Introductory Note

As previously disclosed, Plains GP Holdings, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“ PAGP ”), PAA GP Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and PAGP’s general partner (“ PAGP GP ”), Plains AAP, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“ AAP ”), Plains All American GP LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and the general partner of AAP (“ GP LLC ”), Plains All American Pipeline, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“ PAA ”), and PAA GP LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and the general partner of PAA (“ PAA GP ,” and together with PAA, GP LLC, AAP, PAGP and PAGP GP, the “ Plains Entities ”) entered in to a Simplification Agreement, dated July 11, 2016 (the “ Simplification Agreement ”). The transactions contemplated by the Simplification Agreement (the “ Simplification Transactions ”) were subject to several closing conditions, including the approval of the Simplification Agreement and Simplification Transactions by the holders of a majority of PAGP’s outstanding Class A and Class B shares, voting as a single class (the “ Simplification Proposal ”). On November 15, 2016, the Simplification Proposal was approved by a vote of approximately 90.3% of PAGP’s outstanding Class A and Class B shares, voting together as a single class. In addition, all other closing conditions have been satisfied. As a result, the Simplification Transactions closed on November 15, 2016 (the “ Closing ”). This Form 8-K describes the various Simplification Transactions and transaction documents related thereto that were entered into in connection with the Closing.

Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

A&R PAGP GP LLC Agreement

At the Closing, PAGP GP entered to a Second Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of PAGP GP (the “ A&R PAGP GP LLC Agreement ”). The modifications contained in the A&R PAGP GP LLC Agreement included the following:

· the size of the board of directors of PAGP GP (the “ PAGP GP board ”) was increased from seven to ten members, and Messrs. Christopher M. Temple, Gary R. Petersen and J. Taft Symonds were appointed to the PAGP GP board;

· the directors of the PAGP GP board (other than Greg Armstrong and any director subject, in certain circumstances, to appointment by the holders of PAA’s Series A Preferred Units) (such directors, the “ eligible PAGP GP directors ”), were classified into three classes, with initial terms expiring in 2018, 2019 and 2020;

· the “trigger date” (i.e., that date on which PAGP’s shareholders would have the right to elect eligible PAGP GP directors under the previous Limited Liability Company Agreement of PAGP GP) was accelerated to the Closing, which provides for the initial annual meeting of PAGP limited partners for the election of eligible PAGP GP directors to be held in 2018;

· the provisions relating to the right of certain members of PAGP GP to designate a director on the PAGP GP board for so long as they continue to own a 10% “Qualifying Interest” in AAP were clarified to provide that (i) such threshold would be based on the number of issued and outstanding Class A Units of AAP (“ AAP Units ”) as of the Closing, and (ii) the “Qualifying Interest” of a designating member would include any common units of PAA (“ PAA Common Units ”) that a designating party and its affiliates receive and hold in connection with an AAP Unit Redemption (as described below); and

· given that the GP LLC board has been eliminated (as described below), which negates the existing right of the holders of PAA’s Series A Preferred Units under GP LLC’s limited liability company agreement to designate a director to the GP LLC board in the event that PAA does not declare and pay distributions on its Series A Preferred Units for three quarters, whether or not consecutive (the “ Series A Designation Right ”), the A&R PAGP GP LLC Agreement incorporates a replacement Series A Designation Right at the PAGP GP board level.

A&R PAGP Partnership Agreement

At the Closing, PAGP GP entered into a Second Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of PAGP ( the “ A&R PAGP Partnership Agreement ”). The modifications contained in the A&R PAGP Partnership Agreement included the following:

· the establishment of the Class C shares, a new class of non-economic limited partner interests that will provide PAA, as the sole holder, the right to vote in elections of eligible PAGP GP directors together with the holders of PAGP’s Class A and Class B shares, which right will be exercised by PAA in proportion to the votes of PAA’s public common unit holders at the annual meeting of PAA’s limited partners commencing in 2018;

· the revision of the definition of “Outstanding” with respect to certain holders or groups of holders that beneficially own more than 20% of an outstanding class of PAGP’s equity interests so that (i) such holder or group of holders will not be subject to the 20% limitation contained in the definition of “Outstanding” for purposes of nominating persons as eligible PAGP GP directors; and (ii) not more than 19.9% of the outstanding Class A shares, Class B shares and Class C shares, taken together as a single class, that are owned by such holder or group of holders will be counted for purposes of determining a quorum and voting in the election of eligible PAGP GP directors;

· the addition of a requirement for the consent of the holders of a majority of the outstanding Class C Shares, voting as a single class, with respect to certain amendments to the A&R PAGP Partnership Agreement that would have a material adverse effect on the rights or preferences of the Class C shareholders; and

· the modification of the provisions relating to the right of record holders of at least 10% of the outstanding Class A shares and Class B shares to nominate a person to serve as an eligible PAGP GP director by instead providing that such nomination rights extend to record holders of at least 10% of the outstanding Class A, Class B and Class C shares, and the authorization of PAA to nominate eligible PAGP GP directors on behalf of its unitholders.

A&R GP LLC Agreement

At the Closing, PAGP entered into a Seventh Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of GP LLC (the “ A&R GP LLC Agreement ”). The modifications contained in the A&R GP LLC Agreement included the following:

· the granting of authority to PAGP to manage the business and affairs of GP LLC, as its sole member;

· the elimination of the board of directors of GP LLC; and

· the granting to PAGP of the authority, in its sole discretion, to establish a conflicts committee of GP LLC for, among other reasons, considering any conflict matters between PAGP and PAA, including any matter with respect to which PAGP seeks to obtain “Special Approval” (as defined in the A&R PAA Partnership Agreement (as defined below)).

A&R AAP Partnership Agreement

At the Closing, GP LLC entered into an Eighth Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of AAP (the “ A&R AAP Partnership Agreement ”). The modifications contained in the A&R AAP Partnership Agreement included the following:

· subject to certain limitations during the first twelve months following the Closing as described below, the provision of a right (a “ Redemption Right ”) to each holder of AAP Units (other than PAGP and GP LLC) to cause AAP to redeem any or all of such holder’s AAP Units in exchange for the distribution of an equivalent number of PAA Common Units held by AAP (“ AAP Unit Redemption ”). In connection with

any AAP Unit Redemption, the redeeming holder will transfer the applicable AAP Units to AAP and a corresponding number of Class B shares and PAGP GP Units (if any), in each case, to PAGP. The AAP Units transferred to AAP will be cancelled, the Class B shares transferred to PAGP will be cancelled and the PAGP GP Units transferred to PAGP will remain outstanding and increase PAGP’s ownership percentage in PAGP GP; and

· the contribution, distribution and tax allocation provisions in the A&R AAP Partnership Agreement were modified to accommodate the Redemption Rights and to account for the fact that the general partner interest in PAA will no longer be an economic interest and the fact that following Closing, AAP will cease to have any indebtedness for borrowed money.

The A&R AAP Partnership Agreement generally restricts, subject to certain exceptions, each holder of AAP Units (other than PAGP and GP LLC, which have not been granted Redemption Rights) from exercising its Redemption Rights with respect to approximately 22% of its AAP Units for a period of twelve months following the Closing. Greg Armstrong and Harry Pefanis, our general partner’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Operating Officer, respectively, are restricted from directly or indirectly (through PAA Management, L.P.) exercising their respective Redemption Rights with respect to 100% of their AAP Units during the same period. These restrictions are designed to reduce, but not eliminate, the risk that any redemptions during the first 12 months following Closing, combined with public trading of PAA Common Units, will cause a technical tax termination of PAA. The holders of AAP Units (other than PAGP and GP LLC) will continue to be permitted to exchange units for Class A shares without restriction.

A&R PAA Partnership Agreement

At the Closing, PAA GP entered into a Sixth Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of PAA (the “ A&R PAA Partnership Agreement ”). The modifications contained in the A&R PAA Partnership Agreement included the following:

· language reflecting and giving effect to the GP Conversion and the IDR Redemption (as each term is defined below under Item 2.01) and related amendments;

· the adjustment of certain tax allocation provisions to ensure to the maximum extent possible the fungibility of (i) the PAA Common Units issued in the PAA Recapitalization (as such term is defined below under Item 2.01) and (ii) the other outstanding PAA Common Units;

· the revision of certain definitions to reflect the unified governance structure contemplated by the Simplification Transactions, including the definitions of “Board of Directors” and “Conflicts Committee”;

· the implementation of the rights of PAA’s limited partners (other than AAP) to direct PAA to vote its Class C shares for the election of eligible PAGP GP directors in the same proportion as PAA’s securities are voted at the annual meeting of PAA’s limited partners commencing in 2018;

· the provision of the right to a holder of a limited partner interest in PAA (other than AAP) that is equal to or greater than 10% of the Class A shares, Class B shares and Class C shares, collectively, to direct PAA to nominate one person for election as an eligible PAGP GP director;

· the revision of the definition of “Outstanding” with respect to any holder or group of holders that beneficially own more than 20% of an outstanding class of PAA’s equity interests so that (i) such holder or group of holders will not be subject to the 20% limitation contained in the definition of “Outstanding” for purposes of nominating persons as eligible PAGP GP directors; and (ii) not more than 19.9% of the outstanding Class A shares, Class B shares and Class C shares, taken together as a single class, that are owned by such holder or group of holders, will be counted for purposes of determining a quorum and voting in the election of eligible PAGP GP directors; and

· the elimination of any preemptive right of PAA GP or its affiliates with respect to future issuances of partnership securities by PAA.

Omnibus Agreement

At the Closing, the Plains Entities entered into the Omnibus Agreement, which provides for, among other things, the following:

· that, for periods following the Closing, all direct or indirect expenses of any of the Plains Entities will be paid by PAA, other than income taxes, if any, of PAGP GP, PAGP, GP LLC, AAP and PAA GP. Such direct or indirect expenses include, but are not limited to (i) compensation for the directors of PAGP GP, (ii) director and officer liability insurance, (iii) listing exchange fees, (iv) investor relations expenses, and (v) fees related to legal, tax, financial advisory and accounting services;

· the mechanics by which the number of Class C shares outstanding will equal, at all times, the number of PAA’s units that are outstanding and entitled to vote, other than such voting units held by AAP;

· the mechanics by which (i) the total number of PAGP’s outstanding Class A shares will equal the number of AAP Units held by PAGP, and (ii) the total number of PAA Common Units held by AAP will equal the sum of the number of outstanding AAP Units and the number of AAP Units that are issuable to the holders of AAP Vested Units and AAP Earned Units (as those terms are defined in the A&R AAP Partnership Agreement);

· the ability of PAGP to issue additional Class A shares and use the net proceeds therefrom to purchase a like number of AAP Units from AAP, and the corresponding ability of AAP to use the net proceeds therefrom to purchase a like number of PAA Common Units from PAA; and

· the ability of PAGP to lend proceeds of any future indebtedness incurred by it to AAP, and AAP’s corresponding ability to lend such proceeds to PAA, in each case on substantially the same terms as incurred by PAGP (also clarifying that PAA will reimburse the net fees and expenses in connection with the incurrence of such debt; provided that PAA will only be required to reimburse such net fees and expenses on one occasion with respect to each incurrence of indebtedness by PAA from AAP).

A&R Administrative Agreement

At the Closing, the Plains Entities amended and restated the existing Administrative Agreement (as amended and restated, the “ A&R Administrative Agreement ”) to remove the expense allocation provisions among the Plains Entities, which provisions are provided for in the Omnibus Agreement.

AAP Credit Agreement Amendment

At the Closing, pursuant to the Consent, Limited Waiver and Amendment, dated as of August 11, 2016 (the “ AAP Credit Agreement Amendment ”), amending the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of September 26, 2013 among AAP, Citibank, N.A. and the lenders party thereto (the “ AAP Credit Agreement ”), PAA assumed all remaining outstanding indebtedness, obligations and liabilities of AAP under the AAP Credit Agreement. Immediately prior to the Closing, AAP had $550 million of term loan borrowings and $92 million of revolving credit facility borrowings outstanding under the AAP Credit Agreement.

On November 15, 2016, PAA repaid the AAP Credit Agreement in full and terminated the AAP Credit Agreement.

Registration Rights Agreement

At the Closing, the holders of AAP Units other than PAGP and GP LLC (the “Holders”) entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with PAA, pursuant to which PAA agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to

file, and cause to be continuously effective, a shelf registration statement to permit the public resale of the PAA Common Units held by AAP immediately following the Closing that are distributable to the Holders pursuant to an AAP Unit Redemption. Additionally, PAA agreed to register the resale of any PAA Common Units issued to AAP following the Closing pursuant to the Omnibus Agreement in respect of certain of AAP’s Class B units. In certain circumstances, the holders will have piggyback registration rights on offerings initiated by persons (other than PAA) for whom PAA has the obligation to undertake an underwritten offering (including the holders of its Series A Preferred Units), and certain holders will collectively have the right to request up to a total of twelve underwritten offerings, subject to size limitations and customary rights of PAA to delay such offerings.

The foregoing descriptions of the A&R PAGP GP LLC Agreement, A&R PAGP Partnership Agreement, A&R GP LLC Agreement, A&R AAP Partnership Agreement, A&R PAA Partnership Agreement, Omnibus Agreement, A&R Administrative Agreement, AAP Credit Agreement Amendment and Registration Rights Agreement are qualified in their entirety by reference to the text of such agreements, which are attached hereto as Exhibits 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, 10.1, 10.2, 10.3 and 10.4, respectively, and incorporated herein by reference.

Item 1.02 Termination of Material Definitive Agreement

The information included in Item 1.01 under the caption “AAP Credit Agreement Amendment” is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

At the Closing, PAA GP’s 2% general partner interest in PAA converted into a non-economic general partner interest in PAA (the “ GP Conversion ”) and PAA redeemed and cancelled all of the incentive distribution rights in PAA held by AAP (the “ IDR Redemption ”). As consideration for the GP Conversion and IDR Redemption, PAA (i) issued, or pursuant to the Omnibus Agreement agreed to issue, to AAP 245,500,000 PAA Common Units and (ii) assumed AAP’s remaining outstanding indebtedness, obligations and liabilities under the AAP Credit Agreement as described above in Item 1.01 under the caption “AAP Credit Agreement Amendment.” These transactions are referred to herein as the “ PAA Recapitalization .”

Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant

The information included in Item 1.01 under the caption “AAP Credit Agreement Amendment” is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities

Pursuant to the PAA Recapitalization, PAA issued 244,707,926 PAA Common Units to AAP at the Closing. The information included in Item 2.01 is incorporated herein by reference. The PAA Common Units were issued to AAP pursuant to an exemption under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933.

Item 3.03 Material Modifications to Rights of Security Holders

The information included in Item 1.01 under the captions “A&R PAGP GP LLC Agreement,” “A&R PAGP Partnership Agreement,” “A&R GP LLC Agreement,” “A&R AAP Partnership Agreement,” and “A&R PAA Partnership Agreement” is incorporated herein by reference.

Prior to the Closing, PAGP’s shareholders did not have the ability to elect members of the PAGP GP board until the overall direct and indirect economic interest of certain of the legacy owners of PAGP GP and their permitted transferees in AAP fell below 40%, subject to certain time and other limitations (the “ trigger date ”). Pursuant to the A&R PAGP GP LLC Agreement, the trigger date was accelerated to the Closing, and, as a result, PAGP will hold an annual meeting for the election of eligible PAGP GP directors beginning in 2018. The presence in person or by proxy of the holders of a majority of PAGP’s outstanding Class A, Class B and Class C shares, voting together as a single class, will constitute a quorum. The eligible PAGP GP directors will be elected by a plurality of the votes cast.

PAA will hold an annual meeting of its limited partners in advance of PAGP’s annual meeting of its limited partners. The purpose of PAA’s annual meeting will be to allow its limited partners other than AAP to cast a “pass-through vote” instructing PAA how to vote its Class C Shares in such election. PAA will vote (or refrain from voting) its Class C shares for the election of eligible PAGP GP directors in the same proportion as the votes received from or withheld by its limited partners. At the PAA annual meeting, PAA Common Units held by AAP will not be voted and will not be counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum exists.

Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers

Prior to the Closing, PAGP GP managed the business and affairs of PAGP, and GP LLC managed the business and affairs of PAA and AAP. Pursuant to the A&R GP LLC Agreement, PAGP, as the sole member of GP LLC, has the sole authority to manage the business and affairs of GP LLC, and the current board of directors of GP LLC (the “GP LLC board”) was eliminated. As a result, the PAGP GP board will have responsibility for managing the business and affairs of each of PAGP, AAP and PAA. At the Closing, Messrs. Christopher M. Temple, Gary R. Petersen and J. Taft Symonds, who were the directors of the GP LLC board that were not also directors of the PAGP GP board, were added to the PAGP GP board. Victor Burk and Bobby S. Shackouls, who were not members of the GP LLC board, are current members of the PAGP GP board.

