This is to confirm the agreement among the Partnership, Enterprise Products OLPGP, Inc., a
Delaware corporation (the “OLPGP”), and Enterprise Products Operating L.P., a Delaware
limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership” and collectively with the Partnership and
the OLPGP, the “Enterprise Parties”) and the Underwriter concerning the purchase of the
Firm Units and the Option Units from the Partnership by the Underwriter.
1. Representations, Warranties and Agreements of the Enterprise Parties. Each of the

Commission a prospectus supplement (the “Prospectus Supplement”) specifically relating to
the Units pursuant to Rule 424 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities
Act”). The registration statement as amended at the date of this underwriting agreement (the
“Agreement”), including information, if any, deemed to be part of the registration
statement at the time of effectiveness pursuant to Rule 430A under the Securities Act, is
hereinafter referred to as the “Registration Statement.” The term “Basic Prospectus” means the
prospectus included in the Registration Statement. The term “Prospectus” means the Basic

date and time the Registration Statement became effective.
(b) Effectiveness. The Registration Statement has become effective under the Securities Act; no
stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement is in effect; and no
proceedings for such purpose are pending before or, to the knowledge of the Enterprise Parties,
threatened by the Commission.
(c) No Material Misstatements or Omissions. The Registration Statement conforms, and any further
amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement will, when they become effective, conform
in all material respects to the requirements of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of
the Commission thereunder (the “Rules and Regulations”) and do not and will not, as of the
applicable effective date, 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

under Rule 424(b) will conform in all material respects to the requirements of the Securities Act
and the Rules and Regulations, and do not or will not include any 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. Each forward-looking
statement (within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange
Act) made by the Partnership in such documents, including (but not limited to) any statements with
respect to future available cash or future cash distributions of the Partnership or the anticipated

for inclusion therein. The Incorporated Documents heretofore filed with the Commission, when they

rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder and did not, as of the time each such document
was filed, contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required

