     Enterprise Products Company (formerly EPCO, Inc.) (the “Company”) is pleased to inform you
that you have been granted the number of Restricted Units set forth above under the Enterprise
Products Company 2005 EPE Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). A Restricted Unit is a Common Unit
of Enterprise GP Holdings L.P. (the “Partnership”) that is subject to the forfeiture and
non-transferability provisions set forth below in this Agreement (the “Restrictions”). The terms of
the grant are as follows:



     1. The Restricted Units granted by this Restricted Unit Grant (such granted Restricted Units
being herein referred to, individually, as a “Restricted Unit” and, collectively or in any
combination, as the “Restricted Units”) shall become fully vested, i.e., not restricted, in
accordance with the schedule set forth in the table below (the dates in such table being referred
to as “Vesting Dates”); provided however, that (notwithstanding the foregoing) one hundred percent
(100%) of any Restricted Units that have not previously vested shall vest on the first day of the
first Qualified Month (as defined in Section 4 below) after the occurrence of a Qualifying
Termination (as defined in Section 4 below).



	 	 	 
	Vesting Dates:

	 	Restricted Units Originally Granted
 Under this Grant Being Vested:






     In the event your status as an employee of the Company or any of its Affiliates (collectively,
the “Affiliated Group”) is terminated prior to a particular Vesting Date for any reason other than
a Qualifying Termination, the Restricted Units that have not yet vested as of such Vesting Date
shall automatically and immediately be forfeited and cancelled without payment on the date of such
termination.



     2. The Restricted Units will be evidenced, at the sole option and in the sole discretion of
the Partnership, either (i) in book-entry form in your name in the Common Unit register of the
Partnership maintained by the Partnership’s transfer agent or (ii) a unit certificate issued in
your name. You shall have voting rights and shall be entitled to receive all distributions made by
the Partnership on such Restricted Units free and clear of any Restrictions. If the Restricted
Units are evidenced by a certificate, the certificate shall bear the following legend:



     The Units evidenced by this certificate have been issued pursuant to an agreement made as of
                    
20___, a copy of which is attached hereto and incorporated herein, between the Company
and the registered holder of the Units, and are subject to forfeiture to the Company under certain
circumstances described in such agreement. The sale, assignment, pledge or other transfer of the
shares of Units evidenced by this certificate is prohibited under the terms and conditions of such
agreement, and such Units may not be sold, assigned, pledged or otherwise transferred except as
provided in such agreement.

     The Company may cause the certificate to be delivered upon issuance to the Secretary of the
Company as a depository for safekeeping until the forfeiture occurs or the Restrictions lapse
pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Upon request of the Company, you shall deliver to the
Company a unit power, endorsed in blank, relating to the Restricted Units then subject to the
Restrictions. Upon any lapse of the Restrictions without forfeiture, the Company shall, upon your
request, cause a certificate or certificates to be issued without legend in your name evidencing
the Restricted Units that have vested.



     3. None of the Restricted Units are transferable (by operation of law or otherwise) by you,
other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. If, in the event of your divorce, legal
separation or other dissolution of your marriage, your former spouse is awarded ownership of, or an
interest in, all or part of any Restricted Units granted hereby to you that have not yet vested
(the “Awarded Restricted Units”), the Awarded Restricted Units shall automatically and immediately
be forfeited and cancelled without payment on such date.



     4. As used herein, the following capitalized terms have the following meanings:



     “Qualified Month” means a calendar month during which the Partnership pays a cash distribution
to holders of its Common Units.



     “Qualifying Termination” means:



     (a) your status as an employee of any Affiliated Group member is terminated due to your (i)
death or (ii) receiving long-term disability benefits under the applicable Affiliated Group
member’s long-term disability plan, provided such disability qualifies as a “disability” under
Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Section 409A”); or



     (b) your employment with any Affiliated Group member is terminated due to your retirement on
or after (1) reaching age 62, (2) having 10 or more years of credited service as an employee of one
or more Affiliated Group member(s), (3) executing a Retirement Agreement and Release (in such form
as the Committee may approve from time to time) and (4) otherwise complying with any related
retirement policies of the Affiliated Group member in effect at the time of the effective date of
your retirement; or



     (c) your termination of employment by any Affiliated Group member (or its successor) and each
of its Affiliates within one year after a Change of Control (as defined below) and (1) such
termination of employment was initiated by the Affiliated Group member (or its successor) other
than upon or after the occurrence of a Termination for Cause or (2) if such termination of
employment was initiated by you, is upon or after the occurrence of a Termination for Good Reason;
provided, however, that you terminate your employment with any Affiliated Group member (or any
successor) and its Affiliates within 120 days following the date on which you have actual notice of
the event that gives rise to the Termination for Good Reason.



