the assignee of the Partnership) own all right, title and interest in and to the Assigned Interest,
and that Enterprise Holding III own all right, title and interest in and to the Subsidiary
Interests as of the Closing Date.



     5.5 Investment Representations.



          (a) EPO and the other Seller Parties have substantial experience analyzing and investing in
companies like the Partnership and OLP, and Seller Parties are capable of evaluating the merits and
risks of an investment in the Partnership. To the extent Seller Parties have deemed it necessary,
Seller Parties have retained at their own expense and relied upon appropriate professional advice
regarding the investment in the Unit Consideration, including, without limitation, tax, accounting
and legal advice with respect to thereto. Enterprise GTM is an accredited investor, as such term
is defined in Rule 501 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, is able to bear
the economic risk of its investment in the Partnership and has sufficient net worth to sustain a
loss of its entire investment in the Partnership if such loss should occur.




          (b) Enterprise GTM has had an opportunity to discuss the Partnership’s business, management
and financial affairs with the General Partner and other representatives of the Partnership and has
had an opportunity to review the Partnership’s operations and facilities. Enterprise GTM has had
an opportunity to ask questions of such Partnership personnel, which questions have been answered
to Enterprise GTM’s satisfaction. Enterprise GTM acknowledges it is familiar with the nature of
the Partnership’s business. Enterprise GTM acknowledges that an investment in the Unit
Consideration involves numerous risks, including those described under the heading “Risk Factors”
in the Partnership’s Registration Statement filed on Form S-3 with the United States Securities and
Exchange Commission on March 6, 2008 and in the Partnership’s other filings with the United States
Securities and Exchange Commission.




          (c) Enterprise GTM is acquiring the Unit Consideration solely for investment for its own
account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with the view to, or for resale in connection with, any
distribution thereof. Enterprise GTM acknowledges that the Unit Consideration has not been
registered under the Securities Act or applicable state securities laws by reason of a specific
exemption from the registration provisions thereof, the availability of which depends upon, among
other things, the bona fide nature of the investment intent and the accuracy of EDP’s
representations as expressed herein. Enterprise GTM acknowledges that the Partnership is relying,
in part, upon the representations and warranties contained in this Section 5.6 for the purpose of
determining whether this transaction meets the requirements for such exemptions. Enterprise GTM
acknowledges that it must bear the economic risk of its investment in the Unit Consideration for an
indefinite period of time because the Unit Consideration must be held indefinitely unless
subsequently registered under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or unless an
exemption from such registration is available.




          (d) Enterprise GTM is aware of the current provisions of Rule 144 promulgated under the
Securities Act which permit limited resales of securities purchased in a private placement subject
to the satisfaction of certain conditions. EPD acknowledges that any



14









 






transfer agent of the
Partnership will be issued stop transfer instructions with respect to such Unit
Consideration unless such transfer is subsequently registered under the Securities Act and
applicable state securities laws or unless an exemption from such registration is available. EPD
acknowledges that the Certificate shall bear the legend set forth in the Partnership Agreement and
the a legend in substantially the following form:





THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE
SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”), OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THE
SECURITIES MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED (I) IN THE ABSENCE OF
(A) AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER THE ACT OR (B) AN
OPINION OF COUNSEL SELECTED BY THE HOLDER AND REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO DUNCAN ENERGY
PARTNERS L.P. (THE “PARTNERSHIP”), IN A FORM GENERALLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE
PARTNERSHIP, THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER THE ACT OR (II) UNLESS SOLD
PURSUANT TO RULE 144 OR RULE 144A UNDER SAID ACT.



     The legend set forth above shall be removed, and the Partnership shall issue a certificate
without such legend to the holder of the Unit Consideration, if, unless otherwise required by state
securities laws, (i) such Unit Consideration is registered for resale under the Securities Act,
(ii) in connection therewith, the holder provides the Partnership with an opinion of counsel
reasonably acceptable to the Partnership, in a generally acceptable form, to the effect that such
sale, assignment or transfer of the Unit Consideration may be made without registration under the
applicable requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or (iii) such
holder provides the Partnership with reasonable assurances of the holder’s belief that the Unit
Consideration may be sold, assigned or transferred pursuant to Rule 144 or Rule 144A promulgated
under the Securities Act.



     5.6 HSR. The Parties acknowledge they have previously made all filings required under
the HSR Act. Each Party shall: (i) keep the other Parties reasonably informed of any communication
received by such Party from, or given by such Party to any Governmental Entity, and of any
communication received or given in connection with any proceeding by a private party, in each case
regarding the HSR filings and (ii) permit each other Party to review and incorporate the other
Party’s reasonable comments in any communication given by such Party to any Governmental Entity or
in connection with any proceeding by a private party related to the HSR Act with any other Person.
The General Partner of the Partnership shall be entitled to direct any proceedings or negotiations
with any Governmental Entity or other Person relating to the filings under the HSR; provided, that
the General Partner shall afford EPD a reasonable opportunity to participate therein. The
Partnership shall not be required to (i) sell or otherwise dispose of, or hold separate or agree to
sell or otherwise dispose of, assets, categories of assets or businesses of the Partnership or its
subsidiaries, (ii) terminate existing relationships, contractual rights or obligations of the
Partnership or its subsidiaries, (iii) terminate any venture or other arrangement or (iv) effect
any other change or restructuring of the Partnership or its subsidiaries.
