R E C I T A L S

     The purpose of this Agreement is to amend and restate, in its entirety, that certain Fifth
Amended and Restated Administrative Services Agreement, as amended on and effective January 30,
2009 (the “Fifth Amendment”) and in particular, after giving effect to certain transactions

Parties under this Agreement from its obligations to the other parties under the Fifth Amendment,

1

 

Parties to terminate and release the obligations of the other Parties to the TPP Parties, EPE
and the DEP Parties under the Fifth Amendment.

     The Parties hereto desire, by their execution of this Agreement, to evidence the terms and
conditions pursuant to which (i) the EPCO Group will provide certain services to the MLP Group on
and after the Effective Date and (ii) a variety of additional matters will be handled among the
EPCO Group and the MLP Group on and after the Effective Date.

A G R E E M E N T S

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the covenants, conditions, and agreements
contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of
which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

ARTICLE 1: DEFINITIONS

     1.1 Definitions. The definitions listed on Exhibit A shall be for all purposes, unless
otherwise clearly indicated to the contrary, applied to the terms used in this Agreement.

     1.2 Construction. Unless the context requires otherwise: (a) any pronoun used in this
Agreement shall include the corresponding masculine, feminine or neuter forms, and the singular
form of nouns, pronouns and verbs shall include the plural and vice versa; (b) references to
Articles and Sections refer to Articles and Sections of this Agreement; (c) the terms “include”,
“includes”, “including” or words of like import shall be deemed to be followed by the words
“without limitation”; and (d) the terms “hereof”, “herein” or “hereunder” refer to this Agreement
as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement. The table of contents and
headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only, and shall not affect in any
way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

ARTICLE 2: SERVICES

     2.1 EPCO Services.

          (a) During the Term, subject to the terms of this Article 2 and in exchange for the
reimbursement described in Section 2.2, the EPCO Group hereby agrees to provide the MLP
Group with such selling, general and administrative services and such management and operating
services as directed by the General Partner and as may be necessary to manage and operate the
business, properties and assets of the MLP Group in accordance with Prudent Industry Practices; it
being understood and agreed by the
Parties that in connection with the provision of such services, EPCO shall employ or otherwise
retain the services of such personnel as may be necessary to cause the business, properties and
assets of the MLP Group to be so managed and operated (individually, an “EPCO Service” and,
collectively, the “EPCO Services”).

2

 

          (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Parties recognize and
agree that the General Partner, along with any required approval of its Audit and Conflicts
Committee, shall have the exclusive authority to appoint an independent accounting firm to audit
the financial statements of the MLP Group.

     2.2 EPCO Compensation. As compensation for the provision by the EPCO Group of the EPCO
Services to each member of the MLP Group, the EPCO Group shall be entitled to receive, and the
General Partner agrees to cause EPD or EPOLLC to pay to the applicable member of the EPCO Group,
without duplication, an amount equal to the sum of all costs and expenses (direct or indirect)
incurred by such member of the EPCO Group which are directly or indirectly related to the business
or activities of the MLP Group (including, without limitation, expenses, direct or indirect,
reasonably allocated to the MLP Group by the EPCO Group). In addition, the General Partner shall
pay or cause EPD or EPOLLC to pay all sales, use, excise, value added or similar taxes (together
with any penalties, fines or interest thereon), if any, that may be applicable from time to time in
respect of the EPCO Services provided to the MLP Group by the EPCO Group. The aggregate amount
payable by the MLP Group to the EPCO Group pursuant to this Section 2.2 with respect to a
given period of time shall be referred to herein as the “Administrative Services Fee.” It
is the intention of the Parties that the Administrative Services Fee with respect to the MLP Group
represents fair and reasonable compensation to the EPCO Group for the MLP Group’s allocable share
of all general and administrative expenses, capital expenses and other costs for Shared Services
borne or performed by the EPCO Group for the benefit of any member of the MLP Group.