     “Change of Control” means Duncan shall cease, directly or indirectly, to control the General
Partner (including for purposes of clarification, and without limitation, by control that may be
deemed to exist based on (i) the facts that cause Duncan’s deemed control of the General Partner to
exist as of the date of this Agreement (which existing control is hereby recognized and agreed) or
(ii) Duncan’s direct or indirect power to exercise a controlling influence over either the
management or policies of the General Partner (as control and power are construed and used under
rules and regulations promulgated by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, including any
presumptions used thereunder relating to control).



     “Duncan” means, collectively, individually or any combination, Dan L. Duncan, his wife,
descendants, heirs and/or legatees and/or distributees of Dan L. Duncan’s estate, and/or trusts
(including, without limitation, one or more voting trusts) established for the benefit of his wife,
descendants, heirs and/or legatees and/or distributees.

     “Termination for Cause” means the occurrence of any of the following events:



     (a) the commission by you of a material act of willful misconduct including, but not limited
to, the willful violation of any material law, rule, regulation of a governmental entity or cease
and desist order applicable to you or any Affiliated Group member (or its successor) (other than a
law, rule or regulation relating to a minor traffic violation or similar offense), or an act which
constitutes a breach by you of a fiduciary duty owed to any Affiliated Group member (or its
successor); or



     (b) the commission by you of an act of dishonesty relating to the performance of your duties,
habitual unexcused absence(s) from work, willful failure to perform duties in any material respect
(other than any such failure resulting from your incapacity due to physical or mental illness or
disability), or gross negligence in the performance of duties resulting in material damage or
injury to any Affiliated Group member (or its successor), its reputation or goodwill (provided,
however, that in the event of your willful failure to perform duties in any material respect, you
shall be provided with written notice of such event and shall be provided with a reasonable
opportunity, in no event more than 30 days, to cure such failure to perform your duties); or



     (c) any felony conviction of you or any conviction of you involving dishonesty, fraud or
breach of trust (other than for a minor traffic violation or similar offense), whether or not in
the line of duty.



     “Termination for Good Reason” means any nonconsensual (a) material reduction in your
authority, duties or responsibilities; (b) reduction in your compensation by more than 20 percent
from the compensation (excluding Awards pursuant to the Plan or other equity-based compensation)
paid by any Affiliated Group member (or its successor) during the completed fiscal year prior to
the Change of Control; or (c) change caused by any Affiliated Group member (or its successor) in
your office location of more than 50 miles from its location on the date of the Change of Control.



     5. Nothing in this Agreement or in the Plan shall confer any right on you to continue
employment with any member of the Affiliated Group or restrict the Company or its Affiliates from
terminating your employment at any time. Employment with an Affiliate shall be deemed to be
employment with the Company for purposes of the Plan. Unless you have a separate written employment
agreement with an Affiliated Group member, you are, and shall continue to be, an “at will”
employee.



     6. To the extent that the grant or vesting of a Restricted Unit results in the receipt of
compensation by you with respect to which the Company or an Affiliate has a tax withholding
obligation pursuant to applicable law, unless you make other arrangements that are acceptable to
the Company or such Affiliate, you must deliver to the Company or the Affiliate such amount of
money as the Company or the Affiliate may require to meet its tax withholding obligations under
such applicable law. No issuance of an unrestricted Common Unit shall be made pursuant to this
Agreement until you have paid or made arrangements approved by the applicable member of the
Affiliated Group to satisfy in full any applicable tax withholding obligations pursuant to
applicable law. For purposes of this paragraph, unless you make other arrangements or are
subsequently notified to the contrary, applicable member of the Affiliated Group will satisfy your
obligations with respect to any applicable tax withholding by withholding from the issuance under
this Agreement a number of vested Common Units having a then-fair-market value equal to such tax
withholding obligations, based on the closing price per Common Unit as reported on the New York
Stock Exchange (or other principal stock exchange on which the Common Units are then listed) on the
date of vesting. The Committee has determined that it intends that the Plan meet the requirements
of Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act and that the transactions of the type specified in Rule 16b-3
by non-employee directors and by officers of the Company (whether or not they are directors)
pursuant to the Plan, including the foregoing net settlement procedure, will be exempt from the
operation of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act.



     7. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, neither the Company nor the
Partnership shall be obligated to deliver to you any unrestricted Common Units if counsel to the
Company

determines such delivery would violate any law or regulation of any governmental authority
or agreement between the Company or the Partnership and any national securities exchange upon which
the Common Units are listed or any policy of the Company or any Affiliate of the Company.


     8. These Restricted Units are subject to the terms of the Plan, which is hereby incorporated
by reference as if set forth in its entirety herein, including, without limitation, the ability of
the Company, in its discretion, to amend your Restricted Unit award without your approval. In the
event of a conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the Plan, the Plan shall be the
controlling document. Capitalized terms that are used, but are not defined, in this Option grant
award have the respective meanings provided for in the Plan. The Plan, as in effect on the Date of
Grant, is attached hereto as Exhibit A.
