Item 1.01.   Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
     Administrative Services Agreement. On January 30, 2007, Enterprise Products Partners L.P. (“Enterprise”), EPCO, Inc. (“EPCO”), EPOLP, Enterprise Products GP, LLC (the “General Partner”), Enterprise Products OLPGP, Inc. (“EPD OLPGP”), Enterprise GP Holdings L.P. (“EPE”), EPE Holdings, LLC (“EPE Holdings”), DEP Holdings, the Partnership, DEP Operating Partnership, L.P. (“DEP Operating Partnership” and together with DEP Holdings and the Partnership, the “DEP Partnership Entities”), TEPPCO Partners, L.P. (“TEPPCO”), Texas Eastern Products Pipeline Company, LLC (“TPP GP”), TE Products Pipeline Company, Limited Partnership, TEPPCO Midstream Companies, L.P., TCTM, L.P. and TEPPCO GP, Inc. (such latter six parties being referred to herein as the “TEPPCO Parties”) executed and delivered the Fourth Amended and Restated Administrative Services Agreement, dated January 30, 2007, but effective as of February 5, 2007 (the “Amended Agreement”).
     Prior to the amendment of the Amended Agreement, the Third Amended and Restated Administrative Services Agreement provided for EPCO to provide administrative, management and operating services to the Partnership Entities (defined in the Amended Agreement as Enterprise, the General Partner, OLP, OLPGP, EPE, EPE Holdings, the DEP Partnership Entities, the TEPPCO Parties and any affiliate controlled by any of them), and for the Partnership Entities to reimburse EPCO for all of its costs and expenses that are directly or indirectly related to the business or activities of the Partnership Entities. The Amended Agreement provides that EPCO will continue to provide such services to the Partnership Entities in exchange for such cost and expense reimbursement, and that EPCO shall also provide such services to the new parties to the Amended Agreement under the same arrangement. The Amended Agreement effectuated the following changes to the Third Amended and Restated Administrative Services Agreement:
  (i)   DEP Partnership Entities were added as parties thereto;
 
  (ii)   revisions were made to Section 5.4, Business Opportunities;
 
  (iii)   revisions were made to Exhibit B describing conflicts, policies and procedures; and
 
  (iv)   various other changes to reflect the new parties and procedures.
     A number of other changes were made in the Amended Agreement (all of which in the aggregate are immaterial) for the purpose of updating certain information and definitions and providing consistency with the above described changes. A copy of the Amended Agreement is filed as Exhibit 10.18 to the Form 8-K of Duncan Energy Partners L.P. filed on February 5, 2007 and is incorporated herein by reference into this Item 1.01.
     Omnibus Agreement. On February 5, 2007, the Partnership, DEP Holdings, OLPGP, DEP Operating Partnership and EPOLP entered into an omnibus agreement (the “Omnibus Agreement”). The Omnibus Agreement governs the obligations of EPOLP to indemnify the Partnership against (i) certain environmental and related liabilities (up to but not exceeding $15.0 million) arising during the three years following the closing date of the initial public offering, (ii) certain defects in the easement rights or fee ownership interests in and to the lands on which any assets contributed to the Partnership are located and failure to obtain certain consents and permits necessary to conduct the Partnership’s business that arise within three years after the closing date, and (iii) certain income tax liabilities attributable to the operation of the assets contributed to the Partnership prior to the time they were contributed. In addition, EPOLP has agreed to reimburse the Partnership for certain expenditures related to South Texas NGL Pipelines, LLC (“South Texas NGL”) and Mont Belvieu Caverns, LLC (“Mont Belvieu Caverns”). The Omnibus Agreement also grants to EPOLP a right of first refusal on the equity interests in the Partnership’s current and future subsidiaries and a right of first refusal on the material assets of these entities, other than sales of inventory and other assets in the ordinary course of business and a preemptive right with respect to equity securities issued by certain of the Partnership’s subsidiaries, other than as consideration in an acquisition or in connection with a loan or debt financing. A copy of the Omnibus Agreement is filed as Exhibit 10.19 to the Form 8-K of Duncan Energy Partners L.P. filed on February 5, 2007 and is incorporated herein by reference into this Item 1.01.