     2.3 Dispute Regarding Services or Calculation of Costs. Should there be a dispute over the
nature or quality of the EPCO Services, or the calculation and allocation of any Administrative
Services Fee, relating to any of the EPCO Services, EPCO and the General Partner, on behalf of the
MLP Group, shall first attempt to resolve such dispute, acting diligently and in good faith, using
the past practices of such Parties and documentary evidence of costs as guidelines for such
resolution. If EPCO and the General Partner are unable to resolve any such dispute within thirty
days, or such additional time as may be reasonable under the circumstances, the dispute shall be
referred to the Audit and Conflicts Committee. EPCO shall provide to the General Partner a
quarterly statement indicating the total EPCO Group costs and expenses allocated to all of the MLP
Group and a detailed statement of the EPCO Group costs and expenses that are allocated to the MLP
Group and representative of the MLP Group’s Administrative Service Fee (including an explanation of
such allocation, which shall generally be consistent from period to period). The Parties agree
that the Audit and Conflicts Committee shall have the authority to settle any such dispute, in its
sole discretion, recognizing that it is the intent of all Parties that all shared expenses or
services be allocated among the EPCO Group and the MLP Group on a fair and reasonable basis.

     2.4 Invoices. EPCO shall invoice the appropriate member of the MLP Group (in care of the
General Partner, as billing agent for the MLP Group (the “Billing Agent”)) on or before the
last day of each month for the estimated Administrative Services Fee expected to be incurred by the
EPCO Group for the next succeeding month, plus or minus

3

 

any adjustment necessary to correct prior
estimated billings to actual billings. All invoices shall be due and payable on the last day of the
month which the invoice covers. Upon request from the Billing Agent, EPCO shall furnish in
reasonable detail a description of the EPCO Services performed by the EPCO Group for the MLP Group
during any month or other relevant period.

     2.5 Disputes; Default. Notwithstanding any provision of this Article 2 to the
contrary, should the General Partner fail to cause EPO or EPOLLC to pay to EPCO, as agent for, and
acting on behalf of, the EPCO Group, when due, any amounts owing in respect of the applicable EPCO
Services, except as set forth in the third succeeding sentence, upon 30 days’ notice, EPCO, as
agent for, and acting on behalf of, the EPCO Group, may terminate this Article 2 as to
those EPCO Services that relate to the unpaid portion of the invoice. Should there be a dispute as
to the propriety of invoiced amounts, the Billing Agent shall cause EPO or EPOLLC to pay all
undisputed amounts on each invoice, but shall be entitled to withhold payment of any amount in
dispute and shall promptly notify EPCO of such disputed amount. EPCO shall promptly provide the
Billing Agent with records relating to the disputed amount so as to enable EPCO and the General
Partner to resolve the dispute. So long as such parties are attempting in good faith to resolve the
dispute, EPCO shall not be entitled to terminate the EPCO Services that relate to the disputed
amount.

     2.6 Input Regarding EPCO Services. Any records, information or other input from the MLP Group
that is necessary for the EPCO Group to perform any EPCO Services shall be submitted, upon EPCO’s
written request therefor to the General Partner, to EPCO, as agent for, and on behalf of, the EPCO
Group, by the MLP Group. If the MLP Group fails to supply such records, information or other input
to EPCO and such failure renders the EPCO Group’s performance of any EPCO Services unreasonably
difficult, in EPCO’s reasonable judgment, EPCO, as agent for, and acting on behalf of, the EPCO
Group, upon reasonable notice to the General Partner, may refuse to perform such EPCO Services
until such records, information or other input is supplied.

     2.7 Limitation Regarding EPCO Services. The MLP Group Parties hereto acknowledge that the EPCO Group shall only be required to
perform and provide (i) those EPCO Services with respect to the business of the MLP Group as
operated on the Effective Date, and (ii) such additional EPCO Services as may be mutually agreed
orally or in writing by EPCO and the General Partner (or other members of the MLP Group), which
agreement regarding additional or fewer EPCO Services shall reflect an appropriate adjustment to
the applicable Administrative Services Fee. The EPCO Group shall not be required to perform any
EPCO Services hereunder for the benefit of any Person other than the MLP Group.

