         The words and phrases defined in this Article shall have the meaning
set out in these definitions throughout the Plan, unless the context in which

the baseline for purposes of determining whether there has been improvement in
the economic performance of the Partnership. The Benchmark shall be the Economic
Value Added for the three-year period immediately preceding the Performance
Period, as determined by the Committee (calculated as if the references to
"Performance Period" in the definitions of "Economic Value Added", "Average
Asset Base" and "Cost of Capital" were references to the three-year period
immediately preceding the applicable Performance Period).

         2.6    "BOARD" means the board of directors of TEPPCO.

         2.7    "CAUSE" means (a) the willful and continued failure by the
Grantee to substantially perform his duties with TEPPCO or its Affiliates (other

has not substantially performed his duties; (b) the willful engaging by the
Grantee in gross misconduct materially and demonstrably injurious to the
property or business of TEPPCO or any of its Affiliates; or (c) the willful
material violation of any TEPPCO policies regarding the protection of
confidential and/or proprietary information or the material violation of any
non-compete agreement between the Grantee and TEPPCO. For purposes of this
definition, no act or failure to act on the Grantee's part will be considered
willful unless done or omitted to be done, by him not in good faith and without
reasonable belief that his action or omission was in the best interests of
TEPPCO or its Affiliates or not opposed to the interests of TEPPCO or its
Affiliates.

                                   ARTICLE IV

                       CALCULATION AND PAYMENT OF BENEFITS

        4.1     PERIODIC PAYMENTS. Each time a cash distribution is paid to a
Unit owner during the Performance Period for which an Award was granted to a
Grantee, TEPPCO shall pay to the Grantee, if the Grantee is then an Employee, an
amount equal to the product of the number of Long Term Incentive Units granted
under the Award and the amount of the cash distribution paid per Unit by the
Partnership.

        4.2     TERMINAL VALUE PAYMENTS. Except as otherwise specified in an
Award Agreement pursuant to Section 4.3, as soon as administratively practicable
after the end of the Performance Period, the Committee shall determine the
amount of Economic Value Added during the Performance Period. Then, unless the
Grantee has incurred a Separation From Service during the Performance Period due
to his resignation (other than as a result of his death, Disability or
Retirement) or due to the termination of his employment by TEPPCO for Cause, the
Committee shall determine the amount of a Grantee's Vested Interest in his Award
granted for the Performance Period. If the Grantee is an Employee on the last
day of the Performance Period, as soon as administratively practicable after the
Performance Period, subject to the following provisions of this Section 4.2,
TEPPCO shall pay the Grantee an amount equal to the product of (A), (B) and (C)
where (A) is Grantee's Vested Interest in his Award, (B) is the number of the
Grantee's Long Term Incentive Units granted under his Award, and (C) is the Fair
Market Value of a Unit. If the Grantee incurs a Separation From Service during
the Performance Period as a result of his death, Disability or Retirement, then
as soon as administratively practicable after the Performance Period, subject to
the following provisions of this Section 4.2, TEPPCO shall pay to the Grantee
(or in the event of the Grantee's death, his Spouse or estate, as applicable) an
amount equal to the product of the amount determined under the preceding
sentence and a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days that have
elapsed during the Performance Period prior to the Grantee's Separation From
Service and the denominator of which is the number of days in the Performance
Period. Except as expressly provided otherwise in an Award Agreement, if TEPPCO
does not have sufficient funds to satisfy its obligations under an Award
immediately after the expiration of the applicable Performance Period, TEPPCO
shall pay to the Grantee amounts due under this Section 4.2 if, as and when
TEPPCO has sufficient funds to make payments under the Award. Except as
expressly provided otherwise in an Award Agreement, TEPPCO shall not be
obligated to borrow funds or use borrowed funds to satisfy its obligations under
this Section 4.2.

        4.3     CHANGE IN CONTROL.  The Committee may specify in an Award
Agreement the effect of a Change in Control on an Award.

        4.4     FORM OF PAYMENT UNDER AN AWARD.  All payments under Awards shall
be in the form of cash.

        4.5     NO INTEREST ON AWARD.  No interest shall be credited with
respect to any Award or any payment under an Award.

                                      IV-1

<PAGE>   12

        4.6     PAYMENT(S) ON DEATH OF GRANTEE. Upon the death of a Grantee
before he has been paid his entire benefits under his Award, his benefits under
his Award shall be paid to the Grantee's Spouse if the Spouse survives the
Grantee, or to the Grantee's estate if the Grantee's Spouse does not survive the
Grantee. Any payment under this Section 4.6 shall be made at the same time the
payment would have been made to the Grantee if he had been alive.

