Exhibit 10.3

FORM OF STORAGE LEASE
(North Propane-Propylene Splitters)

     This is a Storage Lease (the “Lease”) between MONT BELVIEU CAVERNS, LLC with an address at X.X. Xxx 0000, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxx 00000-0000 (“Lessor”) and ENTERPRISE PRODUCTS OPERATING L.P., (“Lessee”), with an address at X.X. Xxx 0000, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxx 00000-0000.

1. Term; Quantity; Product.

For an initial term commencing February 1, 2007 and ending December 31, 2016 (the “Initial Term”), Lessor leases to Lessee storage space of up to *** barrels of refinery grade propylene (“RGP”) and *** barrels of polymer grade propylene (“PGP”) (collectively referred to as “Product” in this Lease) at Lessor’s underground storage xxxxx, located near Interstate 10 and State Highway 146 at Mont Belvieu, Texas, subject to the terms, provisions, and conditions contained herein. For purposes of this Lease, a “barrel” of Product is equal to 42 U.S. gallons of equivalent liquid volume at 60° Fahrenheit.

Lessee’s RGP is presently stored in well *** and Lessee’s PGP is presently stored in well ***. Each well shall be dedicated for Lessee’s sole use. Lessor reserves the right to designate from time to time which well will be used for the storage of Lessee’s Product; provided, however, to the best of Lessor’s ability such well shall provide as a minimum, the same amount of storage capacity and flow capabilities as the well being replaced, unless otherwise mutually agreed to by the parties. Each such designated well shall then be dedicated for Lessee’s sole use. If it should become necessary for Lessor to move Lessee’s Product to an alternate well, then Lessor shall minimize any disruptions and shall pay for all costs and expenses associated with such move.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, once every five (5) years (unless otherwise required more often under applicable law, rule, or regulation), Lessor may designate a period of time as it or its contractors may reasonably require to perform a mechanical integrity test (“MIT”) during which Lessor shall have the opportunity to inspect the xxxxx, and to conduct any other operations as may be required by applicable law, rule, or regulation. Accordingly, Lessee shall cause all of its Product to be removed from the well at issue prior to the first day of the MIT. Lessor shall make a reasonable effort to provide Lessee with as much advance notice as possible of the upcoming MIT and the need to empty the subject well, and to coordinate with Lessee (or Lessee’s designated representative) the scheduling of such MIT. Lessor will pay for the costs associated with the MIT. If requested by Lessee, Lessor shall make reasonable efforts, at Lessee’s sole cost, to make alternate storage for Product available to Lessee at the same charges as then being paid to Lessor by its olefin storage customers; provided, however, under no circumstances will Lessor be required to make such alternate storage available unless in Lessor’s sole opinion such alternate storage will not present any hardship on Lessor. Except as

Storage Lease (Enterprise North Propane-Propylene Splitters)

required by applicable law, rule, or regulation, Lessee shall not be required to lease alternate storage for a period exceeding the MIT.

Each twelve (12) month period between January 1 and the following December 31 shall be referred to herein as a “Lease Year”. This Lease shall continue from year to year following the expiration of the Initial Term, unless either party terminates this Lease by giving written notice to the other party at least ninety (90) days prior to the beginning of any ensuing Lease Year.

2. Lessor’s Facilities.

Lessor operates storage xxxxx in which various types of products are stored other than the types of Product covered by this Lease. Lessor’s storage xxxxx are connected to centrally located pipeline header facilities operated by Lessor on its property in the vicinity of said storage xxxxx. All Product delivered by Lessee into or by Lessor out of storage must be delivered by pipeline to such header facilities, and all such deliveries shall be deemed a delivery into or out of storage for the purposes of computing all applicable charges under this Lease. As between Lessor and Lessee, control of Lessor’s facilities will rest exclusively with Lessor.

3. Product Specifications.

Each Product delivered by Lessee into storage or by Lessor from storage must meet the respective specifications set out in Exhibit “A” attached hereto and made a part hereof. Lessor reserves the right to modify, add to, or revise such specifications at any time and from time-to time upon giving not less than thirty (30) days prior written notice.

4. Product Deliveries and Receipts.

It shall be Lessee’s responsibility to make all arrangements necessary to deliver Product for storage and to receive Product from storage at Lessor’s header facilities, and to pay any charges imposed by any party for the collection, transfer, and injection of Lessee’s Product to such header facilities for delivery into storage or from such header facilities for delivery out of storage under this Lease. The flow rates into and out of storage are subject to Lessor’s scheduling and operational restrictions.

