Parent-Subsidiary Guarantor Relationships
Enterprise Products Partners L.P. acts as guarantor of the consolidated debt obligations of EPO, with the exception of the remaining immaterial debt obligations of TEPPCO.  If EPO were to default on any of its guaranteed debt, Enterprise Products Partners L.P. would be responsible for full and unconditional repayment of that obligation.

Issuance of $2.5 Billion of Senior Notes in May 2015
In May 2015, EPO issued $750 million in principal amount of 1.65% senior notes due May 2018 (“Senior Notes OO”), $875 million in principal amount of 3.70% senior notes due February 2026 (“Senior Notes PP”) and $875 million in principal amount of 4.90% senior notes due May 2046 (“Senior Notes QQ”).  Senior Notes OO, PP and QQ were issued at 99.881%, 99.635% and 99.635% of their principal amounts, respectively.

Net proceeds from the issuance of these senior notes were used as follows: (i) the repayment of amounts outstanding under EPO’s commercial paper program, which included amounts we used to repay $250 million in principal amount of Senior Notes I that matured in March 2015, (ii) the repayment of amounts outstanding at the maturity of our $400 million in principal amount of Senior Notes X that matured in June 2015 and (iii) for general company purposes.

Enterprise Products Partners L.P. has unconditionally guaranteed these senior notes on an unsecured and unsubordinated basis.  These senior notes rank equal with EPO’s existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness and are senior to any existing and future subordinated indebtedness of EPO.  These senior notes are subject to make-whole redemption rights and were issued under an indenture containing certain covenants, which generally restrict EPO’s ability (with certain exceptions) to incur debt secured by liens and engage in sale and leaseback transactions.

Partial Retirement of Junior Subordinated Notes During Third Quarter of 2015
During the third quarter of 2015, EPO retired $28.1 million of its Junior Subordinated Notes A and $26.3 million of its Junior Subordinated Notes C with cash from operations.  A $1.4 million gain on the extinguishment of these debt obligations is included in “Other, net” on our Unaudited Condensed Statements of Consolidated Operations.

364-Day Credit Agreement
In September 2015, EPO amended its 364-Day Credit Agreement to extend its maturity date to September 2016.  There are currently no principal amounts outstanding under this revolving credit agreement.  Under the terms of the 364-Day Credit Agreement, EPO may borrow up to $1.5 billion (which may be increased by up to $200 million to $1.7 billion at EPO’s election, provided certain conditions are met) at a variable interest rate for a term of 364 days, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein.  To the extent that principal amounts are outstanding at the maturity date, EPO may elect to have the entire principal balance then outstanding continued as a non-revolving term loan for a period of one additional year, payable in September 2017. The remaining terms of the 364-Day Credit Agreement, as amended, remain materially the same as those reported for the 364-Day Credit Agreement in our 2014 Form 10-K.

Multi-Year Revolving Credit Facility
In September 2015, EPO amended its Multi-Year Revolving Credit Facility to increase its borrowing capacity from $3.5 billion to $4.0 billion and extend its maturity date from June 2018 to September 2020.  The amended agreement also provides that EPO may increase its borrowing capacity to $4.5 billion by allowing existing lenders under the facility to increase their respective commitments or by adding one or more new lenders to the facility. The remaining terms of the Multi-Year Revolving Credit Facility, as amended, remain materially the same as those reported for the Multi-Year Revolving Credit Facility in our 2014 Form 10-K.

Letters of Credit
At September 30, 2015, EPO had $2.5 million of letters of credit outstanding related to operations at our facilities and motor fuel tax obligations.

Lender Financial Covenants
We were in compliance with the financial covenants of our consolidated debt agreements at September 30, 2015.