        4.7     FORFEITURE FOR CAUSE. Notwithstanding any other provisions of
the Plan, if the Committee finds by a majority vote after full consideration of
the facts that a Grantee was discharged from the employ of TEPPCO or an
Affiliate for Cause, the Grantee shall forfeit all outstanding Awards. The
decision of the Committee as to the cause of the Grantee's discharge shall be
final. No decision of the Committee shall affect the finality of the discharge
of the Grantee.

        4.8     ADJUSTMENTS DUE TO CHANGES IN THE PARTNERSHIP'S OR TEPPCO'S
CAPITAL STRUCTURE. If the Partnership shall effect a subdivision or
consolidation of Units or other capital readjustment, or other increase or
reduction of the number of Units outstanding, without receiving compensation for
it in money, services or property, then the number of Long Term Incentive Units
subject to outstanding Awards under the Plan shall be appropriately adjusted by
the Committee in such a manner as to entitle a Grantee to receive the equivalent
compensation he would have received under the Award had there been no event
requiring the adjustment.

         If while Awards remain outstanding under the Plan (a) the Partnership
or TEPPCO shall not be the surviving entity in any merger, consolidation or
other reorganization (or survives only as a subsidiary of an entity other than
an entity that was wholly-owned by the Partnership or TEPPCO immediately prior
to such merger, consolidation or other reorganization), (b) the Partnership or
TEPPCO sells, leases or exchanges or agrees to sell, lease or exchange all or
substantially all of its assets to any other person or entity (other than an
entity wholly-owned by the Partnership or TEPPCO), (c) the Partnership or TEPPCO
is to be dissolved, or (d) the Partnership or TEPPCO is a party to any other
corporate transaction (as defined under Section 424(a) of the Code and
applicable Department of Treasury Regulations) that is not described in clauses

                                 ADMINISTRATION

        5.1     GENERAL. The Plan shall be administered by the Committee. All
questions of interpretation and application of the Plan and Awards shall be
subject to the determination of the Committee. A majority of the members of the
Committee shall constitute a quorum. All determinations of the Committee shall
be made by a majority of its members. Any decision or determination reduced to
writing and signed by a majority of the members shall be as effective as if it
had been made by a majority vote at a meeting properly called and held.

        5.2     POWERS OF COMMITTEE. The Committee shall have the exclusive
responsibility for the general administration of the Plan according to the terms
and provisions of the Plan and will have all the powers necessary to accomplish
those purposes, including but not by way of limitation the right, power and
authority:

        (a)     to make rules, regulations and administrative guidelines for the
                administration of the Plan;

        (b)     to construe all terms, provisions, conditions and limitations of
                the Plan;

        (c)     to correct any defect, supply any omission or reconcile any
                inconsistency that may appear in the Plan in the manner
                and to the extent it deems expedient to carry the Plan into
                effect for the greatest benefit of all parties at interest;

        (d)     to determine all controversies relating to the administration of
                the Plan, including but not limited to:

               (1)  differences of opinion arising between TEPPCO and a Grantee;
                    and

               (2)  any question it deems advisable to determine in order to
                    promote the uniform administration of the Plan for the
                    benefit of all parties at interest;

        (e)     to determine the Employees who shall participate in the Plan
                from time to time;

        (f)     to determine the number of Long Term Incentive Units to be
                awarded to each Grantee; and

        (g)     to determine the terms and conditions, if any, not inconsistent
                with the terms of the Plan that are to be placed upon the Award
                or Awards given to a particular Grantee.

        5.3     COMMITTEE DISCRETION. The Committee in exercising any power or
authority granted under the Plan or in making any determination under the Plan
shall perform or refrain

                                       V-1

<PAGE>   14

from performing those acts in its sole discretion and judgment. Any decision
made by the Committee or any refraining to act or any act taken by the Committee
in good faith shall be final and binding on all parties. The Committee's
decisions shall never be subject to de novo review, but instead shall only be
overturned if found to be arbitrary or capricious by an arbitrator or a court of
law.

        5.4     DISQUALIFICATION OF COMMITTEE MEMBER.  A member of the Committee
shall not vote or act on any Plan matter relating solely to himself.

