(“EPOGP”), a Delaware corporation and managing member of EPO (defined below), and Enterprise Products Operating LLC (“EPO”), a Texas limited liability company and collectively with the Partnership and EPOGP, the “Enterprise Parties,” and Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Xxxxxxx Lynch, Pierce, Xxxxxx & Xxxxx Incorporated, Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., Knight Capital Americas, L.P., Mizuho Securities USA Inc., Xxxxxxx Xxxxx & Associates, Inc., RBS Securities Inc., Scotia Capital (USA) Inc., SunTrust Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx, Inc., UBS Securities LLC and Xxxxx Fargo Securities, LLC (each, a “Manager” and collectively, the “Managers”), as follows:

SECTION 1. Description of Securities. The Partnership proposes to issue and sell through or to the Managers, as sales agents and/or principals, common units representing limited partner interests in the Partnership (the “Common Units”) having an aggregate offering price of up to $1,000,000,000 (the “Units”) from time to time during the term of this Agreement and on the terms set forth in Section 3 of this Agreement. For purposes of selling the Units through the Managers, the Partnership hereby appoints the Managers as exclusive agents of the Partnership for the purpose of soliciting purchases of the Units from the Partnership pursuant to this Agreement and each Manager agrees to use its reasonable efforts to solicit purchases of the Units on the terms and subject to the conditions stated herein. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Partnership hereby reserves the right to issue and sell Common Units other than through or to the Managers during the term of this Agreement on terms that it deems appropriate. The Partnership agrees that whenever it determines to sell any portion of the Units directly to any Manager as principal, it will enter into a separate agreement (each, a “Terms Agreement”) in form and substance satisfactory to the Partnership and such Manager, relating to such sale in accordance with Section 3 of this Agreement.

SECTION 2. Representations and Warranties of the Enterprise Parties. The Enterprise Parties, jointly and severally, represent and warrant to and agree with each of the Managers as of the date hereof and at each such time the following representations and warranties are repeated or deemed to be made pursuant to this Agreement that:

(a) The Partnership has prepared and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”), pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and the rules and regulations adopted by the Commission thereunder (the “Rules and Regulations”), a registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-179934), including a prospectus, relating to the Units, and such registration statement has become effective. As used in this Agreement:

(i) “Registration Statement” means the registration statement referred to in Section 2(a), as amended to the date of this Agreement, including (1) financial statements, exhibits and Incorporated Documents (as hereinafter defined), (2) any information contained or incorporated by reference in a prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the Rules and Regulations, to the extent such information is deemed, pursuant to Rule 430B or Rule 430C of the Rules and Regulations, to be part of the registration statement at the time of such registration statement’s effectiveness for purposes of Section 11 of the Securities Act, as such section applies to each Manager, and (3) any registration statement filed to register the offer and sale of the Units pursuant to Rule 462(b) of the Rules and Regulations, and includes any new registration statement, post-effective amendment to such registration statement or new shelf registration statement as may have been filed pursuant to Section 4(f) of this Agreement.

(ii) “Base Prospectus” means the prospectus dated March 16, 2012 filed as part of the Registration Statement, unless a new registration statement has been filed under Section 4(f) of this Agreement and become effective, in which case the “Base Prospectus” shall be the final prospectus first filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) after the effectiveness of such new registration statement.

(iii) “Prospectus Supplement” means, except with respect to Section 7, the most recent prospectus supplement relating to the Units filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the Rules and Regulations.

(iv) “Prospectus” means the Base Prospectus, as supplemented by the Prospectus Supplement. The Prospectus sets forth the terms of the offering, sale and plan of distribution of the Units and contains or incorporates therein by reference additional information concerning the Partnership and its business.

Any reference herein to the Registration Statement, the Base Prospectus, any Prospectus Supplement or the Prospectus shall be deemed to include all documents incorporated, or deemed to be incorporated, therein by reference pursuant to the requirements of Item 12 of Form S-3 under the Securities Act (the “Incorporated Documents”), including, unless the context otherwise requires, documents of the types specified in such Item 12 and filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder (collectively, the “Exchange Act”). For purposes of this Agreement, all references to the Registration Statement, the Base Prospectus, the Prospectus Supplement, the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement to any of the foregoing shall be deemed to include the copy filed with the Commission pursuant to its Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval system (“XXXXX”), which XXXXX copy is substantially identical to the other copies of such material, except to the extent permitted by Regulation S-T. Any reference herein to the terms “amend,” “amendment” or “supplement” with respect to the Registration Statement, the Base Prospectus, the Prospectus Supplement or the Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and include the filing of any document under the Exchange Act on or after the initial effective date of the Registration Statement, or the date of the Base Prospectus, the Prospectus Supplement or the Prospectus, as the case may be, and deemed to be incorporated therein by reference.

