(a) The Indemnified Party agrees that within a reasonable period of time after it becomes aware of facts giving rise to a claim for indemnification pursuant to this Article 2, they will provide notice thereof in writing to the Indemnifying Party specifying the nature of and specific basis for such claim; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party shall not submit claims more frequently than once a calendar quarter (or twice in the case of the last calendar quarter prior to the expiration of the applicable indemnity coverage under this Agreement).

(b) The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to control all aspects of the defense of (and any counterclaims with respect to) any claims brought against the Indemnified Party that are covered by the indemnification set forth in this Article 2, including, without limitation, the selection of counsel, determination of whether to appeal any decision of any court and the settling of any such matter or any issues relating thereto; provided, however, that no such settlement shall be entered into without the consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) of the Indemnified Party unless it includes a full release of the Indemnified Party from such matter or issues, as the case may be.

The Indemnifying Party agrees to keep any such counsel hired by the Indemnified Party reasonably informed as to the status of any such defense, but the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to retain sole control over such defense.

(d) In determining the amount of any loss, cost, damage or expense for which the Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, the gross amount of the indemnification will be reduced by (i) any insurance proceeds realized by the Indemnified Party, and such correlative insurance benefit shall be net of any incremental insurance premium that becomes due and payable by the Indemnified Party as a result of such claim and (ii) all amounts recovered by the Indemnified Party under contractual indemnities from third Persons. The Partnership hereby agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to realize any applicable insurance proceeds or amounts recoverable under such contractual indemnities.

ARTICLE 4
Rights of First Refusal

Section 4.1 Right of First Refusal.

(a) Subject to Section 4.1(b), for so long as an EPD Entity controls EPD OLP, (i) the Operating Partnership hereby grants to EPD OLP a right of first refusal on any proposed Transfer (other than a grant of a security interest to a bona fide third-party lender or a Transfer to another member of the Partnership Group) of any equity interest in the Subsidiaries held by the Operating Partnership and (ii) the Operating Partnership and each of the Initial Subsidiaries hereby grants to EPD OLP a right of first refusal on any proposed Transfer (other than a grant of a security interest to a bona fide third-party lender or a Transfer to another member of the Partnership Group) of any assets held by the Partnership Group; provided, the foregoing shall not apply to Transfers of (i) any assets that are not material to the conduct of the business and operations of the Operating Partnership or any of the Initial Subsidiaries and (ii) inventory or other assets of the Partnership Group in the ordinary course of business; and provided, further, that EPD OLP agrees to pay or to cause such other EPD Entity to pay no less than 100% of the purchase price offered by a bona fide, third-party prospective acquiror (a “Proposed Transferee”).

(b) The Parties acknowledge that any potential Transfer of assets pursuant to this Article 4 (such assets, the “ROFR Assets”) shall be subject to, conditioned on and in compliance with the terms and conditions in the Credit Facility and obtaining any and all necessary consents of equityholders, noteholders or other securityholders, governmental authorities, lenders or other third parties.

(c) The Operating Partnership and each of the Initial Subsidiaries hereby agree that it will not consent to, and direct any of their officers or directors not to consent to, the Transfer of any assets by any members of the Partnership Group who are not Parties to this Agreement in violation of this Article 4 and will use its best efforts to require any other members of the Partnership Group to comply with this Article 4 as if they were Parties to this Agreement.

Section 4.2 Procedures.

(a) If a member of the Partnership Group proposes to Transfer any ROFR Assets to a Proposed Transferee (a “Partnership Acquisition Proposal”), then the OLPGP shall promptly give written notice (a “Partnership Disposition Notice”) thereof to EPD OLP. The Partnership Disposition Notice shall set forth the following information in respect of the proposed Transfer:

(i) the name and address of the Proposed Transferee;

(ii) the ROFR Asset(s) subject to the Partnership Acquisition Proposal;

(iii) the purchase price offered by such Proposed Transferee (the “Partnership Offer Price”);

(iv) reasonable detail concerning any non-cash portion of the proposed consideration, if any, to allow EPD OLP to reasonably determine the fair value of such non-cash consideration;

(v) the OLPGP’s estimate of the fair value of any non-cash consideration; and

(vi) all other material terms and conditions of the Partnership Acquisition Proposal that are then known to the OLPGP.