of the General Partner, the respective officers of the General Partner who sign the Registration
Statement, and each person who controls the Enterprise Parties within the meaning of either the
Securities Act or the Exchange Act, to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the
Partnership to the Underwriter, but only with reference to written information relating to the
Underwriter furnished to the Partnership by the Underwriter specifically for inclusion in the
documents referred to in the foregoing indemnity. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to
any liability which the Underwriter may otherwise have. The Enterprise Parties acknowledge that the
statements set forth in the last paragraph of the cover page regarding
20
EXHIBIT 1.1
delivery of the Units and,
under the heading “Underwriting”, (i) the sentences related to concessions and reallowances, (ii)
the paragraphs (including the bullet points contained therein) under the heading “Price
Stabilization and Short Positions,” and (iii) the paragraphs under the heading “Electronic
Distribution” constitute the only information furnished in writing by or on behalf of the
Underwriter for inclusion in the Prospectus.
(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 8 of notice of any claim
or the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to
be made against the indemnifying party under this Section 8, notify the indemnifying party in
writing of the claim or the commencement thereof; but the failure so to notify the indemnifying
party (i) will not relieve it from liability under paragraph (a) or (b) above unless and to the
extent it did not otherwise learn of such action and such failure results in the forfeiture by the
indemnifying party of substantive rights and defenses and (ii) will not, in any event, relieve the
indemnifying party from any obligations to any indemnified party other than the indemnification
obligation provided in paragraph (a) or (b) above. The indemnifying party shall be entitled to
appoint counsel of the indemnifying party’s choice at the indemnifying party’s expense to represent
the indemnified party in any action for which indemnification is sought (in which case the
indemnifying party shall not thereafter be responsible for the reasonable fees, costs and expenses
of any separate counsel retained by the indemnified party or parties except as set forth below);
provided, however, that such counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party.
Notwithstanding the indemnifying party’s election to appoint counsel to represent the indemnified
party in an action, the indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel
(including local counsel), and the indemnifying party shall bear the reasonable fees, costs and
expenses of such separate counsel if (i) the use of counsel chosen by the indemnifying party to
represent the indemnified party would present such counsel with a conflict of interest, (ii) the
actual or potential defendants in, or targets of, any such action include both the indemnified
party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that
there may be legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties which are different
from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, (iii) the indemnifying party shall
not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the
indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of the institution of such action or (iv)
the indemnifying party shall authorize the indemnified party to employ separate counsel at the
expense of the indemnifying party. An indemnifying party will not, without the prior written
consent of the indemnified parties, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment
with respect to any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which
indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified parties are
actual or potential parties to such claim or action) unless such settlement, compromise or consent
includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability arising out of such
claim, action, suit or proceeding.
(d) In the event that the indemnity provided in this Section 8 is unavailable to or
insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party for any reason, the Partnership and the
Underwriter agree to contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including
legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending same)
(collectively, the “Losses”) to which the Partnership and the Underwriter may be subject in
such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Partnership on
the one hand and by the Underwriter on the other from the offering of the Units;
21
EXHIBIT 1.1
provided, however,
that in no case shall (i) the Underwriter be responsible for any amount in excess of the amount by
which the total price at which the Units underwritten by it and distributed to the public were
offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages which the Underwriter has otherwise been
required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged
omission. If the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is unavailable for any
reason, the Partnership and the Underwriter shall contribute in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but
also the relative fault of the Partnership on the one hand and of the Underwriter on the other in
connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such Losses as well as any other
relevant equitable considerations. Benefits received by the Partnership shall be deemed to be equal
to the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by it, and
benefits received by the Underwriter shall be deemed to be equal to the total underwriting
discounts and commissions, in each case as set forth on the cover page of the Prospectus. Relative
fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any untrue or any alleged
untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact
relates to information provided by the Partnership on the one hand or the Underwriter on the other,
the intent of the parties and their relative knowledge, access to information and opportunity to
correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission. The Partnership and the Underwriter agree
that it would not be just and equitable if contribution were determined by pro rata allocation or
any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred
to above. Notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph (d), 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 8, each person who controls the Underwriter within the meaning of either the
Securities Act or the Exchange Act and each director, officer, employee and agent of the
Underwriter shall have the same rights to contribution as the Underwriter, and each person who
controls the Partnership within the meaning of either the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, each
officer of the General Partner who shall have signed the Registration Statement and each director
of the General Partner shall have the same rights to contribution as the Partnership, subject in
each case to the applicable terms and conditions of this paragraph (d).
9. Waiver of Fiduciary Duty. The Partnership hereby acknowledges that the Underwriter
is acting solely as an underwriter in connection with the purchase and sale of the Units. The
Partnership further acknowledges that the Underwriter is acting pursuant to a contractual
relationship created solely by this Agreement entered into on an arm’s length basis and in no event
do the parties intend that the Underwriter acts or be responsible as a fiduciary to any of the
Partnership Entities, their management, unitholders, creditors or any other person in connection
with any activity that the Underwriter may undertake or have undertaken in furtherance of the
purchase and sale of the Units, either before or after the date hereof. The Underwriter hereby
expressly disclaims any fiduciary or similar obligations to any of the Partnership Entities, either
in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any matters leading up to
such transactions, and the Partnership hereby confirms its understanding and agreement to that
effect. The Partnership and the Underwriter agree that they are each responsible for making their
own independent judgments with respect to any such transactions and that any opinions or views
expressed by the Underwriter to any of the Partnership Entities regarding such transactions,
including but not limited to any opinions or
22
EXHIBIT 1.1
views with respect to the price or market for the
Units, do not constitute advice or recommendations to any of the Partnership Entities. The
Partnership hereby waives and releases, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims that the
Partnership may have against the Underwriter with respect to any breach or alleged breach of any
fiduciary or similar duty to any of the Partnership Entities in connection with the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement or any matters leading up to such transactions.
10. Termination. This Agreement shall be subject to termination in the absolute discretion
of the Underwriter, by notice given to the Partnership prior to delivery of and payment for the
Firm Units, if at any time prior to such time (i) trading in the Partnership’s Common Units shall
have been suspended by the Commission or The New York Stock Exchange, (ii) trading in securities
generally on The New York Stock Exchange shall have been suspended, the settlement of such trading
generally shall have been materially disrupted or limited or minimum prices shall have been
established on The New York Stock Exchange, (iii) a banking moratorium shall have been declared
either by Federal or New York State authorities or there shall have occurred a material disruption
in commercial banking or in clearance services in the United States, or (iv) there shall have
occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities, declaration by the United States of a national
emergency or war, or other calamity or crisis the effect of which on financial markets is such as
to make it, in the sole judgment of the Underwriter, impractical or inadvisable to proceed with the
offering or delivery of the Firm Units as contemplated by the Prospectus (exclusive of any
supplement thereto).
11. Reimbursement of Underwriter’s Expenses. If the sale of the Units provided for herein
is not consummated because any condition to the obligations of the Underwriter set forth in Section
7 hereof is not satisfied, because of any termination pursuant to Section 10(i) hereof or because
of any refusal, inability or failure on the part of any Enterprise Party to perform any agreement
herein or comply with any provision hereof other than by reason of a default by the Underwriter,
the Partnership will reimburse the Underwriter on demand for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses
(including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) that shall have been incurred by the
Underwriter in connection with the proposed purchase and sale of the Units.
12. Notices. All statements, requests, notices and agreements hereunder shall be in
writing, and:
(a) if to the Underwriter, shall be delivered or sent by mail or telecopy transmission to UBS
Securities LLC, at 000 Xxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx, 00000;