(b) Ineligible Issuer. For purposes of each offering of the Units pursuant to transactions under this Agreement that are not firm commitment underwritings, the Partnership will be an “ineligible issuer” (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) as of each relevant eligibility determination date for purposes of Rules 164 and 433 under the Securities Act.

(c) No Stop Order. The Commission has not issued an order preventing or suspending the use of the Base Prospectus, the Prospectus Supplement or the Prospectus, or the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, and no proceeding for that purpose or pursuant to Section 8A of the Securities Act has been instituted or, to the Partnership’s knowledge, threatened by the Commission.

(d) Compliance with Securities Laws. (i) The Registration Statement, at the time it originally became effective, as of the date hereof, as of the time of each sale of Units pursuant to this Agreement (each, a “Time of Sale”), at each Settlement Date (as defined in Section 3(a)(vi) below) and at all times during which a prospectus is required by the Securities Act to be delivered (whether physically, deemed to be delivered pursuant to Rule 153 of the

(i) Each part of the Registration Statement and any amendment thereto, at the time it became effective, at each Time of Sale, on each related Settlement Date and at the time a prospectus relating to the Units is required by the Securities Act to be delivered, did not and will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; (ii) the Registration Statement meets, and the offering and sale of the Units as contemplated hereby complies with, the requirements of Rule 415 of the Rules and Regulations; (iii) the Base Prospectus and any amendment thereto, at the time it was filed or will be filed with the Commission, did not and will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; (iv) the Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto, at the time it was filed or will be filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424 of the Rules and Regulations, did not and will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; and (v) at each Time of Sale, on each related Settlement Date and at the time a prospectus relating to the Units is required by the Securities Act to be delivered (whether physically, deemed to be delivered pursuant to Rule 153 of the Rules and Regulations or through compliance with Rule 172 of the Rules and Regulations or any similar rule), the Prospectus, as then amended or supplemented, did not and will not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, that the Partnership makes no representation or warranty with respect to any statement contained in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing by or on behalf of any Manager expressly for use in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus.

(f) No Prior Sale. Prior to the execution of this Agreement, the Partnership has not, directly or indirectly, offered or sold any Units by means of any “prospectus” (within the meaning of the Securities Act) or used any “prospectus” (within the meaning of the Securities Act) in connection with the offer or sale of the Units, and from and after the execution of this Agreement, the Partnership will not, directly or indirectly, offer or sell any Units by means of any “prospectus” (within the meaning of the Securities Act) or use any “prospectus” (within the meaning of the Securities Act) in connection with the offer or sale of the Units, other than the Prospectus, as amended or supplemented from time to time in accordance with the provisions of

this Agreement; the Partnership has not, directly or indirectly, prepared, used or referred to any issuer free writing prospectus, as defined in Rule 433 of the Rules and Regulations, with respect to the Units, although the Partnership makes no representation with respect to actions taken by any Manager.

(v) Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm. Deloitte & Touche LLP, who has audited the consolidated financial statements of the Partnership contained or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, is an independent registered public accounting firm with respect to the Partnership and the General Partner within the meaning of the Securities Act and the applicable rules and regulations thereunder adopted by the Commission and the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (the “PCAOB”).

(w) Financial Statements. The historical consolidated financial statements (including the related notes and schedules) contained or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus (i) comply in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act (except that certain supporting schedules are omitted in accordance with Commission regulations), (ii) present fairly in all material respects the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the entities purported to be shown thereby on the basis stated therein at the respective dates or for the respective periods, and (iii) have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States of America consistently applied throughout the periods involved, except to the extent disclosed in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus. The other financial information of the Partnership and its subsidiaries, including non-GAAP financial measures, if any, contained or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus has been derived from the accounting records of the Partnership and its subsidiaries, and fairly presents the information purported to be shown thereby. Any pro forma financial statements incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus include assumptions that provide a reasonable basis for presenting the significant effects directly attributable to the transactions and events described therein, the related pro forma adjustments give appropriate effect to those assumptions and the pro forma adjustments reflect the proper application of those adjustments to the historical financial statement amounts in the pro forma financial statements included in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus. Any pro forma financial statements incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus comply as to form in all material respects with the applicable accounting requirements of Regulation S-X and the pro forma adjustments have been properly applied to the historical amounts in the compilation of those statements. Nothing has come to the attention of any of the Enterprise Parties that has caused them to believe that the statistical and market-related data included in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus is not based on or derived