     2.8 Representations Regarding Use of Services. The MLP Group Parties hereto represent and
agree that they will use (and cause any other MLP Group members controlled by them to use) the EPCO
Services only in accordance with all applicable federal, state and local laws and regulations, and
in accordance with the reasonable conditions, rules, regulations, and specifications that may be
set forth in any manuals, materials, documents, or instructions furnished from time to time by the
EPCO Group to

4

 

the MLP Group. EPCO, as agent for, and acting on behalf of, the EPCO Group, reserves
the right to take all actions, including, without limitation, termination of any portion of the
EPCO Services for the MLP Group that it reasonably believes is required to be terminated in order
to assure compliance with applicable laws and regulations.

     2.9 Disclaimer of Warranties; Limitation of Liability. (a) The EPCO Services shall be
provided in accordance with the Services Standard. EXCEPT AS SET FORTH IN THE PRECEDING SENTENCE,
THE EPCO GROUP MAKES NO (AND HEREBY DISCLAIMS AND NEGATES ANY AND ALL) WARRANTIES, CONDITIONS OR
REPRESENTATIONS WHATSOEVER, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WITH RESPECT TO THE EPCO SERVICES, INCLUDING ANY
AND ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS OR SUITABILITY FOR ANY
PURPOSE (WHETHER THE EPCO GROUP KNOWS, HAS REASON TO KNOW, HAS BEEN ADVISED, OR IS OTHERWISE IN
FACT AWARE OF ANY SUCH PURPOSE) WHETHER ALLEGED TO ARISE BY LAW, BUT REASON OF CUSTOM OR USAGE IN
THE TRADE OR BY COURSE OF DEALING. HOWEVER, IN THE CASE OF OUTSOURCED SERVICES PROVIDED SOLELY FOR
THE MLP GROUP, IF THE THIRD-PARTY PROVIDER OF SUCH SERVICES MAKES AN EXPRESS WARRANTY TO THE MLP
GROUP, THE GENERAL PARTNER IS ENTITLED TO CAUSE THE EPCO GROUP TO RELY ON AND TO ENFORCE SUCH
WARRANTY.

     (b) IN NO EVENT SHALL THE EPCO GROUP OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES BE LIABLE TO ANY OF
THE PERSONS RECEIVING ANY EPCO SERVICES OR TO ANY OTHER PERSON FOR ANY EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE,
INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR SPECIAL DAMAGES RESULTING FROM ANY ERROR IN THE PERFORMANCE
OF SUCH SERVICE, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THE PERSON PROVIDING SUCH
SERVICE, ITS AFFILIATES, OR OTHERS MAY BE WHOLLY, CONCURRENTLY, PARTIALLY, OR SOLELY NEGLIGENT
OR OTHERWISE AT FAULT, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT SUCH EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL,
CONSEQUENTIAL OR SPECIAL DAMAGES ARE PAID BY THE PARTY INCURRING SUCH DAMAGES TO A THIRD PARTY.

     2.10 Force Majeure. The EPCO Group shall have no obligation to perform the EPCO Services, and
shall not be liable for any expense, loss or damage whatsoever arising out of any interruption,
delay or failure to perform any EPCO Services under this Agreement, if its failure to do so is
caused by or results from any act of God, governmental action (including any nation, state,
territory, province or other political subdivision thereof), natural disaster, strike, riot,
failure of essential equipment, act of a public enemy, act of terrorism, or any other cause or
circumstance, whether similar or dissimilar to the foregoing causes or circumstances, beyond the
reasonable control of the EPCO Group. In any such event, the EPCO Group’s obligations hereunder
shall be postponed for such time as its performance is suspended or delayed on account thereof.
EPCO, as agent for, and acting on behalf of the EPCO Group, will promptly notify the MLP Group,
either orally or in writing, upon learning of the occurrence of such event of force majeure. Upon
the cessation of the force majeure event, the EPCO Group will use

5

 

its commercially reasonable
efforts to resume its performance with the least practicable delay.