                                       V-2

                        AMENDMENT OR TERMINATION OF PLAN

         The Board may amend, terminate or suspend the Plan at any time, in its
sole and absolute discretion. However, no amendment or termination of the Plan
may, without the consent of a Grantee, reduce the Grantee's right to a payment
under the Plan that he is entitled to receive under the terms of the Plan in
effect prior to the amendment or termination.

                                     FUNDING

        7.1     PAYMENTS UNDER THE PLAN ARE THE OBLIGATION OF TEPPCO.  Benefits
due under the Plan will be paid by TEPPCO.

        7.2     GRANTEES MUST RELY SOLELY ON THE GENERAL CREDIT OF TEPPCO. The
Plan is only a general corporate commitment of TEPPCO and each Grantee must rely
solely upon the general credit of TEPPCO for the fulfillment of its obligations
hereunder. Under all circumstances the rights of the Grantee to any asset held
by TEPPCO will be no greater than the rights expressed in the Plan. Nothing
contained in the Plan or an Award will constitute a guarantee by TEPPCO that the
assets of TEPPCO will be sufficient to pay any benefits under the Plan or would
place the Grantee in a secured position ahead of general creditors of TEPPCO;
the Grantees are only unsecured creditors of TEPPCO with respect to their Plan
benefits and the Plan constitutes a mere promise by TEPPCO to make benefit
payments in the future. No specific assets of TEPPCO have been or will be set
aside, or will be pledged in any way for the performance of TEPPCO's obligations
under the Plan which would remove such assets from being subject to the general
creditors of TEPPCO.

        7.3     UNFUNDED ARRANGEMENT.  It is intended that the Plan shall be
unfunded for tax purposes and for purposes of Title of the Employee Retirement
Income Security Act of 1974, as amended.

                                  MISCELLANEOUS

        8.1     NO EMPLOYMENT OBLIGATION. The granting of any Award shall not
constitute an employment contract, express or implied, nor impose upon TEPPCO or
any Affiliate any obligation to employ or continue to employ the Grantee. The
right of TEPPCO or any Affiliate to terminate the employment of any person shall
not be diminished or affected by reason of the fact that an Award has been
granted to him.

        8.2     TAX WITHHOLDING. TEPPCO shall be entitled to deduct from the
Award or other compensation payable to each Grantee any sums required by
federal, state, or local tax law to be withheld with respect to payments under
an Award.

        8.3     INDEMNIFICATION OF THE COMMITTEE. TEPPCO shall indemnify each
present and future member of the Committee against, and each member of the
Committee shall be entitled without further act on his part to indemnity from
TEPPCO for, all expenses (including attorney's fees, the amount of judgments and
the amount of approved settlements made with a view to the curtailment of costs
of litigation, other than amounts paid to TEPPCO itself) reasonably incurred by
him in connection with or arising out of any action, suit, or proceeding in
which he may be involved by reason of his being or having been a member of the
Committee, whether or not he continues to be a member of the Committee at the
time of incurring the expenses -- including, without limitation, matters as to
which he shall be finally adjudged in any action, suit or proceeding to have
been found to have been negligent in the performance of his duty as a member of
the Committee. However, this indemnity shall not include any expenses incurred
by any member of the Committee in respect of matters as to which he shall be
finally adjudged in any action, suit or proceeding to have been guilty of gross
negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of his duty as a member of
the Committee. In addition, no right of indemnification under the Plan shall be
available to or enforceable by any member of the Committee unless, within 60
days after institution of any action, suit or proceeding, he shall have offered
TEPPCO, in writing, the opportunity to handle and defend same at its own
expense. This right of indemnification shall inure to the benefit of the heirs,
executors or administrators of each member of the Committee and shall be in
addition to all other rights to which a member of the Committee may be entitled
as a matter of law, contract, or otherwise.

        8.4     GENDER AND NUMBER. If the context requires, words of one gender
when used in the Plan shall include the other and words used in the singular or
plural shall include the other.

        8.5     HEADINGS. Headings of Articles and Sections are included for
convenience of reference only and do not constitute part of the Plan and shall
not be used in construing the terms of the Plan.

        8.6     OTHER COMPENSATION PLANS. The adoption and maintenance of the
Plan shall not affect any other stock option, incentive or other compensation or
benefit plans in effect for TEPPCO or any Affiliate or preclude TEPPCO from
establishing any other forms of incentive or other compensation for employees of
TEPPCO or any Affiliate.