Subject to Section 6.1(a)(iii) and (iv) and Section 6.2 , each Initial Designating Member shall be entitled to designate one Director. Unless otherwise required pursuant to the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder and by the principal National Securities Exchange on which the PAGP Class A Shares or MLP Common Units are listed, the Board shall include at least three Independent Directors; provided , however , that if at any time there shall be fewer than the required number of Independent Directors, the Board shall take such actions as may be necessary to cause the Board to re-establish the required number of Independent Directors; provided , further , that if at any time there shall be fewer than two Independent Directors to serve on the Conflicts Committee of Plains All American GP LLC, the Board may take such actions as may be necessary to cause the Board to have at least two Independent Directors to serve on such Conflicts Committee of Plains All American GP LLC. In connection therewith, the Board may exercise its Director removal and appointment rights hereunder and may, to the extent required, increase the size of the Board and appoint one or more new Independent Directors to fill the resulting vacancies. The Directors of the Company as of the date hereof are set forth on Schedule 3 to this Agreement. Each Director shall hold office until his or her successor is elected pursuant to this Article 6 or until his or her earlier death, resignation or removal.

Directors if such removal is for Cause. Subject to Section 6.1(a)(iv) , in the event of the death, resignation or removal of a Director designated by a Designating Member, such Designating Member may designate a replacement Director. In the event of the death, resignation or removal of or any vacancy relating to a Director (other than a Director designated by a Designating Member), a majority of the remaining Directors may designate a replacement Independent Director. In the event the individual serving as Chief Executive Officer of the Company no longer holds such office for any reason, such individual shall be automatically removed as a Director and the successor to such individual as Chief Executive Officer of the Company shall, by virtue of such appointment, be designated to replace such individual as a Director and shall, unless the Board otherwise determines by a majority vote of the other Directors, serve as Chairman of the Board.

(iv) In the event an Initial Designating Member ceases to maintain ownership of at least a 10% Qualifying Interest or a Subsequent Designating Member ceases to maintain ownership of at least a 20% Qualifying Interest (a “ Designation Loss Event ”), the Director designated by such Designating Member shall be automatically removed as a Director, and any Subsequent Designating Member whose right to designate a Director has been deferred in accordance with Section 6.1(a)(iii) shall be entitled to designate a Director, or, if there is no such remaining Subsequent Designating Member, a majority of the remaining Directors shall elect a replacement Director; provided, however , in the event that there is more than one remaining Subsequent Designating Member whose right to designate a Director has been deferred, the Subsequent Designating Member who first accumulated ownership of at least a 20% Qualifying Interest shall be entitled to designate the Director.

(v) If any Designating Member fails to exercise its right to designate a Director and a vacancy on the Board remains unfilled for at least sixty (60) days, the Board may fill that vacancy upon the vote of a majority of the remaining Directors. If the Board exercises its right to fill a vacancy pursuant to this Section 6.1(a)(v) , such

Designating Member’s designation right shall be suspended for a period to be determined by the Board, which period shall not exceed one hundred eighty (180) days. Following the end of any such suspension period and provided that a Designation Loss Event has not occurred with respect to such Designating Member, such Designating Member will be entitled to designate a Director in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Any Director designated by such Designating Member shall immediately replace the Director appointed by the Board pursuant to this Section 6.1(a)(v) ; provided, however , that the Board may, by majority vote of the Directors elect to increase the size of the Board by one Director and fill the resulting vacancy with the Director that was appointed by the Board to fill the initial vacancy as provided in the first sentence of this Section 6.1(a)(v) ; provided further, however , that if, following any such increase or increases in the size of the Board, there shall be any subsequent vacancy on the Board, the Board shall not fill such vacancy and shall reduce the size of the Board by one (but not below ten members) unless either (1) any Designating Member shall be entitled to fill such vacancy or (2) the failure to fill such vacancy would cause the Board to fail to consist of the required number of Independent Directors pursuant to Section 6.1(a) .

(b) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth below, following the occurrence of a Designation Loss Event with respect to any Initial Designating Member and so long as such Initial Designating Member continues to own at least a 5% Qualifying Interest, (A) such Initial Designating Member shall have the right to designate an individual (who shall be a senior representative of such Initial Designating Member’s management team and acceptable to the Board) (each, an “ IDM Observer ”) to receive notice of and attend meetings of the Board in an observer capacity and (B) until such Initial Designating Member’s right to designate an IDM Observer terminates or the Initial Designating Member rescinds its request to receive such information in writing, each IDM Observer shall be entitled to receive copies of information routinely provided to the Directors; provided , that the failure to give any such notice or documents or information shall not affect the validity of any action taken by the Board.

Subsidiaries; (b) may otherwise disadvantage the Company Group, the MLP or any of its Subsidiaries in ongoing commercial dealings with such Initial Designating Member or any of its affiliates; or (c) could result in the competitive positioning of the Company Group or the MLP or its Subsidiaries being compromised; or (2) such redaction or withholding is necessary or advisable for the protection and retention of any attorney-client privilege.

(iv) At the discretion of a majority of the Directors (or any committee of the Board) then in attendance, any IDM Observer may be excluded from relevant portions of the Board meetings or committee meetings if such majority reasonably believes that (1) such IDM Observer’s attendance (a) would result in a potential breach of confidentiality agreements between third parties and the Company Group or the MLP and its Subsidiaries; (b) may otherwise disadvantage the Company Group, the MLP or any of its Subsidiaries in ongoing commercial dealings with any Initial Designating Member or any of its affiliates; or (c) could result in the competitive positioning of the Company Group or the MLP or its Subsidiaries being compromised; or (2) such exclusion is necessary or advisable for the protection and retention of any attorney-client privilege.

(v) Any Initial Designating Member may eliminate the foregoing restrictions in clauses (ii), (iii) and (iv) above by requesting information or requesting that its IDM Observer not be excluded and, if applicable, agreeing in writing to be bound by any applicable confidentiality agreements that would permit disclosure of the information being redacted or withheld, unless such disclosure or presence of such IDM Observer would (1) adversely affect the retention of any attorney-client privilege or (2) disadvantage the Company Group, the MLP or any of its Subsidiaries in ongoing commercial dealings with the applicable Initial Designating Member or any of its affiliates.

(vi) Notwithstanding Section 10.4 or Section 11.1 , with respect to materials provided to any Initial Designating Member pursuant to Section 6.1(b)(ii) or otherwise provided by the Company Group without solicitation by such Initial Designating Member, such Initial Designating Member shall not be presumed to have misused such information solely because its IDM Observer may have retained a mental impression of such information in connection with such Initial Designating Member’s participation in activities competitive with the Company Group or the MLP and its Subsidiaries. This Section 6.1(b)(vi) shall not apply with respect to information provided to any Initial Designating Member pursuant to Section 6.2(b)(v) or otherwise provided upon an Initial Designating Member’s request.

(vii) No IDM Observer shall have any voting rights. No consent or approval of any IDM Observer shall be required for any action taken by the Board. The attendance or participation of any IDM Observer at a meeting shall not be required for action by the Board.

(c) If a Series A Trigger Event (as such term is defined in the MLP Partnership Agreement) occurs, then the Series A Preferred Unitholders (as such term is defined in the MLP Partnership Agreement) shall have the right, upon written notice, to appoint one representative to

the Board, as set forth in the MLP Partnership Agreement, but such right shall be subject to the terms set forth in this Agreement. The Board representative identified in the notice delivered by the Series A Preferred Unitholders shall be referred to herein as the “ Series A Designated Director .” The Series A Designated Director must, in the reasonable judgment of the Board, (i) have the requisite skill and experience to serve as a director of a public company in the energy sector, (ii) not be prohibited from serving as a director pursuant to any rule or regulation of the Commission or any national securities exchange on which the PAGP Class A Shares or MLP Common Units are listed or admitted to trading, and (iii) not be an employee or a director of any Competitor (as defined below); provided , that an individual employed by a financial institution, fund or investment vehicle, who serves as a director of a portfolio company of such institution, which portfolio company is a Competitor, shall not be excluded from serving as a Series A Designated Director solely by virtue of such role as a director of such portfolio company. For purposes of the immediately preceding sentence the term “ Competitor ” shall mean any entity that (a) is an operating company (and not a financial institution) and (b) competes with the MLP in the transportation, storage, terminaling or marketing of crude oil, natural gas liquids or natural gas in the United States or Canada. If the Series A Preferred Unitholders exercise their right to appoint a Series A Designated Director, such Series A Designated Director shall be a member of the Board until such Series A Designated Director is removed pursuant to Section 6.1(d) or Section 6.1(e) . Any Series A Designated Director shall have all the rights and duties of a Director otherwise serving hereunder.

(d) Prior to a Designation Right Termination Event (as defined below), the Series A Designated Director may be removed or replaced by the Series A Purchasers (as defined in the MLP Partnership Agreement) at any time for any reason or by majority vote of the other Directors for “cause” (as defined below); and any vacancy occurring by reason of the death, disability, resignation, removal or other cessation of a person serving as a Series A Designated Director shall be filled by a vote of the Series A Preferred Unitholders holding a majority of the then outstanding Series A Preferred Units and the subsequent delivery of written notice to the Company. As used herein, “cause” means that the Series A Designated Director (i) is prohibited from serving as a director under any rule or regulation of the Commission or any national securities exchange on which the PAGP Class A Shares or MLP Common Units are listed; (ii) while serving as the Series A Designated Director, is convicted by a court of competent jurisdiction of a felony; (iii) a court of competent jurisdiction has entered a final, non-appealable judgment finding the Series A Designated Director liable for actual fraud or willful misconduct against PAGP or the MLP (including, but not limited to, intentionally or willfully failing to observe any obligations of confidentiality to PAGP or the MLP); (iv) is determined to have acted intentionally or in bad faith in a manner that results in a material detriment to the assets, business or prospects of PAGP or the MLP; or (v) is terminated, removed or resigns for any reason from his or her position, if any, with any such Series A Preferred Unitholder at which the Series A Designated Director was employed at the time of his or her appointment as the Series A Designated Director. Any action by the Series A Preferred Unitholders to designate, remove or replace a Series A Designated Director shall be evidenced in writing furnished to the Company, shall include a statement that the action has been approved by a vote of the Series A Preferred Unitholders holding a majority of the then outstanding Series A Preferred Units and shall be executed by or on behalf of the Series A Unitholders.

(e) Upon payment by the MLP to the Series A Preferred Unitholders of all accrued but unpaid distributions on the Series A Preferred Units then outstanding following a Series A Trigger Event (a “ Designation Right Termination Event ”), the right of the Series A Preferred Unitholders to designate a Series A Designated Director shall automatically terminate (unless and until another Series A Trigger Event shall have occurred) and the Series A Designated Director then serving as a member of the Board shall, promptly upon (and in any event within two (2) Business Days following) receipt of a written request from the Board, resign as a member of the Board. If the Series A Designated Director does not resign upon such request, then a majority of the other Directors then serving on the Board may remove the Series A Designated Director as a member of the Board.

(f) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Director designation rights are not separately transferable and in no event shall both a Member and its Permitted Transferee be entitled to designate a Director, unless the transferee otherwise satisfies the criteria of a Subsequent Designating Member.

(g) For the purpose of calculating the 10%, 20% and 5% Qualifying Interest thresholds referenced in Section 6.1(a)(iii) , Section 6.1(a)(iv) and Section 6.1(b) , Qualifying Interests owned by an Affiliate of an Initial Designating Member or a Subsequent Designating Member, as applicable, shall be attributed to such Initial Designating Member or Subsequent Designating Member, as applicable, for purposes of determining whether the applicable Qualifying Interest threshold has been satisfied.

(h) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, while a Conflicts Committee of Plains All American GP LLC is empaneled, each Independent Director serving on such conflicts committee shall abstain from all decision-making activities of the Board with respect to matters being considered by, or that have been assigned to, such conflicts committee.

6.2 Classification of the Board .

At each annual meeting of PAGP Limited Partners, successors to the class of Directors whose term expires at that annual meeting shall be elected or designated for a three-year term. The first annual meeting after the date hereof shall be held during the calendar year commencing on January 1, 2018.

(c) At each annual meeting of the PAGP Limited Partners held after the date hereof, any Designating Member for which the term of its designated Director shall expire at such annual meeting shall designate a Director to hold office until the third succeeding annual meeting.

Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, such Notice may be telephonic if no other reasonable means are available. Such Notices shall be accompanied by a proposed agenda or general statement of purpose.

6.4 Quorum and Acts of the Board . A majority of the Directors shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at all meetings of the Board, and, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the act of a majority of the Directors present at any meeting at which there is a quorum shall be the act of the Board. If a quorum shall not be present at any meeting of the Board, the Directors present thereat may adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until a quorum shall be present. Any action

required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the Board or of any committee thereof may be taken without a meeting, if all members of the Board or committee, as the case may be, consent thereto in writing (including by electronic transmission), and the writing or writings or electronic transmission or transmissions are filed with the minutes of proceedings of the Board or committee.

6.5 Communications . Members of the Board, or any committee designated by the Board, may participate in a meeting of the Board or any committee thereof by means of conference telephone or similar communications equipment through which all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other, and such participation in a meeting shall constitute presence in person at the meeting, except when a Director participates for the express purpose of objecting to the transaction of any business on the ground that the meeting was not lawfully called or convened.

6.6 Committees of Directors .

(a) The Board, by unanimous resolution of all Directors present and voting at a duly constituted meeting of the Board or by unanimous written consent, may designate one or more committees, each committee to consist of one (1) or more of the Directors.

Such committee or committees shall have such name or names as may be determined from time to time by resolution adopted by the Board. Each committee shall keep regular minutes of its meetings and report the same to the Board when required.

(b) In addition to any other committees established by the Board pursuant to Section 6.6(a) , the Board may, as necessary, convene a “ Conflicts Committee ,” which shall be composed of at least two Directors, each of whom shall meet the requirements set forth in the PAGP Partnership Agreement. The Conflicts Committee shall be responsible for (A) approving or disapproving, as the case may be, any matters regarding the business and affairs of the Company, PAGP or AAP submitted to such Conflicts Committee by the Board and (B) performing such other functions as the Board may assign from time to time or as may be specified in a specific delegation to the Conflicts Committee.

6.8 Directors as Agents . The Board, acting as a body pursuant to this Agreement, shall constitute a “manager” for purposes of the Act. No Director, in such capacity, acting singly or with any other Director, shall have any authority or right to act on behalf of or bind the Company other than by exercising the Director’s voting power as a member of the Board, unless specifically authorized by the Board in each instance.

6.9 Officers; Agents . The Board shall have the power to appoint any Person or Persons as the Company’s officers (the “ Officers ”) to act for the Company and to delegate to such Officers such of the powers as are granted to the Board hereunder.

The Officers may have such titles as the Board shall deem appropriate, which may include (but need not be limited to) Chairman of the Board, President, Chief Executive Officer, Executive Vice President, Vice President, Chief Operating Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer, Controller or Secretary. A Director may be an Officer. Unless the authority of an Officer is limited by the Board, any Officer so appointed shall have the same authority to act for the Company as a corresponding officer of a Delaware corporation would have to act for a Delaware corporation in the absence of a specific delegation of authority. The Officers shall hold office until their respective successors are chosen and qualify or until their earlier death, resignation or removal. Any Officer elected or appointed by the Board may be removed at any time by the affirmative vote of a majority of the Board.

LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION

7.1 Limitation on Liability of Members, Directors and Officers .

(a) Subject to, and as limited by, the provisions of this Agreement, the Members and Directors, in the performance of their duties as such, shall not, to the maximum extent permitted by the Act or other applicable law, owe any duties (including fiduciary duties) as a Member or Director of the Company, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in existing law, in equity or otherwise; provided, however , that for the avoidance of doubt nothing set forth herein shall be deemed to limit the obligations of the “General Partner” under the PAGP Partnership Agreement.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, no Indemnitee shall be liable for monetary damages to the Company, the Members or any other Persons who have acquired Membership Interests, for losses sustained or liabilities incurred as a result of any act or omission of an Indemnitee in connection with the conduct of the business or affairs of the Company 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. To the fullest extent permitted by Section 18-1101(c) of the Act, a Director designated by a Designating Member, in performing his or her obligations under this Agreement, shall be entitled to act or omit to act at the direction of the Member who designated such Director, considering only such factors, including the separate interests of the designating Member, as such Director or the designating Member chooses to consider, and any action of a Director or failure to act, taken or omitted in good faith reliance on the foregoing provisions of this Section 7.1 shall not constitute a breach of any duty including any fiduciary duty on the part of the Director or designating Member to the Company or any other Member or Director. Except as required by the Act, the Company’s debts, obligations, and liabilities, whether arising in contract, tort or otherwise, shall be solely the debts, obligations and liabilities of the Company, and no Indemnitee shall be personally responsible for any such debt, obligation or liability of the Company solely by reason of being an Indemnitee. No Member shall be responsible for any debts, obligations or liabilities, whether arising in contract, tort or otherwise, of any other Member. The provisions of this Agreement, to the extent that they restrict, eliminate or otherwise modify the duties and liabilities, including fiduciary duties, of any Indemnitee otherwise existing at law or in equity, are agreed by the Members to replace such duties and liabilities of such Indemnitee. To the fullest extent permitted by law, in connection with any action or inaction of, or determination made by, any Indemnitee with respect to any matter relating to the Company, it shall be presumed that the Indemnitee acted in a manner that satisfied the contractual standards set forth in this Agreement, and in any proceeding brought by any Member or by or on behalf of such Member or any other Member or the Company challenging any such action or inaction of, or determination made by, any Indemnitee, the Person bringing or prosecuting such proceeding shall have the burden of overcoming such presumption.