     2.11 Affiliates. At its election, the EPCO Group may cause one or more of their respective
Affiliates or third party contractors reasonably acceptable to the General Partner to provide any
such EPCO Service; provided, however, EPCO shall remain responsible for the provision of such EPCO
Service in accordance with this Agreement.

     2.12 Term and Termination.

          (a) In addition to the termination of particular EPCO Services as provided in Section 2.5, the
EPCO Group may exclude any particular services from the scope of EPCO Services at any time without
penalty by giving notice of such termination to the other Parties, with the effective date being
not less than 60 days following notice of any exclusion of particular services or such other
effective date as may be agreed upon by the Parties.

          (b) EPCO and EPCO Holdings, on behalf of the EPCO Group, may terminate this Agreement at any
time without penalty by giving notice of such termination to the other Parties, with the effective
date being not less than 180 days following notice of termination, or such other effective date as
may be agreed upon by the Parties.

          (c) EPCO and EPCO Holdings, on behalf of the EPCO Group, may terminate this Agreement at any
time upon the MLP Group’s material breach of this Agreement, if (i) such breach is not remedied
within 45 days (or 30 days in the event of a material breach arising out of the failure to make
payment hereunder) after the General Partner’s receipt of written notice thereof, or such longer
period as is reasonably required to cure such breach, provided that the General Partner commences
or causes the MLP Group to cure such breach, and (ii) such breach is continuing at the time notice
of termination is delivered to the General Partner.

          (d) The General Partner may terminate this Agreement at any time upon the EPCO Group’s
material breach of this Agreement, if (i) such breach is not remedied within 45 days (or 30 days in
the event of a material breach arising out of the failure to make payment hereunder) after EPCO’s
receipt (on behalf of the EPCO Group) of written notice thereof, or such longer period as is
reasonably required to cure such breach, provided that the EPCO Group commences to cure such
breach, and (ii) such breach is continuing at the time notice of termination is delivered to EPCO
(acting on behalf of the EPCO Group).

          (e) If this Agreement is terminated in accordance with this Section 2.12 or otherwise at the
end of the Term, all rights and obligations under this Agreement shall cease except for (i)
obligations that expressly survive termination of this Agreement, (ii) liabilities and obligations
that have accrued prior to such termination, and (iii) the obligation to pay any portion of amounts
payable under Article 2 and under

6

 

Section 5.4(b) (if applicable) that have accrued prior to such
termination, even if such amounts have not become due and payable at that time.

          (f) The provisions of Article 2 (with respect to unpaid amounts hereunder), Section 2.2,
Article 3, Article 4, Section 5.4(b) (with respect to any unpaid amounts hereunder) and Article 6
shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

ARTICLE 3: OWNERSHIP OF WORK PRODUCT; AUDIT RIGHTS:
 DISCLOSURE OF COMPENSATION

     3.1 Ownership of Work Product.

          (a) The work produced by the EPCO Group under the terms of this Agreement in connection with
the performance of the EPCO Services, including, without limitation, all work papers, drafts,
notes, reports, extracts and other written or electronic recordings, developed in connection with
the EPCO Services hereunder, but excluding, without limitation, the books and records of the EPCO
Group not relating to the performance of the EPCO Services (the “Work Product”), shall be
the property of the MLP Group. The EPCO Group shall have no right or interest in such Work
Product, but the EPCO Group (i) shall be and is hereby granted an irrevocable, royalty-free,
non-exclusive and non-transferable right and license to use and maintain originals or copies of
such Work Product (A) to perform the EPCO Services hereunder and (B) in connection with any
other books and records required to be maintained by the EPCO Group under applicable tax,
accounting, or other regulatory requirements, or for other permitted EPCO Group business purposes,
and (ii) may share MLP Group information and any Work Product with its Affiliates, agents and
representatives as reasonably necessary to perform the EPCO Services, all in accordance with the
limitations, duties and obligations imposed by this Agreement, including this Section 3.1.