                                     VIII-1

<PAGE>   18

        8.7     RIGHTS OF COMPANY AND AFFILIATES. The existence of Long Term
  Incentive Units shall not affect in any way the right or power of TEPPCO or an
Affiliate to (a) make or authorize any or all adjustments, recapitalizations,
reorganizations or other changes in TEPPCO's or an Affiliate's structure or
business, (b) approve and consummate any merger or consolidation of TEPPCO or an
Affiliate with or into any entity, (c) issue any bonds, debentures or Company or
Affiliate interests of any nature whatsoever to any person, (d) approve and
consummate the dissolution or liquidation of TEPPCO or an Affiliate or any sale
or transfer of all or any part of TEPPCO's or an Affiliate's assets or business
or (e) approve and consummate any other act or proceeding whether of a similar
character or otherwise.

        8.8     NONALIENATION OF BENEFITS. No benefit provided under the Plan
shall be transferable by the Grantee except pursuant to a state domestic
relations order. No right or benefit under the Plan shall be subject to
anticipation, alienation, sale, assignment, pledge, encumbrance or charge. Any
attempt to anticipate, alienate, sell, assign, pledge, encumber or charge any
right or benefit under the Plan shall be void. No right or benefit under the
Plan shall, in any manner, be liable for or subject to any debts, contracts,
liabilities or torts of the person entitled to the right or benefit. If any
Grantee becomes bankrupt or attempts to anticipate, alienate, assign, pledge,
sell, encumber or charge any right or benefit under the Plan then the right or
benefit shall, in the discretion of the Committee, cease. In that event, TEPPCO
and/or one or more Affiliates may hold or apply the right or benefit or any part
of the right or benefit for the benefit of the Grantee, his or her spouse,
children or other dependents or any of them in the manner and in the proportion
that the Committee shall deem proper, in its sole discretion, but is not
required to do so. The restrictions in this Section 8.8 shall not apply to state
domestic relations orders.

        8.9     NO RIGHTS AS AN OWNER. No Grantee shall have any rights as a
Unit owner as a result of his Award. No Award will permit any Grantee to
exercise any managerial rights or powers with respect to TEPPCO, the Partnership
or any Affiliate.

        8.10    GOVERNING LAW.  The validity, interpretation, construction and
enforceability of the Plan shall be governed by the laws of the State of Texas.

is the Actuarial Equivalent of the Participant's Accrued Benefit payable at the
time and in the form specified in Sections 4.02 and 4.03.

         (b) Any Other Participant.

         If a Participant incurs his Separation From Service before he has

been paid his retirement benefit under the Plan, there shall be no death benefit
payable with respect to the Participant.

         4.02 TIME OF PAYMENT OF DEATH BENEFIT. A Participant's death benefit
under the Plan, if any, shall be paid to the Participant's Beneficiary as soon
as administratively feasible after the date on which the Participant dies.

payable to a Beneficiary under the Plan shall be paid in a single payment in

file and the Participant is not considered to be married under applicable local
law at the time of his death, the Participant's Beneficiary shall be the
executor, administrator or other personal representative of the Participant's
estate. If a Participant is considered to be married under applicable local law
at the time of his death, his Spouse shall be his Beneficiary, and his
designation of any other Beneficiary shall not be valid.

                                   ARTICLE V

                                     VESTING

         5.01 GENERAL. Subject to Sections 5.03 and 5.04, a Participant has a
nonforfeitable interest in his benefit under the Plan when he (a) completes five
full years of Vesting Service, (b) attains his Normal Retirement Age on or prior
to the date of his Separation From Service, (c) incurs a Disability prior to his
Separation From Service, or (d) incurs a Separation From Service due to death.
Prior to the occurrence of any of the foregoing four events, a Participant has
no vested interest in his Plan benefit and neither he nor his Spouse or
Beneficiary shall be entitled to any payment under the Plan upon or following
the Participant's Separation From Service.

         5.02 FORFEITURE UPON SEPARATION FROM SERVICE. If a Participant incurs a
Separation From Service at a time when he does not have a nonforfeitable
interest in his Plan benefit, his Plan benefit shall be immediately forfeited.

         5.03 COMPLETE FORFEITURE FOR CAUSE. Notwithstanding Section 5.01 of the
Plan, if the Committee finds by a majority vote after full consideration of the
facts that a Participant was discharged from the employ of TEPPCO or an
Affiliate for Cause, the Participant shall immediately forfeit his Plan benefit
to the extent he has not yet been paid his Plan benefit. The decision of the
Committee as to the cause of the Participant's discharge shall be final. No
decision of the Committee shall affect the finality of the discharge of the
Participant.

