(1) | Each phantom unit award includes a distribution equivalent right ("DER"), which entitles the recipient to receive cash payments equal to the product of the number of phantom unit awards and the cash distribution per unit paid to EPD’s common unitholders. Cash payments made in connection with DERs are nonforfeitable. As a result, the phantom units are considered participating securities for purposes of computing basic earnings per unit.