(c) provided, however, that any notice to the Underwriter pursuant to Section 8(c) shall be
delivered or sent by mail, telex or facsimile transmission to the Underwriter at its address set
forth in its acceptance telex to the Underwriter, which address will be supplied to any other party
hereto by the Underwriter upon request. Any such statements, requests, notices or agreements shall
take effect at the time of receipt thereof.
23
EXHIBIT 1.1
13. Persons Entitled to Benefit of Agreement. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Underwriter, the Enterprise

the sole benefit of only those persons, except as provided in Section 8 with respect to affiliates,

the Operating Partnership and the Underwriter. Nothing in this Agreement is intended or shall be
construed to give any person, other than the persons referred to in this Section 13, any legal or
equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this Agreement or any provision contained
herein.
14. Survival. The respective indemnities, representations, warranties and agreements of the
Enterprise Parties and the Underwriter contained in this Agreement or made by or on behalf on them,
respectively, pursuant to this Agreement or any certificate delivered pursuant hereto, shall
survive the delivery of and payment for the Units and shall remain in full force and effect,
regardless of any termination or cancellation of this Agreement or any investigation made by or on
behalf of any of them or any person controlling any of them. The Underwriter acknowledges and
agrees that the obligations of the Enterprise Parties hereunder are non-recourse to the General
Partner.

Agreement, (a) “business day” means any day on which the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. is open for

arising out of or in any way relating to this Agreement is brought by any third party against the
Underwriter or any indemnified party. Each of the parties (on its behalf and, to the extent
permitted by applicable law, on behalf of its limited partners and affiliates) waives all right to
trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim (whether based upon contract, tort or
otherwise) in any way arising out of or relating to this Agreement. The parties agree that a final
judgment in any such action, proceeding or counterclaim brought in any such court shall be
conclusive and binding upon the parties and may be enforced in any other courts to the jurisdiction
of which the parties is or may be subject, by suit upon such judgment.

equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at
law) and (B) public policy, applicable law relating to fiduciary duties and indemnification and an
implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing.
7. All outstanding Common Units and the limited partner interests represented thereby have been

