(1)	Determined by dividing the aggregate grant date fair value of awards (before an allowance for forfeitures) by the number of awards issued.
(2)	The aggregate grant date fair value of phantom unit awards issued during 2017 was $123.1 million based on a grant date market price of EPD common units ranging from $24.55 to $28.87 per unit.  An estimated annual forfeiture rate of 3.8% was applied to these awards.
(3)	The aggregate grant date fair value of phantom unit awards issued during 2018 was $134.3 million based on a grant date market price of EPD common units ranging from $25.40 to $29.22 per unit.  An estimated annual forfeiture rate of 3.2% was applied to these awards.
(4)	The aggregate grant date fair value of phantom unit awards issued during 2019 was $190.2 million based on a grant date market price of EPD common units ranging from $26.32 to $29.29 per unit.  An estimated annual forfeiture rate of 3.0% was applied to these awards.

The following table summarizes key elements of each Employee Partnership as of December 31, 2019:

Employee Partnership	EPD Common Units Contributed to Employee Partnership by EPCO Holdings	Class A Capital      Base (1)	Class A Preference Return	Expected Vesting/ Liquidation Date	Estimated Grant Date Fair Value of Profits Interest   Awards (2)	Unrecognized Compensation   Cost (3)
PubCo I	2,723,052	$63.7 million	0.3900	February 2020	$12.9 million	$0.8 million
PubCo II	2,834,198	$66.3 million	0.3900	February 2021	$14.9 million	$4.0 million
PrivCo I	1,111,438	$26.0 million	0.3900	February 2021	$5.8 million	$0.3 million
EPD IV	6,400,000	$172.9 million	0.4325	December 2023	$26.7 million	$18.4 million
EPCO II	1,600,000	$43.2 million	0.4325	December 2023	$6.6 million	$0.5 million

(1)	Represents the fair market value of EPD common units contributed to each Employee Partnership at the applicable contribution date.
(2)	Represents the total grant date fair value of the profits interest awards awarded to the Class B limited partners of each Employee Partnership irrespective of how such costs will be allocated between us and EPCO and its privately held affiliates.
(3)	Represents our expected share of the unrecognized compensation cost at December 31, 2019. We expect to recognize our share of the unrecognized compensation cost for PubCo II, PrivCo I, EPD IV and EPCO II over a weighted-average period of 1.1 years, 1.1 years, 3.9 years and 3.9 years, respectively.  The Class B limited partner interests of PubCo I vested on February 22, 2020.

The following table summarizes the assumptions we used in applying a Black-Scholes option pricing model to derive that portion of the estimated grant date fair value of the profits interest awards for each Employee Partnership:

	Expected	Risk-Free	Expected	Expected Unit
Employee	Life	Interest	Distribution	Price
Partnership	of Award	Rate	Yield	Volatility
PubCo I	4.0 years	0.9% to 2.7%	5.9% to 7.0%	15% to 40%
PubCo II	5.0 years	1.1% to 3.0%	5.9% to 7.0%	19% to 40%
PrivCo I	5.0 years	1.2% to 1.6%	6.1% to 6.7%	28% to 40%
EPD IV	5.0 years	2.8%	6.5%	27%
EPCO II	5.0 years	1.6% to 2.8%	6.3% to 6.8%	24% to 27%
