arising from any and all claims, demands, actions, suits or proceedings, whether civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative, in which any Indemnitee may be involved, or is threatened to be
involved, as a party or otherwise, by reason of its status as an Indemnitee; provided, that the
Indemnitee shall not be indemnified and held harmless if there has been a final and non-appealable
judgment entered by a court of competent jurisdiction determining that the Indemnitee acted in bad
faith or engaged in fraud, willful misconduct or, in the case of a criminal matter, acted with
knowledge that the Indemnitee&#146;s conduct was unlawful. Any indemnification pursuant to Section&nbsp;6.7
of the Partnership Agreement shall be made only out of the assets of the Partnership, and the
General Partner shall not be personally liable for such indemnification and shall have no
obligation to contribute or loan any monies or property to the Partnership to enable it to
effectuate such indemnification. An Indemnitee shall not be denied indemnification in whole or in
part because the Indemnitee had an interest in the transaction to which the indemnification applies
if the transaction was otherwise permitted by the Partnership Agreement.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;6.7(b) of the Partnership Agreement also states that to the fullest extent permitted

claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding shall, from time to time, be advanced by the Partnership
prior to the final disposition of such claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding upon receipt by
the Partnership of an undertaking by or on behalf of the Indemnitee to repay such amount if it
shall be determined that the Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified as authorized by the
Partnership Agreement.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;6.8(a) of the Partnership Agreement provides that no Indemnitee shall be liable for
monetary damages to the Partnership, the limited partners, the assignees or any other persons who
have acquired interests in the limited partner units or other securities of the Partnership, for
losses sustained or liabilities incurred as a result of any act or omission of an Indemnitee unless
there has been a final and non-appealable judgment entered by a court of competent jurisdiction
determining that, in respect of the matter in question, the Indemnitee acted in bad faith or
engaged in fraud, willful misconduct or, in the case of a criminal matter, acted with knowledge
that the Indemnitee&#146;s conduct was criminal. Further, Section&nbsp;6.8(b) of the Partnership Agreement
provides that the General Partner may exercise any of the powers granted to it by the Partnership
Agreement and perform any of the duties imposed upon it under the Partnership Agreement either
directly or by or through its agents, and the General Partner shall not be responsible for any
misconduct or negligence on the part of any such agent appointed by the General Partner in good
faith. The provisions of the indemnification provided in the Partnership Agreement are intended to
apply even if such provisions have the effect of exculpating the Indemnitee from legal
responsibility for the consequences of such person&#146;s negligence, fault or other conduct.

limited liability company to indemnify and hold harmless any member or manager or other person from

set forth in its limited liability company agreement. Section 14(a) of the Limited Liability
Company Agreement of the General Partner, as amended (the &#147;General Partner Agreement&#148;), provides
that, any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened,
pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative by reason of the fact that such person is or was, at any time prior to or during
which such section is in effect, a director or officer of the General Partner, or is or was, at any
time prior to or during which such section is in effect, serving at the request of the General
Partner as a director or officer of another corporation, partnership, limited liability company,
joint venture, trust, other enterprise or employee benefit plan shall be indemnified by the General
Partner against reasonable expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees), judgments, fines, penalties,
amounts paid in settlement and other liabilities actually and reasonably incurred by such person in
connection with such action, suit or proceeding to the full extent permitted by the Delaware
Limited Liability Company Act.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;14(b) of the General Partner Agreement also provides that expenses incurred by a
person who is or was a director or officer of the General Partner in appearing at, participating in
or defending any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil,
criminal, administrative or investigative, shall be paid by the General Partner at reasonable
intervals in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an
undertaking by or on behalf of the director or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately
be determined that he is not entitled to be indemnified as authorized by the General Partner
Agreement.

otherwise to the General Partner or the member for any act or omission on behalf of the General

effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective
amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental
change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the
total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered)
and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range
may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act if, in the aggregate,
the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum
aggregate offering price set forth in the &#147;Calculation of Registration Fee&#148; table in
the effective registration statement;

permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the
provisions described under Item&nbsp;6 above, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the
opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as
expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses
incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful
defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling
person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the
opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy
as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their reports, which are