from sources that are reliable and accurate in all material respects. The interactive data in eXtensible Business Reporting Language (“XBRL”) incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus fairly presents in all material respects the information contained therein and has been prepared in accordance with the Commission’s rules and guidelines applicable thereto in all material respects.

SECTION 3. Sale and Delivery of Securities. (a) On the basis of the representations, warranties and agreements herein contained, but subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, the Enterprise Parties and each of the Managers agree that the Partnership may from time to time seek to sell Units through the Managers, acting as sales agents, or directly to the Managers acting as principals, as follows:

(i) The Partnership may submit to any Manager its orders (including any price, time or size limits or other customary parameters or conditions) to sell Units on any Trading Day (as defined herein) in a form and manner as mutually agreed to by the Partnership and such Manager; provided, however, that the Partnership will only submit its orders to one of the Managers on a single Trading Day. As used herein, “Trading Day” shall mean any trading day on the NYSE.

(ii) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Manager shall use its reasonable efforts to execute any Partnership order submitted to it hereunder to sell Units and with respect to which such Manager has agreed to act as sales agent. The Enterprise Parties acknowledge and agree that (A) there can be no assurance that any Manager will be successful in selling the Units, (B) a Manager will incur no liability or obligation to the Enterprise Parties or any other person or entity if it does not sell Units for any reason other than a failure by such Manager to use its reasonable efforts consistent with its normal trading and sales practices and applicable law and regulations to sell such Units as required under this Agreement, and (C) each Manager shall be under no obligation to purchase Units on a principal basis pursuant to this Agreement, except as otherwise specifically agreed by such Manager and the Enterprise Parties.

(iii) The Partnership shall not authorize the issuance and sale of, and each Manager shall not sell as sales agent, any Unit at a price lower than the minimum price therefor designated from time to time by the Partnership and notified to such Manager in writing. In addition, the Partnership or any Manager may, upon notice to the other party hereto by telephone (confirmed promptly by such party by email), suspend for any reason an offering of the Units with respect to which such Manager is acting as sales agent; provided, however, that such suspension or termination shall not affect or impair the parties’ respective obligations with respect to the Units sold hereunder prior to the giving of such notice.

(iv) Each of the Managers hereby covenants and agrees not to make sales of the Units on behalf of the Partnership other than by means of ordinary brokers’ transactions between members of the NYSE or any other national securities exchange that qualify for delivery of a Prospectus in accordance with Rule 153 of the Securities Act or such other sales of the Units on behalf of the Partnership as shall be agreed by the Partnership and such Manager.

(v) The compensation to each Manager for sales of the Units with respect to which such Manager acts as sales agent hereunder shall be up to 2.0% of the gross sales price of the Units sold as specified in Schedule I attached hereto. Such rate of compensation shall not apply when such Manager acts as principal. The remaining proceeds, after further deduction for any transaction fees imposed by any governmental or self-regulatory organization in respect of such sales, shall constitute the net proceeds to the Partnership for such Units (the “Net Proceeds”).

(vi) Settlement for sales of the Units pursuant to this Agreement will occur on the third Trading Day (or such earlier day as is industry practice for regular-way trading) following the date on which such sales are made (each such day, a “Settlement Date”). On each Settlement Date, the Units sold through or to a Manager for settlement on such date shall be issued and delivered by the Partnership to such Manager against payment of the Net Proceeds from the sale of such Units. Settlement for all such Units shall be effected by free delivery of the Units by the Partnership or its transfer agent to such Manager’s or its designee’s account (provided such Manager shall have given the Partnership written notice of such designee prior to the Settlement Date) at The Depository Trust Company through its Deposit and Withdrawal at Custodian System or by such other means of delivery as may be mutually agreed upon by the parties hereto which in all cases shall be freely tradable, transferable, registered Units in good deliverable form, in return for payments in same day funds delivered to the account designated by the Partnership. If the Partnership, or its transfer agent (if applicable), shall default on its obligation to deliver the Units on any Settlement Date, the Partnership shall (A) hold such Manager harmless against any loss, claim, damage or expense (including reasonable legal fees and expenses), as incurred, arising out of or in connection with such default by the Partnership and (B) pay such Manager any commission, discount or other compensation to which it would otherwise be entitled absent such default.