non-assessable (except as such non-assessability may be affected by Section 17-607 of the Delaware
LP Act and as described in the Prospectus).
8. The Units and the limited partner interests represented thereby have been duly authorized
by the Partnership and, when issued and delivered to the Underwriter against payment therefor in
accordance with the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, will be validly issued, fully paid (to the
extent required under the Partnership Agreement) and non-assessable (except as
A-2
EXHIBIT 1.1
such non-assessability may be affected by Section 17-607 of the Delaware LP Act and as
described in the Prospectus).
9. Except for rights that have been effectively complied with or waived, there are no
preemptive rights or other rights to subscribe for or to purchase, nor any restriction upon the
voting or transfer of, any partnership or membership interests or capital stock in the Enterprise
Parties, in each case pursuant to the organizational documents of such entity. To such counsel’s
knowledge, neither the filing of the Registration Statement nor the offering or sale of the Units
as contemplated by the Underwriting Agreement gives rise to any rights for or relating to the
registration of any Common Units or other securities of the Partnership or any of its subsidiaries,
other than as have been waived.
10. The Partnership has all requisite partnership power and authority to issue, sell and
deliver the Units in accordance with and upon the terms and conditions set forth in the
Underwriting Agreement, the Partnership Agreement, the Registration Statement and Prospectus.
11. The Underwriting Agreement has been duly authorized and validly executed and delivered by
each of the Enterprise Parties.
12. None of (i) the offering, issuance and sale by the Partnership of the Units, (ii) the
execution, delivery and performance of the Underwriting Agreement by the Enterprise Parties, or
(iii) the consummation by the Enterprise Parties of the transactions contemplated thereby (A)
conflicts or will conflict with or constitutes or will constitute a violation of the certificate of
limited partnership or agreement of limited partnership, certificate of formation or limited
liability company agreement, certificate or articles of incorporation or bylaws or other
organizational documents of any of the Enterprise Parties or (B) results or will result in any
violation of the Delaware LP Act, the Delaware LLC Act, the Delaware General Corporation Law (the
“DGCL”), the laws of the State of Texas or federal law; which violations, in the case of
clause (B), would, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the
financial condition, business or results of operations of the Partnership Entities, taken as a
whole or could materially impair the ability of any of the Enterprise Parties to perform its
obligations under the Underwriting Agreement; provided, however, that for purposes of this
paragraph, such counsel expresses no opinion with respect to federal or state securities laws or
other antifraud laws.
13. No permit, consent, approval, authorization, order, registration, filing or qualification
(“consent”) of or with any federal, Delaware or Texas court, governmental agency or body
having jurisdiction over the Partnership Entities or any of their respective properties is required
in connection with (i) the offering, issuance and sale by the Partnership of the Units, (ii) the
execution, delivery and performance of the Underwriting Agreement by the Enterprise Parties or
(iii) the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Underwriting Agreement, except for
such consents required under state securities or “Blue Sky” laws, as to which such counsel need not
express any opinion.
14. The descriptions of the Common Units that are included in the Prospectus under the caption
“Description of Our Common Units” or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement,
insofar as such descriptions constitute a description of agreements or refer to
A-3
EXHIBIT 1.1
statements of law or legal conclusions, are accurate and complete in all material respects,
and the Common Units conform in all material respects to such descriptions; and the statements that
are included in the Prospectus under the captions “Cash Distribution Policy,” “Description of Our
Partnership Agreement,” and “Tax Consequences” or incorporated by reference in the Registration
Statement, insofar as they constitute a description of contracts or legal proceedings or refer to
statements of law or legal conclusions, are accurate and complete in all material respects.
15. The opinion of Xxxxxx & Xxxxxx L.L.P. that is filed as Exhibit 8.1 to the Registration
Statement is confirmed and the Underwriter may rely upon such opinion as if it were addressed to
them.
16. The Registration Statement was declared effective under the Securities Act on March 23,
2005; to the knowledge of such counsel, no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the
Registration Statement has been issued and no proceedings for that purpose have been instituted or
threatened by the Commission; and any required filing of the Prospectus pursuant to Rule 424(b) has
been made in the manner and within the time period required by such Rule.
17. The Registration Statement and the Prospectus (except for the financial statements and the
notes and the schedules thereto and the other financial and statistical information included in the
Registration Statement or the Prospectus, as to which such counsel need not express any opinion)
appeared on their face to comply as to form in all material respects with the requirements of the
Securities Act, the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.
18. None of the Partnership Entities is (i) an “investment company” as such term is defined in
the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or (ii) a “public utility holding company” or
“holding company” within the meaning of the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935, as amended.
In addition, such counsel shall state that they have participated in conferences with officers