          (b) Each of the Parties acknowledges and agrees that a breach by it of its obligations under
this Section 3.1 would cause irreparable harm to the other Parties and that monetary
damages would not be adequate to compensate the harmed Parties. Accordingly, the breaching Parties
agree that the harmed Parties shall be entitled to immediate equitable relief, including a
temporary or permanent injunction, to prevent any threatened, likely or ongoing violation by the
breaching Parties, without the necessity of posting bond or other security. Each of the harmed
Parties’ right to equitable relief shall be in addition to other rights and remedies available to
the harmed Parties for monetary damages or otherwise to the extent permitted under this Agreement.

     3.2 Audit Rights. At any time during the Term and for one year thereafter, to the extent necessary
to verify the performance by the EPCO Group of its obligations under this Agreement, the General
Partner, on behalf of the MLP Group, shall have the right, at the MLP Group’s expense, to audit,
examine and make copies of the books and records of the EPCO Group relating to the provision of
EPCO Services and the

7

 

determination of the Administrative Services Fee (the “Audit Right”).
The General Partner may exercise the Audit Right through any agent or employee of the General
Partner or such auditors as the General Partner may determine in its sole discretion. The General
Partner shall (i) exercise the Audit Right only upon reasonable notice to EPCO during normal
business hours and (ii) use its reasonable efforts to conduct the Audit Right in such a manner as
to minimize the inconvenience and disruption to EPCO.

     3.3 Disclosure of Compensation. EPCO, on behalf of the EPCO Group, shall disclose to the General
Partner the amount of compensation or other remuneration of any EPCO Group employees who are
executive officers or directors of the General Partner or EPD, to the extent required for the MLP
Group to comply with the requirements of applicable law, including applicable Federal securities
laws.

ARTICLE 4: INDEMNIFICATION

     4.1 Indemnification by EPCO.

          (a) From and after the date hereof and subject to the remaining provisions of this Section
4.1, EPCO, on behalf of the EPCO Group, shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the MLP Group
from and against any loss, cost, claim, liability, prepayment or similar penalty, damage, expense,
attorneys fees, judgment, award or settlement of any kind or nature whatsoever (other than
out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the MLP Group in connection with the discharge by the
EPCO Group of the EPCO Group’s obligations pursuant to Section 4.1(c)) (collectively,
“Losses”) incurred by the MLP Group in connection with the Excluded Liabilities; provided,
however, in no event shall such indemnification obligation, or the term “Losses,” cover or include
exemplary, punitive, special, consequential, indirect, or incidental damages or lost profits
suffered by the MLP Group in connection with the Excluded Liabilities, except to the extent such
exemplary, punitive, special, consequential, indirect or incidental damages or lost profits are
actually paid by any member of the MLP Group to a third party.

          (b) The EPCO Group, shall have the right to control all aspects of the defense of any claims
(and any counterclaims) related to the Excluded Liabilities, including, without limitation, the
selection of counsel, determination of whether to appeal any decision of any court and the settling
of any such matter or any issues relating thereto; provided, however, that no such settlement shall
be entered into without the consent of the General Partner, on behalf of the MLP Group, unless (i)
it includes a full release of the applicable members of the MLP Group from such matter or issues,
as the case may be or (ii) following such settlement there is no realistic scenario under which the
MLP Group could be held liable for such matter or issues.