5. Delivery Restrictions; Allocation.

If Lessor’s scheduling or operational restrictions will not permit all of the parties (including Lessor) storing any types of products in any of Lessor’s storage xxxxx to deliver or receive the volumes of Product requested, then Lessor may allocate among such parties Lessor’s available flow rates in a fair and equitable manner as determined by Lessor.

6. Commingling; Sampling.

Lessor shall not commingle Lessee’s Product with Product of other parties and will redeliver to Lessee the identical Product received from Lessee. Lessor shall have the right to sample all

SCHEDULE 1
STORAGE LEASE
(NORTH PROPANE-PROPYLENE SPLITTERS)

STORAGE FEES.

(A) For the first Lease Year, Lessee shall pay Lessor annual rent at the rate of *** per barrel per year (the “Base Storage Rental Rate”) for the volume leased under this Lease.

Commencing with the first day of the second Lease Year, and on the first day of each subsequent Lease Year, the annual rent shall be adjusted as follows: one-half of the Base Storage Rental Rate shall remain fixed, and one-half shall be revised annually based on a seasonally adjusted implicit price deflator in order to determine a new rental rate known as the “Adjusted Rental Rate.” The Adjusted Rental Rate shall be determined in accordance with the following formula:

*** per barrel + [*** per barrel X Annual Index / Base Index] = Adjusted Rental Rate

	Where:		“Base Index” is the final seasonally adjusted implicit price deflator figure for the calendar year 2005 under the Gross Domestic Product column of the “Implicit Price Deflators for Gross Domestic Product” table (2000=100); and
			“Annual Index” is the final seasonally adjusted implicit price deflator figure for the calendar year ending immediately before the Lease Year for which the adjustment is being determined, said figure being in the same column, table and survey as the Base Index.

The Adjusted Rental Rate shall be rounded off to the fourth decimal place and shall become effective on the first day of each Lease Year. In no event will the Adjusted Rental Rate ever be less than the Base Storage Rental Rate.

For example, in calculating the Adjusted Rental Rate, which shall apply under this Lease, assume in the second Lease Year the Base Index is 113.2, and the Annual Index is 115.2. Under these facts the Adjusted Rental Rate would be as follows:

*** per barrel + [*** per barrel X 115.2/113.2] =
*** per barrel + [*** per barrel X 1.0177] =
*** per barrel + *** per barrel = *** per barrel

The Adjusted Rental Rate of *** would become effective on the first day of the second Lease Year and would continue until the last day of the second Lease Year, with a new Adjusted Rental Rate to apply starting on the first day of the third Lease Year, and so on.

Storage Lease (Enterprise North Propane-Propylene Splitters)

The “Implicit Price Deflators for Gross Domestic Product” are available in the Survey of Current Business as published monthly by the Bureau of Economic Analysis of the U.S. Department of Commerce. Subscriptions to the Survey of Current Business are maintained by the Government Printing Office, an agency of the U.S. Congress. If said Survey fails to publish a necessary price deflator figure or ceases to be published, any replacement index published by or on behalf of the United States government shall be substituted, and if there is no such substitute index, the parties shall promptly agree on a replacement survey or index or, if they cannot agree, either party shall be entitled to submit the matter of a replacement index to arbitration under the commercial arbitration rules of the American Arbitration Association.

Section 2.1 Custody Transfer Tickets.

A. EPOLP shall furnish to the customer daily (0700 to 0700) custody transfer tickets unless otherwise provided for by separate agreement, for products measured on a volumetric basis. The ticket shall identify the product and state the net volume in barrels of product measured.

B. For streams that are measured on a mass basis, custody transfer tickets shall be furnished stating the total mass measured in pounds. Total pounds mass shall then be converted to pounds of each component (if required) based on its weight fraction of the analysis of the product removed from the composite sampler for the same time period in which the mass was totalized. The component pounds shall then be converted to equivalent gallons of each component (if required) utilizing the calculation procedure outlined in GPA Standard 8173. The component density in a vacuum shall be in accordance to GPA Standard 2145. Component gallons shall be further reduced to barrels. Unless otherwise provided for by separate agreement, custody transfer tickets for mass-measured products shall be generated on a weekly or batch basis. An unfinished batch shall be closed out at 0700 hours on the first day of the calendar month, unless otherwise provided for by separate agreement.

