ARTICLE VI

Miscellaneous

6.1 Other Assurances. From time to time after the date hereof, and without any further consideration, each of the parties to this Agreement shall execute, acknowledge and deliver all such additional instruments, notices and other documents, and will do all such other acts and things, all in accordance with applicable law, as may be necessary or appropriate to more fully and effectively carry out the purposes and intent of this Agreement.

6.2 Consents; Restriction on Assignment. If there are prohibitions against or conditions to the contribution and assignment of one or more portions of the assets contributed pursuant to Sections 2.1 and 2.2 without the prior written consent of third parties, including, without limitation, governmental agencies (other than consents of a ministerial nature that are normally granted in the ordinary course of business), which if not satisfied would result in a breach of such prohibitions or conditions or would give an outside party the right to terminate the MLP's or GP Inc.'s rights with respect to such portion of the contributed assets (herein called a "Restriction"), then any provision contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, the transfer of title to or interest in each such portion of the contributed assets (herein called the "Restriction-Asset") pursuant to this Agreement shall not become effective unless and until such Restriction is satisfied, waived or no longer applies. When and if such a Restriction is so satisfied, waived or no longer applies, to the extent permitted by applicable law and any applicable contractual provisions, the assignment of the Restriction-Asset subject thereto shall become effective automatically without further action on the part of the MLP, GP Inc., Plains AAP, Plains GP LLC or either of the OLPs and Plains AAP agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to obtain satisfaction of any Restriction on a timely basis. In the event that any Restriction-Asset exists, Plains AAP agrees to hold such Restriction-Asset in trust for the exclusive benefit of the assignee, the MLP or GP Inc., as the case may be, and to otherwise use its reasonable best efforts to provide the assignee with the benefits thereof, and Plains AAP will enter into other agreements, or take such other action as it may deem reasonably necessary, in order to help ensure that such assignee is entitled to the benefits of the contributed assets and concomitant rights in all material respects.

6.3 Costs. The MLP shall pay all sales, use and similar taxes arising out of the contributions, assignments and deliveries to be made hereunder, and shall pay all documentary, filing, recording, transfer, deed, and conveyance taxes and fees required in connection therewith. In addition, the MLP shall be responsible for all costs, liabilities and expenses (including court costs and reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred in connection with the satisfaction or waiver of any Restriction pursuant to Section 6.2.

6.4 Headings; References; Interpretation. All Article and Section headings in this Agreement are for convenience only and shall not be deemed to control or affect the meaning or construction of any of the provisions hereof.

6.9 Severability. If any of the provisions of this Agreement are held by any court of competent jurisdiction to contravene, or to be invalid under, the laws of any political body having jurisdiction over the subject matter hereof, such contravention or invalidity shall not invalidate the entire Agreement. Instead, this Agreement shall be construed as if it did not contain the particular provision or provisions held to be invalid, and an equitable adjustment shall be made and necessary provision added so as to give effect to the intention of the parties as expressed in this Agreement at the time of execution of this Agreement.