financial, statistical or reserve information included or incorporated by reference therein, as to
which such counsel need not comment), as of its effective date contained an untrue statement of a

make the statements therein not misleading, or that the Prospectus (other than (i) the financial
statements included or incorporated by reference therein, including the notes and schedules thereto
and the auditors’ reports thereon, and (ii) the other financial, statistical or reserve information
included or incorporated by reference therein, as to which such counsel need

not comment), as of its issue date and the Delivery Date contained an untrue statement of a
material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the
light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
In rendering such opinion, such counsel may (A) rely in respect of matters of fact upon
certificates of officers and employees for the Partnership Entities and upon information obtained
from public officials, (B) assume that all documents submitted to them as originals are authentic,
that all copies submitted to them conform to the originals thereof, and that the signatures on all

opinions are based solely on certificates of foreign qualification or registration for each such
entity provided by the Secretaries of State of states listed on Annex 1 hereto under its name, and
(E) state that such counsel expresses no opinion with respect to (i) any permits to own or operate
any real or personal property or (ii) state or local taxes or tax statutes to which any of the

FORM OF GENERAL COUNSEL’S OPINION
1. Each of the Partnership Entities (other than the Enterprise Parties) and GTMGP has been
duly formed or incorporated, as the case may be, and is validly existing and in good standing under
the laws of its respective jurisdiction of formation with all necessary corporate, limited
liability company or limited partnership, as the case may be, power and authority to own or lease
its properties and conduct its business and, in the case of GTMGP, to act as general partner of
GTMLP, in each case in all material respects as described in the Registration Statement and the
Prospectus. Each of the Partnership Entities (other than the Enterprise Parties) and GTMGP is duly
registered or qualified as a foreign corporation, limited partnership or limited liability company,
as the case may be, for the transaction of business under the laws of each jurisdiction in which
its ownership or lease of property or the conduct of its businesses requires such qualification or
registration, except where the failure to so qualify or register would not, individually or in the
aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.
2. All of the outstanding shares of capital stock, partnership interests or membership
interests, as the case may be, of each of the Partnership Entities (other than the Enterprise
Parties, GTMLP and GTMGP) have been duly and validly authorized and issued, are fully paid and
non-assessable, except that, for each of the Partnership Entities (other than the Enterprise
Parties) of which the Operating Partnership owns 50% or less of the outstanding capital stock,
partnership interests or membership interests, as the case may be, this opinion is limited to the
ownership interest set forth on Schedule III of the Underwriting Agreement. Except as described in
the Prospectus, the Operating Partnership and/or the Partnership, as the case may be, directly or
indirectly, owns the shares of capital stock, partnership interests or membership interests, as
applicable, in each of the Partnership Entities (other than the Enterprise Parties, GTMLP and
GTMGP) as set forth on Schedule III, free and clear of any lien, charge, encumbrance, security
interest, restriction upon voting or any other claim.
3. Enterprise GTM, LLC owns 100% of the issued and outstanding membership interests in GTMGP;
such membership interest has been duly authorized and validly issued in accordance with the GTMGP
LLC Agreement; and Enterprise GTM owns such membership interest free and clear of all liens,
encumbrances, security interests, equities, charges or claims.
4. (i) GTMGP is the sole general partner of GTMLP with a 1.0% general partner interest in
GTMLP; such general partner interest has been duly authorized and validly issued in accordance with
GTMLP Partnership Agreement; and GTMGP owns such general partner interest free and clear of all
liens, encumbrances, security interests, equities, charges or claims; and (ii) the Operating
Partnership is the sole limited partner of GTMLP with a 99.0% limited partner interest in GTMLP;
such limited partner interest has been duly authorized and validly issued in accordance with GTMLP
Partnership Agreement and is fully paid (to the extent required under GTMLP Partnership Agreement)
and non-assessable (except as such non-assessability may be affected by Section 17-607 of the
Delaware LP Act) and as otherwise described in the Prospectus); and the Operating Partnership owns
such limited partner interest free and clear of all liens, encumbrances, security interests,
equities, charges or claims.
B-1
EXHIBIT 1.1
5. Except as described in the Prospectus and for rights that have been waived, there are no
preemptive rights or other rights to subscribe for or to purchase, nor any restriction upon the
voting or transfer of, any capital stock or partnership or membership interests or capital stock
(a) in the Partnership Entities (other than the Enterprise Parties), in each case, pursuant to the
organizational documents of any such entity or (b) in the Partnership Entities pursuant to any
agreement or other instrument known to such counsel to which any of them is a party or by which any
of them may be bound (other than the organizational documents of such entity). To such counsel’s
knowledge, neither the filing of the Registration Statement nor the offering or sale of the Units
as contemplated by the Underwriting Agreement gives rise to any rights for or relating to the
registration of any Common Units or other securities of the Partnership or any of its subsidiaries,
other than as have been waived. To such counsel’s knowledge, except for options granted pursuant to
employee benefits plans, qualified unit option plans or other employee compensation plans and the
Partnership’s DRIP, there are no outstanding options or warrants to purchase any partnership or
membership interests or capital stock in any Partnership Entity.
6. Each of the Enterprise Parties has all requisite right, power and authority to execute and
deliver the Underwriting Agreement and to perform its respective obligations thereunder. The
Partnership has all requisite partnership power and authority to issue, sell and deliver the Firm
Units in accordance with and upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Underwriting Agreement,
the Partnership Agreement, the Registration Statement and Prospectus. All action required to be
taken by the Enterprise Parties or any of their security holders, partners or members for (i) the
due and proper authorization, execution and delivery of this Agreement, (ii) the authorization,
issuance, sale and delivery of the Units and (iii) the consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby has been duly and validly taken.
7. None of (i) the offering, issuance and sale by the Partnership of the Units, (ii) the
execution, delivery and performance of the Underwriting Agreement by the Enterprise Parties, or
(iii) the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby (A) conflicts or will conflict with
or constitutes or will constitute a violation of the certificate of limited partnership or
agreement of limited partnership, certificate of formation or limited liability company agreement,
certificate or articles of incorporation or bylaws or other organizational documents of any of the
Partnership Entities (other than the Enterprise Parties), (B) conflicts or will conflict with or
constitutes or will constitute a breach or violation of, or a default (or an event that, with
notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute such a default) under, any indenture, mortgage,
deed of trust, loan agreement, lease or other agreement or instrument known to such counsel to
which any of the Partnership Entities is a party or by which any of them or any of their respective
properties may be bound, or (C) will result, to the knowledge of such counsel, in any violation of
any judgment, order, decree, injunction, rule or regulation of any court, arbitrator or
governmental agency or body having jurisdiction over any of the Partnership Entities or any of
their assets or properties, or (D) results or will result in the creation or imposition of any
lien, charge or encumbrance upon any property or assets of any of the Partnership Entities, which
conflicts, breaches, violations, defaults or liens, in the case of clauses (B), (C) or (D), would,
individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the financial condition,
business or results of operations of the Partnership Entities, taken as a whole, or could
materially impair the ability of any of the Enterprise Parties to perform its obligations under the
Underwriting Agreement.
B-2
EXHIBIT 1.1
8. To the knowledge of such counsel, (a) there is no legal or governmental proceeding pending
or threatened to which any of the Partnership Entities is a party or to which any of their
respective properties is subject that is required to be disclosed in the Registration Statement or
the Prospectus and is not so disclosed and (b) there are no agreements, contracts or other
documents to which any of the Partnership Entities is a party that are required to be described in
the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or to be filed as exhibits to the Registration
Statement that are not described or filed as required.
In addition, such counsel shall state that he has participated in conferences with officers
and other representatives of the Partnership Entities and the independent public accountants of the
General Partner and the Partnership and your representatives, at which the contents of the
Registration Statement and the Prospectus and related matters were discussed, and although such
counsel has not independently verified, is not passing on, and is not assuming any responsibility
for the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the statements contained in, the Registration
Statement and the Prospectus (except to the extent specified in the foregoing opinion), no facts
have come to such counsel’s attention that lead such counsel to believe that the Registration
Statement (other than (i) the financial statements included or incorporated by reference therein,
including the notes and schedules thereto and the auditors’ reports thereon, and (ii) the other
financial, statistical or reserve information included or incorporated by reference therein, as to
which such counsel need not comment), as of its effective date contained an untrue statement of a
material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to
make the statements therein not misleading, or that the Prospectus (other than (i) the financial
statements included or incorporated by reference therein, including the notes and schedules thereto
and the auditors’ reports thereon, and (ii) the other financial, statistical or reserve information
included or incorporated by reference therein, as to which such counsel need not comment), as of
its issue date and the Delivery Date contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to
state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances
under which they were made, not misleading.
In rendering such opinion, such counsel may (A) rely on certificates of officers and
representatives of the Partnership Entities and upon information obtained from public officials,
(B) assume that all documents submitted to him as originals are authentic, that all copies
submitted to him conform to the originals thereof, and that the signatures on all documents
examined by him are genuine, (C) state that his opinion is limited to federal laws, the Delaware LP

ownership of capital stock, partnership interests and membership interests, or with respect to the
accuracy or descriptions of real or personal property or (iii) state or local taxes or tax statutes
to which any of the limited partners of the Partnership or any of the Partnership Entities may be
subject.

UBS Securities LLC

Xxx Xxxx, XX 00000
Dear Sirs:
The undersigned understands that you propose to enter into an Underwriting Agreement (the
“Underwriting Agreement”) with the Enterprise Parties providing for the purchase by you of
common units, each representing a limited partner interest (the “Units”) in the
Partnership, and that you propose to reoffer the Units to the public (the “Offering”).
Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings given to them in the Underwriting
Agreement.
In consideration of the execution of the Underwriting Agreement by you, and for other good and
valuable consideration, the undersigned hereby irrevocably agrees that, without your prior written
consent, the undersigned will not, directly or indirectly, (1) offer for sale, sell, pledge or
otherwise dispose of (or enter into any transaction or device that is designed to, or could be
expected to, result in the disposition by any person at any time in the future of) any Common Units
(including, without limitation, Common Units that may be deemed to be beneficially owned by the
undersigned in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission
and Common Units that may be issued upon exercise of any option or warrant) or securities
convertible into or exchangeable for Common Units owned by the undersigned on the date of execution
of this Lock-up Letter Agreement or on the date of the completion of the Offering, or (2) enter
into any swap or other derivatives transaction that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any
of the economic benefits or risks of ownership of such Common Units, whether any such transaction
described in clause (1) or (2) above is to be settled by delivery of Common Units or other
securities, in cash or otherwise, in each case for a period of 45 days from the date of the
Prospectus; provided, however, that with respect to the undersigned, the foregoing restrictions do
not apply to sales pursuant to “cashless-broker” exercises of options for Common Units in
accordance with the Partnership’s benefit plans as consideration for the exercise price and
withholding taxes applicable to such exercises.
In furtherance of the foregoing, the Partnership and its Transfer Agent are hereby authorized
to decline to make any transfer of securities if such transfer would constitute a violation or
breach of this Lock-Up Letter Agreement.
It is understood that, if the Partnership notifies you that it does not intend to proceed with
the Offering, if the Underwriting Agreement does not become effective, or if the Underwriting
Agreement (other than the provisions thereof that survive termination) shall terminate or be
terminated prior to payment for and delivery of the Units, the undersigned will be released from
his obligations under this Lock-Up Letter Agreement.
C-1
EXHIBIT 1.1
The undersigned understands that the Partnership and you will proceed with the Offering in
reliance on this Lock-Up Letter Agreement.
Whether or not the Offering actually occurs depends on a number of factors, including market
conditions. Any Offering will only be made pursuant to an Underwriting Agreement, the terms of
which are subject to negotiation between the Partnership and you.
The undersigned hereby represents and warrants that the undersigned has full power and
authority to enter into this Lock-Up Letter Agreement and that, upon request, the undersigned will
execute any additional documents necessary in connection with the enforcement hereof. Any
obligations of the undersigned shall be binding upon the [heirs and personal representatives] (for
individuals) [successors and assigns] (for nonnatural persons) of the undersigned.
Yours very truly, | |||||