(b) Any Indemnitee may rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, bond, debenture or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties.

(c) No amendment, modification or repeal of this Section 7.1 or any provision hereof shall in any manner terminate, reduce or impair the waiver or limitation on liability with respect to any past, present or future Indemnitee under and in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.1 as in effect immediately prior to such amendment, modification or repeal with respect to claims arising from or relating to matters occurring, in whole or in part, prior to such amendment, modification or repeal, regardless of when such claims may arise or be asserted.

7.2 Indemnification .

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement and except as required by the Act, to the fullest extent permitted by law but subject to the limitations expressly provided in this Agreement, the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless the Indemnitees (when not acting in violation of this Agreement or applicable law) from and against any and all losses, claims, demands, costs, damages, liabilities, expenses of any nature (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements), judgments, fines, settlements and other amounts arising from any and all claims, demands, actions, suits or proceedings, civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, in which an Indemnitee may be involved, or threatened to be involved, as a party or otherwise, by reason of his, her or its status as an Indemnitee, if such Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner he or she subjectively believed to be in, or not opposed to, the interests of the Company and with respect to any criminal proceeding, had no reason to believe his, her or its conduct was unlawful.

(b) Expenses incurred by an Indemnitee in defending any claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding subject to Section 7.2(a) shall, from time to time, be advanced by the Company prior to the final disposition of such claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding upon receipt by the Company of an undertaking by or on behalf of the Indemnitee to repay such amounts if it is ultimately determined that the Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified as authorized in this Section 7.2 .

(c) The indemnification provided by this Section 7.2 shall be in addition to any other rights to which an Indemnitee may be entitled pursuant to any approval of the Board, as a matter of law or equity, or otherwise, and shall continue as to an Indemnitee who has ceased to hold the status with respect to which it was an Indemnitee and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, successors, assigns, and administrators of such Indemnitee; provided, however , that in the event such Indemnitee is also an Affiliate of a Member who is a Designating Member, the vote of the Director designated by such Designating Member shall be disregarded for purposes of the Board’s vote pursuant to this Section 7.2(c) . The Company shall not be required to indemnify any Member in connection with any losses, claims, demands, actions, disputes, suits or proceedings, of any Member against any other Member.

(d) The Company may purchase and maintain directors and officers insurance or similar coverage for its Directors and Officers in such amounts and with such deductibles or self-insured retentions as determined by the Board.

(e) Any indemnification hereunder shall be satisfied only out of the assets of the Company, and the Members shall not be subject to personal liability by reason of the indemnification provisions under this Section 7.2 .

(f) An Indemnitee shall not be denied indemnification in whole or in part under this Section 7.2 because the Indemnitee had an interest in the transaction with respect to which the indemnification applies if the transaction was otherwise permitted by the terms of this Agreement and all material facts relating to such Indemnitee’s interest were adequately disclosed to the Board at the time the transaction was consummated.

(g) Subject to Section 7.2(c) , the provisions of this Section 7.2 are for the benefit of the Indemnitees and the heirs, successors, assigns and administrators of the Indemnitees and shall not be deemed to create any rights for the benefit of any other Persons.

(h) No amendment, modification or repeal of this Section 7.2 or any provision hereof shall in any manner terminate, reduce or impair the right of any past, present or future Indemnitee to be indemnified by the Company or any Affiliate of the Company, nor the obligations of the Company or such Affiliate to indemnify any such Indemnitee under and in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.2 as in effect immediately prior to such amendment, modification or repeal with respect to claims arising from or relating to matters occurring, in whole or in part, prior to such amendment, modification or repeal, regardless of when such claims may arise or be asserted.

ARTICLE 8

A transfer in compliance with such terms is referred to herein as a “ Permitted Transfer .” If for any reason the transfer of such AAP Class A Units or PAGP Class B Shares does not occur simultaneously and proportionately with the Membership Transfer, then the Membership Transfer shall be null and void and of no force and effect.

Such transferee shall only be entitled to receive, to the extent of the Company Units Transferred to such transferee, the share of distributions and profits, if any, to which the transferor would otherwise be entitled with respect to the Transferred Company Units. The transferor shall have the right to

vote such Transferred Company Units until the transferee is admitted to the Company as a substitute Member with respect to the Transferred Company Units.

Upon satisfaction of all the foregoing conditions with respect to a particular transferee, the books and records of the Company shall be adjusted to reflect the admission of the transferee as a substitute Member to the extent of the Transferred Company Units held by such transferee.

8.3 Effect of Admission as a Substitute Member . Unless otherwise provided hereunder, a transferee who has become a substitute Member has, to the extent of the Transferred Company Units, all the rights, powers and benefits of, and is subject to the obligations, restrictions and liabilities of a Member under, the Certificate, this Agreement and the Act. Upon admission of a transferee as a substitute Member, the transferor of the Company Units so held by the substitute Member shall cease to be a Member of the Company to the extent of such Transferred Company Units.

(b) next, to the setting up of such reserves as the Person required or authorized by law to wind up the Company’s affairs may reasonably deem necessary or appropriate for any disputed, contingent or unforeseen liabilities or obligations of the Company, provided that any such reserves shall be paid over by such Person to an escrow agent appointed by the Board, to be held by such agent or its successor for such period as such Person shall deem advisable for the purpose of applying such reserves to the payment of such liabilities or obligations and, at the expiration of such period, the balance of such reserves, if any, shall be distributed as hereinafter provided; and

9.5 No Action for Dissolution .

If a Limited Partner or Citizenship Assignee fails to furnish to the General Partner within the aforementioned 30-day period such Eligibility Certificate or other requested information or if upon receipt of such Eligibility Certificate or other requested information the General Partner determines, with the advice of counsel, that a Limited Partner or Citizenship Assignee is not an Eligible Citizen (an “ Ineligible Holder ”), the Partnership Interests owned by such Ineligible Holder shall be subject to redemption in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.9. In addition, the General Partner may require that the status of any such Ineligible Holder be changed to that of a Non-citizen Assignee and, thereupon, the General Partner shall be substituted for such Non-citizen Assignee as the Limited Partner in respect of such Limited Partner’s Limited Partner Interests.

(b) The General Partner shall, in exercising voting rights in respect of Limited Partner Interests held by it on behalf of Non-citizen Assignees, distribute the votes in the same ratios as the votes of Partners (including the General Partner) in respect of Limited Partner Interests other than those of Non-citizen Assignees are cast, either for, against or abstaining as to the matter.

(c) Upon dissolution of the Partnership, a Non-citizen Assignee shall have no right to receive a distribution in kind pursuant to Section 12.4 but shall be entitled to the cash equivalent thereof, and the Partnership shall provide cash in exchange for an assignment of the Non-citizen Assignee’s share of any distribution in kind. Such payment and assignment shall be treated for Partnership purposes as a purchase by the Partnership from the Non-citizen Assignee of his Limited Partner Interest (representing his right to receive his share of such distribution in kind).

(d) At any time after a Non-citizen Assignee can and does certify that such Non-citizen Assignee has become an Eligible Citizen, such Non-citizen Assignee may, upon application to the General Partner, request admission as a Substituted Limited Partner with respect to any Limited Partner Interests of such Non-citizen Assignee not redeemed pursuant to Section 4.9 and upon such Non-citizen Assignee’s admission pursuant to Section 12.4, the

General Partner shall cease to be deemed to be the Limited Partner in respect of the Non-citizen Assignee’s Limited Partner Interests.

Section 4.9 Redemption of Partnership Interests of Ineligible Holders .

(a) If at any time a Limited Partner or Citizenship Assignee fails to furnish an Eligibility Certificate or other information requested within the 30-day period specified in Section 4.8(a), or if upon receipt of such Eligibility Certificate or other information the General Partner determines, with the advice of counsel, that a Limited Partner or Citizenship Assignee is not an Eligible Citizen, the Partnership may, unless the Limited Partner or Citizenship Assignee establishes to the satisfaction of the General Partner that such Limited Partner or Citizenship Assignee is an Eligible Citizen or has transferred his Partnership Interests to a Person who is an Eligible Citizen and who furnishes an Eligibility Certificate to the General Partner prior to the date fixed for redemption as provided below, redeem the Partnership Interest of such Limited Partner or Citizenship Assignee as follows:

(i) The General Partner shall, not later than the 30th day before the date fixed for redemption, give notice of redemption to the Limited Partner or Citizenship Assignee, at his last address designated on the records of the Partnership or the Transfer Agent, by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid. The notice shall be deemed to have been given when so mailed. The notice shall specify the Redeemable Interests, the date fixed for redemption, the place of payment, that payment of the redemption price will be made upon surrender of the Certificate evidencing the Redeemable Interests or other evidence of the issuance of uncertificated Limited Partnership Interests and that on and after the date fixed for redemption no further allocations or distributions to which the Limited Partner or Citizenship Assignee would otherwise be entitled in respect of the Redeemable Interests will accrue or be made.

(ii) The aggregate redemption price for Redeemable Interests shall be an amount equal to the Current Market Price (the date of determination of which shall be the date fixed for redemption) of Limited Partner Interests of the class to be so redeemed multiplied by the number of Limited Partner Interests of each such class included among the Redeemable Interests. The redemption price shall be paid, in the discretion of the General Partner, in cash or by delivery of a promissory note of the Partnership in the principal amount of the redemption price, bearing interest at the rate of 10% annually and payable in three equal annual installments of principal together with accrued interest, commencing one year after the redemption date.

(iii) Upon surrender by or on behalf of the Limited Partner or Citizenship Assignee, at the place specified in the notice of redemption, of the Certificate evidencing the Redeemable Interests, duly endorsed in blank or accompanied by an assignment duly executed in blank, or other evidence of the issuance of uncertificated Limited Partnership Interests, the Limited Partner or Citizenship Assignee or his duly authorized representative shall be entitled to receive the payment therefor.

(iv) After the redemption date, Redeemable Interests shall no longer constitute issued and Outstanding Limited Partner Interests.

(b) The provisions of this Section 4.9 shall also be applicable to Limited Partner Interests held by a Limited Partner or Citizenship Assignee as nominee of a Person determined to be other than an Eligible Citizen.

(c) Nothing in this Section 4.9 shall prevent the recipient of a notice of redemption from transferring his Limited Partner Interest before the redemption date if such transfer is otherwise permitted under this Agreement. Upon receipt of notice of such a transfer, the General Partner shall withdraw the notice of redemption, provided the transferee of such Limited Partner Interest certifies to the satisfaction of the General Partner in an Eligibility Certificate that he is an Eligible Citizen. If the transferee fails to make such certification, such redemption shall be effected from the transferee on the original redemption date.

(b) Each Indemnitee (other than the General Partner) shall have the right to engage in businesses of every type and description and other activities for profit and to engage in and possess an interest in other business ventures of any and every type or description, whether in businesses engaged in or anticipated to be engaged in by any Group Member or any member of the MLP Group, independently or with others, including business interests and activities in direct competition with the business and activities of any Group Member or any member of the MLP Group, and none of the same shall constitute a breach of this Agreement or any duty expressed or implied by law to any Group Member, any member of the MLP Group or any Partner. None of any Group Member, any Limited Partner or any other Person shall have any rights by virtue of this Agreement, the constituent documents of any Group Member, the MLP Agreement or the partnership relationship established hereby or thereby in any business ventures of any Group Member or Indemnitee.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, (i) the engaging in competitive activities by any Indemnitee (other than the General Partner) in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.5 is hereby approved by the Partnership and all Partners, (ii) it shall be deemed not to be a breach of any duty (including any fiduciary duty) or any other obligation of any type whatsoever of any Indemnitee (other than the General Partner) to engage in such

business interests and activities in preference to or to the exclusion of the Partnership Group or the members of the MLP Group and the Indemnitee shall have no obligation hereunder or as a result of any duty otherwise existing at law, in equity or otherwise, to present business opportunities to the Partnership. The doctrine of corporate opportunity, or any analogous doctrine, shall not apply to any Indemnitee. No Indemnitee who acquires knowledge of a potential transaction, agreement, arrangement or other matter that may be an opportunity for the Partnership, shall have any duty to communicate or offer such opportunity to the Partnership, and, except as otherwise provided in Section 7.5(a) or Section 7.5(b), such Indemnitee shall not be liable to the Partnership, to any Limited Partner or any other Person for breach of duty (including any fiduciary duty) or any other obligation by reason of the fact that such Indemnitee pursues or acquires for itself, directs such opportunity to another Person or does not communicate such opportunity or information to the Partnership; provided such Indemnitee does not engage in such business or activity using confidential or proprietary information provided by or on behalf of the Partnership to Indemnitee; provided further, however, that when an Indemnitee engages in such activities, there shall be no presumption of misuse of such confidential information solely because a Person associated with the Indemnitee may retain a mental impression of any such confidential information.

(d) The General Partner, Existing Owners and each of their respective Affiliates may acquire Shares or other Partnership Interests in addition to those acquired on the Closing Date and, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, shall be entitled to exercise all rights of a General Partner or Limited Partner, as applicable, relating to such Shares or Partnership Interests. The term “Affiliates,” when used in this Section 7.5(d) with respect to the General Partner, shall not include any Group Member or any Subsidiary of the Group Member.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, to the extent that any provision of this Agreement purports or is interpreted (i) to have the effect of modifying, limiting or restricting the duties that might otherwise, as a result of Delaware or other applicable law, be owed by the General Partner to the Partnership and its Limited Partners, or (ii) to constitute a waiver or consent by the Limited Partners to any such modification, limitation or restriction, such provisions shall be deemed to have been approved by the Partners and to replace such duties of the General Partner; provided , however , that nothing in this Section 7.5 shall limit or otherwise affect the effectiveness of any Group Member Agreement, the Holdings GP LLC Agreement or any separate contractual obligations of any Person (including any Indemnitee) to the Partnership or any of its Affiliates pursuant to agreements entered into following the date of the Original Agreement.

imposed on the borrowing party by unrelated lenders on comparable loans made on an arm’s-length basis (without reference to the lending party’s financial abilities or guarantees) all as determined by the General Partner. The borrowing party shall reimburse the lending party for any costs (other than any additional interest costs) incurred by the lending party in connection with the borrowing of such funds. For purposes of this Section 7.6(a) and Section 7.6(b), the term “Group Member” shall include any Affiliate of a Group Member that is controlled by the Group Member and the term “member of the MLP Group” shall include any Affiliate of a member of the MLP Group that is controlled by a member of the MLP Group.

(b) The Partnership may lend or contribute to any Group Member, and any Group Member may borrow from the Partnership, funds on terms and conditions determined by the General Partner.

Any indemnification pursuant to this Section 7.7 shall be made only out of the assets of the Partnership, it being agreed that 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.

(b) To the fullest extent permitted by law, expenses (including legal fees and expenses) incurred by an Indemnitee who is indemnified pursuant to Section 7.7(a) in defending any claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding shall, from time to time, be advanced by the Partnership prior to a final and non-appealable judgment entered by a court of competent jurisdiction determining that, in respect of the matter for which the Indemnitee is seeking indemnification pursuant to this Section 7.7, the Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified upon receipt by the Partnership of any undertaking by or on behalf of the Indemnitee to repay such amount if it shall be ultimately determined that the Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified as authorized by this Section 7.7.

(c) The indemnification provided by this Section 7.7 shall be in addition to any other rights to which an Indemnitee may be entitled under any agreement, pursuant to any vote of the holders of Outstanding Limited Partner Interests, any vote by the Board of Directors, as a matter of law or otherwise, both as to actions in the Indemnitee’s status as an Indemnitee and as to actions in any other capacity (including any capacity under the Underwriting Agreement), and shall continue as to an Indemnitee who has ceased to hold the status with respect to which it was Indemnitee and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, successors, assigns and administrators of the Indemnitee; provided , that if an Indemnitee is also an Affiliate of a voting Person, the vote of such Person will be disregarded in the vote.

(d) The Partnership may purchase and maintain (or reimburse the General Partner or its Affiliates for the cost of) insurance, on behalf of the General Partner, its Affiliates and such other Persons as the General Partner shall determine, including the purchase and maintenance of insurance pursuant to the terms of the Administrative Agreement, against any liability that may be asserted against, or expense that may be incurred by, such Person in connection with the activities of the Group Member or its Affiliates or such Person’s activities on behalf of the Group Member or its Affiliates, regardless of whether the Partnership would have the power to indemnify such Person against such liability under the provisions of this Agreement.