Section 2.2 Measurement Basis.

A. Mass Measurement.

	1.		Inferred mass measurement shall be accomplished utilizing a flow-proportional composite sampler, turbine meter, densitometer and flow computer to convert gross volumetrically measured barrels using density in gm/cc at flowing conditions to total pounds mass according to the following formula:
			TotalPounds = GrossBBLS x MeterFactor x FlowingDensity(gm/cc) x 350.506987

350.506987 is a conversion factor to convert density in gm/cc to pounds /bbl.

For polymer grade propylene the composite sampler and densitometer are not required.

2. Direct mass measurement shall be accomplished by utilizing a flow-proportional composite sampler, a Coriolis meter, Coriolis transmitter, and a flow computer to convert mass pulses from the Coriolis transmitter into pounds. Measured pounds mass is calculated according to the following formula:

MeasuredMass = MeterPulses x MeterFactor
               KFactor

For polymer grade propylene the composite sampler is not required.

B.  Volumetric Measurement.

	1.		Volumetric measurement shall be accomplished utilizing a flow computer, turbine meter, and temperature and pressure transmitters. A “fixed” specific gravity at 60 oF and vapor pressure at 100 oF may be entered into the flow computer in the case of “purity” products, if agreed by both parties. Temperature and pressure shall be referenced to the proper API, ASTM and GPA Tables to calculate and totalize net barrels. An optional densitometer and flow-proportional composite sampler may be installed. If a densitometer is installed, the flow computer shall convert the density signal at flowing conditions in gm/cc to specific gravity at 60 oF and use GPA TP-15 to determine EVP (Equilibrium Vapor Pressure).
	2.		On the basis of laboratory analysis, components of mixed streams may be determined by multiplying the totalized net volume by the liquid volume percent of each component, if so stipulated by contract.

The following shall be utilized by the flow computer to reduce gross barrels to net barrels.

For Temperature Reduction. API/ASTM/GPA Technical Publication TP-25 Table 24E shall be used when measuring propane, isobutane, normal butane, natural gasoline and mixes of the above.

For Pressure Reduction (Compressibility).

	a.		API MPMS, 11.2.2 (GPA 8286) shall be used for measuring propane, isobutane, normal butane, and mixes of the above.
	b.		API MPMS, 11.2.1 shall be used when measuring natural gasoline.

Temperature and Pressure Correction. API MPMS, 11.3.3.2 Subroutine “PROPYL” shall be used for temperature and pressure correction when measuring propylene and as a ratioed factor based upon propylene content in propane/propylene mix.

Section 2.3 Provings and Tolerances.

A. Principles. During the proving cycle, turbine pulses (volumetric) from the turbine meter transmitter or mass pulses from the Coriolis transmitter are accumulated. Dividing the accumulated pulses by the prover volume or prover mass generates a “K Factor” in terms of volume or mass, respectively. After the initial proving, this “K Factor” is entered into the flow computer along with a meter correction factor of 1.0000. After subsequent provings, one can choose to adjust the “K Factor” or the meter correction factor. If the choice is made to adjust the “K Factor,” then the meter correction factor remains at 1.0000. If the adjustment is made at the meter correction factor, then the established “K Factor” remains the same. The densitometer factor is entered into the flow computer to

Storage Lease (Enterprise North Propane-Propylene Splitters)

correct flowing density in gm/cc as determined by results of a pycnometer test. The pycnometer shall be installed so that flow through the vessel shall assure proper purging thus allowing temperature and pressure equalization with the densitometer being proved. Maximum allowable temperature differential between the contents in the pycnometer and the densitometer shall be no greater than +/- 0.2 ^oF. The pressure shall be equal to that of the densitometer at time of removal.

B. General.

	1.		Meter provings, calibration of instruments, and maintenance of measurement equipment shall normally be performed by EPOLP personnel, but these functions may be delegated to responsible third-party contractors under the direction of an EPOLP representative.
	2.		A customer’s witness signature does not constitute the approval of the use of out-of-tolerance equipment, but said signature does attest to the validity of the proving report.

C.		Proving Intervals. Each meter shall be proven when initially placed into service. Subsequent provings shall be made every thirty (30) days, unless in accordance with the API MPMS, Chapter 5.3.9.5.2 the consistency of the meter factor, as evidenced in meter factor control charts, may allow the proving interval to be extended to a maximum of 60 days.
D.		Meter Factor.

