Delaware limited partnership (the “Borrower”), the several banks and other financial institutions

WITNESSETH:

     WHEREAS, the Borrower, the Lenders, and the Administrative Agent are parties to a certain
Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of October 21, 2004, as amended by a certain First
Amendment to Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of February 23, 2005, by a certain

certain Third Amendment to Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of July 31, 2006 (as so

available to the Borrower; and

     WHEREAS, the Borrower has advised the Lenders and the Administrative Agent that it proposes to
cause certain of its Subsidiaries that are Delaware limited partnerships to be converted into Texas
limited partnerships, and to merge such Subsidiaries with and into newly organized Texas limited
liability companies, and in connection with such conversion and merger transactions the Borrower
has requested that the Lenders and the Administrative Agent amend the Credit Agreement and waive
any Potential Defaults or Events of Default that may be deemed to occur or result from such
conversion and merger transactions, all as set forth in this Amendment, and subject to the terms
and conditions hereof, the Lenders are willing to do so;

     NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency and receipt of all of
which are acknowledged, the Borrower, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent agree as follows:

     SECTION 1. Definitions. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Amendment have the

amended hereby and (ii) “Credit Documents”, “thereunder” and words of like import being deemed to

event has occurred and is continuing, or would result from the execution and delivery of this
Amendment, that constitutes an Event of Default or, to the best knowledge of the Borrower, a
Potential Default.

4

 

     SECTION 8. Effect on the Credit Agreement. Except as specifically provided above, the Credit
Agreement shall continue to be in full force and effect and is hereby in all respects ratified and
confirmed. The execution, delivery and effectiveness of this Amendment shall not, except as

the Credit Agreement, nor constitute a waiver of any provision of the Credit Agreement.

     SECTION 9. Costs and Expenses. The Borrower agrees to pay on demand all reasonable costs and
expenses of the Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, execution and delivery of
this Amendment, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses of

and all of which taken together shall constitute but one and the same instrument.

     SECTION 11. Governing Law. This Amendment shall be governed by, and construed in accordance
with, the internal laws of the State of the New York.

that you have been granted the number of Phantom Units set forth above under the EPCO, Inc. 2006
TPP Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). A Phantom Unit is a contractual right to receive a Unit
of TEPPCO Partners, L.P. (the “Partnership”) that is subject to the forfeiture and
non-transferability provisions set forth below in this Agreement. Upon the payment date specified
herein, the holder of the Phantom Unit is entitled to receive cash equal to the then Fair Market
Value of a Unit. The terms of the grant are as follows:

          1. The Phantom Units shall become payable on the earlier of (i) the fourth anniversary of the
Date of Grant set forth above or (ii) the date on which you are no longer a director of the General
Partner or any Affiliate of the General Partner (the earlier of (i) or (ii) above is hereinafter
referred to as the “Payment Date”). For this purpose, transferring as Director from the General
Partner to an Affiliate, or vice versa, will not result in payment of the Phantom Units under (ii),
above.

          2.       Upon the Payment Date, cash will be delivered to you with respect to each Phantom Unit, equal to the then Fair Market Value of a Unit.

          3.       For each calendar quarter in the period beginning on the Date of Grant and ending upon the Payment Date, you will receive a cash payment within such calendar quarter equal to the product of (i) the cash distributions paid during such calendar quarter with respect to a Unit, if any, times (ii) the number of Phantom Units subject to this grant (such payments are
hereinafter referred to as the “DERs”).

          4. None of the Phantom Units or DERs 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 the Phantom Units or DERs granted hereby to you (the “Awarded
Units”), the Awarded Units shall automatically and immediately be forfeited and cancelled without
payment on such date.

          5. Nothing in this Agreement or in the Plan shall confer any right on you to continue as a
director of the General Partner or its Affiliates or restrict the members of the General Partner
from not re-electing you as a director of the General Partner or its Affiliates at any time.

          6. To the extent that the grant or vesting of a Phantom Unit results in the receipt of
compensation by you with respect to which the General Partner or an Affiliate has a tax withholding
obligation pursuant to applicable law, unless you make other arrangements that are acceptable to
the General Partner or such Affiliate, you must deliver to the General Partner or the Affiliate
such amount of money as the General Partner or the Affiliate may

 

 

require to meet its tax withholding obligations under such applicable law.

          7. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the General Partner shall not be
obligated to deliver to you any payment if counsel to the General Partner determines such delivery
would violate any law or regulation of any governmental authority or agreement between the General
Partner or the Partnership and any national securities exchange upon which the Units are listed or
any policy of the General Partner or any Affiliate of the Company.

          8. These Phantom
Units and DERs 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 Committee, in its discretion, to amend your Phantom 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
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.
