In addition to all other remedies available, including, without limitation, those provided in the Act, a Member must pay the Company interest, at a rate comparable to the rate the Company could obtain from third parties, on all Capital Contributions that Member fails to make at or before the time required from the time required until actual paid.

4.03 Expansion Project Additional Capital Contributions.

(a) The Company may require additional Capital Contributions to fund Expansion Projects (“Expansion Cash Calls”). Except as otherwise provided in this Section 4.03(b), any such required Capital Contributions for Expansion Cash Calls shall be made by the Members in accordance with their Sharing Ratios.

(b) The Board of Directors shall provide written notice to the Members of the date contributions are due, which date shall be not less than 30 nor more than 90 Days following the date of such notice, the aggregate amount of the Capital Contribution required and each Member’s share thereof, and setting forth in reasonable detail the proposed Expansion Project and Expansion Costs associated therewith. Each Member shall advise the Board of Directors in writing within 20 Days whether it elects to participate in such Expansion Project. Any failure to respond within such 20 day period shall be deemed an election not to participate in such Expansion Project.

(c) If DEP OLP elects to participate (within 20 Days after notice of such Expansion Cash Call), then (i) EPD OLP may make additional Capital Contributions of cash in an amount up to the product of its Sharing Ratio and the amount of such Expansion Cash Call,

(ii) DEP OLP shall make additional Capital Contributions of cash equal to the excess of the Expansion Cash Call over amounts elected to be contributed by EPD OLP under clause (i) immediately preceding, and (iii) the Sharing Ratios of the Members shall immediately be adjusted as a result of such additional Capital Contributions if the amounts elected to be contributed by EPD OLP are less than the product of its Sharing Ratio and the amount of such Expansion Cash Call.

If the Company does not have sufficient cash to pay its obligations, any Member that may agree to do so may, upon approval by the Board of Directors, advance all or part of the needed funds for such obligation to or on behalf of the Company. An advance described in this Section 4.04 constitutes a loan from the Member to the Company, shall bear interest at a rate comparable to the rate the Company could obtain from third parties, from the date of the advance until the date of repayment, and is not a Capital Contribution.

4.05 Return of Contributions. A Member is not entitled to the return of any part of its Capital Contributions or to be paid interest in respect of its Capital Contributions. An unrepaid Capital Contribution is not a liability of the Company or of any Member. No Member will be required to contribute or to lend any cash or property to the Company to enable the Company to return any Member’s Capital Contributions.

4.06 Capital Accounts. A capital account shall be established and maintained for each Member.

Reg. § 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(g), but excluding income and gain described in Treas. Reg. § 1.704-1(b)(4)(i), and (b) shall be decreased by (i) the amount of money distributed to that Member by

the Company, (ii) the fair market value of property distributed to that Member by the Company (net of liabilities secured by the distributed property that the Member is considered to assume or take subject to under section 752 of the Code), (iii) allocations to that Member of expenditures of the Company described in section 705(a)(2)(B) of the Code, and (iv) allocations of Company loss and deduction (or items of loss and deduction), including loss and deduction described in Treas. Reg. § 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(g), but excluding items described in clause (b)(iii) above and loss or deduction described in Treas. Reg. § 1.704-1(b)(4)(i) or § 1.704-1(b)(4)(iii). The Members’ capital accounts also shall be maintained and adjusted as permitted by the provisions of Treas. Reg. § 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f) and as required by the other provisions of Treas. Reg. §§ 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv) and 1.704-1(b)(4), including adjustments to reflect the allocations to the Members of depreciation, depletion, amortization, and gain or loss as computed for book purposes rather than the allocation of the corresponding items as computed for tax purposes, as required by Treas. Reg. § 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(g). A Member that has more than one Membership Interest shall have a single capital account that reflects all its Membership Interests, regardless of the class of Membership Interests owned by that Member and regardless of the time or manner in which those Membership Interests were acquired.