(e) For purposes of this Section 7.7, the Partnership shall be deemed to have requested an Indemnitee to serve as fiduciary of an employee benefit plan whenever the performance by it of its duties to the Partnership also imposes duties on, or otherwise involves services by, it to the plan or participants or beneficiaries of the plan; excise taxes assessed on an Indemnitee with respect to an employee benefit plan pursuant to applicable law shall constitute “fines” within the meaning of Section 7.7(a); and action taken or omitted by it with respect to any employee benefit plan in the performance of its duties for a purpose reasonably believed by it to be in the best interest of the participants and beneficiaries of the plan shall be deemed to be for a purpose that is in the best interests of the Partnership.

(f) In no event may an Indemnitee subject the Limited Partners to personal liability by reason of the indemnification provisions set forth in this Agreement or have any obligation to contribute or loan any monies or property to the Partnership to enable it to effectuate such indemnification.

(g) An Indemnitee shall not be denied indemnification in whole or in part under this Section 7.7 because the Indemnitee had an interest in the transaction with respect to which the indemnification applies if the transaction was otherwise permitted by the terms of this Agreement.

(h) The provisions of this Section 7.7 are for the benefit of the Indemnitees, their heirs, successors, assigns and administrators and shall not be deemed to create any rights for the benefit of any other Persons.

(i) No amendment, modification or repeal of this Section 7.7 or any provision hereof shall in any manner terminate, reduce or impair the right of any past, present or future Indemnitee to be indemnified by the any Group Member or any Affiliate of a Group Member, nor the obligations of the Group Member or such Affiliate to indemnify any such Indemnitee

under and in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.7 as in effect immediately prior to such amendment, modification or repeal with respect to claims arising from or relating to matters occurring, in whole or-in part, prior to such amendment, modification or repeal, regardless of when such claims may arise or be asserted.

Section 7.8 Liability of Indemnitees .

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, no Indemnitee shall be liable for monetary damages to the Partnership, the Limited Partners or any other Persons who have acquired interests in the Partnership Interests, for losses sustained solely due to the fact that the Indemnitee holds the status which respect to which it is an Indemnitee 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.

(b) Subject to its obligations and duties as General Partner set forth in Section 7.1(a), the General Partner may exercise any of the powers granted to it by this Agreement and perform any of the duties imposed upon it hereunder 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.

(d) Any amendment, modification or repeal of this Section 7.8 or any provision hereof shall be prospective only and shall not in any way affect the limitations on the liability of the Indemnitees under this Section 7.8 as in effect immediately prior to such amendment, modification or repeal with respect to claims arising from or relating to matters occurring, in whole or in part, prior to such amendment, modification or repeal, regardless of when such claims may arise or be asserted.

Section 7.9 Resolution of Conflicts of Interest; Standards of Conduct and Modification of Duties .

(a) Unless otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, whenever a potential conflict of interest exists or arises between the General Partner or any of its Affiliates, any Existing Owner or any of their respective Affiliates or any Affiliate of the Partnership that may “control” (as that term is defined in the definition of “Affiliate” hereunder) the Partnership, on the one hand, and the Partnership, any Group Member or any Partner, on the other, any resolution or course of action by the General Partner or its Affiliates in respect of such conflict of interest shall be permitted and deemed approved by all Partners, and shall not constitute a breach

of this Agreement, or of any agreement contemplated herein or therein, or of any duty stated or implied by law or equity, if the resolution or course of action in respect of such conflict of interest is (i) approved by Special Approval, (ii) approved by the vote of a Share Majority (excluding Shares owned by the General Partner and its Affiliates), (iii) determined by the General Partner (after due inquiry) to be on terms no less favorable to the Partnership than those generally being provided to or available from unrelated third parties or (iv) approved by the General Partner (after due inquiry) based on a subjective belief that the course of action or determination that is the subject of such approval is fair and reasonable to the Partnership, which may include taking into account the circumstances and the relationships among the parties involved (including the short-term or long-term interests of the Partnership and other arrangements or relationships that could be considered favorable or advantageous to the Partnership), including (A) the relative interests of any party to such conflict, agreement, transaction or situation and the benefits and burdens relating to such interest; (B) any customary or accepted industry practices and any customary or historical dealings with a particular Person; (C) any applicable generally accepted accounting practices or principles; and (D) such additional factors as the General Partner (including the Conflicts Committee) determines in its sole discretion to be relevant, reasonable or appropriate under the circumstances. Nothing contained in this Agreement, however, is intended to nor shall it be construed to require the General Partner (including the Conflicts Committee) to consider the interests of any Person other than the Partnership. The General Partner shall be authorized but not required in connection with its resolution of such conflict of interest to seek Special Approval of such resolution, and the General Partner may also adopt a resolution or course of action that has not received Special Approval. In making any determination under this Section 7.9(a), it shall be presumed that the Conflicts Committee, the General Partner and the Board of Directors (as applicable) have satisfied the contractual standards set forth in this Agreement and any Person challenging such determination shall have the burden of overcoming such presumption as provided in Section 7.9(e). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any duty otherwise existing at law or equity, the existence of the conflicts of interest described in the Registration Statement are hereby approved by all Partners and shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement or any duty otherwise existing at law, in equity or otherwise.

(b) Whenever the General Partner makes a determination or takes or declines to take any other action, or any of its Affiliates causes it to do so, in its capacity as the general partner of the Partnership as opposed to in its individual capacity, whether under this Agreement, or any other agreement contemplated hereby or otherwise, then unless another express standard is provided for in this Agreement or such other agreement, the General Partner, or such Affiliates causing it to do so, shall make such determination or take or decline to take such other action in good faith and shall not be subject to any other or different standards (including fiduciary standards) imposed by this Agreement, any other agreement contemplated hereby or under the Delaware Act or any other law, rule or regulation or at equity. In order for a determination or other action to be in “good faith” for purposes of this Agreement, the Person or Persons making such determination or taking or declining to take such other action must subjectively believe that the determination, other action or anticipated result thereof is in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Partnership, and in connection therewith such Person or Persons may take into account the circumstances and relationships involved (including the short-term or long-term

interests of the Partnership and other arrangements or relationships that could be considered favorable or advantageous to the Partnership).

(c) Whenever the General Partner makes a determination or takes or declines to take any other action, or any of its Affiliates causes it to do so, in its individual capacity as opposed to in its capacity as the general partner of the Partnership, whether under this Agreement, any Group Member Agreement or any other agreement contemplated hereby or otherwise, then the General Partner, or such Affiliates causing it to do so, are entitled, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to make such determination or to take or decline to take such other action free of any duty (including any fiduciary duty) or obligation whatsoever to the Partnership, any Limited Partner, and any other Person bound by this Agreement, and the General Partner, or such Affiliates causing it to do so, shall not, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be required to act in good faith or pursuant to any other standard imposed by this Agreement, any Group Member Agreement, any other agreement contemplated hereby or under the Delaware Act or any other law, rule or regulation or at equity. By way of illustration and not of limitation, whenever the phrase, “at the option of the General Partner,” or some variation of that phrase, is used in this Agreement, it indicates that the General Partner is acting in its individual capacity. For the avoidance of doubt, whenever the General Partner votes or transfers its Partnership Interests, or refrains from voting or transferring its Partnership Interests, it shall be acting in its individual capacity.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the General Partner and its Affiliates shall have no duty or obligation, express or implied, to (i) sell or otherwise dispose of any asset of the Partnership Group other than in the ordinary course of business or (ii) permit any Group Member to use any facilities or assets of the General Partner and its Affiliates, except as may be provided in contracts entered into from time to time specifically dealing with such use. Any determination by the General Partner or any of its Affiliates to enter into such contracts shall be at its option.

(e) Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement or required by the Delaware Act, to the maximum extent permitted by the Delaware Act or other applicable law, neither the General Partner nor any other Indemnitee shall have any duties or liabilities, including fiduciary duties, to the Partnership or any Limited Partner notwithstanding anything to the contrary in existing law, in equity or otherwise; and the provisions of this Agreement, to the extent that they restrict, eliminate or otherwise modify the duties and liabilities, including fiduciary duties, of the General Partner or any other Indemnitee otherwise existing at law or in equity, are agreed by the Partners to replace such other duties and liabilities of the General Partner or such other Indemnitee. To the fullest extent permitted by law, in connection with any action or inaction of, or determination made by, the General Partner or any other Indemnitee with respect to any matter relating to the Partnership, it shall be presumed that the General Partner and other Indemnitees acted in a manner that satisfied the contractual standards set forth in this Agreement, and in any proceeding brought by any Limited Partner or by or on behalf of such Limited Partner or any other Limited Partner or the Partnership challenging any such action or inaction of, or determination made by, of the General Partner or any other Indemnitee, the Person bringing or prosecuting such proceeding shall have the burden of overcoming such presumption.

(f) The Shareholders and the Class C Shareholders hereby authorize the General Partner, on behalf of the Partnership as a partner or member of a Group Member, to approve of actions by the general partner or managing member of such Group Member similar to those actions permitted to be taken by the General Partner pursuant to this Section 7.9.

(g) Where a determination requires “due inquiry,” the Person or Persons making such determination or taking or declining to take such action must subjectively believe that such Person or Persons had available adequate information to make such determination or to take or decline to take such action in accordance with the applicable contractual standard.

Section 7.10 Other Matters Concerning the General Partner .

(a) The General Partner and any Indemnitee may rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, bond, debenture or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties.

(b) The General Partner may consult with legal counsel, accountants, appraisers, management consultants, investment bankers and other consultants and advisers selected by it, and any act taken or omitted to be taken in reliance upon and in accordance with the opinion (including an Opinion of Counsel) of such Persons as to matters that the General Partner reasonably believes to be within such Person’s professional or expert competence shall be conclusively presumed to have been done or omitted in good faith.

(c) The General Partner shall have the right, in respect of any of its powers or obligations hereunder, to act through any of its duly authorized officers, a duly appointed attorney or attorneys-in-fact or the duly authorized officers or agents of the Partnership or any Group Member.

Section 7.11 Purchase or Sale of Partnership Interests . The General Partner may cause the Partnership to purchase or otherwise acquire Partnership Interests. As long as Partnership Interests are held by any Group Member, such Partnership Interests shall not be considered Outstanding for any purpose, except as otherwise provided herein. The General Partner or any Affiliate of the General Partner may also purchase or otherwise acquire and sell or otherwise dispose of Partnership Interests for its own account, subject to the provisions of this Section 7.11 and Articles IV and X.

Section 7.12 Reliance by Third Parties . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, any Person (other than the General Partner and its Affiliates) dealing with the Partnership shall be entitled to assume that the General Partner and any officer of the General Partner authorized by the General Partner to act on behalf of and in the name of the Partnership has full power and authority to encumber, sell or otherwise use in any manner any and all assets of the Partnership and to enter into any authorized contracts on behalf of the Partnership, and such Person shall be entitled to deal with the General Partner or any such officer as if it were the Partnership’s sole party in interest, both legally and beneficially. Each Limited Partner hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any and all defenses or other remedies that may be available against such Person to contest, negate or disaffirm any action of the General Partner or

any such officer in connection with any such dealing. In no event shall any Person (other than the General Partner or its Affiliates) dealing with the General Partner or any such officer or its representatives be obligated to ascertain that the terms of this Agreement have been complied with or to inquire into the necessity or expedience of any act or action of the General Partner or any such officer or its representatives. Each and every certificate, document or other instrument executed on behalf of the Partnership by the General Partner or any such officer or its representatives shall be conclusive evidence in favor of any and every Person relying thereon or claiming thereunder that (a) at the time of the execution and delivery of such certificate, document or instrument, this Agreement was in full force and effect, (b) the Person executing and delivering such certificate, document or instrument was duly authorized and empowered to do so for and on behalf of the Partnership and (c) such certificate, document or instrument was duly executed and delivered in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement and is binding upon the Partnership.

If the General Partner gives a notice of withdrawal pursuant to Section 11.1(a)(i), the holders of a Share Majority, may, prior to the effective date of such withdrawal, elect a successor General Partner. The Person so elected as successor General Partner shall automatically become the successor general partner or managing member, to the extent applicable, of the other Group Members of which the General Partner is a general partner or a managing member, and is hereby authorized to, and shall, continue the business of the Partnership, and, to the extent applicable, the other Group Members, without dissolution.

Any such action by such holders for removal of the General Partner must also provide for the election of a successor General Partner by the Shareholders holding a Share Majority (including Shares held by the General Partner, the Existing Owners and their permitted transferees and their respective Affiliates). Such removal shall be effective immediately following the admission of a successor General Partner pursuant to Section 10.3. The removal of the General Partner shall also automatically constitute the removal of the General Partner as general partner or managing member, to the extent applicable, of the other Group Members of which the General Partner is a general partner or a managing member. If a Person is elected as a successor General Partner in accordance with the terms of this Section 11.2, such Person shall, upon admission pursuant to Section 10.3, automatically become a successor general partner or managing member, to the extent applicable, of the other Group Members of which the General Partner is a general partner or a managing member and is hereby authorized to, and shall, continue the business of the Partnership, and, to the extent applicable, the other Group Members, without dissolution. The right of the holders of Outstanding Shares to remove the General Partner shall not exist or be exercised unless the Partnership has received an opinion opining as to the matters covered by a Withdrawal Opinion of Counsel. Any successor General Partner elected in accordance with the terms of this Section 11.2 shall be subject to the provisions of Section 10.3.

Section 11.3 Interest of Departing General Partner and Successor General Partner .

(a) In the event of (i) withdrawal of the General Partner under circumstances where such withdrawal does not violate this Agreement or (ii) removal of the General Partner by the

holders of Outstanding Shares under circumstances where Cause does not exist, if the successor General Partner is elected in accordance with the terms of Section 11.1 or 11.2, the Departing General Partner shall have the option exercisable prior to the effective date of the withdrawal or removal of such Departing General Partner to require its successor to purchase (x) its General Partner Interest and (y) its general partner interest (or equivalent interest), if any, in the other Group Members ((x) and (y) collectively, the “ Combined Interest ”) in exchange for an amount in cash equal to the fair market value of such Combined Interest, such amount to be determined and payable as of the effective date of its withdrawal or removal. If the General Partner is removed by the Shareholders under circumstances where Cause exists or if the General Partner withdraws under circumstances where such withdrawal violates this Agreement, and if a successor General Partner is elected in accordance with the terms of Section 11.1 or 11.2 (or if the business of the Partnership is continued pursuant to Section 12.2 and the successor General Partner is not the former General Partner), such successor shall have the option, exercisable prior to the effective date of the withdrawal or removal of such Departing General Partner (or, in the event the business of the Partnership is continued, prior to the date the business of the Partnership is continued), to purchase the Combined Interest for such fair market value of such Combined Interest. In either event, the Departing General Partner shall be entitled to receive (y) all reimbursements due such Departing General Partner pursuant to Section 7.4, including any employee-related liabilities (including severance liabilities), incurred in connection with the termination of any employees employed by the Departing General Partner or its Affiliates (other than any Group Member) for the benefit of the Partnership or the other Group Members and (z) any other out-of-pocket expenses or liabilities directly or indirectly relating to the withdrawal or removal of the General Partner.

For purposes of this Section 11.3(a), the fair market value of the Departing General Partner’s Combined Interest shall be determined by agreement between the Departing General Partner and its successor or, failing agreement within 30 days after the effective date of such Departing General Partner’s withdrawal or removal, by an independent investment banking firm or other independent expert selected by the Departing General Partner and its successor, which, in turn, may rely on other experts, and the determination of which shall be conclusive as to such matter. If such parties cannot agree upon one independent investment banking firm or other independent expert within 45 days after the effective date of such departure, then the Departing General Partner shall designate an independent investment banking firm or other independent expert, the Departing General Partner’s successor shall designate an independent investment banking firm or other independent expert, and such firms or experts shall mutually select a third independent investment banking firm or independent expert, which third independent investment banking firm or other independent expert shall determine the fair market value of the Combined Interest of the Departing General Partner. In making its determination, such third independent investment banking firm or other independent expert may consider the then current trading price of Shares on any National Securities Exchange on which Shares are then listed or admitted to trading, the value of the Partnership’s assets, the rights and obligations of the Departing General Partner and other factors it may deem relevant.

(b) If the Combined Interest is not purchased in the manner set forth in Section 11.3(a), the Departing General Partner (or its transferee) shall become a Limited Partner and its Combined Interest shall be converted into Class A Shares pursuant to a valuation made by an

investment banking firm or other independent expert selected pursuant to Section 11.3(a), without reduction in such Partnership Interest (but subject to proportionate dilution by reason of the admission of its successor). Any successor General Partner shall indemnify the Departing General Partner (or its transferee) as to all debts and liabilities of the Partnership arising on or after the date on which the Departing General Partner (or its transferee) becomes a Limited Partner. For purposes of this Agreement, conversion of the Combined Interest of the Departing General Partner to Class A Shares will be characterized as if the Departing General Partner (or its transferee) contributed its Combined Interest to the Partnership in exchange for the newly issued Class A Shares.