(vii) If acting as sales agent hereunder, a Manager shall provide written confirmation (which may be by email) to the Partnership following the close of trading on the NYSE each day in which the Units are sold under this Agreement setting forth (A) the number of Units sold on such day and the gross offering proceeds received from such sale and (B) the commission payable by the Partnership to such Manager with respect to such sales.

(viii) At each Time of Sale, Settlement Date and Representation Date (as defined in Section 4(n)), the Partnership shall be deemed to have affirmed each representation and warranty contained in this Agreement. Any obligation of a Manager to use its reasonable efforts to sell the Units on behalf of the Partnership as sales agent shall be subject to the continuing accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Partnership herein, to the performance by the Partnership of its obligations hereunder and to the continuing satisfaction of the additional conditions specified in Section 6 of this Agreement.

(b) (i) If the Partnership wishes to issue and sell the Units other than as set forth in Section 3(a) of this Agreement (each, a “Placement”), it will notify a Manager of the proposed terms of such Placement. If such Manager, acting as principal, wishes to accept such proposed terms (which it may decline to do for any reason in its sole discretion) or, following discussions with the Partnership, wishes to accept amended terms, such Manager and the Partnership will enter into a Terms Agreement setting forth the terms of such Placement.

(ii) The terms set forth in a Terms Agreement will not be binding on the Partnership or such Manager unless and until the Partnership and such Manager have each executed such Terms Agreement accepting all of the terms of such Terms Agreement. In the event of a conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of a Terms Agreement, the terms of such Terms Agreement will control.

(c) (i) Under no circumstances shall the aggregate gross sales proceeds of the Units sold pursuant to this Agreement exceed the dollar amount set forth in Section 1, nor shall the price of the Units so sold exceed the price parameters, if any, authorized by the Board of Directors of the General Partner, or a duly authorized committee thereof.

(ii) If either party has reason to believe that the exemptive provisions set forth in Rule 101(c)(1) of Regulation M under the Exchange Act are not satisfied with respect to the Units, it shall promptly notify the other party and sales of the Units under this Agreement shall be suspended until that or other exemptive provisions have been satisfied in the judgment of each party.

(d) Each sale of the Units shall be made in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or, if applicable, a Terms Agreement.

(e) Subject to the limitations set forth herein and as may be mutually agreed upon by the Partnership and each Manager, sales pursuant to this Agreement may not be requested by the Partnership and need not be made by any Manager except during the period that begins after the filing of a quarterly report on Form 10-Q or an annual report on Form 10-K as of and within the period required by the Exchange Act (or, if earlier, the second Business Day after the date on which all material earnings information reasonably satisfactory to such Manager has been filed (and not merely furnished) on Form 8-K) (each such date, a “Filing Date”) and ends, for all periods, at the end of the quarter in which the applicable Filing Date occurs. Notwithstanding the foregoing, without the prior written consent of each of the Partnership and the applicable Manager, no sales of Units shall take place, and the Partnership shall not request the sale of any Units that would be sold, and each Manager shall not be obligated to sell, during any period in which the Partnership is in possession of material non-public information. As used herein, the term “Business Day” means any day on which the NYSE is open for trading.

(f) If immediately prior to the third anniversary (the “Renewal Deadline”) of the initial effective date of the Registration Statement, any of the Units remain unsold by the Managers, the Partnership will, prior to the Renewal Deadline, file, if it has not already done so and is eligible to do so, a new shelf registration statement relating to the Units, in a form

reasonably satisfactory to the Managers and will use its reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to be declared effective within 180 days after the Renewal Deadline. The Partnership will use its reasonable efforts to take all other action necessary or appropriate to permit the public offering and sale of the Units to continue as contemplated in the expired registration statement. References herein to the Registration Statement shall include such new shelf registration statement.