ARTICLE 5
ALLOCATIONS AND DISTRIBUTIONS

5.01 Allocations.

(a) Except as otherwise set forth in Section 5.01(b), for purposes of maintaining the capital accounts and in determining the rights of the Members among themselves, all items of income, gain, loss, deduction, and credit of the Company shall be allocated among the Members in accordance with their Sharing Ratios.

(b) The following special allocations shall be made prior to making any allocations provided for in 5.01(a) above:

(i) Minimum Gain Chargeback. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof to the contrary, if there is a net decrease in Minimum Gain (as generally defined under Treas. Reg. § 1.704-1 or § 1.704-2) for a taxable year (or if there was a net decrease in Minimum Gain for a prior taxable year and the Company did not have sufficient amounts of income and gain during prior years to allocate among the Members under this subsection 5.01(b)(i), then items of income and gain shall be allocated to each Member in an amount equal to such Member’s share of the net decrease in such Minimum Gain (as determined pursuant to Treas. Reg. § 1.704-2(g)(2)). It is the intent of the Members that any allocation pursuant to this subsection 5.01(b)(i) shall constitute a “minimum gain chargeback” under Treas. Reg. § 1.704-2(f) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

(ii) Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain Chargeback. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article 5, except subsection 5.01(b)(i), if there is a net decrease in Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain (as generally defined under Treas. Reg. § 1.704-1 or § 1.704-2), during any taxable year, any Member who has a share of the Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain shall be allocated such amount of income and gain for such year (and subsequent years, if necessary) determined in the manner required by Treas. Reg. § 1.704-2(i)(4) as is necessary to meet the requirements for a chargeback of Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain.

(iii) Qualified Income Offset. Except as provided in subsection 5.01(b)(i) and (ii) hereof, in the event any Member unexpectedly receives any adjustments, allocations or distributions described in Treas. Reg. Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(i)(d)(4), 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(5), or 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(6), items of Company income and gain shall be specifically allocated to such Member in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate, to the extent required by the Allocation Regulations, the deficit balance, if any, in its adjusted capital account created by such adjustments, allocations or distributions as quickly as possible.

(iv) Gross Income Allocations. In the event any Member has a deficit balance in its adjusted capital account at the end of any Company taxable period, such Member shall be specially allocated items of Company gross income and gain in the amount of such excess as quickly as possible; provided, that an allocation pursuant to this subsection 5.01(b)(iv) shall be made only if and to the extent that such Member would have a deficit balance in its adjusted capital account after all other allocations provided in this Section 5.01 have been tentatively made as if subsection 5.01(b)(iv) were not in the Agreement.

(v) Company Nonrecourse Deductions. Company Nonrecourse Deductions (as determined under Treas. Reg. Section 1.704-2(c)) for any fiscal year shall be allocated among the Members in proportion to their Membership Interests.

(vi) Member Nonrecourse Deductions. Any Member Nonrecourse Deductions (as defined under Treas. Reg. Section 1.704-2(i)(2)) shall be allocated pursuant to Treas. Reg. Section 1.704-2(i) to the Member who bears the economic risk of loss with respect to the partner nonrecourse debt to which it is attributable.

(vii) Code Section 754 Adjustment. To the extent an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any Company asset pursuant to Section 734(b) or 743(b) of the Code is required, pursuant to the Allocation Regulations, to be taken into account in determining capital accounts, the amount of such adjustment to the capital accounts shall be treated as an item of gain (if the adjustment increases the basis of the asset) or loss (if the adjustment decreases such basis), and such item of gain or loss shall be specially allocated to the Members in a manner consistent with the manner in which their capital accounts are required to be adjusted pursuant to the Allocation Regulations.

(viii) Curative Allocation. The special allocations set forth in subsections 5.01(b)(i)-(vi) (the “Regulatory Allocations”) are intended to comply with the Allocation Regulations. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 5.01, the Regulatory Allocations shall be taken into account in allocating items of income, gain, loss and deduction among the Members such that, to the extent possible, the net amount of allocations of such items and the Regulatory Allocations to each Member shall be equal to the net amount that would have been allocated to each Member if the Regulatory Allocations had not occurred.