(c) If a successor General Partner is elected in accordance with the terms of Section 11.1 or Section 11.2 (or if the business of the Partnership is continued pursuant to Section 12.2 and the successor General Partner is not the former General Partner) and the option described in Section 11.3(a) is not exercised by the party entitled to do so, the successor General Partner shall, at the effective date of its admission to the Partnership, be issued the General Partner Interest.

Section 11.4 Withdrawal of Limited Partners . No Limited Partner shall have any right to withdraw from the Partnership; provided , however , that when a transferee of a Limited Partner’s Limited Partner Interest becomes a Record Holder of the Limited Partner Interest so transferred, such transferring Limited Partner shall cease to be a Limited Partner with respect to the Limited Partner Interest so transferred.

Unless such an election is made within the applicable time period as set forth above, the Partnership shall conduct only activities necessary to wind up its affairs. If such an election is so made, then:

Section 12.3 Liquidator . Upon dissolution of the Partnership, unless the business of the Partnership is continued pursuant to Section 12.2, the General Partner shall select one or more Persons to act as Liquidator. The Liquidator (if other than the General Partner) shall be entitled to receive such compensation for its services as may be approved by holders of at least a majority of the Outstanding Class A Shares. The Liquidator (if other than the General Partner) shall agree not to resign at any time without 15 days’ prior notice and may be removed at any time, with or without cause, by notice of removal approved by holders of at least a majority of the Outstanding Class A Shares. Upon dissolution, removal or resignation of the Liquidator, a successor and substitute Liquidator (who shall have and succeed to all rights, powers and duties of the original Liquidator) shall within 30 days thereafter be approved by holders of at least a Share Majority. The right to approve a successor or substitute Liquidator in the manner provided herein shall be deemed to refer also to any such successor or substitute Liquidator approved in the manner herein provided. Except as expressly provided in this Article XII, the Liquidator approved in the manner provided herein shall have and may exercise, without further authorization or consent of any of the parties hereto, all of the powers conferred upon the General Partner under the terms of this Agreement (but subject to all of the applicable limitations, contractual and otherwise, upon the exercise of such powers, other than the limitation on sale set forth in Section 7.3) necessary or appropriate to carry out the duties and functions of the Liquidator hereunder for and during the period of time required to complete the winding up and liquidation of the Partnership as provided for herein.

Section 12.4 Liquidation . The Liquidator shall proceed to dispose of the assets of the Partnership, discharge its liabilities, and otherwise wind up its affairs in such manner and over such period as determined by the Liquidator, subject to Section 17-804 of the Delaware Act and the following:

(a) Disposition of Assets . The assets may be disposed of by public or private sale or by distribution in kind to one or more Partners on such terms as the Liquidator and such Partner or Partners may agree. If any property is distributed in kind, the Partner receiving the property shall be deemed for purposes of Section 12.4(c) to have received cash equal to its fair market value; and contemporaneously therewith, appropriate cash distributions must be made to the other Partners. The Liquidator may defer liquidation or distribution of the Partnership’s assets for a reasonable time if it determines that an immediate sale or distribution of all or some of the Partnership’s assets would be impractical or would cause undue loss to the Partners. The Liquidator may distribute the Partnership’s assets, in whole or in part, in kind if it determines that a sale would be impractical or would cause undue loss to the Partners.

(b) Discharge of Liabilities . Liabilities of the Partnership include amounts owed to the Liquidator as compensation for serving in such capacity (subject to the terms of Section 12.3) and amounts to Partners otherwise than in respect of their distribution rights under Article VI. With respect to any liability that is contingent, conditional or unmatured or is otherwise not yet due and payable, the Liquidator shall either settle such claim for such amount as it thinks appropriate or establish a reserve of cash or other assets to provide for its payment. When paid, any unused portion of the reserve shall be distributed as additional liquidation proceeds.

Section 12.5 Cancellation of Certificate of Limited Partnership .

In no event shall the public announcement of an adjournment or postponement of a special meeting commence a new time period (or extend any time period) for the giving of a Limited Partner’s notice as described above.

(C) (1) Only such persons who are nominated in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 13.4(c)(ii) shall be eligible to be elected at an annual or special meeting of Limited Partners to serve as Eligible Directors.

Except as otherwise provided by law, the chairman designated by the General Partner pursuant to Section 13.10 shall have the power and duty (a) to determine whether a nomination was made in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 13.4(c)(ii) (including whether the Limited Partner or beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the nomination is made or solicited (or is part of a group which solicited) or did not so solicit, as the case may be, proxies in support of such Limited Partner’s nominee in compliance with such Limited Partner’s representation as required by clause (A)(3)(b)(vi) of this Section 13.4(c)(ii)) and (b) if any proposed nomination was not made in compliance with this Section 13.4(c)(ii), to declare that such nomination shall be disregarded. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 13.4(c)(ii) unless otherwise required by law, if the Limited Partner (or a qualified representative of the Limited Partner) does not appear at the annual or special meeting of Limited Partners to present a nomination, such nomination shall be disregarded notwithstanding that proxies in respect of such vote may have been received by the General Partner or the Partnership. For purposes of this Section 13.4(c)(ii), to be considered a qualified representative of the Limited Partner, a person must be a duly authorized officer, manager or partner of such Limited Partner or must be authorized by a writing executed by such Limited Partner or an electronic transmission delivered by such Limited Partner to act for such Limited Partner as proxy at the meeting of Limited Partners and such person must produce such writing or electronic transmission, or a reliable reproduction of the writing or electronic transmission, at the meeting of Limited Partners.

(2) For purposes of this Section 13.4(c)(ii), “public announcement” shall include disclosure in a press release reported by a national news service or in a document publicly filed by the Partnership or the General Partner with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Section 13, 14 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder.

(3) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 13.4(c)(ii), a Limited Partner shall also comply with all applicable requirements of the Securities Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder with respect to the matters set forth in this Section 13.4(c)(ii); provided however, that any references in this Agreement to the Securities Exchange Act or the rules promulgated thereunder are not intended to and shall not limit any requirements applicable to nominations pursuant to this Section 13.4(c)(ii) (including paragraphs (A) and (B) hereof), and compliance with paragraphs (A) and (B) of this Section 13.4(c)(ii) shall be the exclusive means for a Limited Partner to make nominations.

(iii) This Section 13.4(c) shall not be deemed in any way to limit or impair the ability of the Board of Directors to adopt a “poison pill” or shareholder or other similar rights plan with respect to the Partnership, whether such poison pill or plan contains “dead hand” provisions, “no hand” provisions or other provisions relating to the redemption of the poison pill or plan, in each case as such terms are used under Delaware common law.

(iv) The General Partner shall use commercially reasonable efforts to take such action as shall be necessary or appropriate to give effect to and implement the provisions of this Section 13.4(c) , including, without limitation, amending the Holdings GP LLC Agreement such that at all times the Holdings GP LLC Agreement shall provide that the Eligible Directors shall be nominated and elected in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(v) If the General Partner delegates to an existing or newly formed wholly-owned subsidiary the power and authority to manage and control the business and affairs of the Partnership Group, the foregoing provisions of this Section 13.4(c) shall be applicable with respect to the board of directors or other governing body of such subsidiary.

(e) The exercise by a Limited Partner of the right to vote in an election of the Eligible Directors and any other rights afforded to a Limited Partner under this Article XIII shall be taken in such Limited Partner’s capacity as a limited partner of the Partnership and shall not cause a Limited Partner to be deemed to be taking part in the management and control of the business and affairs of the Partnership so as to jeopardize such Limited Partner’s limited liability under the Delaware Act or the law of any other state in which the Partnership is qualified to do business.

Section 13.5 Notice of a Meeting . Notice of a meeting called pursuant to Section 13.4 shall be given to the Record Holders of the class or classes of Shares or other Partnership Interests for which a meeting is proposed in writing by mail or other means of written communication in accordance with Section 16.1. The notice shall be deemed to have been given at the time when deposited in the mail or sent by other means of written communication.

Section 13.6 Record Date . For purposes of determining the Limited Partners entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of the Limited Partners or to give approvals without a meeting as provided in Section 13.11 the General Partner may set a Record Date, which shall not be less than 10 nor more than 60 days before (a) the date of the meeting (unless such requirement conflicts with any rule, regulation, guideline or requirement of any National Securities Exchange on which the Shares or other Partnership Interests are listed or admitted to trading, in which case the rule, regulation, guideline or requirement of such National Securities Exchange shall govern) or (b) in the event that approvals are sought without a meeting, the date by which Limited Partners are requested in writing by the General Partner to give such approvals. If the General Partner does not set a Record Date, then (i) the Record Date for determining the Limited Partners entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of the Limited Partners shall be the close of business on the day immediately preceding the day on which notice is given, and (ii) the Record Date for determining the Limited Partners entitled to give approvals without a meeting shall be the date the first written approval is deposited with the Partnership in care of the General Partner in accordance with Section 13.11.

Section 13.7 Adjournment . When a meeting is adjourned to another time or place, notice need not be given of the adjourned meeting and a new Record Date need not be fixed, if the time and place thereof are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken, unless such adjournment shall be for more than 45 days. At the adjourned meeting, the Partnership may transact any business which might have been transacted at the original meeting. If the adjournment is for more than 45 days or if a new Record Date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given in accordance with this Article XIII.

Section 13.8 Waiver of Notice; Approval of Meeting; Approval of Minutes . The transactions of any meeting of Limited Partners, however called and noticed, and whenever held, shall be as valid as if it had occurred at a meeting duly held after regular call and notice, if a quorum is present, either in person or by proxy. Attendance of a Limited Partner at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of the meeting, except when the Limited Partner attends the meeting for the express purpose of objecting, at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened; and except that attendance at a meeting is not a waiver of any right to disapprove the consideration of matters required to be included in the notice of the meeting, but not so included, if the disapproval is expressly made at the meeting.

Section 13.9 Quorum . The holders of a majority of the Outstanding Shares (or other Partnership Interests) of the class or classes for which a meeting has been called (including Shares (or other Partnership Interests) deemed owned by the General Partner), taken together as a class, represented, in person or by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at a meeting of Limited Partners of such class or classes unless any such action by the Limited Partners requires approval by holders of a greater percentage of such Shares or other Partnership Interests, in which case the quorum shall be such greater percentage. With respect to each action at any meeting of the Limited Partners duly called and held in accordance with this Agreement at which a quorum is present, the act of Limited Partners holding Outstanding Shares or other Partnership Interests that in the aggregate represent a majority of the Outstanding Shares or other Partnership Interests entitled to vote on such action and present, in person or by proxy, at such meeting shall be deemed to constitute the act of all Limited Partners, unless a greater or different percentage is required with respect to such action under the provisions of this Agreement, in which case the act of the Limited Partners holding Outstanding Shares or other Partnership Interests that in the aggregate represent at least such greater or different percentage shall be required. The Limited Partners present at a duly called or held meeting at which a quorum is present may continue to transact business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough Limited Partners to leave less than a quorum, if any action taken (other than adjournment) is approved by the required percentage of Outstanding Shares or other Partnership Interests specified in this Agreement (including Outstanding Shares or other Partnership Interests deemed owned by the General Partner). In the absence of a quorum any meeting of Limited Partners may be adjourned from time to time by the affirmative vote of holders of at least a majority of the Outstanding Shares or other Partnership Interests entitled to vote at such meeting (including Outstanding Shares or other Partnership Interests deemed owned by the General Partner) represented either in person or by proxy, but no other business may be transacted, except as provided in Section 13.7. For the avoidance of doubt, holders of a class of Shares or other Partnership Interests shall not be

deemed to have the right to vote on any action at a meeting due to such class of Shares or Partnership Interests being counted towards the existence of a quorum at such meeting.

Section 13.10 Conduct of a Meeting . The General Partner shall have full power and authority concerning the manner of conducting any meeting of the Limited Partners or solicitation of approvals in writing, including the determination of Persons entitled to vote, the existence of a quorum, the satisfaction of the requirements of Section 13.4, the conduct of voting, the validity and effect of any proxies and the determination of any controversies, votes or challenges arising in connection with or during the meeting or voting. The General Partner shall designate a Person to serve as chairman of any meeting and shall further designate a Person to take the minutes of any meeting. All minutes shall be kept with the records of the Partnership maintained by the General Partner. The General Partner may make such other regulations consistent with applicable law and this Agreement as it may deem advisable concerning the conduct of any meeting of the Limited Partners or solicitation of approvals in writing, including regulations in regard to the appointment of proxies, the appointment and duties of inspectors of votes and approvals, the submission and examination of proxies and other evidence of the right to vote, and the revocation of approvals, proxies and votes in writing.

Section 13.11 Action Without a Meeting . If authorized by the General Partner, any action that may be taken at a meeting of the Limited Partners (other than the election of Eligible Directors) may be taken without a meeting, without a vote and without prior notice, if an approval in writing setting forth the action so taken is signed by Limited Partners owning not less than the minimum percentage of the Outstanding Shares or other Partnership Interests (including Shares or other Partnership Interests deemed owned by the General Partner) that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all the Limited Partners were present and voted (unless such provision conflicts with any rule, regulation, guideline or requirement of any National Securities Exchange on which the Shares or other Partnership Interests are listed or admitted to trading, in which case the rule, regulation, guideline or requirement of such National Securities Exchange shall govern). Prompt notice of the taking of action without a meeting shall be given to the Limited Partners who have not approved in writing. The General Partner may specify that any written ballot, if any, submitted to Limited Partners for the purpose of taking any action without a meeting shall be returned to the Partnership within the time period, which shall be not less than 20 days, specified by the General Partner. If a ballot returned to the Partnership does not vote all of the Shares or other Partnership Interests held by the Limited Partners, the Partnership shall be deemed to have failed to receive a ballot for the Shares or other Partnership Interests that were not voted. If approval of the taking of any action by the Limited Partners is solicited by any Person other than by or on behalf of the General Partner, the written approvals shall have no force and effect unless and until (a) they are deposited with the Partnership in care of the General Partner, (b) approvals sufficient to take the action proposed are dated as of a date not more than 90 days prior to the date sufficient approvals are deposited with the Partnership and (c) an Opinion of Counsel is delivered to the General Partner to the effect that the exercise of such right and the action proposed to be taken with respect to any particular matter (i) will not cause the Limited Partners to be deemed to be taking part in the management and control of the business and affairs of the Partnership so as to jeopardize the Limited Partners’ limited liability, and (ii) is otherwise permissible under the state statutes then governing the rights, duties and liabilities of the Partnership and the Partners.

Nothing contained in this Section 13.11 shall be deemed to require the General Partner to solicit all Limited Partners in connection with a matter approved by the holders of the requisite percentage of Shares acting by written consent without a meeting.

Section 13.12 Voting and Other Rights .

(a) Only those Record Holders of the Outstanding Shares or other Partnership Interests on the Record Date set pursuant to Section 13.6 (and also subject to the limitations contained in the definition of “ Outstanding ”) shall be entitled to notice of, and to vote at, a meeting of Limited Partners or to act with respect to matters as to which the holders of the Outstanding Shares or other Partnership Interests have the right to vote or to act. All references in this Agreement to votes of, or other acts that may be taken by, the Outstanding Shares or other Partnership Interests shall be deemed to be references to the votes or acts of the Record Holders of such Outstanding Shares or other Partnership Interests.

(b) With respect to Shares or other Partnership Interests that are held for a Person’s account by another Person (such as a broker, dealer, bank, trust company or clearing corporation, or an agent of any of the foregoing), in whose name such Shares or other Partnership Interests are registered, such other Person shall, in exercising the voting rights in respect of such Shares or other Partnership Interests on any matter, and unless the arrangement between such Persons provides otherwise, vote such Shares or other Partnership Interests in favor of, and at the direction of, the Person who is the beneficial owner, and the Partnership shall be entitled to assume it is so acting without further inquiry. The provisions of this Section 13.12(b) (as well as all other provisions of this Agreement) are subject to the provisions of Section 4.3.

Section 13.13 Class C Shares . For the avoidance of doubt, other than any right to consent to amendments to this Agreement in accordance with Section 13.3(b) or Section 13.3(c) and the right to vote in the election of Eligible Directors in accordance with Section 13.4(c), the Class C Shareholders have no voting or consent rights under this Agreement.