          (c) The MLP Group Parties hereto agree, at their own cost and expense, to cooperate fully with
the EPCO Group with respect to all aspects of the defense of any claims related to the Excluded
Liabilities, including, without limitation, the prompt furnishing to the EPCO Group of any
correspondence or other notice relating thereto that any member of the MLP Group may receive,
permitting the names of the applicable members of the MLP Group to be utilized in connection with
such defense and

8

 

the making available to the EPCO Group of any files, records or other information
of the MLP Group that EPCO, on behalf of the EPCO Group, considers relevant to such defense;
provided, however, that in connection therewith the EPCO Group agrees to use reasonable efforts to
minimize the impact thereof on the operations of the MLP Group. In no event shall the obligation of
the MLP Group to cooperate with the EPCO Group as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence
be construed as imposing upon the MLP Group an obligation to hire and pay for counsel in connection
with the defense of any claims related to the Excluded Liabilities.

     4.2 Indemnification by EPD, EPOLLC and MLP Group Parties.

          (a) Each MLP Group Party, jointly and severally, hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold
harmless EPCO and its stockholders and Affiliates and their respective directors, managers,
officers, employees and agents (an “EPCO Indemnified
Party”) from and against any loss, cost, claim, liability, prepayment or similar penalty,
damage, expense, attorneys fees, judgment, award or settlement of any kind or nature whatsoever
(collectively, “EPCO Losses”) incurred by one or more of the EPCO Indemnified Parties,
whether based on contract, tort, or pursuant to any statute, rule or regulation, and regardless of
whether the EPCO Losses are forseeable or unforseeable, all to the extent that such EPCO Losses are
in respect of or arise from claims by a third party relating to (i) any acts or omissions of the
EPCO Indemnified Parties in connection with furnishing, or failing to furnish, any of the EPCO
Services, solely to the extent that (x) such acts or omissions were performed for the benefit of
any member of the MLP Group, and (y) such EPCO Services were performed in accordance with the
Services Standard; provided, that the MLP Group Parties shall not be obligated to indemnify or hold
harmless the EPCO Indemnified Parties from and against any EPCO Losses to the extent they result
from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any EPCO Indemnified Party; and provided,
further, in no event shall such indemnification obligation, or the term “EPCO Losses,”
cover or include exemplary, punitive, special, consequential, indirect, or incidental damages or
lost profits suffered by the EPCO Indemnified Parties in connection with the EPCO Services, except
to the extent such exemplary, punitive, special, consequential, indirect or incidental damages or
lost profits are actually paid by the EPCO Indemnified Party to a third party.

     4.3 Negligence; Strict Liability. Except as expressly provided in Section 4.2, the
defense and indemnity obligations in Section 4.2 shall apply regardless of cause or
negligent acts or omissions (including sole negligence, concurrent negligence or strict liability),
breach of duty (statutory or otherwise), violation of law or other fault of any indemnified Party,
or any pre-existing defect; provided, however, that this provision shall not apply to the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of any indemnified Party or in any way limit or alter any
qualifications set forth in such defense and indemnity obligations expressly relating to gross
negligence, willful misconduct or breach of this agreement. The Parties agree that this statement
complies with the requirement known as the “express negligence rule” to expressly state in a
conspicuous manner and to afford fair and adequate

9

 

notice that this article has provisions

to be named as insureds or additional insureds in the EPCO Group’s insurance program, as in effect
from time to time, other than with respect to workers’ compensation coverage. Subject to
Section 2.5, each member of the MLP Group shall be allocated, and pay for, such insurance
coverage in an amount equal to the EPCO Group’s cost of insuring the assets and operations of such
entities.