(u) The Partnership consents to any Manager trading in the Common Units for such Manager’s own account and for the account of its clients at the same time as sales of the Units occur pursuant to this Agreement or pursuant to any Terms Agreement.

(v) If to the knowledge of the Partnership, any condition set forth in Section 6(a) or 6(i) of this Agreement shall not have been satisfied on the applicable Settlement Date, to offer to any person who has agreed to purchase the Units from the Partnership as the result of an offer to purchase solicited by any Manager the right to refuse to purchase and pay for such Units.

(w) To disclose in its quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and in its annual report on Form 10-K the aggregate number of the Units sold through or to the Managers under this Agreement, the Net Proceeds to the Partnership and the compensation paid by the Partnership with respect to sales of the Units pursuant to this Agreement during the relevant period.

(x) At each Time of Sale, Settlement Date and Representation Date, the Partnership shall be deemed to affirm to the Managers (or, in the case of a Representation Date of the type described in Section 4(n)(iii), such Manager) that the representations and warranties of the Partnership contained in or made pursuant to this Agreement are true and correct as of each such date as though made at and as of such date.

SECTION 5. Payment of Expenses. The Partnership agrees with the Managers, whether or not the transactions contemplated hereunder are consummated or this Agreement is terminated, to pay all of its own expenses incurred in connection with the performance of its obligations under this Agreement, and the Partnership will pay, or reimburse if paid by any of the Managers, whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated or this Agreement is terminated, all costs and expenses incident to the performance of the obligations of the Partnership under this Agreement, including those relating to (i) the preparation, printing and filing of the Registration Statement and exhibits thereto, the Base Prospectus, the Prospectus and any amendments or supplements thereto, and the printing and furnishing to the Managers copies of each thereof (including costs of mailing and shipment), this Agreement, any powers of attorney and any closing documents (including compilations thereof), (ii) the issuance, preparation, sale and delivery of the Units, including the costs and expenses of any registrar, transfer agent and any agent thereof, including any reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel therefor and any stock or transfer taxes and stamp and similar duties payable upon the sale, issuance and delivery of the Units to the Managers, (iii) the registration or qualification of the Units for offer and sale under the securities or “blue sky” laws of the various jurisdictions referred to in Section 4(h), including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for the Managers in connection therewith and the preparation and printing of legal investment and preliminary and supplementary “blue sky” memoranda, (iv) the furnishing to the Managers of copies of each Prospectus and any amendments or supplements thereto, and of the several documents required by Section 4(c) to be so furnished, including costs of shipping and mailing, (v) the listing of the Units on the NYSE, (vi) any filing for review of the public offering of the Units by FINRA, including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for the Managers relating to FINRA matters and (vii) all other reasonable out-of-pocket fees and disbursements of the Managers’ counsel (which shall be one outside counsel for all Managers unless otherwise agreed by the Partnership) and the Partnership’s counsel and accountants. The Managers will pay

all of their other own out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with entering into this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including, without limitation, travel, reproduction, printing and similar expenses.

SECTION 6. Conditions of Managers’ Obligations. The obligations of each Manager hereunder with respect to any order submitted by the Partnership to such Manager to sell Units or any agreement by such Manager to purchase Units as principal are subject to (i) the accuracy of the representations and warranties on the part of the Partnership on the date hereof, and as of any Representation Date and any Settlement Date, (ii) the performance by the Partnership of its obligations hereunder and (iii) the following additional conditions precedent:

(b) Since the respective dates as of which information is given in the Prospectus, there shall not have been any change, or any development involving a prospective change, in the partnership interests, capital stock or long-term debt of the Partnership or any of its subsidiaries that would constitute a material adverse change to the Partnership and its subsidiaries taken as a whole, or any material adverse change in the general affairs, management, financial position or results of operations of the Partnership and its subsidiaries taken as a whole, whether or not arising in the ordinary course of business, other than as set forth in or contemplated by the Prospectus, if in the judgment of such Manager any such change makes it impracticable or inadvisable to consummate the sale and delivery of the Units as contemplated in the Prospectus.

(c) The Partnership shall have furnished to such Manager, at each Representation Date, the written opinion of Partnership Counsel, dated as of such date, as specified in Section 4(o).

SECTION 7. Indemnification and Contribution. For purposes of this Section 7, “Prospectus Supplement” shall include any prospectus supplement relating to the Units filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the Rules and Regulations.

