         WHEREAS, the Partnership desires to designate EPN Alabama Intrastate,
L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company (the "NEW GUARANTOR"), as a
Restricted Subsidiary and, accordingly, cause such subsidiary to become a
Subsidiary Guarantor under the Indenture pursuant to the terms of this
Supplemental Indenture;

         WHEREAS, this Supplemental Indenture is executed and delivered pursuant
to Sections 4.14 and 11.01 of the Indenture;

         WHEREAS, the Issuers, the Subsidiary Guarantors (which term includes
the New Guarantor) and the Trustee desire to enter into this Supplemental
Indenture to provide for the New Guarantor's guarantee of payment on the same
terms and conditions as the Guarantees by the other Subsidiary Guarantors; and

         WHEREAS, all conditions precedent provided for in the Indenture
relating to this Supplemental Indenture have been complied with.

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises herein contained, and
for other good and valuable considerations, the receipt and sufficiency of which
are hereby acknowledged, the Issuers, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Trustee
mutually covenant and agree for the equal and proportionate benefit of all
Holders of the Notes as follows:

               SECTION 1. INCORPORATION OF INDENTURE; DEFINITIONS

         1.1      INCORPORATION OF INDENTURE. This Supplemental Indenture
constitutes a supplement to the Indenture, and the Indenture and this
Supplemental Indenture shall be read together and shall have effect so far as

otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings assigned to such
terms in the Indenture.

<PAGE>

                       SECTION 2. SUPPLEMENTAL PROVISIONS

         2.1      UNCONDITIONAL GUARANTEE. Subject to the provisions of Article
11 of the Indenture, the New Guarantor shall be a Subsidiary Guarantor under the
terms of the Indenture and hereby, jointly and severally with the other
Subsidiary Guarantors, unconditionally guarantees to each Holder of a Note
authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee and its successors
and assigns, irrespective of the validity and enforceability of the Indenture,
the Notes or the Obligations of the Issuers under the Indenture or the Notes,
that: (a) the principal of, premium, interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, on
the Notes shall be promptly paid in full when due, whether at the maturity or
interest payment or mandatory redemption date, by acceleration, redemption or
otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal of, premium, interest and
Liquidated Damages, if any, on the Notes, if any, if lawful, and all other
Obligations of the Issuers to the Holders or the Trustee under the Indenture and
the Notes; and (b) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any
Notes or any of such other obligations, that same shall be promptly paid in full
when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal,
whether at Stated Maturity, by acceleration or otherwise. Failing payment when
due of any amount so guaranteed or any performance so guaranteed for whatever
reason, the Subsidiary Guarantors shall be jointly and severally obligated to
pay the same immediately. The New Guarantor hereby agrees that to the fullest
extent permitted by applicable law, its obligations under the Indenture shall be
unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the
Notes or the Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any
waiver or consent by any Holder of the Notes with respect to any provisions of
the Indenture and the Notes, the recovery of any judgment against the Issuers,
any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise
constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a Subsidiary Guarantor.
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the New Guarantor hereby
waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court
in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Issuers, any right to require a
proceeding first against the Issuers, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever
and covenants that the Guarantees shall not be discharged except by complete
performance of the obligations contained in the Notes and the Indenture.

         If any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to
return to the Issuers or Subsidiary Guarantors, or any custodian, trustee,
liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to either the Issuers or
Subsidiary Guarantors, any amount paid by either to the Trustee or such Holder,
these Guarantees, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in
full force and effect. The New Guarantor agrees that it shall not be entitled to
any right of subrogation in relation to the Holders in respect of any
Obligations guaranteed under the Indenture until payment in full of all
Obligations guaranteed by the Indenture.

         The New Guarantor further agrees that, as between the Subsidiary
Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand,
(x) the maturity of the Obligations guaranteed by the Indenture may be
accelerated as provided in Article 6 of the Indenture for the purposes of these
Guarantees, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing
such acceleration in respect of the Obligations guaranteed by the Indenture, and
(y) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such Obligations as
provided in Article 6 of the Indenture, such Obligations (whether or not due and
payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Subsidiary Guarantors for
the purpose of these Guarantees. The New Guarantor

                                       2

<PAGE>

agrees that the Subsidiary Guarantors shall have the right to seek contribution
from any non-paying Subsidiary Guarantor so long as the exercise of such right
does not impair the rights of the Holders under these Guarantees.

         2.2      OTHER GUARANTEE TERMS. The New Guarantor hereby confirms,
adopts and acknowledges each of the provisions of the Indenture relating to the
Subsidiary Guarantors and the Guarantees, including, but not limited to,
Articles 4 and 11 thereof. In addition, the Guarantee of the New Guarantor
contained herein that was incurred pursuant to Section 4.11 of the Indenture
shall be automatically and unconditionally released upon the release or
discharge of the guarantee which resulted in the creation of such Guarantee,
except a discharge or release by, or as a result of payment under, such
guarantee.

                            SECTION 3. MISCELLANEOUS

         3.1      COUNTERPARTS. This Supplemental Indenture may be signed in
counterparts and by the different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each
of which shall constitute an original and all of which together shall constitute
one and the same instrument.

         3.2      SEVERABILITY. In case any provision in this Supplemental
Indenture shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and
enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or
impaired thereby.

         3.3      HEADINGS. The headings of the sections of this Supplemental
Indenture have been inserted for convenience of reference only, are not to be
considered a part hereof and shall not modify or restrict any of the terms or
provisions hereof.

         3.4      SUCCESSORS. All agreements of the Issuers and the Subsidiary
Guarantors in this Supplemental Indenture shall bind their respective
successors. All agreements of the Trustee in this Supplemental Indenture shall
bind its successors.

         3.5      GOVERNING LAW. THIS SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE SHALL BE GOVERNED
BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK BUT
WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO APPLICABLE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW TO THE EXTENT
THAT THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION WOULD BE REQUIRED
THEREBY.

         3.6      FULL FORCE AND EFFECT. The Indenture, as supplemented by this
Supplemental Indenture, remains in full force and effect and is hereby ratified
and confirmed as the valid and binding obligation of the parties hereto.

         3.7      TRUSTEE. The Trustee accepts the modifications of trusts
referenced in the Indenture and effected by this Supplemental Indenture. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Trustee assumes no responsibility
for the correctness of the recitals herein contained, which shall be taken as
the statements of the Issuers and the Subsidiary Guarantors, and the Trustee
shall not be responsible or accountable in any way whatsoever for or with
respect to the validity or execution or sufficiency of this Supplemental
Indenture, and the Trustee makes no representation with respect thereto.