     5.2 EPCO’s Employees.

          (a) The obligation of the Billing Agent to cause EPO or EPOLLC to pay the Administrative
Services Fee shall, as such obligation relates to the EPCO Group’s expenses incurred to compensate
its employees providing the EPCO Services, reimburse the EPCO Group for the appropriate pro rata
cost of such employees’ salaries, wages, bonuses, benefits, social security and other taxes,
workers compensation insurance, retirement and insurance benefits, training, and other direct and
indirect costs of such employee fringe benefits. The Billing Agent shall not be obligated to cause
EPO or EPOLLC to pay any amount directly to EPCO’s employees; provided, however, if the EPCO Group
ever fails to pay any employee providing EPCO Services within 30 days following the date such
employee’s payment is due:

          (i) the Billing Agent or any Affiliate of the Billing Agent may, but shall not be required to,
(w) pay such employee directly, (x) employ such employee directly, (y) notify EPCO, acting as agent
for, and on behalf of, the EPCO Group, and begin to pay all employees providing EPCO Services
directly, or (z) notify EPCO, acting as agent for, and on behalf of, the EPCO Group, that the
portion of this Agreement relating to the EPCO Services is terminated and employ directly any or
all of such employees, or employ such other individuals as the Billing Agent and the Billing
Agent’s Affiliates may choose in their sole discretion, and

          (ii) EPCO, on behalf of the EPCO Group, shall reimburse the Billing Agent for any amount that
the Billing Agent or the Billing Agent’s Affiliate paid to the EPCO Group, for the EPCO Group’s
employees providing the EPCO Services, that the EPCO Group did not pay to, or on behalf of, such
employees.

          (b) Notwithstanding anything in Section 5.2(a) to the contrary, the General Partner
shall have the right, at any time upon at least 90 days notice to EPCO, on behalf of the EPCO
Group, to terminate the portion of this Agreement relating to the EPCO Services and to employ any
or all of EPCO’s employees providing the EPCO Services directly, or employ such other individuals
as the General Partner or its Affiliates may choose in its sole discretion.

     5.3 EPCO Group License and Participation in MLP Group Agreements.

10

 

          (a) EPD and EPOLLC hereby grant, and will cause their MLP Group Affiliates to grant, to EPCO
and its Affiliates an irrevocable, royalty-fee, non-exclusive and non-transferable right and
license to use, during the term of this Agreement, any intellectual property provided by EPD,
EPOLLC or their Affiliates to the extent used in the performance of the EPCO Services or, if
requested by EPCO, to an extent not used in the performance of the EPCO Services. EPCO agrees that
EPCO and its Affiliates will reimburse the MLP Group for its pro rata share of all costs and
expenses (direct and
indirect) associated with such licenses to the extent used by EPCO or its Affiliates in the
business of EPCO and its Affiliates.

          (b) To the extent reasonably requested by EPCO, on behalf of the EPCO Group, EPOLLC shall
cause Shared Services or materials provided under MLP Group agreements or contracts to be provided
to the EPCO Group, provided EPCO, on behalf of the EPCO Group, agrees to reimburse the MLP Group
for its pro rata share of all costs and expenses (direct or indirect) associated with such services
or materials under the MLP Group agreements.

     6.4 Effect of Waiver of Consent. No Party’s express or implied waiver of, or consent to, any
breach or default by any Party in the performance by such Party of its obligations hereunder shall
be deemed or construed to be a consent or waiver to or of any

11

 

other breach or default in the performance by such Party of the same or any
other obligations of such Party hereunder. Failure on
the part of a Party to complain of any act of any Party or to declare any Party
in default, irrespective of how long such failure continues, shall not constitute a waiver by
such Party of its rights hereunder until the applicable statute of limitations period has run.

     6.5 Amendment or Modification. This Agreement may be amended or modified from time to time
only by the agreement of all the Parties affected by any such amendment; provided, however, that

Partner will materially and adversely affect the holders of units of EPD.

     6.6 Assignment. This Agreement may not be assigned by any Party without the consent of all of
the other Parties; provided, EPCO may delegate its obligations hereunder in accordance with
Section 2.11 above.

effect as if all Parties had signed the same document. All counterparts shall be construed together

or circumstance shall be held invalid or unenforceable to any extent, the remainder of this
Agreement and the application of such provision to other Parties or circumstances shall not be
affected thereby and shall be enforced to the greatest extent permitted by law.