(a) The Enterprise Parties will indemnify and hold harmless each Manager, the directors, officers, employees and agents of any Manager and their respective affiliates and each person, if any, who controls such Manager within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, as follows:

(i) against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever (including the reasonable cost of investigation), to which each of the Managers or any such person may become subject with respect to the Units, (A) arising out of or based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement to such documents), or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or (B) resulting from the use of any issuer free writing prospectus (as defined in Rule 433 of the Rules and Regulations) or prospectus, other than the Prospectus, relating to the Units, whether or not filed by the Partnership or on its behalf;

(ii) against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever, as incurred, to the extent of the aggregate amount paid in settlement of any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or of any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission; provided that (subject to Section 7(d) below) any such settlement is effected with the written consent of the Partnership; and

(iii) against any and all expense whatsoever, as incurred (including, subject to Section 7(c) hereof, the fees and disbursements of counsel chosen by the Managers), reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission, to the extent that any such expense is not paid under clause (i) or (ii) above;

provided, however, that the indemnity set forth in this Section 7(a) shall not apply to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense to the extent arising out of any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission contained in the Registration Statement or any Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Partnership by or on behalf of any Manager expressly for use in the Registration Statement or any Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement to such documents).

(b) Each Manager, severally and not jointly, agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Enterprise Party, the directors of the General Partner, the respective officers of the General Partner who signed the Registration Statement, and each person, if any, who controls the Partnership Entities within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense described in the indemnity contained in Section 7(a) (provided that with respect to indemnification of the nature contemplated by Section 7(a)(ii), such indemnification by each Manager for a settlement of any such loss, liability, claim, damage and expense must be effected with the written consent of such Manager), as incurred, but only with respect to any untrue statements or omissions, or alleged untrue statements or omissions, made in the Registration Statement or any Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement to such documents), in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Partnership by or on behalf of such Manager expressly for use in the Registration Statement, the Base Prospectus or any Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement

to such documents). The Enterprise Parties acknowledge that, except as may be agreed in writing between all the parties after the date of this Agreement, the only information furnished in writing by or on behalf of the Managers for inclusion in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, or in any amendment or supplement thereto consists of (i) the names of the Managers and (ii) the thirteenth paragraph under the caption “Plan of Distribution” in the Prospectus, which refers to one of the Managers’ pending merger into its broker-dealer affiliate.

(c) Each indemnified party shall give written notice as promptly as reasonably practicable to each indemnifying party of any action commenced against it in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder, but failure to so notify an indemnifying party shall not relieve such indemnifying party from any liability hereunder to the extent it is not materially prejudiced as a result thereof and in any event shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have otherwise than on account of this indemnity agreement. In the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 7(a) above, counsel to the indemnified parties shall be selected by the Managers, and, in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 7(b) above, counsel to the indemnified parties shall be selected by the Partnership, provided that if it so elects within a reasonable time after receipt of such notice, an indemnifying party, jointly with any other indemnifying parties receiving such notice, may assume the defense of such action with counsel chosen by it and approved by the indemnified parties defendant in such action, unless such indemnified parties reasonably object to such assumption on the ground that there may be legal defenses available to them which are different from or in addition to those available to such indemnifying party. If an indemnifying party assumes the defense of such action, the indemnifying parties shall not be liable for any fees and expenses of counsel for the indemnified parties incurred thereafter in connection with such action; provided, however, that the indemnifying party shall pay the fees and expenses of separate counsel for the indemnified party if (i) the indemnifying party has agreed to pay such fees and expenses or (ii) counsel for the indemnified party reasonably determines that representation of both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party by the same counsel would create a conflict of interest. An indemnifying party may participate at its own expense in the defense of any such action; provided, however, that counsel to the indemnifying party shall not (except with the consent of the indemnified party) also be counsel to the indemnified party. In no event shall the indemnifying parties be liable for fees and expenses of more than one counsel (in addition to any local counsel) separate from their own counsel for all indemnified parties in connection with any one action or separate but similar or related actions arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified parties, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever in respect of which indemnification or contribution could be sought under this Section 7 (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties thereto), unless such settlement, compromise or consent (i) includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability arising out of such litigation, investigation, proceeding or claim and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party.