(ix) Measurement Gains and Measurement Losses. All items of Company income, gain, deduction or loss attributable to, or arising from, Measurement Gains and Measurement Losses shall be allocated 100% to EPD OLP.

(c) For federal income tax purposes, except as otherwise required by the Code, the Allocation Regulations or the following sentence, each item of Company income, gain, loss, deduction and credit shall be allocated among the Members in the same manner as corresponding items are allocated in Section 5.01(a). Notwithstanding any provisions contained herein to the contrary, solely for federal income tax purposes, items of income, gain, depreciation, gain or loss with respect to property contributed or deemed contributed to the Company by a Member or whose value is adjusted pursuant to the Allocation Regulations shall be allocated among the Members so as to take into account the variation between the Company’s tax basis in such property and its Carrying Value in the manner provided under section 704(c) of the Code and Treas. Reg. § 1.704-3(d) (i.e. the “remedial method”).

5.02 Distributions.

(a) At least once each month prior to commencement of winding up under Section 13.01, the Board of Directors shall determine in its reasonable judgment to what extent (if any) the Company’s cash on hand exceeds its current and anticipated needs, including, without limitation, for operating expenses, debt service, acquisitions, and a reasonable contingency reserve. Except as otherwise set forth in Section 4.02 or this Section 5.02, if such an excess exists, the Board of Directors shall cause the Company to distribute to the Members, in accordance with their Sharing Ratios, an amount in cash equal to that excess.

(b) If DEP OLP elects not to participate in Expansion Cash Calls in accordance with Section 4.03(d), then for the period beginning on the Initial Commencement Date and ending on the earlier of the date 90 Days following the Initial Commencement Date or the date DEP OLP makes a payment to EPD OLP in accordance with Section 4.03(d), the Board of Directors shall cause the Company to distribute 100% of the Company’s cash on hand attributable to the applicable Expansion Project to EPD OLP.

(c) Within 45 Days following the end of any fiscal quarter, the Board of Directors shall cause the Company to distribute to EPD OLP an amount in cash equal to the Net Measurement Gain, if any, for such period.

(d) From time to time the Board of Directors also may cause property of the Company other than cash to be distributed to the Members, which distribution must be made in accordance with their Sharing Ratios and may be made subject to existing liabilities and obligations. Immediately prior to such a distribution, the capital accounts of the Members shall be adjusted as provided in Treas. Reg. § 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f).

Notice of the time and place of a special meeting must be given by the person or persons calling such meeting at least twenty-four (24) hours, before the special meeting. The attendance of a Director at any meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except where a Director attends a meeting for the sole purpose of objecting to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any special meeting of the Board of Directors need be specified in the notice or waiver of notice of such meeting.

(e) Term; Resignation; Vacancies; Removal. Each Director shall hold office until his successor is appointed and qualified or until his earlier resignation or removal. Any Director may resign at any time upon written notice to the Board, the Chairman of the Board, to the Chief Executive Officer or to any other Officer.

(f) Quorum; Required Vote for Action. Except as may be otherwise specifically provided by law or this Agreement, at all meetings of the Board of Directors a majority of the whole Board of Directors shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. The vote of a majority of the Directors present at any meeting of the Board of Directors at which there is a quorum shall be the act of the Board of Directors. If a quorum shall not be present at any meeting of the Board of Directors, the Directors present thereat may adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until a quorum shall be present.

(g) Committees. The Board of Directors may, by resolution passed by a majority of the whole Board of Directors, designate one or more committees, each committee to consist of one or more of the Directors of the Company. The Board of Directors may designate one or more Directors as alternate members of any committee, who may replace any absent or disqualified member at any meeting of the committee. In the absence or disqualification of a member of a committee, and in the absence of a designation by the Board of Directors of an alternate member to replace the absent or disqualified member, the member or members thereof present at any meeting and not disqualified from voting, whether or not he, she or they constitute a quorum, may unanimously appoint another member of the Board of Directors to act at the meeting in place of any absent or disqualified member.

