INTRODUCTORY STATEMENT
     Enterprise Products Partners L.P. (the “Partnership”) is filing this registration statement on Form S-8 relating to its common units representing limited partner interests in the Partnership (the “Partnership Common Units”), that may be offered and sold pursuant to the EPCO, Inc. 2006 TPP Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”).
     On October 26, 2009, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) dated as of June 28, 2009, by and among the Partnership, Enterprise Products GP, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and the general partner of the Partnership (“Enterprise GP”), Enterprise Sub B LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Partnership (“Merger Sub B”), TEPPCO Partners, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“TEPPCO”), and Texas Eastern Products Pipeline Company, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and the general partner of TEPPCO, among other things, Merger Sub B was merged with and into TEPPCO, with TEPPCO surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Partnership (the “Merger”). Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, all outstanding TEPPCO units, other than 3,645,509 TEPPCO units (the “Designated Units”) owned by an affiliate of EPCO, Inc., a private company controlled by Dan L. Duncan, were cancelled and converted into the right to receive Partnership Common Units based on an exchange ratio of 1.24 Partnership Common Units per TEPPCO unit (the “Exchange Ratio”). The Designated Units were converted, based on the Exchange Ratio, into the right to receive 4,520,431 Class B Units of the Partnership.
     At the effective time of the Merger, (i) each vested and unvested outstanding option to acquire TEPPCO units was assumed by the Partnership and converted into an option to purchase Partnership Common Units, based on the terms of the Merger Agreement and after applying the Exchange Ratio with respect to both the number of shares issuable under the options and the related exercise price therefor and (ii) each outstanding TEPPCO unit appreciation right granted to a TEPPCO employee pursuant to the Plans was assumed by the Partnership and converted into Partnership Common Unit appreciation rights, based on the terms of the Merger Agreement and after applying the Exchange Ratio with respect to the number of TEPPCO unit appreciation rights.

Item 4. Description of Securities.
     Not Applicable.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
     Not Applicable.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
     Section 17-108 of the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act empowers a Delaware limited partnership to indemnify and hold harmless any partner or other person from and against all claims and demands whatsoever. The Partnership’s partnership agreement provides that the Partnership will indemnify (i) Enterprise GP, (ii) any departing general partner, (iii) any person who is or was an affiliate of Enterprise GP or any departing general partner, (iv) any person who is or was a member, partner, officer director, employee, agent or trustee of Enterprise GP or any departing general partner or any affiliate of Enterprise GP or any departing general partner or (v) any person who is or was serving at the request of Enterprise GP or any departing general partner or any affiliate of any such person, any affiliate of Enterprise GP or any fiduciary or trustee of another person (each, a “Partnership Indemnitee”), to the fullest extent permitted by law, 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 Partnership Indemnitee may be involved, or is

II-1


 

threatened to be involved, as a party or otherwise, by reason of its status as a Partnership Indemnitee; provided that in each case the Partnership Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner that such Partnership Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Partnership and, with respect to any criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe its conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere, or its equivalent, shall not create an assumption that the Partnership Indemnitee acted in a manner contrary to that specified above. Any indemnification under these provisions will be only out of the assets of the Partnership, and Enterprise GP shall not be personally liable for, or have any obligation to contribute or lend funds or assets to the Partnership to enable it to effectuate, such indemnification. The Partnership is authorized to purchase (or to reimburse Enterprise GP or its affiliates for the cost of) insurance against liabilities asserted against and expenses incurred by such persons in connection with the Partnership’s activities, regardless of whether the Partnership would have the power to indemnify such person against such liabilities under the provisions described above.
     Section 18-108 of the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act provides that, subject to such standards and restrictions, if any, as are set forth in its limited liability company agreement, a Delaware limited liability company may, and shall have the power to, indemnify and hold harmless any member or manager or other person from and against any and all claims and demands whatsoever. The limited liability company agreement of Enterprise GP provides for the indemnification of (i) present or former members of the Board of Directors of Enterprise GP or any committee thereof, (ii) present or former officers, employees, partners, agents or trustees of the Enterprise GP or (iii) persons serving at the request of Enterprise GP in another entity in a similar capacity as that referred to in the immediately preceding clauses (i) or (ii) (each, a “General Partner Indemnitee”) to the fullest extent permitted by law, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, joint or several, expenses (including reasonable 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 such person may be involved, or is threatened to be involved, as a party or otherwise, by reason of such person’s status as a General Partner Indemnitee; provided, that in each case the General Partner Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner which such General Partner Indemnitee believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Enterprise GP and, with respect to any criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe such General Partner Indemnitee’s conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere, or its equivalent, shall not create a presumption that the General Partner Indemnitee acted in a manner contrary to that specified above. Any indemnification pursuant to these provisions shall be made only out of the assets of Enterprise GP. Enterprise GP is authorized to purchase and maintain insurance, on behalf of the members of its Board of Directors, its officers and such other persons as the Board of Directors may determine, against any liability that may be asserted against or expense that may be incurred by such person in connection with the activities of Enterprise GP, regardless of whether Enterprise GP would have the power to indemnify such person against such liability under the provisions of its limited liability company agreement.
     Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the Partnership or Enterprise GP as set forth above, the Partnership and Enterprise GP have been informed that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

Item 9. Undertakings.
     (a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
     (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
     (i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
     (ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of a prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement;
     (iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;
Provided, however, That paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1(ii) of this section do not apply if the registration statement is on Form S-8, and the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement.
     (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
     (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
     (b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
     (c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the provisions described under Item 6 above, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
