The Company shall, and shall cause EPE to, (i) pay their respective obligations and liabilities from their respective own funds (whether on hand or borrowed), (ii) maintain adequate capital in light of their respective business operations, (iii) not guarantee or become obligated for the debts of any other Person, other than the Company and EPE, but including EPD and EPGP, (iv) not hold out their respective credit as being available to satisfy the obligations or liabilities of any other Person, (v) not acquire debt obligations or debt securities of EPCO or its Affiliates (other than EPE and/or the Company), (vi) not pledge their assets for the benefit of any Person or make loans or advances to any Person, or (vii) use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the operative documents under which EPE borrows money, is an issuer of debt securities, or guarantees any such borrowing or issuance after the Effective Date, to contain provisions to the effect that (A) the lenders or purchasers of debt securities, respectively, acknowledge that they have advanced funds or purchased debt securities, respectively, in reliance upon the separateness of the Company and EPE from each other and from any other Persons (including EPCO and its Affiliates, other than the Company and EPE) and (B) the Company and EPE have assets and liabilities that are separate from those of other persons (including EPCO and its Affiliates, other than the Company and EPE); provided that the Company and EPE may engage in any transaction described in clauses (v)-(vi) of this Section 2.07(e) if prior Special Approval has been obtained for such transaction and either (A) the Audit and Conflicts Committee has determined that the borrower or recipient of the credit support is not then insolvent and will not be rendered insolvent as a result of such transaction or (B) in the case of transactions described in clause (v), such transaction is completed through a public auction or a National Securities Exchange.

Each material contract between the Company or EPE, on the one hand, and EPCO or Affiliates of EPCO (other than the Company or EPE), on the other hand, shall be subject to the requirements of Section 7.9 of the EPE Agreement, and must be (x) approved by Special Approval or (y) on terms objectively demonstrable to be no less favorable to EPE than those generally being provided to or available from unrelated third parties, and in any event must be in writing.

ARTICLE 3
MATTERS RELATING TO MEMBERS

3.01 Members. DDLLC has previously been admitted as a Member of the Company.

3.02 Creation of Additional Membership Interest. The Company may issue additional Membership Interests in the Company pursuant to this Section 3.02. The terms of admission or issuance may provide for the creation of different classes or groups of Members having different rights, powers, and duties. The creation of any

new class or group of Members approved as required herein may be reflected in an amendment to this Agreement executed in accordance with Section 13.04 indicating the different rights, powers, and duties thereof. Any such admission is effective only after the new Member has executed and delivered to the Members an instrument containing the notice address of the new Member and the new Member’s ratification of this Agreement and agreement to be bound by it.

3.03 Liability to Third Parties. No Member or beneficial owner of any Membership Interest shall be liable for the Liabilities of the Company.

(b) The amount of money and the fair market value (as of the date of contribution) of any property (other than money) contributed to the Company by a Member in respect of the issuance of a Membership Interest to such Member shall constitute a “Capital Contribution.” Any reference in this Agreement to the Capital Contribution of a Member shall include a Capital Contribution of its predecessors in interest.

4.02 Loans. If the Company does not have sufficient cash to pay its obligations, any Member that may agree to do so may, upon Special Approval, advance all or part of the needed funds for such obligation to or on behalf of the Company.

Vacancies and newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the authorized number of Directors or from any other cause shall be filled by DDLLC. Any Director may be removed, with or without cause, by DDLLC at any time, and the vacancy in the Board caused by any such removal shall be filled by DDLLC.

(v) without obtaining Special Approval, the Company shall not, and shall not take any action to cause EPE to, (1) make or consent to a general assignment for the benefit of its respective creditors; (2) file or consent to the filing of any bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization petition for relief under the United States Bankruptcy Code naming the Company or EPE, as applicable, or otherwise seek, with respect to the Company or EPE, relief from debts or protection from creditors generally; (3) file or consent to the filing of a petition or answer seeking for the Company or EPE, as applicable, a liquidation, dissolution, arrangement, or similar relief under any law; (4) file an answer or other pleading admitting or failing to contest the material allegations of a petition filed against the Company or EPE, as applicable, in a proceeding of the type described in any of clauses (1) — (3) of this Section 6.02(c)(v); (5) seek, consent to or acquiesce in the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, conservator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator, custodian or any similar official for the Company or EPE, as applicable, or for all or any substantial portion of either entity’s properties; (6) sell all or substantially all of the Company’s or EPE’s assets, except in the case of EPE, in accordance with Section 7.3 of the EPE Agreement; (7) dissolve or liquidate, except in the case of EPE, in accordance with Article XII of the EPE Agreement; or (8) merge or consolidate, except in the case of EPE, in accordance with Article XIV of the EPE Agreement.