Item 4. Description of Securities.
Not applicable.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
Not applicable.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Section 17-108 of the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act empowers a Delaware
limited partnership to indemnify and hold harmless any partner or other person from and against all
claims and demands whatsoever, subject to any standards or restrictions that may be set forth in
its partnership agreement. Section 6.7(a) of the Fourth Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited
Partnership (the "Partnership Agreement") of TEPPCO Partners, L.P. (the "Partnership") provides
that to the fullest extent permitted by law, (a) Texas Eastern Products Pipeline Company, LLC (and
its successors as general partner, the "General Partner"), any former general partner (a "Departing
Partner"), any person who is or was an affiliate of the General Partner or any Departing Partner,
(b) any person who is or was an officer, director, partner or trustee of the General Partner or any
Departing Partner or any affiliate of the General Partner or any Departing Partner, (c) any person
who is or was serving at the request of the General Partner or any affiliate of the General Partner
or any Departing Partner or any affiliate of any Departing Partner as a director, officer, partner
or trustee of another person, including TEPPCO GP, Inc., provided that any such person was not
providing, on a fee-for-service basis, trustee, fiduciary, or custodial services, or (d) any person
the General Partner designates (collectively, "Indemnitees"), shall be indemnified and held
harmless by the Partnership from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities
(joint or several), expenses (including
-2-
Table of Contents
legal fees and expenses), judgments, fines, penalties, interest, settlements and other amounts
arising from any and all claims, demands, actions, suits or proceedings, whether civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative, in which any Indemnitee may be involved, or is threatened to be
involved, as a party or otherwise, by reason of its status as an Indemnitee; provided, that the
Indemnitee shall not be indemnified and held harmless if there has been a final and non-appealable
judgment entered by a court of competent jurisdiction determining that the Indemnitee acted in bad
faith or engaged in fraud, willful misconduct or, in the case of a criminal matter, acted with
knowledge that the Indemnitee's conduct was unlawful. Any indemnification pursuant to Section 6.7
of the Partnership Agreement shall be made only out of the assets of the Partnership, and the
General Partner shall not be personally liable for such indemnification and shall have no
obligation to contribute or loan any monies or property to the Partnership to enable it to
effectuate such indemnification. An Indemnitee shall not be denied indemnification in whole or in
part because the Indemnitee had an interest in the transaction to which the indemnification applies
if the transaction was otherwise permitted by the Partnership Agreement.
Section 6.7(b) of the Partnership Agreement also states that to the fullest extent permitted
by law, expenses (including legal fees and expenses) incurred by an Indemnitee in defending any
claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding shall, from time to time, be advanced by the Partnership
prior to the final disposition of such claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding upon receipt by
the Partnership of an undertaking by or on behalf of the Indemnitee to repay such amount if it
shall be determined that the Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified as authorized by the
Partnership Agreement.
Section 6.8(a) of the Partnership Agreement provides that no Indemnitee shall be liable for
monetary damages to the Partnership, the limited partners, the assignees or any other persons who
have acquired interests in the limited partner units or other securities of the Partnership, for
losses sustained or liabilities incurred as a result of any act or omission of an Indemnitee unless
there has been a final and non-appealable judgment entered by a court of competent jurisdiction
determining that, in respect of the matter in question, the Indemnitee acted in bad faith or
engaged in fraud, willful misconduct or, in the case of a criminal matter, acted with knowledge
that the Indemnitee's conduct was criminal. Further, Section 6.8(b) of the Partnership Agreement
provides that the General Partner may exercise any of the powers granted to it by the Partnership
Agreement and perform any of the duties imposed upon it under the Partnership Agreement either
directly or by or through its agents, and the General Partner shall not be responsible for any
misconduct or negligence on the part of any such agent appointed by the General Partner in good
faith. The provisions of the indemnification provided in the Partnership Agreement are intended to
apply even if such provisions have the effect of exculpating the Indemnitee from legal
responsibility for the consequences of such person's negligence, fault or other conduct.
Additionally, Section 18-108 of the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act empowers a Delaware
limited liability company to indemnify and hold harmless any member or manager or other person from
and against all claims and demands whatsoever, subject to any standards or restrictions that may be
set forth in its limited liability company agreement. Section 14(a) of the Limited Liability
Company Agreement of the General Partner, as amended (the "General Partner Agreement"), provides
that, any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened,
pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative by reason of the fact that such person is or was, at any time prior to or during
which such section is in effect, a director or officer of the General Partner, or is or was, at any
time prior to or during which such section is in effect, serving at the request of the General
Partner as a director or officer of another corporation, partnership, limited liability company,
joint venture, trust, other enterprise or employee benefit plan shall be indemnified by the General
Partner against reasonable expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines, penalties,
amounts paid in settlement and other liabilities actually and reasonably incurred by such person in
connection with such action, suit or proceeding to the full extent permitted by the Delaware
Limited Liability Company Act.
Section 14(b) of the General Partner Agreement also provides that expenses incurred by a
person who is or was a director or officer of the General Partner in appearing at, participating in
or defending any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil,
criminal, administrative or investigative, shall be paid by the General Partner at reasonable
intervals in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an
undertaking by or on behalf of the director or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately
be determined that he is not entitled to be indemnified as authorized by the General Partner
Agreement.

Table of Contents
Section 14(d) of the General Partner Agreement provides that the directors of the General
Partner, the members of the General Partner and any owner, officer, director or employee of the
General Partner or of the member, shall not be liable, responsible or accountable in damages or
otherwise to the General Partner or the member for any act or omission on behalf of the General
Partner within the scope of such person's authority as described in the General Partner Agreement
or by law unless such act or omission was performed or omitted fraudulently or constituted gross
negligence or willful misconduct.
The Partnership is authorized to purchase (or to reimburse its general partner for the costs
of) insurance against liabilities asserted against and expenses incurred by the persons described
in the preceding paragraph in connection with the Partnership's activities, whether or not the
Partnership would have the power to indemnify such person against such liabilities under the
provisions described in the first paragraph above. The General Partner has obtained insurance
through its affiliate, EPCO, Inc., the cost of which is reimbursed by the Partnership, covering the
General Partner's officers and directors against liabilities asserted and expenses incurred in
connection with their activities as officers and directors of the General Partner or any of its
direct or indirect subsidiaries.

Item 9. Undertakings.
(a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities
Act of 1933;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the
effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective
amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental
change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the
total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered)
and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range
may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act if, in the aggregate,
the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum
aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in
the effective registration statement;
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of
distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material
change to such information in the registration statement;
provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the information
required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in
periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to
section 13 or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by
reference in the registration statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of
1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time
shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the
securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any
liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant
to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that is incorporated by
reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating
to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed
to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be
permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the
provisions described under Item 6 above, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the
opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as
expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses
incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful
defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling
person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the
opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy
as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