	1.		Volumetric meter proving calculations shall be in accordance with API MPMS, Chapter 12.2. The average of five (5) consecutive prover runs shall be taken to establish an initial or new meter factor, provided that the five (5) proving runs are within 0.0005 (0.05 %) of each other and the meter factor is within 0.0025 of the previous meter factor under like operating conditions.
	2.		The new meter factor shall be used after each successful proving if it meets the above proving criteria.
	3.		If the new meter factor deviates from the previous meter factor under like operating conditions by more than plus or minus 0.0025, then one half (1/2) of the volume measured since the previous proving shall be corrected using the new meter factor. If the time of malfunction can be determined by historical data, then the volume measured since that point in time shall be corrected using the new meter factor. The new meter factor shall not be used to correct volumes measured more than thirty-one (31) days prior to the new proving.
	4.		No work shall be performed on the measuring element of a turbine meter without first proving the meter. If any work is performed, a new meter factor shall be established.

	5.		If the new meter factor deviates more than 0.0025 but less than 0.0050 from the previous meter factor, the field representatives of EPOLP and the customer shall determine the corrective action, if any, to be taken.
	6.		If the new meter factor deviates 0.0050 or more, the element shall be removed and inspected. If there is build-up on the internals, then the element shall be cleaned and the meter re-proved. If excessive wear is found, then the element shall be repaired or replaced and the meter re-proved to establish a new initial meter factor. After a 24-hour wear-in period, the meter shall be re-proved and if the meter factor changes more than +/- 0.0025 from the new initial meter factor, then one-half (1/2) of the volume measured shall be corrected using the latest meter factor.
	7.		The measurement technician shall record all required corrections to measured volumes and shall describe the findings, method of repair, and calculations used in making the correction on the meter proving report. A correction ticket for the amount of the correction shall be issued.

E. Density Factor. The proving intervals, tolerances, repairs and methods of correction are the same as those provided for in Section 2.3.D above, except that the average of two (2) successive pycnometer provings shall establish product flowing density, provided the two (2) successive provings agree within 0.0005 (0.05%).

Section 2.4 Custody Measurement Station Failure.

A. If a failure occurs on a custody measurement station or the station is out of service while product is being delivered, then the volume shall be determined or estimated by one of the following methods in the order stated:

	1.		By using data recorded by any check measuring equipment that was accurately registering; or
	2.		By correcting the error if the percentage error can be ascertained by calibrations, tests, or mathematical calculations; or
	3.		By comparison with deliveries made under similar conditions when the measurement station was registering accurately; or
	4.		By using historical pipeline gain/loss.

Section 2.5 Sampling Procedures.

A. Flow proportional composite samples shall be removed from the composite sampler at the same time the meter is read and a custody ticket issued. Samples of finished LPG

Storage Lease (Enterprise North Propane-Propylene Splitters)

products streams shall be analyzed in accordance with ASTM D-2163 and raw mix stream shall be analyzed by GPA 2186 extended analysis for C6+ streams.

B. Three samples shall be taken from the composite sampler. One sample shall be retained by EPOLP for analysis, the second sample shall be retained by the customer for analysis, and the third shall be held as a referee. If EPOLP has taken custody, its sample shall be analyzed and the analysis used to account for transfer. If the customer has taken custody, its sample shall be analyzed and the analysis used to account for transfer. If the customer and EPOLP are in disagreement, then the referee sample shall be taken to a mutually agreed upon laboratory which shall analyze the sample in accordance with the proper GPA Standard. This analysis shall be accepted by the customer and EPOLP as final and conclusive for proportions and components contained in the stream. Charges for such referee sample shall be borne by the customer and EPOLP equally.

C. Referee samples shall be held for a period of thirty (30) days from the date of sampling.

D. If a malfunction of the sampling occurs resulting in no sample being taken or in an unrepresentative sample being obtained, the following procedure shall be utilized in the order stated.

	1.		The sample collected by any on-stream back-up sampling device that has extracted a sample in proportion to the volume delivered shall be used.
	2.		An average of the composite samples taken over a mutually agreed time frame {not to exceed the last three (3) months of properly sampled deliveries} shall be used.
	3.		Daily grab samples shall to be used for the time in question.