(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if at any time the General Partner, the Existing Owners and their permitted transferees and their respective Affiliates hold more than 80% of the total Limited Partner Interests of any class then Outstanding (and treating the Class A Shares and Class B Shares as a single class of Limited Partner Interest), the General Partner shall then have the right, which right it may assign and transfer in whole or in part to the Partnership or any other designee, exercisable at its option, to purchase all, but not less than all, of such Limited Partner Interests of such class (treating the Class A Shares and Class B Shares as a single class of Limited Partner Interest) then Outstanding held by Persons other than the General Partner, the Existing Owners and their permitted transferees and their respective Affiliates, at the greater of (x) the Current Market Price as of the date three days prior to the date that the notice described in Section 15.1(b) is mailed and (y) the highest price paid by the General Partner, the Existing Owners or any of their respective Affiliates for any such Limited Partner Interest of such class purchased during the 90-day period preceding the date that the notice described in Section 15.1(b) is mailed. As used in this Agreement, (i) “ Current Market Price ” as of any date of any class of Limited Partner Interests means the average of the daily Closing Prices (as hereinafter defined) per Limited Partner Interest of such class for the 20 consecutive Trading Days (as hereinafter defined) immediately prior to such date; (ii) “ Closing Price ” for any day means the last sale price on such day, regular way, or in case no such sale takes place on such day, the average of the closing bid and asked prices on such day, regular way, as reported in the principal consolidated transaction reporting system with respect to securities listed or admitted to trading on the principal National Securities Exchange on which such Limited Partner Interests are listed or admitted to trading or, if such Limited Partner Interests of such class are not listed or admitted to trading on any National Securities Exchange,

the last quoted price on such day or, if not so quoted, the average of the high bid and low asked prices on such day in the over-the-counter market, as reported by any quotation system then in use with respect to such Limited Partner interests, or, if on any such day such Limited Partner Interests of such class are not quoted by any such organization, the average of the closing bid and asked prices on such day as furnished by a professional market maker making a market in such Limited Partner Interests of such class selected by the General Partner, or if on any such day no market maker is making a market in such Limited Partner Interests of such class, the fair value of such Limited Partner Interests on such day as determined by the General Partner; and (iii) “ Trading Day ” means a day on which the principal National Securities Exchange on which such Limited Partner Interests of any class are listed or admitted to trading is open for the transaction of business or, if Limited Partner Interests of a class are not listed or admitted to trading on any National Securities Exchange, a day on which banking institutions in New York City generally are open.

(b) If the General Partner, any Affiliate of the General Partner or the Partnership elects to exercise the right to purchase Limited Partner Interests granted pursuant to Section 15.1(a), the General Partner shall deliver to the Transfer Agent notice of such election to purchase (the “ Notice of Election to Purchase ”) and shall cause the Transfer Agent to mail a copy of such Notice of Election to Purchase to the Record Holders of Limited Partner Interests of such class (as of a Record Date selected by the General Partner) at least 10, but not more than 60, days prior to the Purchase Date. Such Notice of Election to Purchase shall also be published for a period of at least three consecutive days in at least two daily newspapers of general circulation printed in the English language and published in the Borough of Manhattan, New York. The Notice of Election to Purchase shall specify the Purchase Date and the price (determined in accordance with Section 15.1(a)) at which Limited Partner Interests will be purchased and state that the General Partner, its Affiliate or the Partnership, as the case may be, elects to purchase such Limited Partner Interests, upon surrender of Certificates representing such Limited Partner Interests, or other evidence of the issuance of uncertificated Shares, in exchange for payment, at such office or offices of the Transfer Agent as the Transfer Agent may specify, or as may be required by any National Securities Exchange on which such Limited Partner Interests are listed or admitted to trading. Any such Notice of Election to Purchase mailed to a Record Holder of Limited Partner Interests at his address as reflected in the records of the Transfer Agent shall be conclusively presumed to have been given regardless of whether the owner receives such notice. On or prior to the Purchase Date, the General Partner, its Affiliate or the Partnership, as the case may be, shall deposit with the Transfer Agent cash in an amount sufficient to pay the aggregate purchase price of all of such Limited Partner Interests to be purchased in accordance with this Section 15.1.

LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION

6.1 Limitation on Liability of the Sole Member, Conflicts Committee Members and Officers .

(a) Subject to, and as limited by, the provisions of this Agreement, the Sole Member and the Conflicts Committee Members, in the performance of their duties as such, shall not, to the maximum extent permitted by the Act or other applicable law, owe any duties (including fiduciary duties) as a member or Conflicts Committee Member of the Company, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in existing law, in equity or otherwise; provided, however , that for the avoidance of doubt nothing set forth herein shall be deemed to limit the obligations of the “General Partner” under the MLP Partnership Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, no Indemnitee shall be liable for monetary damages to the Company or the Sole Member, for losses sustained or liabilities incurred as a result of any act or omission of an Indemnitee in connection with the conduct of the business or affairs of the Company 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. Except as required by the Act, the Company’s debts, obligations, and liabilities, whether arising in contract, tort or otherwise, shall be solely the debts, obligations and liabilities of the Company, and no Indemnitee shall be personally responsible for any such debt, obligation or liability of the Company solely by reason of being an Indemnitee. The provisions of this Agreement, to the extent that they restrict, eliminate or otherwise modify the duties and liabilities, including fiduciary duties, of any Indemnitee otherwise existing at law or in equity, are agreed by the Sole Member to replace such duties and liabilities of such Indemnitee. To the fullest extent permitted by law, in connection with any action or inaction of, or determination made by, any Indemnitee with respect to any matter relating to the Company, it shall be presumed that the Indemnitee acted in a manner that satisfied the contractual standards set forth in this Agreement, and in any proceeding brought by or on behalf of the Sole Member challenging any such action or inaction of, or determination made by, any Indemnitee, the Person bringing or prosecuting such proceeding shall have the burden of overcoming such presumption.

(c) No amendment, modification or repeal of this Section 6.1 or any provision hereof shall in any manner terminate, reduce or impair the waiver or limitation on liability with respect to any past, present or future Indemnitee under and in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.1 as in effect immediately prior to such amendment, modification or repeal with respect to claims arising from or relating to matters occurring, in whole or-in part, prior to such amendment, modification or repeal, regardless of when such claims may arise or be asserted.

6.2 Indemnification .

(b) Expenses incurred by an Indemnitee in defending any claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding subject to Section 6.2(a) shall, from time to time, be advanced by the Company prior to the final disposition of such claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding upon receipt by the Company of an undertaking by or on behalf of the Indemnitee to repay such amounts if it is ultimately determined that the Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified as authorized in this Section 6.2 .

(c) The indemnification provided by this Section 6.2 shall be in addition to any other rights to which an Indemnitee may be entitled pursuant to any approval of the Sole Member, as a matter of law or equity, or otherwise, and shall continue as to an Indemnitee who has ceased to hold the status with respect to which it was an Indemnitee and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, successors, assigns, and administrators of such Indemnitee.

(d) The Company may purchase and maintain directors and officers insurance or similar coverage for its Conflicts Committee Members and Officers in such amounts and with such deductibles or self-insured retentions as determined by the Sole Member.

(e) Any indemnification hereunder shall be satisfied only out of the assets of the Company, and the Sole Member shall not be subject to personal liability by reason of the indemnification provisions under this Section 6.2 .

(f) An Indemnitee shall not be denied indemnification in whole or in part under this Section 6.2 because the Indemnitee had an interest in the transaction with respect to which the indemnification applies if the transaction was otherwise permitted by the terms of this

Agreement and all material facts relating to such Indemnitee’s interest were adequately disclosed to the Sole Member at the time the transaction was consummated.

(g) Subject to Section 6.2(c) , the provisions of this Section 6.2 are for the benefit of the Indemnitees and the heirs, successors, assigns and administrators of the Indemnitees and shall not be deemed to create any rights for the benefit of any other Persons.

(h) No amendment, modification or repeal of this Section 6.2 or any provision hereof shall in any manner terminate, reduce or impair the right of any past, present or future Indemnitee to be indemnified by the Company or any Affiliate of the Company, nor the obligations of the Company or such Affiliate to indemnify any such Indemnitee under and in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.2 as in effect immediately prior to such amendment, modification or repeal with respect to claims arising from or relating to matters occurring, in whole or in part, prior to such amendment, modification or repeal, regardless of when such claims may arise or be asserted.

ARTICLE 7
DISSOLUTION

7.1 Dissolution . The Company shall dissolve and its affairs shall be wound up at such time, if any, as the Sole Member may elect.

ARTICLE 8
MISCELLANEOUS

8.1 Waiver of Default . No consent or waiver, express or implied, by the Company or the Sole Member with respect to any breach or default by the Company or the Sole Member hereunder shall be deemed or construed to be a consent or waiver with respect to any other breach or default by any party of the same provision or any other provision of this Agreement. Failure on the part of the Company or the Sole Member to complain of any act or failure to act of the Company or the Sole Member or to declare such party in default shall not be deemed or constitute a waiver by the Company or the Sole Member of any rights hereunder.

3.2 Additional Capital Contributions

(a) No Partner shall be required to make any additional Capital Contribution.

(b) Subject to the restrictions contained in Section 3.5 of the Class B Restricted Unit Agreement, the Partnership may issue additional Partnership Interests to any Person with the approval of the General Partner. The names, addresses and Capital Contributions of the Partners shall be reflected in the books and records of the Partnership.

The amount of any such loan shall be a debt of the Partnership owed to such Partner in accordance with the terms and conditions upon which such loan is made.

(b) A Partner may (but shall not be obligated to) guarantee a loan made to the Partnership. If a Partner guarantees a loan made to the Partnership and is required to make payment pursuant to such guarantee to the maker of the loan, then the amounts so paid to the maker of the loan shall be treated as a loan by such Partner to the Partnership and not as an additional Capital Contribution.

3.4 Maintenance of Capital Accounts

(a) The Partnership shall maintain for each Partner a separate Capital Account with respect to the Limited Partnership Interest owned by such Partner in accordance with the following provisions:

(i) To each Partner’s Capital Account there shall be credited (A) such Partner’s Capital Contributions, (B) such Partner’s share of Profits and items of income and gain allocated to such Partner pursuant to Section 5.2 , and (C) the amount of any Partnership liabilities assumed by such Partner or which are secured by any Property distributed to such Partner. The principal amount of a promissory note which is not readily traded on an established securities market and which is contributed to the Partnership by the maker of the note (or a Partner related to the maker of the note within the meaning of Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(c)) shall not be included in the Capital Account of any Partner until the Partnership makes a taxable disposition of the

note or until (and only to the extent) principal payments are made on the note, all in accordance with Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(d)(2);

(ii) To each Partner’s Capital Account there shall be debited (A) the amount of money and the Gross Asset Value of any Property distributed or treated as an advance distribution to such Partner pursuant to any provision of this Agreement (including without limitation any distributions pursuant to Section 4.1 ), (B) such Partner’s share of Losses and items of loss and deduction allocated to such Partner pursuant to Section 5.2 , and (C) the amount of any liabilities of such Partner assumed by the Partnership or which are secured by any Property contributed by such Partner to the Partnership;

(b) The foregoing Section 3.4(a) and the other provisions of this Agreement relating to the maintenance of Capital Accounts are intended to comply with Regulation Section 1.704-1(b) and, to the greatest extent practicable, shall be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent with such Regulation. The General Partner in its discretion, and to the extent otherwise consistent with the terms of this Agreement, shall (i) make any adjustments that are necessary or appropriate to maintain equality between the Capital Accounts of the Partners and the amount of capital reflected on the Partnership’s balance sheet, as computed for book purposes, in accordance with Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(q), and (ii) make any appropriate modifications in the event unanticipated events might otherwise cause this Agreement not to comply with Regulation Section 1.704-1(b).

The Class B Units have been, and may in the future be, issued for zero consideration in order to provide additional incentives for the Class B Partners to build value for the Partnership and achieve its business goals. Each Class B Unit represents an interest in the Partnership of the nature commonly referred to as a “profits interest” (as described in Revenue Procedure 93-27, 1993-2 C.B. 343 and Revenue Procedure 2001-43, 2001-2 C.B. 191), and represents an interest in future Partnership profits and losses from operations, current distributions from operations, and an interest in future appreciation or depreciation in the Partnership asset values as set forth in this Agreement, but which does not represent an interest in Initial Grant Date Partnership Capital

or Subsequent Grant Date Partnership Capital (as applicable) as determined on the date such Class B Unit is or was issued.

3.7 General Partner Interest

The General Partner Interest is a non-economic interest and does not include any rights to profits or losses or any rights to receive distributions from operations or upon the liquidation or winding-up of the Partnership.

3.8 Splits

Any distribution, subdivision or combination of the Class A Units shall be accompanied by a simultaneous and proportionate distribution, subdivision or combination of the Class B Units pursuant to this Agreement, the General Partner Units pursuant to the Holdings GP LLC Agreement, and the PAGP Class A Shares, PAGP Class B Shares and PAGP Class C Shares pursuant to the PAGP LP Agreement, and vice versa. This provision shall not be amended unless corresponding changes are made the Holdings GP LLC Agreement and the PAGP LP Agreement.

An amount equal to 100% of Available Cash with respect to each fiscal quarter of the Partnership shall be distributed to the Partners, pro rata based on the number of Class A Units, Earned Units and/or Vested Units held, within forty-five days after the end of such quarter, assuming in the case of Earned Units and Vested Units, the conversion of such Units into Class A Units based on the Conversion Factor.

4.2 Persons Entitled to Distributions

Except as provided below, all distributions of Available Cash to Partners for a fiscal quarter pursuant to Section 4.1 shall be made to the Partners shown on the records of the Partnership to be entitled thereto as of the Record Date with respect to such quarter.

4.3 Limitations on Distributions

(a) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, no distributions shall be made except pursuant to Article IV , Article VII or Article VIII .

(b) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, no distribution hereunder shall be permitted if such distribution would violate Section 17-607 of the Act or other applicable law.

ARTICLE V
ALLOCATIONS

5.1 Profits and Losses

Following the application of Section 5.2 and subject to Section 8.3 , Profits and Losses for each Taxable Year shall be allocated among the Partners, pro rata based on the number of Class A Units and Vested Units held, assuming in the case of Earned Units and Vested Units, the conversion of such Units into Class A Units based on the Conversion Factor.

5.2 Regulatory and Special Allocations

(a) Gross Income Allocations .

(i) In the event any Partner has an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit at the end of any Taxable Year, such Partner shall be specially allocated items of Partnership income and gain in the amount of such deficit balance as quickly as possible; provided , that, an allocation pursuant to this Section 5.2(a) shall be made only if and to the extent that such Partner would have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit balance after all other allocations provided for in this Article V have been made.

(ii) Holders of Class B Units that are Earned Units, but not Vested Units shall be specially allocated items of Partnership income and gain in the amount equal to any distributions made with respect to such Earned Units.

(b) Qualified Income Offset . In the event any Partner unexpectedly receives any adjustments, allocations or distributions described in Regulation Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(5) or 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(6), items of Partnership income and gain shall be specially allocated to such Partner in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate, to the extent required by the Regulations, the Adjusted Capital Account Deficit of such Partner as quickly as possible, provided , that, an allocation pursuant to this Section 5.2(b) shall be made only if and to the extent that such Partner would have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit after all other allocations provided for in this Article V have been made.

(c) Limitations on Allocations of Losses . Notwithstanding any provision hereof to the contrary, no Losses or other items of loss or expense shall be allocated to any Partner to the extent that such allocation would cause or increase an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit with respect to such Partner. All Losses and other items of loss and expense in excess of the limitation set forth in this Section 5.2(c) shall be allocated to the other Partners not having an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit pro rata based on the number of Class A Units, Earned Units and/or Vested Units held to the extent not otherwise limited by the preceding sentence.

(d) Revaluation Income and Gain . In the event the Gross Asset Value of any Partnership asset is adjusted pursuant to subparagraphs (b) or (c) of the definition of Gross Asset Value during any Tax Year beginning on or after January 1, 2016, any resulting items of income and gain shall be specially allocated:

(i) first, to holders of Converted Class A Units in accordance with their relative Converted Class A Target Deficit Amounts until the Capital Account associated with such Converted Class A Units equals the Class A Per Unit Capital Account; and

(ii) second, to the holders of Vested Units in accordance with their relative Class B Target Deficit Amounts until the Class B Per Unit Capital Account attributable to each Vested Unit equals the Class B Per Unit Target Capital.

(e) Allocations in Respect of Future Issuances of Class A Units to PAGP . Following the issuance of additional Class A Units to PAGP in exchange for a contribution of cash or property to the Partnership and a subsequent contribution of such cash or property to the MLP in exchange for MLP Common Units, the General Partner may allocate items of income, gain, loss or deduction in a manner that it reasonably determines takes into account the difference, if any, between (i) the amount of such cash, or the fair market value of such property, and (ii) the product of the number of MLP Common Units issued by the MLP in exchange for such contribution and the fair market value of a MLP Common Unit at the time of the contribution based on the current trading price of MLP Common Units on any National Securities Exchange on which Units are then listed (or such other MLP Common Unit value reasonably determined by the General Partner).