     6.9 Further Assurances. In connection with this Agreement and all transactions contemplated by
this Agreement, each Party hereto agrees to execute and deliver such additional documents and
instruments and to perform such additional acts as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate,
carry out and perform all of the terms, provisions and conditions of this Agreement and all such
transactions.

     6.10 Withholding or Granting of Consent. Unless the consent or approval of a Party is

with respect to any consent or approval that it is entitled to grant pursuant to this Agreement,
grant or withhold such consent or approval in its sole and uncontrolled discretion, with or without
cause, and subject to such conditions as it shall deem appropriate.

shall be payable in coin or currency of the United States of America that, at the time of payment,
is legal tender for the payment of public and private debts in the United States of America.

     6.12 Laws and Regulations. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, no
Party hereto shall be required to take any act, or fail to take any act,

12

 

under this Agreement if
the effect thereof would be to cause such Party to be in violation of any applicable law, statute,
rule or regulation.

     6.13 Negation of Rights of Third Parties. The provisions of this Agreement are enforceable
solely by the Parties, and no limited partner of EPD or other Person shall have the right to
enforce any provision of this Agreement, or to bring any claim, cause of action or seek any remedy
or any right of any kind, or to compel any Party to comply with the terms of this Agreement.

     6.14 No Recourse Against Officers, Directors, Managers or Employees. For the avoidance of
doubt, the provisions of this Agreement shall not give rise to any right of recourse against any
officer, director, manager or employee of EPCO, the General Partner or their respective Affiliates.

     6.15 Relationship of the Parties. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to create a
partnership or joint venture or give rise to a fiduciary or similar relationship of any kind.

September 2, 2011

Mr. Gene Ochi

UTi Worldwide Inc.

100 Oceangate, Suite 1000

Long Beach, CA 90802 

Dear Gene:

The purpose of this letter agreement is to clarify our mutual understanding regarding the vesting of certain
equity-based compensation held by you in the event you satisfy the Vesting Conditions (as defined below). You
understand that you are being granted rights not otherwise provided under the terms of such equity-based compensation
because of your more than 20 years of extraordinary service to UTi Worldwide Inc. (together with its affiliates, the
“Company”). This letter agreement supplements the amended and restated employment agreement between you and UTi,
Services, Inc. dated March 25, 2010 (the “Employment Agreement”). All capitalized terms used but not defined herein
have the meaning set forth in the Employment Agreement.

In order for the Vesting Conditions to be satisfied, you must (1) remain a full-time employee of the Company in good
standing through at least January 31, 2014 (the “Minimum Employment Date”), (2) comply in all material respects with
the terms of the Employment Agreement, including the post-employment covenants set forth in Section 8 thereof, and (3)
enter into and comply in all material respects with the terms of a standard two-year non-compete agreement to be
executed between you and the Company (the “Non-Compete Agreement”) on the date of your termination of employment with
the Company. For purposes of this letter agreement, the date of your termination of employment (including as the
result of a retirement from the Company) is referred to herein as the “Termination Date” and the two year anniversary
thereof when the non-compete agreement shall expire is referred to herein as the “Two Year Anniversary Date”. For so
long as the Vesting Conditions continue to be satisfied by you, the period during which you fulfill your obligations
under the Non-Compete Agreement shall be deemed to be “Continuous Service” under the terms of any equity-based
compensation held by you, and such equity-based compensation shall continue to vest in accordance with its terms during
such period. All equity-based compensation that does not vest as provided in the immediately preceding sentence shall
be cancelled. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Vesting Conditions shall not be met if
your employment is terminated at any time by the Company for Cause, including after the Minimum Employment Date.

For the purpose of clarity, except as set forth in the Employment Agreement and this letter agreement, you shall not be
entitled to any other special rights or benefits, and this letter does not obligate the Company in any way to maintain
a relationship with you through the Minimum Employment Date or any other date.

Regards,

UTi Worldwide Inc.