         5.04 ACCELERATED VESTING UPON CHANGE OF CONTROL. Notwithstanding any
other provisions of the Plan, if a Change of Control occurs prior to a
Participant's Separation From Service, such Participant shall have a fully
nonforfeitable interest in his Plan benefit.

                            PLAN COMMITTEE PROCEDURE

         6.01 COMMITTEE. The Plan shall be administered by the Committee.

         6.02 GENERAL RIGHTS, POWERS AND DUTIES OF THE COMMITTEE. The Committee
shall be responsible for the management, operation and administration of the
Plan. In addition to any powers, rights and duties set forth elsewhere in the
Plan, it shall have the following powers and duties:

         (a) to adopt such rules and regulations consistent with the provisions
of the Plan as it deems necessary for the proper and efficient administration of
the Plan;

                                       6
<PAGE>   11
         (b) to enforce the Plan in accordance with its terms and any rules and
regulations it establishes;

         (c) to maintain records concerning the Plan sufficient to prepare
reports, returns and other information required by the Plan or by law;

         (d) to construe and interpret the Plan and to resolve all questions
arising under the Plan;

         (e) to direct the Employers to pay benefits under the Plan, and to give
such other directions and instructions as may be necessary for the proper
administration of the Plan;

         (f) to employ or retain agents, attorneys, actuaries, accountants or
other persons, who may also be employed by or represent TEPPCO, and

         (g) to be responsible for the preparation, filing and disclosure on
behalf of the Plan of such documents and reports as are required by any
applicable federal or state law.

         The Committee shall have no power to add to, subtract from or modify
         any of the terms of the Plan, or to change or add to any benefits
         provided by the Plan, or to waive or fail to apply any requirements of
         eligibility for benefits under the Plan.

         6.03 RULES AND DECISIONS. The Committee may adopt such rules and
actuarial tables as it deems necessary, desirable or appropriate. All rules and
decisions of the Committee shall be uniformly and consistently applied to all
Participants in similar circumstances. When making a determination or
calculation, the Committee shall be entitled to rely upon information furnished
to it by a Participant, or Beneficiary, an Employer, or an Employer's actuary or
accountant.

         6.04 COMMITTEE PROCEDURES. The Committee may act at a meeting or in
writing without a meeting. The Committee shall elect one of its members as
chairman and appoint a secretary, who may or may not be a Committee member. The
Secretary shall keep a record of all meetings and forward all necessary
communications to the Employers. The Committee may adopt such bylaws and
regulations as it deems desirable for the conduct of its affairs. All decisions
of the Committee shall be made by the vote of the majority, including actions in
writing taken without a meeting. A dissenting Committee member who, within a
reasonable time after he has knowledge of any action or failure to act by the
majority, registers his dissent in writing delivered to the other Committee
members and TEPPCO, shall not, to the extent permitted by law, be responsible
for any such action or failure to act.

         6.05 AUTHORIZATION OF BENEFIT PAYMENTS. The Committee shall issue
directions to the Employers concerning all benefits which are to be paid by them
pursuant to the provisions of the Plan. The Employers shall furnish the
Committee such data and information as it may require. The records of the
Employers shall be determinative of each Participant's period of employment,
termination of employment and the reason therefor, leave of absence,
reemployment, and years of Service. Participants and their beneficiaries shall
furnish to the Committee such evidence, data, or information, and execute such
documents, as the Committee requests.

<PAGE>   12
         6.06 APPLICATION AND FORMS OF BENEFITS. The Committee may require a
Participant or former Participant to complete and file with the Committee an
application for retirement benefits and all other forms approved by the
Committee, and to furnish all pertinent information requested by the Committee.
The Committee may rely upon all such information so furnished it, including the
Participant's or former Participant's current mailing address.

         6.07 FACILITY OF PAYMENT. Whenever, in the Committee's opinion, a
person entitled to receive any payment of a benefit or installment thereof
hereunder is under a legal disability or is incapacitated in any way so as to be
unable to manage his financial affairs, the Committee may direct the Employer to
make payments to such person or to his legal representative or to a relative or
friend of such person for his benefit, or the Committee may direct the Employer
to apply the payment for the benefit of such person in such manner as the
Committee considers advisable. Any payment of a benefit or installment thereof
in accordance with the provisions of this Section shall be a complete discharge
of any liabilities for the making of such payment under the provisions of the
Plan.

         6.08 CLAIMS PROCEDURE. The Committee shall make all determinations as
to the right of any person to receive benefits under the Plan. Any denial by the
Committee of a claim for benefits under the Plan by a Participant or his Spouse
or Beneficiary (collectively referred to herein as "Claimant") shall be stated
in writing by the Committee and delivered or mailed to the Claimant on the 90th
day after receipt of the claim, unless special circumstances require an
extension of time for processing the claim. If such an extension of time is
required, written notice of the extension shall be furnished to the Claimant on
the 90th day after receipt of the claim and the claim shall thereafter be paid
on the 180th day after the date of receipt of the initial claim. Such notice
shall set forth the specific reasons for the denial, specific reference to
pertinent provisions of the Plan upon which the denial is based, a description
of any additional material or information necessary for the Claimant to perfect
his claim with an explanation of why such material or information is necessary,
and an explanation of claim review procedures under the Plan written to the best
of the Committee's ability in a manner that may be understood without legal or
actuarial counsel. A Claimant whose claim for benefits has been wholly or
partially denied by the Committee may, within 90 days following the date of such
denial, request a review of such denial in a writing addressed to the Committee.
The Claimant shall be entitled to submit such issues or comments, in writing or
otherwise, as he shall consider relevant to a determination of his claim, and
may include in his request a request for a hearing in person before the
Committee. Prior to submitting his request, the Claimant shall be entitled to
review such documents as the Committee shall agree are pertinent to his claim.
The Claimant may, at all stages of review, be represented by counsel, legal or
otherwise, of his choice, provided that the fees and expenses of such counsel
shall be borne by the Claimant. All requests for review shall be promptly
resolved. The Committee's decisions with respect to any such review shall be set
forth in writing and shall be mailed to the Claimant on the 60th day following
receipt by the Committee of the Claimant's request unless special circumstances,
such as the need to hold a hearing, require an extension of time for processing,
in which case the Committee's decision shall be so mailed on the 120th day after
receipt of such request.

         6.09 RESPONSIBILITY. No member of the Committee or of the Board shall
be liable to any person for any action taken or omitted in connection with the
administration of the Plan unless attributable to his own fraud or willful
misconduct; nor shall an Employer be liable to any

                                       8
<PAGE>   13
person for any such action unless attributable to fraud or willful misconduct on
the part of a director, officer or employee of such Employer.

                                  ARTICLE VII

                            AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION

         7.01 RIGHT TO AMEND THE PLAN. TEPPCO has the sole right to amend the
Plan. An amendment must be (1) in writing, (2) executed by an authorized officer
of TEPPCO, and (3) authorized by resolutions of the Board. Notice of any such
amendment shall be given in writing to the Committee and to each Participant,
former Participant, and Beneficiary of a deceased former Participant. No such
amendment, however, shall have the effect of reducing that portion of the
benefit the Participant or former Participant ultimately becomes entitled to
below that amount he would have received for service to the date of the
amendment under the formula set out in the Plan prior to the amendment.

         7.02 RIGHT TO TERMINATE THE PLAN. The Board reserves the right to
terminate the accrual or vesting of additional benefits under the Plan by any or
all Participants at any time by written notice to the Committee. The Committee
shall notify any Participant affected by such termination of such action and its
effective date. A Participant whose accrual of additional benefits is terminated
shall not lose any previously earned and vested benefits, and any such vested
benefits shall be payable at the time and in the manner provided in Articles III
and IV.

                                  ARTICLE VIII

                                     FUNDING

         8.01 PAYMENTS UNDER THE PLAN ARE THE OBLIGATION OF THE EMPLOYERS.
Benefits due under the Plan will be paid by the Employers.

         8.02 PARTICIPANTS MUST RELY SOLELY ON THE GENERAL CREDIT OF THE
EMPLOYERS. The Plan is only a general corporate commitment of the Employers and
each Participant must rely solely upon the general credit of his Employer for
the fulfillment of its obligations hereunder. Under all circumstances the rights
of the Participant to any asset held by the Employers will be no greater than
the rights expressed in the Plan. Nothing contained in the Plan will constitute
a guarantee by the Employers that the assets of the Employers will be sufficient
to pay any benefits under the Plan or would place the Participant in a secured
position ahead of general creditors of the Employers; the Participants are only
unsecured creditors of the Employers with respect to their Plan benefits and the
Plan constitutes a mere promise by the Employers to make benefit payments in the
future. No specific assets of the Employers have been or will be set aside, or
will be pledged in any way for the performance of the Employers' obligations
under the Plan which would remove such assets from being subject to the general
creditors of the Employers.