To the extent the Proposed Transferee’s offer consists of consideration other than cash (or in addition to cash), the Partnership Offer Price shall be deemed equal to the amount of any such cash plus the fair value of such non-cash consideration. If EPD OLP determines that it wishes to, or wishes to cause another EPD Entity to, purchase the applicable ROFR Assets on the terms set forth in the Partnership Disposition Notice (subject to the provisos set forth in Section 4.1(a), including without limitation the requirement therein to pay 100% of the purchase price specified in the Partnership Disposition Notice), it will deliver notice thereof to the OLPGP within 45 days after the OLPGP’s delivery of the Partnership Disposition Notice (the “Acceptance Deadline”). Failure to provide such notice within such 45-day period shall be deemed to constitute a decision not to purchase the applicable ROFR Assets, and EPD OLP shall be deemed to have waived its rights with respect to such proposed disposition of the applicable ROFR Assets, but not with respect to any future offer of such ROFR Assets. If the Transfer by the member of the

Partnership Group to the Proposed Transferee is not consummated in accordance with the terms of the Partnership Acquisition Proposal within the later of (A) 180 days after the Acceptance Deadline, and (B) 10 days after the satisfaction of all consent, governmental approval or filing requirements, if any, the Partnership Acquisition Proposal shall be deemed to lapse, and the member of the Partnership Group may not Transfer any of the ROFR Assets described in the Partnership Disposition Notice without complying again with the provisions of this Article 4 if and to the extent then applicable.

(b) If requested by the transferee Party, the transferor Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain financial statements with respect to any ROFR Assets Transferred pursuant to this Article 4 as required under Regulation S-X promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission or any successor statute. EPD OLP and the Partnership Group shall cooperate in good faith in obtaining all necessary consents of equityholders, noteholders or other securityholders, governmental authorities, lenders or other third parties.

ARTICLE 5
Preemptive Rights

Section 5.1 Preemptive Rights in Initial Subsidiaries.

(a) If any Initial Subsidiary proposes to sell any of its authorized limited liability company interests, partnership interests, shares or other equity interests (“Capital Stock”) to any Person in a transaction or transactions, as the case may be, other than (i) as consideration for the acquisition of any other Person, assets or businesses, or (ii) any equity securities (including convertible debt or warrants) issued as consideration in connection with a loan to or debt financing of the Initial Subsidiary, each of the Operating Partnership and EPD OLP shall have the right to purchase, at the same price per unit, percentage interest or share of such Capital Stock and upon substantially similar terms and conditions, a pro rata number or percentage interest of such Capital Stock based on the number or percentage interest of the Capital Stock as it owned immediately prior to such issuance.

(b) In the event of a proposed transaction or transactions, as the case may be, that would give rise to preemptive rights of the Operating Partnership and EPD OLP under this Article 5, the Operating Partnership shall provide notice to EPD OLP no later than thirty (30) days prior to the expected consummation of such transaction or transactions. Each Party possessing preemptive rights hereunder shall provide notice of its election to exercise such rights within ten (10) Business Days after delivery of such notice from the Operating Partnership. If any Party having a right to purchase Capital Stock under the preceding sentence shall elect not to exercise such right, then the other Party that has elected to exercise their rights with respect hereto shall have the right to purchase such additional Capital Stock from the Party upon which such right was not exercised; provided, however, that if, in connection with any proposed transaction or transactions giving rise to rights hereunder, any Capital Stock remains from those that were available to the Parties pursuant to their rights hereunder, no Party shall have any preemptive rights under this Article 5 and the proposed transaction or transactions shall be consummated without any exercise of preemptive rights hereunder. In the event of a situation described in the preceding sentence in which a Party elects not to exercise its preemptive rights with respect to a proposed transaction or transactions, the Operating Partnership shall provide

notice (the “Subsequent Notice”) of such fact within five (5) Business Days following the receipt of all of the notices concerning such elections from the Parties possessing such preemptive rights. Each Party possessing the right to purchase the additional Capital Stock upon which the preemptive rights were not exercised shall respond to this Subsequent Notice by sending a response notice with respect thereto within five (5) Business Days after delivery of the Subsequent Notice. Failure of any Party to respond to such Subsequent Notice with a notice stating the election of such Party to purchase such additional Capital Stock shall be deemed to be an election not to purchase such Capital Stock, and the proposed transaction or transactions shall be consummated without any exercise of preemptive rights hereunder. Subsequent Notices shall also not be required if EPD OLP has previously notified the Operating Partnership, and the Operating Partnership has notified EPD OLP, of their respective desires not to purchase additional Capital Stock.

(c) Each of the Operating Partnership and the Initial Subsidiary agrees that it shall not authorize or permit any of direct or indirect Subsidiaries of the Initial Subsidiaries to issue (by initial issuance or by way of merger, consolidation or similar transaction) any of its Capital Stock to any Person other than (i) to a direct or indirect wholly owned Subsidiary of such Initial Subsidiary, (ii) pro rata based on the then-current percentage interests owned by such other Persons in a transaction in which the Initial Subsidiary shall maintain its then-current percentage interest, (iii) as consideration for the acquisition of any other Person, assets or businesses, or (iv) any equity securities (including convertible debt or warrants) issued as consideration in connection with a loan to or debt financing of the Initial Subsidiary. Each Initial Subsidiary agrees that it shall not issue any of its Capital Stock, and shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries to issue any Capital Stock, in violation of this Article 5.