(f) Curative Allocations . The allocations set forth in Sections 5.2(a)(i) , (b) and (c) hereof (the “ Regulatory Allocations ”) are intended to comply with certain requirements of the Regulations. It is the intent of the Partners that, to the extent possible, all Regulatory Allocations shall be offset either with other Regulatory Allocations or with special allocations of other items of Partnership income, gain, loss or deduction pursuant to this Section 5.2(f) . Therefore, notwithstanding any other provision of this Article V (other than the Regulatory Allocations), the General Partner shall make such offsetting special allocations of income, gain, loss or deduction in whatever manner it determines appropriate so that, after such offsetting allocations are made, each Partner’s Capital Account balance is, to the extent possible, equal to the Capital Account balance such Partner would have had if the Regulatory Allocations were not part of this Agreement and all such items were allocated pursuant to Sections 5.1 , 5.2(a)(ii) and 5.2(d) without regard to the Regulatory Allocations.

5.3 Tax Allocations: Code Section 704(c)

(a) Except as otherwise provided herein, for federal income tax purposes, (i) each item of income, gain, loss and deduction shall be allocated among the Partners in the same manner as its correlative item of “book” income, gain, loss or deduction is allocated pursuant to Sections 5.1 and 5.2 , and (ii) each tax credit shall be allocated to the Partners in the same manner as the receipt or expenditure giving rise to such credit is allocated pursuant to Section 5.1 or 5.2 .

(b) In accordance with Code Section 704(c) and the Regulations thereunder, income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to any Property contributed to the capital of the Partnership shall, solely for tax purposes, be allocated among the Partners so as to take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such Property to the Partnership for federal income tax purposes and its initial Gross Asset Value (computed in accordance with the definition herein of “ Gross Asset Value ”).

(c) In the event the Gross Asset Value of any Partnership asset is adjusted pursuant to subparagraph (b) of the definition herein of “Gross Asset Value”, subsequent allocations of income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to such asset shall take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such asset for federal income tax purposes and its Gross Asset Value in the same manner as under Code Section 704(c) and the Regulations thereunder.

(d) Any elections or other decisions relating to such allocations shall be made by the General Partner in any manner that reasonably reflects the purpose and intention of this Agreement; provided , that the Partnership, in the discretion of the General Partner, may make, or not make, “curative” or “remedial” allocations (within the meaning of the Regulations under Code Section 704(c)) including, but not limited to, “curative” allocations which offset the effect of the “ceiling rule” for a prior Taxable Year (within the meaning of Regulation Section 1.704-3(c)(3)(ii)) and “curative” allocations from disposition of contributed property (within the meaning of Regulation Section 1.704-3(c)(3)(iii)(B)). Allocations pursuant to this Section 5.3 are solely for purposes of federal, state, and local taxes and shall not affect, or in any way be taken into account in computing, any Partner’s Capital Account or share of Profits, Losses, other items, or distributions pursuant to any provision of this Agreement.

5.4 Change in Partnership Interest

In the event that the Partners’ interests in the Partnership change during a Taxable Year, allocations shall be made taking into account the Partners’ varying interests for such Taxable Year, determined on a daily, monthly or other basis as determined by the General Partner in a manner consistent with the allocation conventions used by the MLP. Accordingly, income, gain loss and deduction allocated to the Partnership by the MLP with respect to each month shall be allocated to the Partners based on their interests in the Partnership on the first day of such month. The General Partner may revise, alter or otherwise modify such methods of allocation as it determines necessary, to the extent permitted or required by Section 706 of the Code and the regulations or rulings promulgated thereunder.

5.5 Withholding

Each Partner hereby authorizes the Partnership to withhold from income or distributions allocable to such Partner and to pay over any taxes payable by the Partnership or any of its Affiliates as a result of such Partner’s participation in the Partnership; if and to the extent that the Partnership shall be required to withhold any such taxes, such Partner shall be deemed for all purposes of this Agreement to have received a distribution from the Partnership as of the time such withholding is required to be paid, which distribution shall be deemed to be a distribution to such Partner to the extent that the Partner is then entitled to receive a distribution. To the extent that the aggregate of such distributions in respect of a Partner for any period exceeds the distributions to which such Partner is entitled for such period, the amount of such excess shall be considered a demand loan from the Partnership to such Partner, with interest at the rate of interest per annum that Citibank, N.A., or any successor entity thereto, announces from time to time as its prime lending rate, which interest shall be treated as an item of Partnership income, until discharged by such Partner by repayment, which may be made in the sole discretion of the General Partner out of distributions to which such Partner would otherwise be subsequently entitled. The withholdings referred to in this Section 5.5 shall be made at the maximum

applicable statutory rate under applicable tax law unless the General Partner shall have received an opinion of counsel or other evidence, satisfactory to the General Partner, to the effect that a lower rate is applicable, or that no withholding is applicable.

ARTICLE VI
MANAGEMENT

6.1 Duties and Powers of the General Partner

(a) The business and affairs of the Partnership shall be managed by the General Partner. Except for situations in which the approval of the Limited Partners is expressly required by this Agreement or by nonwaivable provisions of applicable law, the General Partner shall have full and complete authority, power and discretion to manage and control the business, affairs and property of the Partnership, to make all decisions regarding those matters and to perform any and all other acts or activities customary or incident to the management of the Partnership’s business. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the General Partner has full power and authority to execute, deliver and perform such contracts, agreements and other undertakings on behalf of the Partnership, without the consent or approval of any other Partner, and to engage in all activities and transactions, as it may deem necessary or advisable for, or as may be incidental to, the conduct of the business and affairs of the Partnership.

(b) Each Limited Partner agrees to cooperate with the General Partner and to execute and deliver such documents, agreements and instruments, and do all such further acts, as deemed necessary or advisable by the General Partner to give effect to the exercise of the General Partner’s powers under this Section 6.1 . Without limiting the foregoing, each Limited Partner hereby irrevocably appoints the General Partner as its proxy and attorney-in-fact (with full power of substitution and resubstitution) to vote or act by written consent with respect to its Partnership Interest as a Limited Partner as determined by the General Partner on all matters requiring the vote, approval or consent of the Limited Partners. The Partners acknowledge that such proxy is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable.

(c) The General Partner is the “tax matters partner” (as defined in Section 6231(a)(7) of the Code as in effect prior to the enactment of the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015) and the “partnership representative” (as defined in Section 6223 of the Code following the enactment of the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015) and analogous provisions of state law. In its capacity as “partnership representative,” the General Partner shall exercise, in its sole discretion, any and all authority of the “partnership representative” under the Code, including, without limitation, (i) binding the Partnership and its Partners with respect to tax matters and (ii) determining whether to make any available election under Section 6226 of the Code. The General Partner may amend the provisions of this Agreement as determined appropriate in order to minimize the potential U.S. federal and state or local income tax consequences to current and former Limited Partners, and for the proper administration of the Partnership, upon any amendment to the provisions of Subchapter C of Chapter 63 of Subtitle A of the Code, as enacted by the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015, or the promulgation of regulations or publication of other administrative guidance thereunder. The General Partner has the exclusive authority and discretion to make any elections required or permitted to be made by the Partnership under any provisions of the Code or any other applicable laws.

6.2 Limitation of Liability

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, no Indemnitee shall be liable for monetary damages to the Partnership or the Limited Partners or any other Persons who have acquired interests in Partnership Interests for losses sustained or liabilities incurred as a result of any act or omission of an Indemnitee in connection with the conduct of the business or affairs of the Partnership 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. Except as required by the Act, the Partnership’s debts, obligations, and liabilities, whether arising in contract, tort or otherwise, shall be solely the debts, obligations and liabilities of the Partnership, and no Indemnitee shall be personally responsible for any such debt, obligation or liability of the Partnership solely by reason of being an Indemnitee. No Partner shall be responsible for any debts, obligations or liabilities, whether arising in contract, tort or otherwise, of any other Partner. The provisions of this Agreement, to the extent that they restrict, eliminate or otherwise modify the duties and liabilities, including fiduciary duties, of any Indemnitee otherwise existing at law or in equity, are agreed by the Partners to replace such duties and liabilities of such Indemnitee. To the fullest extent permitted by law, in connection with any action or inaction of, or determination made by, any Indemnitee with respect to any matter relating to the Partnership, it shall be presumed that the Indemnitee acted in a manner that satisfied the contractual standards set forth in this Agreement, and in any proceeding brought by any Partner or by or on behalf of such Partner or any other Partner or the Partnership challenging any such action or inaction of, or determination made by, any Indemnitee, the Person bringing or prosecuting such proceeding shall have the burden of overcoming such presumption.

(c) No amendment, modification or repeal of this Section 6.2 or any provision hereof shall in any manner terminate, reduce or impair the waiver or limitation on liability with respect to any past, present or future Indemnitee under and in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.2 as in effect immediately prior to such amendment, modification or repeal with respect to claims arising from or relating to matters occurring, in whole or-in part, prior to such amendment, modification or repeal, regardless of when such claims may arise or be asserted.

6.3 Indemnification

administrative or investigative, in which an Indemnitee may be involved, or threatened to be involved, as a party or otherwise, by reason of his, her or its status as an Indemnitee, if such Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner he or she subjectively believed to be in, or not opposed to, the interests of the Partnership and with respect to any criminal proceeding, had no reason to believe his, her or its conduct was unlawful.

(b) Expenses incurred by an Indemnitee in defending any claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding subject to Section 6.3(a) 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 amounts if it is ultimately determined that the Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified as authorized in this Section 6.3 .

(c) The indemnification provided by this Section 6.3 shall be in addition to any other rights to which an Indemnitee may be entitled pursuant to any approval of the Board, as a matter of law or equity, or otherwise, and shall continue as to an Indemnitee who has ceased to hold the status with respect to which it was an Indemnitee and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, successors, assigns, and administrators of such Indemnitee. The Partnership shall not be required to indemnify any Partner in connection with any losses, claims, demands, actions, disputes, suits or proceedings, of any Partner against any other Partner.

(d) The Partnership may purchase and maintain directors and officers insurance or similar coverage for the directors or officers of the General Partner in such amounts and with such deductibles or self-insured retentions as determined by the Board.

(e) Any indemnification hereunder shall be satisfied only out of the assets of the Partnership, and the Partners shall not be subject to personal liability by reason of the indemnification provisions under this Section 6.3 .

(f) An Indemnitee shall not be denied indemnification in whole or in part under this Section 6.3 because the Indemnitee had an interest in the transaction with respect to which the indemnification applies if the transaction was otherwise permitted by the terms of this Agreement and all material facts relating to such Indemnitee’s interest were adequately disclosed to the Board at the time the transaction was consummated.

(g) Subject to Section 6.3(c) , the provisions of this Section 6.3 are for the benefit of the Indemnitees and the heirs, successors, assigns and administrators of the Indemnitees and shall not be deemed to create any rights for the benefit of any other Persons.

(h) No amendment, modification or repeal of this Section 6.3 or any provision hereof shall in any manner terminate, reduce or impair the right of any past, present or future Indemnitee to be indemnified by the Partnership or any Affiliate of the Partnership, nor the obligations of the Partnership or such Affiliate to indemnify any such Indemnitee under and in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.3 as in effect immediately prior to such amendment, modification or repeal with respect to claims arising from or relating to matters occurring, in whole or in part, prior to such amendment, modification or repeal, regardless of when such claims may arise or be asserted.

6.4 Rights of Limited Partners

The Limited Partners will not be personally liable for any obligations of the Partnership nor will they have any obligation to make contributions to the Partnership in excess of their respective Capital Contributions required under Section 3.1 or have any liability for the repayment or discharge of the debts and obligations of the Partnership except to the extent provided herein or as required by law. The Limited Partners in their capacities as such shall take no part in the management, control or operation of the Partnership’s business and shall have no power to bind the Partnership and no right or authority to act for the Partnership or to vote on matters other than the matters set forth in this Agreement or as required by applicable law.

6.5 Class B Partners

(ii) pursuant to the terms of Section 7.8 ;

(iii) pursuant to the terms of Section 7.9 ;

(iv) pursuant to the terms of Section 7.10 ; or

(v) pursuant to the terms of Section 7.11 ;

provided , however , any such Transfer under (i)-(v) above shall comply with the terms of Section 7.1(b) . Any purported Transfer of all or any portion of a Partnership Interest or Partnership Group Interest in violation of the terms of this Agreement shall be null and void and of no force and effect. Except upon a Transfer of all of a Limited Partner’s Partnership Interest in accordance with this Section 7.1 , no Limited Partner shall have the right to withdraw as a Partner of the Partnership.

(b) As a condition to a Transfer by a Class A Partner (other than PAGP or the General Partner) of any Class A Units to a transferee as permitted under Section 7.1(a)(i) or (ii) (a “ Partnership Transfer ”), such Class A Partner shall simultaneously Transfer to such transferee the same number of PAGP Class B Shares and the same number of Holdings GP Units (each group of one Class A Unit, one PAGP Class B Share and one Holdings GP Unit collectively being referred to herein as a “ Partnership Group Interest ”). For the avoidance of doubt, it is intended that the Class A Units (other than those held by PAGP or the General

Partner) may only be Transferred together with the same number of PAGP Class B Shares and the same number of Holdings GP Units (subject to the last sentence of this Section 7.1(b) ), and that if for any reason the Transfer of such PAGP Class B Shares and Holdings GP Units does not occur simultaneously with the Partnership Transfer, then the Partnership Transfer shall be null and void and of no force and effect. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, (x) Converted Class A Units may be Transferred without a simultaneous Transfer of Holdings GP Units and (y) Class A Units shall be Transferred to the Partnership pursuant to Section 7.11 only with the simultaneous cancellation of the corresponding PAGP Class B Shares and Transfer by such Member to PAGP of the corresponding Holdings GP Units.

7.2 Permitted Transferees

(a) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 7.8 , each Limited Partner shall, subject to Section 7.1(b) and Section 7.1(c) , have the right to Transfer (but not to substitute the transferee as a substitute Partner in such Partner’s place, except in accordance with Section 7.3 ), by a written instrument, all or any part of a Limited Partner’s Partnership Group Interest or Class B Units to a Permitted Transferee. Notwithstanding the previous sentence, if the Permitted Transferee is such because it was an Affiliate of the transferring Limited Partner at the time of such Transfer or the Transfer was a Permitted Transfer under clause (a) of the definition herein of “Permitted Transfer” and, at any time after such Transfer, such Permitted Transferee ceases to be an Affiliate of such Limited Partner or such Transfer or such Permitted Transferee ceases to qualify under such clause (a) (a “ Non-Qualifying Transferee ”), such Transfer shall be deemed to not be a Permitted Transfer and shall be subject to Section 7.8 . Pursuant to Section 7.8 , such transferring Limited Partner or such transferring Limited Partner’s legal representative shall deliver the First Refusal Notice promptly after the time when such transferee ceases to be an Affiliate of such transferring Limited Partner or such Transfer or such Permitted Transferee ceases to qualify under clause (a) of the definition herein of “Permitted Transfer”, and such transferring Limited Partner shall otherwise comply with the terms of Section 7.8 with respect to such Transfer; provided , that the purchase price for such Transfer for purposes of Section 7.8 shall be the Agreed Value of the Partnership Group Interests subject to the Transfer as of the close of business on the date the transferee ceased to be an Affiliate of such transferring Limited Partner or such Transfer or such Permitted Transferee ceases to qualify under clause (a) of the definition herein of “Permitted Transfer” (such date, the “ Non-Qualifying Date” ). In the event the Non-Qualifying Date is not a Business Day, the Non-Qualifying Date shall be deemed to have occurred on the first Business Day following such original Non-Qualifying Date. If such transferring Limited Partner fails to comply with all the terms of Section 7.8 , such Transfer shall be null and void and of no force and effect. No Non-Qualifying Transferee shall be entitled to receive any distributions from the Partnership with respect to any period on or after the Non-Qualifying Date and any distributions made in respect of the Partnership Interests with respect to any period on or after the Non-Qualifying Date and held by such Non-Qualifying Transferee shall be paid to the Limited Partner who attempted to transfer such Partnership Group Interests or otherwise to the rightful owner thereof as reasonably determined by the General Partner.

(b) Unless and until admitted as a substitute Limited Partner pursuant to Section 7.3 , a transferee of a Limited Partner’s Partnership Group Interests or Class B Units, in whole or in part, shall be an assignee with respect to the Transferred Partnership Interest comprising the Transferred part of such Partnership Group Interests or Class B Units and shall not be entitled to become, or to exercise the rights of, a Limited Partner, including the right to vote, the right to require any information or accounting of the Partnership’s business, or the right to inspect the Partnership’s books and records. Such transferee shall only be entitled to receive, to the extent of the Partnership Interests Transferred to such transferee, the share of distributions and profits to which the transferor would otherwise be entitled with respect to the Transferred Partnership Interest. Subject to the provisions of Section 6.1(b) , the transferor shall have the right to vote such Transferred Partnership Interest until the transferee is admitted to the Partnership as a substitute Limited Partner with respect to the Transferred Partnership Interest.

