Partnership Agreement

Enterprise Products Partners L.P. is a limited partnership organized under the laws of the state of Delaware. The principal organizational document of a limited partnership is its Agreement of Limited Partnership. Our partnership agreement provides that our business and affairs will be managed and directed by our general partner, and the limited partners will have no role in such activities. Our general partner is Enterprise Products Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company. The general partner's directors and officers are in charge of the limited partnership and, respectively, provide oversight of and make the decisions for its management and operation, and they cause the general partner to act on behalf of the partnership. Our partnership agreement is the foundation governance document for our partnership. It sets forth the basic structure, organization and governance rules for our organization, and it functions in much the same way as do articles of incorporation and by-laws for a corporation.