         8.03 UNFUNDED ARRANGEMENT. It is intended that the Plan shall be
unfunded for tax purposes and for purposes of Title of the Employee Retirement
Income Security Act of 1974, as amended.

                                       9

                                   ARTICLE IX

                       ADOPTION OF PLAN BY OTHER EMPLOYERS

         9.01 ADOPTION PROCEDURE. Any Affiliate may, with the approval of the
Board, adopt the Plan by a certified resolution or consent of the board of
directors of the adopting Affiliate or an executed adoption instrument (approved
by the board of directors of the adopting Affiliate) agreeing to be bound as an
Employer by all the terms, conditions and limitations of the instrument and by
furnishing all information required by the Committee. The terms of the Plan will
apply separately to each Affiliate that adopts the Plan except that the powers
of the Board and the Committee under the Plan shall be exercised solely by the
Board and the Committee. TEPPCO and each Affiliate that adopts the Plan shall
bear the cost of providing Plan benefits for its own Participants. The
obligation of each Employer with respect to its Participants shall be the sole
obligation of the Employer that is employing the Participant and shall not bind
any other Employer.

         9.02 NO JOINT VENTURE IMPLIED. The adoption of the Plan by an Employer
shall not create a joint venture or partnership relation between it and any
other Employer. Any rights, duties, liabilities, and obligations assumed by an
Employer, imposed upon it or resulting from the terms of the Plan, shall relate
to that Employer alone.

         9.03 EXPENSES TO BE SHARED. Each Employer shall pay a proportionate
part of the cost of actuarial and other necessary expenses incurred in its
administration.

         9.04 TRANSFERS AMONG EMPLOYERS. If a Participant is employed by more
than one Employer during the term of his participation in the Plan, the costs of
providing Plan benefits for such Participant shall be apportioned among the
Employers as determined by the Committee based upon the years of service for
benefit accrual purposes under the Qualified Plan performed by the Participant
for each Employer and the compensation taken into account under the Plan paid to
such Participant by each Employer.

         9.05 TERMINATION OF PARTICIPATION BY AN AFFILIATE. Any Affiliate that
adopts the Plan may, by appropriate action of its board of directors, terminate
its participation in the Plan. The Committee may, in its discretion, also
terminate an Affiliate's participation in the Plan at any time. The termination
of the participation in the Plan by an Affiliate shall not, however, affect the
rights of any Participant who is working or has worked for the Affiliate as to
his amounts accrued under the Plan prior to the termination of participation.

                                   ARTICLE X

                                  MISCELLANEOUS

         10.01 INALIENABILITY OF BENEFITS. The right of any Participant, former
Participant or beneficiary to any benefit or payment under the Plan shall not be
subject to voluntary or involuntary transfer, alienation, pledge, assignment,
garnishment, sequestration or other legal or equitable process. Any attempt to
transfer, alienate, pledge, assign or otherwise dispose of such

                                       10
<PAGE>   15
right or any attempt to subject such right to attachment, execution,
garnishment, sequestration or other legal or equitable process shall be null and
void.

         10.02 NO IMPLIED RIGHTS. Neither the establishment of the Plan nor any
modification thereof shall be construed as giving any Participant, former
Participant, beneficiary or other person any legal or equitable right unless
such right shall be specifically provided for in the Plan or conferred by
affirmative action of TEPPCO in accordance with the terms and provisions of the
Plan.

         10.03 BINDING EFFECT. The provisions of the Plan shall be binding on
the Employers, the Committee, and all persons entitled to benefits under the
Plan, together with their respective heirs, legal representatives and successors
in interest.

         10.04 NUMBER AND GENDER. Wherever appropriate, the singular shall
include the plural, the plural shall include the singular, and the masculine
shall include the feminine or neuter.

         10.05 GOVERNING LAW. The Plan shall be construed and administered
according to the laws of the State of Texas.

         IN WITNESS WHEREOF, effective April 1, 2000, TEPPCO has adopted the
Plan on the 27th day of December, 2000.
