Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On September 30, 2004, GulfTerra Energy Partners, L.P. (“GulfTerra”) merged with a subsidiary of Enterprise Products Partners L.P. (“Enterprise”). In connection with this merger, Enterprise and GulfTerra executed an agreement with Mr. Heijermans (who was elected Senior Vice President of Enterprise on the effective date of the merger), pursuant to which the parties agreed that, upon the effective date of the merger, (i) Mr. Heijermans’ 15,000 outstanding restricted GulfTerra common units would be converted into 27,150 restricted Enterprise common units that carry the same restrictions as those set forth for such units in his award agreement dated August 15, 2003 under GulfTerra’s 1998 Omnibus Compensation Plan (the “GulfTerra Plan”), and (ii) Mr. Heijermans’ 15,000 performance-based restricted GulfTerra common units would be exchanged for 27,150 phantom Enterprise common units issued under Enterprise’s 1998 Long-Term Incentive Plan that would carry the same restrictions as those set forth for such exchanged units in the GulfTerra Plan.
The restricted Enterprise common units will cliff vest on June 1, 2007, provided Mr. Heijermans remains continuously employed by Enterprise or its affiliates until such date. The restrictions on the phantom Enterprise common units will lapse on June 1, 2007, provided the total cash flow (or “EBITDA”) from the Marco Polo Platform and Export Pipelines Project since startup equals or exceeds EBITDA of $180 million (the “Target EBITDA”) and that he remains continuously employed by Enterprise or its affiliates until such date. If on June 1, 2007, the total EBITDA for such project is equal to or greater than 75% of the Target EBITDA, the restrictions will lapse on a total number of phantom Enterprise common units equal to the percentage (not to exceed 100%) of the Target EBITDA achieved, with any remaining phantom Enterprise common units being forfeited.

Senior Vice President, Offshore
| Re: | Effect of the GulfTerra Energy Partners, L.P. (“GTM”)/ Enterprise Products Partners L.P. (“EPD”) merger on your GTM restricted units and performance-based restricted units |
Dear Bart:
Pursuant to the award agreement dated August 15, 2003 (your “Award Agreement”), GTM granted you a special award of 15,000 restricted units and 15,000 performance-based restricted units under the 1998 Omnibus Compensation Plan (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified, the “GTM Plan”). This letter (this “Letter Agreement”) confirms our arrangement with respect to those units and how they will be treated upon and after the closing of the merger between GTM and EPD. Each GTM restricted unit and GTM performance-based restricted unit will, at the closing of the merger, be exchanged for 1.81 comparable EPD awards, or 27,150 EPD restricted units and 27,150 EPD phantom units. Although the GTM Plan will terminate upon the closing of the merger, the EPD restricted units and EPD phantom units will be subject to the same restrictions and entitlements as those contained in the GTM Plan (as though it had not been terminated and with the substitution of EPD for GTM as the “Company” therein and of EPD’s general partner as the “General Partner” therein) and this Letter Agreement. The EPD phantom units will be granted under the Enterprise Products 1998 Long-Term Incentive Plan (“EPD Plan”). If the merger does not close, this Letter Agreement will terminate, and your Award Agreement and the GTM Plan will remain in effect.
EPD RESTRICTED UNITS
The EPD restricted units will cliff vest on June 1, 2007, provided you remain continuously employed by EPD or its affiliates until such date. As discussed above, these EPD restricted units will be subject to the same restrictions set forth in the GTM Plan, including prohibitions against transfer and resale. During the restriction period, as is true with respect to your GTM restricted units, you may vote your EPD restricted units and will receive any distributions on those EPD restricted units.
EPD PHANTOM UNITS
The restrictions on the EPD phantom units will lapse on June 1, 2007, provided that the total cash flow (EBITDA) from the Marco Polo Platform and Export Pipelines Project equals or exceeds
- 1 -
the Target EBITDA, and that you remain continuously employed by EPD or its affiliates until such date. The Target EBITDA is $180MM and will be measured from start-up through June 1, 2007.
If on June 1, 2007, the total EBITDA is greater than or equal to 75% of the Target EBITDA, the restrictions will lapse on a total number of EPD phantom units equal to the percentage (not to exceed 100%) of the Target EBITDA achieved (as long as equal to or greater than 75%), with any remaining EPD phantom units forfeited. If the total EBITDA is less than 75% of the Target EBITDA on such date, then all of the EPD phantom units will be forfeited. EPD phantom units that become vested may be paid in EPD common units, cash or any combination thereof under the terms of the EPD Plan, as determined by the EPD Plan’s committee
As discussed above, these EPD performance-based restricted phantom units will be subject to the same restrictions set forth in the GTM Plan, including prohibitions against transfer and resale. During the restriction period, you may not vote your EPD phantom units nor will you receive any distributions on those EPD phantom units.
