Using the complete KTeV data set of 5241 candidate KL->pi+pi-e+e- decays (including an estimated background of 204+-14 events), we have measured the coupling gCR=0.163+- 0.014(stat)+-0.023(syst) of the CP conserving charge radius process and from it determined a K0 charge radius of (K0)=(-0.077+-0.007(stat)+-0.011(syst)) fm**2. We have also determined a first experimental upper limit of 0.04 (90% CL) for the ratio |g_{E1}|/|g_{M1}| of the coupling for the E1 direct photon emission process relative to the coupling for M1 direct photon emission process. We also report the measurement of its associated vector form factor |gM1`|(1+ (a_1/a_2)/(M(rho)**2-M(K)**2)+2M(K)E(gamma*)) where |gM1`|=(1.11+- 0.12(stat)+-0.08(syst) and a_1/a_2 = (-0.744+-0.027(stat)0.032(syst)) GeV**2/c**2. In addition, a measurement of the manifestly CP violating asymmetry of magnitude (13.6+- 1.4+-(stat)+-1.5(syst))% in the CP and T odd angle phi between the decay planes of the e+e- and pi+pi- pairs in the KL center of mass system is reported.