Each committee shall keep regular minutes and report to the Board of Directors when required.

The designation of any such committee and the delegation thereto of authority shall not operate to relieve the Board of Directors, or any member thereof, of any responsibility imposed upon it or him by law, nor shall such committee function where action of the Board of Directors is required under applicable law. The Board of Directors shall have the power at any time to change the membership of any such committee and to fill vacancies in it. A majority of the members of any such committee shall constitute a quorum. Each such committee may elect a chairman and appoint such subcommittees and assistants as it may deem necessary.

Any member of any such committee elected or appointed by the Board of Directors may be removed by the Board of Directors whenever in its judgment the best interests of the Company will be served thereby, but such removal shall be without prejudice to the contract rights, if any, of the person so removed.

All notices, requests and consents to be sent to a Member must be sent to or made at the addresses given for that Member as that Member may specify by notice to the other Members. Any notice, request or consent to the Company must be given to all of the Members. Whenever any notice is required to be given by applicable Law, the Organizational Certificate or this Agreement, a written waiver thereof, signed by the Person entitled to notice, whether before or after the time stated therein, shall be deemed equivalent to the giving of such notice. Whenever any notice is required to be given by Law, the Organizational Certificate or this Agreement, a written waiver thereof, signed by the Person entitled to notice, whether before or after the time stated therein, shall be deemed equivalent to the giving of such notice.

15.02 Entire Agreement; Supersedure. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of the Members and their respective Affiliates relating to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior contracts or agreements with respect to such subject matter, whether oral or written.

15.03 Effect of Waiver or Consent. Except as provided in this Agreement, a waiver or consent, express or implied, to or of any breach or default by any Person in the performance by that Person of its obligations with respect to the Company is not a consent or waiver to or of any other breach or default in the performance by that Person of the same or any other obligations of that Person with respect to the Company. Except as provided in this Agreement, failure on the part of a Person to complain of any act of any Person or to declare any Person in default with respect to the Company, irrespective of how long that failure continues, does not constitute a waiver by that Person of its rights with respect to that default until the applicable statute-of-limitations period has run.

15.05 Binding Effect. This Agreement is binding on and shall inure to the benefit of the Members and their respective heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns.

In the event of a direct conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and (a) any provision of the Organizational Certificate, or (b) any mandatory, non-waivable provision of the Act, such provision of the Organizational Certificate or the Act shall control. If any provision of the Act provides that it may be varied or superseded in the limited liability company agreement (or otherwise by agreement of the members or managers of a limited liability company), such provision shall be deemed superseded and waived in its entirety if this Agreement contains a provision addressing the same issue or subject matter. If any provision of this Agreement or the application thereof to any Person or circumstance is held invalid or unenforceable to any extent, (a) the remainder of this Agreement and the application of that provision to other Persons or circumstances is not affected thereby and that provision shall be enforced to the greatest extent permitted by Law, and (b) the Members or Directors (as the case may be) shall negotiate in good faith to replace that provision with a new provision that is valid and enforceable and that puts the Members in substantially the same economic, business and legal position as they would have been in if the original provision had been valid and enforceable.

15.07 Further Assurances. In connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, each Member shall execute and deliver any additional documents and instruments and perform any additional acts that may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate and perform the provisions of this Agreement and those transactions.

15.09 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts with the same effect as if all signing parties had signed the same document. All counterparts shall be construed together and constitute the same instrument.

15.10 Execution of Additional Instruments. Each Member hereby agrees to execute such other and further statements of interest and holdings, designations, powers of attorney and other instruments necessary to comply with any laws, rules or regulations.

15.11 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the application thereof to any person or circumstance shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable to any extent, the remainder of this Agreement and the application thereof shall not be affected and shall be enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.