(d) If at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for reasonable fees and expenses of counsel, such indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of the nature contemplated by

Section 7(a)(ii) effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 45 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request, (ii) such indemnifying party shall have received notice of the terms of such settlement at least 30 days prior to such settlement being entered into and (iii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed such indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, if at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel, an indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of the nature contemplated by Section 7(a)(ii) effected without its consent if such indemnifying party (i) reimburses such indemnified party in accordance with such request to the extent it considers such request to be reasonable and (ii) provides written notice to the indemnified party substantiating the unpaid balance as unreasonable, in each case prior to the date of such settlement.

(e) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 7 is for any reason unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the aggregate amount of such losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses incurred by such indemnified party, as incurred, (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Partnership, on the one hand, and the Managers, on the other hand, from the offering of the Units pursuant to this Agreement or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Partnership, on the one hand, and of any of the Managers, on the other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Partnership, on the one hand, and the Managers, on the other hand, in connection with the offering of the Units pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the total Net Proceeds from the offering of the Units pursuant to this Agreement received by the Partnership, and the total compensation received by the Managers, in each case as provided in Section 3(a)(v), bear to the gross sales price of the Units sold by or through the Managers. The relative fault of the Partnership, on the one hand, and any of the Managers, on the other hand, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any such untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Partnership or by any of the Managers and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Partnership and the Managers agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 7(e) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this Section 7(e). The aggregate amount of losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses incurred by an indemnified party and referred to above in this Section 7(e) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 7(e), the Manager shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the compensation received by it pursuant to this Agreement, as determined in accordance with Section 3(a)(v). No person guilty of fraudulent

misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section 7(e), each person, if any, who controls any Manager within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, shall have the same rights to contribution as such Manager; each director and officer of the General Partner and each person, if any, who controls any of the Partnership Entities within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Partnership.

The obligations of the Partnership under this Section 7(e) shall be in addition to any liability which the Partnership may otherwise have.

SECTION 8. Representations and Agreements to Survive Delivery. The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in Section 7 and the covenants, warranties and representations of the Partnership contained in this Agreement or in certificates delivered pursuant hereto shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any of the Managers, its partners, directors or officers or any person (including each partner, officer or director of such person) who controls such Manager within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, or by or on behalf of the Partnership, its directors or officers or any person who controls the Partnership within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, and shall survive any termination of this Agreement or the issuance and delivery of the Units.

SECTION 9. Termination.

(a) The Partnership shall have the right, by giving written notice as hereinafter specified, to terminate this Agreement in its sole discretion at any time. Any such termination shall be without liability of any party to any other party except that (i) with respect to any pending sale, through any of the Managers for the Partnership, the obligations of the Partnership, including in respect of compensation of the Managers, shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the termination, and (ii) the reimbursement, indemnification and contribution agreements contained in Sections 5 and 7 hereof, the provisions of Sections 8, 10, 11, 12 and 16 hereof, and the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of the Partnership in this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any termination of this Agreement.

(b) Each Manager shall have the right, by giving written notice as hereinafter specified, to terminate its own obligations under the provisions of this Agreement relating to the solicitation of offers to purchase the Units in its sole discretion at any time. Subject to Section 9(a)(ii), any such termination shall have no effect on the obligations of any other Manager under this Agreement and shall be without liability of any party to any other party.

(c) This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect until the earlier of (i) its termination pursuant to Section 9(a) above or the termination of all Managers’ obligations pursuant to Section 9(b) above or otherwise by mutual agreement of the parties or (ii) the sale of all of the Units authorized hereunder; provided that any such termination shall in all cases be deemed to provide that Sections 5, 7 and 8 shall remain in full force and effect, unless otherwise agreed by the parties.

(d) Any termination of this Agreement shall be effective on the date specified in such notice of termination; provided that such termination shall not be effective until the close of business on the date of receipt of such notice by any Manager or the Partnership, as the case may be. If such termination shall occur prior to the Settlement Date for any sale of the Units sold prior to such termination, such sale shall settle in accordance with the provisions of Section 3(a)(vi) of this Agreement.

SECTION 10. Notices. Except as otherwise herein provided, all statements, requests, notices and agreements under this Agreement shall be in writing and delivered by hand, overnight courier, mail or facsimile and, if to each Manager, shall be sufficient in all respects if delivered or sent to:
