Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
     As previously disclosed, on August 27, 2007, Enterprise Products Partners L.P. (the “Partnership”), Enterprise Products OLPGP, Inc. (“OLPGP”) and Enterprise Products Operating LLC (the “Operating Company”) entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Banc of America Securities LLC and Greenwich Capital Markets, Inc., as representatives of the several underwriters named on Schedule I thereto, relating to the public offering of $800,000,000 principal amount of the Operating Company’s 6.300% Senior Notes due 2017 (the “Notes”). The Notes are guaranteed on an unsecured and unsubordinated basis by the Partnership.
Indenture, Supplemental Indenture and Notes
     On September 4, 2007, the Operating Company completed the underwritten public offering (the “Offering”) of the Notes. The Partnership and the Operating Company registered the sale of the Notes with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (Registration Nos. 333-145709 and 333-145709-01) (the “Registration Statement”) filed on August 27, 2007. The net proceeds from the Offering of approximately $793.9 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and other offering expenses, were used to temporarily reduce borrowings outstanding under the Operating Company’s multi-year revolving credit facility, which will later be used to repay all $500.0 million aggregate principal amount outstanding under the Operating Company’s Senior Notes E, 4.000% fixed-rate, due October 2007, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon, and for general partnership purposes.
     The terms of the Notes are governed by the Indenture, dated as of October 24, 2004 (the “Indenture”), among Enterprise Products Operating L.P., as issuer, the Partnership, as parent guarantor, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”), as amended and supplemented by the Tenth Supplemental Indenture dated as of June 30, 2007 (the “Tenth Supplemental Indenture”), providing for the Operating Company as the successor issuer, and the Eleventh Supplemental Indenture, dated as of September 4, 2007, among the Operating Company, the Partnership and the Trustee (the “Eleventh Supplemental Indenture”).
     The Indenture, the Tenth Supplemental Indenture and the Eleventh Supplemental Indenture are filed herewith as Exhibit 4.1, Exhibit 4.2 and Exhibit 4.3, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference. The form of the Notes is filed herewith as Exhibit 4.4 and is incorporated herein by reference.
     A summary of certain terms of the Notes, the Indenture and the Eleventh Supplemental Indenture is included under the headings “Description of the Notes” (pages S-21 through S-25) and “Description of Debt Securities” (pages 3 through 16) in the prospectus supplement, dated August 27, 2007 (the “Prospectus Supplement”), filed by the Partnership and the Operating Company with the Commission on August 28, 2007. The foregoing sections of the Prospectus Supplement are filed herewith as Exhibit 99.1 and are incorporated herein by reference. The description of the Notes is qualified in its entirety by the provisions of the Indenture, the Tenth Supplemental Indenture and the Eleventh Supplemental Indenture.
Relationships
     Certain affiliates of the Underwriters are lenders under the Operating Company’s multi-year revolving credit facility, which was temporarily paid off with a portion of the net proceeds of the Offering. In addition, in the ordinary course of their business, certain of the Underwriters and their affiliates have performed investment banking, commercial banking and advisory services for the Operating Company and may in the future engage in transactions with and perform similar services for the Operating Company.
Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
     The information included under “Indenture, Supplemental Indenture and Notes” in Item 1.01 above is incorporated herein by reference.