(d) Meetings. Regular meetings of the Board of Directors shall be held at such times and places as shall be designated from time to time by resolution of the Board of Directors. Special meetings of the Board of Directors or meetings of any committee thereof may be called by written request authorized by any member of the Board of Directors or a committee thereof on at least 48 hours prior written notice to the other members of such

Board or committee. Any such notice, or waiver thereof, need not state the purpose of such meeting, except as may otherwise be required by law. Attendance of a Director at a meeting (including pursuant to the last sentence of this Section 6.02(d)) shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except where such Director attends the meeting for the express purpose of objecting to the transaction of any business on the ground that the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. Subject to Article 11, any action required or permitted to be taken at a meeting of the Board of Directors or any committee thereof may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote if a consent or consents in writing, setting forth the action so taken, are signed by at least as many members of the Board of Directors or committee thereof as would have been required to take such action at a meeting of the Board of Directors or such committee. Members of the Board of Directors or any committee thereof may participate in and hold a meeting by means of conference telephone, video conference or similar communications equipment by means of which all Persons participating in the meeting can hear each other, and participation in such meetings shall constitute presence in person at the meeting.

(e) Committees.

(i) Subject to compliance with this Article 6, committees of the Board of Directors shall have and may exercise such of the powers and authority of the Board of Directors with respect to the management of the business and affairs of the Company as may be provided in a resolution of the Board of Directors. Any committee designated pursuant to this Section 6.02(e) shall choose its own chairman, shall keep regular minutes of its proceedings and report the same to the Board of Directors when requested, and, subject to Section 6.02(d), shall fix its own rules or procedures and shall meet at such times and at such place or places as may be provided by such rules or by resolution of such committee or resolution of the Board of Directors. At every meeting of any such committee, the presence of a majority of all the members thereof shall constitute a quorum and the affirmative vote of a majority of the members present shall be necessary for the adoption by it of any resolution (except for obtaining Special Approval at meetings of the Audit and Conflicts Committee, which requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the members of such committee). 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 such committee; provided, however, that any such designated alternate of the Audit and Conflicts Committee must meet the standards for an Independent Director. In the absence or disqualification of a member of a committee, the member or members present at any meeting and not disqualified from voting, whether or not constituting a quorum, may unanimously appoint another member of the Board of Directors to act at the meeting in the place of the absent or disqualified member; provided, however, that any such replacement member of the Audit and Conflicts Committee must meet the standards for an Independent Director.

(ii) In addition to any other committees established by the Board of Directors pursuant to Section 6.02(e)(i), the Board of Directors shall maintain an Audit and Conflicts Committee. The Audit and Conflicts Committee shall be responsible for (A) approving or disapproving, as the case may be, any matters regarding the business and affairs of the Company and EPE required to be considered by, or submitted to, such Audit and Conflicts Committee pursuant to the terms of the EPE Agreement, (B) assisting the Board in monitoring (1) the integrity of EPE’s and the Company’s financial statements, (2) the qualifications and independence of EPE’s and the Company’s independent accountants, (3) the performance of EPE’s and the Company’s internal audit function and independent accountants, and (4) EPE’s and the Company’s compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, (C) preparing the report required by the rules of the SEC to be included in EPE’s annual report on Form 10-K, (D) approving any material amendments to the Administrative Services Agreement, (E) approving or disapproving, as the case may be, the entering into of any transaction with a Member or any Affiliate of a Member, other than transactions in the ordinary course of business, to the extent that the Board of Directors requests the Audit and Conflicts Committee to make such determination, (F) approving any of the actions described in Section 6.01(a) — (g) and Section 6.02(c)(v) to be taken on behalf of the Company or EPE, (G) amending (1) Section 2.07, (2) the definition of “Independent Director” in Section 6.02(a), (3) the requirement that at least three directors be Independent Directors, (4) Sections 6.01(a) — (g) or 6.02 (c)(v) or (6) this Section 6.02(e)(ii), and (H) performing such other functions as the Board may assign from time to time, or as may be specified in the charter of the Audit and Conflicts Committee. In acting or otherwise voting on the matters referred to in this Section 6.02(e)(ii), to the fullest extent permitted by law, including Section 18-1101(c) of the Act and Section 17-1101(c) of the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act, as amended from time to time, the Directors constituting the Audit and Conflicts Committee shall be subject to the requirements of Section 7.9 of the EPE Agreement and, when acting (or refraining from acting) in accordance with those requirements, any action (or inaction) taken (or omitted) by the

(c) The indemnification provided by this Section 6.06 shall be in addition to any other rights to which an Indemnitee may be entitled under any agreement, as a matter of law or otherwise, both as to actions in the Indemnitee’s capacity as (i) a present or former member of the Board of Directors or any committee thereof, (ii) a present or former Member, (iii) a present or former Officer of the Company, or (iv) a Person serving at the request of the Company in another entity in a similar capacity as that referred to in the immediately preceding clauses (i) or (iii), and as to actions in any other capacity, and shall continue as to an Indemnitee who has ceased to serve in such capacity and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, successors, assigns and administrators of the Indemnitee.

(j) THE PROVISIONS OF THE INDEMNIFICATION PROVIDED IN THIS SECTION 6.06 ARE INTENDED BY THE PARTIES TO APPLY EVEN IF SUCH PROVISIONS HAVE THE EFFECT OF EXCULPATING THE INDEMNITEE FROM LEGAL RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE CONSEQUENCES OF SUCH PERSON’S NEGLIGENCE, FAULT OR OTHER CONDUCT.

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.