7.3 Substitute Limited Partners

No transferee of all or part of a Limited Partner’s Partnership Interest shall become a substitute Limited Partner in place of the transferor unless and until:

(a) such Transfer is in compliance with the terms of Section 7.1 ;

(b) the transferee has executed an instrument in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the General Partner accepting and adopting, and agreeing to be bound by, the terms and provisions of the Certificate and this Agreement; and

(c) the transferee has caused to be paid all reasonable expenses of the Partnership in connection with the admission of the transferee as a substitute Limited Partner.

Upon satisfaction of all the foregoing conditions with respect to a particular transferee, the General Partner shall cause the books and records of the Partnership to reflect the admission of the transferee as a substitute Limited Partner to the extent of the Transferred Partnership Interest held by such transferee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the admission of the General Partner as a Limited Partner in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Simplification Agreement is hereby confirmed.

7.4 Effect of Admission as a Substitute Limited Partner

A transferee who has become a substitute Limited Partner has, to the extent of the Transferred Partnership Interest, all the rights, powers and benefits of, and is subject to the obligations, restrictions and liabilities of a Partner under, the Certificate, this Agreement and the Act. Upon admission of a transferee as a substitute Limited Partner, the transferor of the Partnership Interest so held by the substitute Limited Partner shall cease to be a Partner of the Partnership to the extent of such Transferred Partnership Interest. In connection with any Exchange or exercise of the Call Right with respect to Class A Units pursuant to Section 7.9 , PAGP shall upon completion of such transaction automatically be admitted as a substitute Limited Partner with respect to the Class A Units that are the subject of such transaction.

7.5 Consent

Each Partner hereby agrees that upon satisfaction of the terms and conditions of this Article VII with respect to any proposed Transfer, the transferee may be admitted as a Partner without any further action by a Partner hereunder.

7.6 No Dissolution

If a Limited Partner Transfers all of its Partnership Interest pursuant to this Article VII and the transferee of such Partnership Interest is admitted as a Limited Partner pursuant to Section 7.3 , such Person shall be admitted to the Partnership as a Partner effective on the effective date of the Transfer and the Partnership shall not dissolve pursuant to Section 8.1 .

7.7 Additional Limited Partners

Subject to Section 3.2 , any Person acceptable to the General Partner may become an additional Limited Partner of the Partnership for such consideration as the General Partner shall determine, provided that such additional Limited Partner complies with all the requirements of a transferee under Section 7.3(b) and (c) .

7.8 Right of First Refusal

The Class A Partners shall have the following right of first refusal:

(a) If at any time any of the Class A Partners (a “ Selling Partner ”) has received and wishes to accept a bona fide offer (the “ Offer ”) for cash from a third party (the “ Offeror ”) for all or part of such Selling Partner’s Partnership Group Interests, such Selling Partner shall give Notice thereof (the “ First Refusal Notice ”) to each of the other Partners, other than any Non-Purchasing Partners and any Class B Partners, and the Partnership. The First Refusal Notice shall state the number of Partnership Group Interests that the Selling Partner wishes to sell (the “ Optioned Interest ”), the price and all other material terms of the Offer, the name of the Offeror, and certification from the Selling Partner affirming that the Offer is bona fide and that the description thereof is true and correct, and that the Offeror has stated that it will purchase the Optioned Interest if the rights of first refusal herein described are not exercised.

Each Class A Partner (and, in the case of PAGP, PAGP or its designee) other than the Selling Partner and any Non-Purchasing Partner (each, a “ Non-Selling Partner ”) shall have the right exercisable by Notice (an “ Acceptance Notice ”) given to the Selling Partner and the Partnership within 20 days after receipt of the First Refusal Notice, to agree that it will purchase up to 100% of the Optioned Interest on the terms set forth in the First Refusal Notice; provided , however , if the Non-Selling Partners in the aggregate desire to purchase more than 100% of the Optioned Interest, each such Non-Selling Partner’s right to purchase the Optioned Interest shall be reduced (pro rata based on the percentage of the Optioned Interest for which such Non-Selling Partner has exercised its right to purchase hereunder compared to all other Non-Selling Partners, but not below such Non-Selling Partner’s pro rata share (based on the number of Class A Units held by such Non-Selling Partner and the aggregate number of Class A Units held by all Non-Selling Partners who have exercised their right to purchase) so that such Non-Selling Partners purchase no more than 100% of the Optioned Interest. In the event that (i) PAGP exercises its right to

designate its right of first refusal to a designee and (ii) the price indicated in the Offer is less than the Agreed Value (determined pursuant to clause (i) of such definition) of the Partnership Group Interest as of the date of the Offer, then in connection with such designee’s delivery of any Acceptance Notice hereunder, PAGP’s designee must agree with respect to the portion of the Partnership Group Interest that it is entitled to purchase pursuant to this Section 7.8 (excluding any such portion related to any oversubscription by such designee pursuant to this Section 7.8 ), to pay such Agreed Value (determined pursuant to clause (i) of such definition) of such Partnership Group Interest as of the date of the Offer. For the avoidance of doubt, any other Class A Partner (including PAGP) exercising its right of first refusal pursuant to this Section 7.8 shall not be required to pay a higher price than the price included in the Offer. If a Non-Selling Partner does not submit an Acceptance Notice within the 20-day period set forth in this Section 7.8(b) , such Non-Selling Partner shall be deemed to have rejected the offer to purchase any portion of the Optioned Interest.

(b) If the Non-Selling Partners do not in the aggregate exercise the right to purchase all of the Optioned Interest by the expiration of the 20-day period set forth in Section 7.8(b) , then any Acceptance Notice shall be void and of no effect, and the Selling Partner shall be entitled to complete the proposed sale at any time in the 30-day period commencing on the date of the First Refusal Notice, but only upon the terms set forth in the First Refusal Notice. If no such sale is completed in such 30-day period, the provisions hereof shall apply again to any proposed sale of the Optioned Interest.

(c) If any Non-Selling Partner exercises the right to purchase the Optioned Interest as provided herein and such Non-Selling Partner(s) have elected to purchase all of the Optioned Interest, the purchase of such Optioned Interest shall be completed within the 30-day period commencing on the date of delivery of the First Refusal Notice on the terms set forth in the First Refusal Notice. If such Non-Selling Partner does not consummate the Purchase of such Optioned Interest, (x) the Selling Partner shall be entitled to all expenses of collection and (y) such Non-Selling Partner shall be deemed a “ Non-Purchasing Partner ” for the duration of this Agreement.

(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no Class B Partner in its capacity as such shall have any right or obligation to Transfer any Class B Units or any right to purchase any Class A Units pursuant to this Section 7.8 .

(e) For the avoidance of doubt, the right of first refusal shall not apply to a Transfer in connection with an Exchange, Redemption or exercise of the Call Right pursuant to Section 7.9 or Section 7.11 .

7.9 Exchange of Class A Units

(a) (i) Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 7.9(d) and subject to PAGP’s rights described in Section 7.9(g) , each of the Class A Partners other than PAGP or the General Partner shall be entitled to exchange with the Partnership, at any time and from time to time, any or all of such Partner’s Class A Units (together with the same number of PAGP Class B Shares and, unless the last sentence of this Section 7.9(a) applies, the same number of Holdings GP Units) for an equivalent number of PAGP Class A Shares (an “ Exchange ”) or, at the

Partnership’s election made in accordance with Section 7.9(a)(ii) , cash equal to the Cash Election Amount calculated with respect to such Exchange. To the extent the consideration for an Exchange is provided by PAGP, such Exchange shall be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a sale of the Exchanging Partner’s Class A Units (together with the same number of PAGP Class B Shares and, unless the last sentence of this Section 7.9(a) applies, the same number of Holdings GP Units) to PAGP in exchange for PAGP Class A Shares or cash, as applicable. For the avoidance of doubt, any Partner owning Converted Class A Units pursuant to Section 7.10 shall be entitled to make an Exchange with respect to such Converted Class A Units without surrendering Holdings GP Units to the Partnership.

(ii) Upon receipt of an Exchange Notice, the Partnership shall be entitled to elect (a “ Cash Election ”) to settle the Exchange by the delivery to the Exchanging Partner, in lieu of the applicable number of PAGP Class A Shares that would be received in such Exchange, an amount of cash equal to the Cash Election Amount for such Exchange. In order to make a Cash Election with respect to an Exchange, the Partnership must provide written notice of such election to the Exchanging Partner prior to 1:00 pm, Houston time, on the Business Day after the date on which the Exchange Notice shall have been received by the Partnership. If the Partnership fails to provide such written notice prior to such time, it shall not be entitled to make a Cash Election with respect to such Exchange.

(b) In order to exercise the exchange right under Section 7.9(a) , the exchanging Class A Partner (the “ Exchanging Partner ”) shall provide written notice (the “ Exchange Notice ”) to the Partnership and PAGP, stating that the Exchanging Partner elects to exchange with the Partnership a stated (and equal) number of Class A Units, PAGP Class B Shares and, if applicable, Holdings GP Units represented, if applicable, by a certificate or certificates, to the extent specified in such notice, and if the PAGP Class A Shares to be received are to be issued other than in the name of the Exchanging Partner, specifying the name(s) of the Person(s) in whose name or on whose order the PAGP Class A Shares are to be issued, and shall present and surrender the certificate or certificates representing such Class A Units, PAGP Class B Shares and, if applicable, Holdings GP Units (in each case, if certificated) during normal business hours at the principal executive offices of the Partnership, or if any agent for the registration or transfer of PAGP Class A Shares is then duly appointed and acting (the “ Transfer Agent ”), at the office of the Transfer Agent with respect to such PAGP Class A Shares.

(c) If required by PAGP, any certificate for Class A Units, PAGP Class B Shares and the Holdings GP Units (in each case, if certificated) surrendered for exchange with the Partnership shall be accompanied by instruments of transfer, in form reasonably satisfactory to PAGP and the Transfer Agent, duly executed by the Exchanging Partner or the Exchanging Partner’s duly authorized representative. If the Partnership has not made a valid Cash Election, then as promptly as practicable after the receipt of the Exchange Notice and the surrender to the Partnership of the certificate or certificates, if any, representing such Class A Units, PAGP Class B Shares and Holdings GP Units (but in any event by the Exchange Date, as defined below), PAGP shall issue and contribute to the Partnership, and the Partnership shall deliver to the Exchanging Partner, or on the Exchanging Partner’s written order, a certificate or certificates, if applicable, for the number of PAGP Class A Shares issuable upon the Exchange, and the Partnership shall deliver such Class A Units, PAGP Class B Shares and Holdings GP Units to PAGP in exchange for no additional consideration. If the Partnership has made a valid Cash

Election, then as promptly as practicable after the receipt of the Exchange Notice (but in no event more than 90 days after receipt of the Exchange Notice), upon surrender to the Partnership of the certificate or certificates, if any, representing such Class A Units, PAGP Class B Shares and Holdings GP Units, the Partnership shall deliver to the Exchanging Partner as directed by the Exchanging Partner by wire transfer of immediately available funds the Cash Election Amount payable upon the Exchange, and the Partnership shall deliver such Class A Units, PAGP Class B Shares and Holdings GP Units to PAGP. Each Exchange shall be deemed to have been effected on (i) (x) the Business Day after the date on which the Exchange Notice shall have been received by the Partnership, PAGP or the Transfer Agent, as applicable (subject to receipt by the Partnership, PAGP or the Transfer Agent, as applicable, within three Business Days thereafter of any required instruments of transfer as aforesaid) if the Partnership has not made a valid Cash Election with respect to such Exchange or (y) if the Partnership has made a valid Cash Election with respect to such Exchange, the first Business Day on which the Partnership has available funds to pay the Cash Election Amount (but in no event more than 90 days after receipt of the Exchange Notice), or (ii) such later date specified in or pursuant to the Exchange Notice (such date identified in clause (i) or (ii), as applicable, the “ Exchange Date ”). If the Partnership has not made a valid Cash Election, and the Person or Persons in whose name or names any certificate or certificates for PAGP Class A Shares (which certificates shall bear any legends as may be required in accordance with applicable Law) shall be issuable upon such Exchange as aforesaid shall be deemed to have become, on the Exchange Date, the holder or holders of record of the shares represented thereby. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, unless the Partnership has made a valid Cash Election, any Exchanging Partner may withdraw or amend an Exchange request, in whole or in part, prior to the effectiveness of the applicable Exchange, at any time prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Business Day immediately preceding the Exchange Date (or any such later time as may be required by applicable law) by delivery of a written notice of withdrawal to the Partnership, PAGP or the Transfer Agent, specifying (1) the certificate numbers of the withdrawn Class A Units, PAGP Class B Shares and Holdings GP Units, (2) if any, the number of Class A Units, PAGP Class B Shares and Holdings GP Units as to which the Exchange Notice remains in effect and (3) if the Exchanging Partner so determines, a new Exchange Date or any other new or revised information permitted in an Exchange Notice. An Exchange Notice may specify that the Exchange is to be contingent (including as to timing) upon the consummation of a purchase by another Person (whether in a tender or exchange offer, an underwritten offering or otherwise) of the PAGP Class A Shares into which the Class A Units, PAGP Class B Shares and Holdings GP Units are exchangeable, or contingent (including as to timing) upon the closing of an announced merger, consolidation or other transaction or event in which the PAGP Class A Shares would be exchanged or converted or become exchangeable for or convertible into cash or other securities or property, provided that the foregoing shall not apply to any Exchange with respect to which the Partnership has made a valid Cash Election.

(d) If (i) there is any reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization or other similar transaction pursuant to which the PAGP Class A Shares are converted or changed into another security, securities or other property, or (ii) PAGP shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of the PAGP Class A Shares evidences of its indebtedness or assets, including securities (including PAGP Class A Shares and any rights, options or warrants to all holders of the PAGP Class A Shares to subscribe for or to purchase or to otherwise acquire PAGP Class A Shares, or other securities or rights convertible into, exchangeable for or exercisable for PAGP

Class A Shares) but excluding any cash dividend or distribution as well as any such distribution of indebtedness or assets received by PAGP from AAP in respect of the Class A Units, then upon any subsequent Exchange, in addition to the PAGP Class A Shares or the Cash Election Amount, as applicable, each Class A Partner shall be entitled to receive the amount of such security, securities or other property that such Class A Partner would have received if such Exchange had occurred immediately prior to the effective date of such reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization, other similar transaction dividend or other distribution, taking into account any adjustment as a result of any subdivision (by any split, distribution or dividend, reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization or otherwise) or combination (by reverse split, reclassification, recapitalization or otherwise) of such security, securities or other property that occurs after the effective time of such reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization or other similar transaction. For the avoidance of doubt, if there is any reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization or other similar transaction in which the PAGP Class A Shares are converted or changed into another security, securities or other property, or any dividend or distribution (other than an excluded dividend or distribution, as described above), this Section 7.9 shall continue to be applicable, mutatis mutandis, with respect to such security or other property. This Agreement shall apply to the Class A Units held by the Class A Partners and their Permitted Transferees as of the date hereof, as well as any Class A Units hereafter acquired by a Class A Partner and his or her or its Permitted Transferees.

(e) PAGP shall at all times keep available, solely for the purpose of issuance upon an Exchange, such number of PAGP Class A Shares that shall be issuable upon the Exchange of all such outstanding Class A Units (which, for purposes of this Section 7.9(e) , shall include the Class A Units into which the outstanding Class B Units may be exchanged in accordance with Section 7.10 hereof). PAGP covenants that all PAGP Class A Shares that shall be issued upon an Exchange shall, upon issuance thereof, be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable (except as such non-assessability may be affected by Sections 17-303, 17-607 and 17-804 of the Act). In addition, for so long as the PAGP Class A Shares are listed on a National Securities Exchange, PAGP shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause all PAGP Class A Shares issued upon an Exchange to be listed on such National Securities Exchange at the time of such issuance.

(f) The issuance of PAGP Class A Shares upon an Exchange shall be made without charge to the Exchanging Partner for any stamp or other similar tax in respect of such issuance; provided , however , that if any such shares are to be issued in a name other than that of the Exchanging Partner, then the Person or Persons in whose name the shares are to be issued shall pay to PAGP the amount of any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in such issuance or shall establish to the satisfaction of PAGP that such tax has been paid or is not payable.

(g) (i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 7.9 , but subject to Section 7.9(h) , an Exchanging Partner shall be deemed to have offered to sell its Class A Units, PAGP Class B Shares and, if applicable, Holdings GP Units as described in the Exchange Notice to PAGP, and PAGP may, in its sole discretion, by means of delivery of Call Election Notices and/or Revocation Notices in accordance with, and subject to the terms of, this Section 7.9(g) , elect to purchase directly and acquire such Class A Units, PAGP Class B Shares and, if applicable, Holdings GP Units on the Exchange Date by paying to the Exchanging Partner (or, on the Exchanging Partner’s written order, its designee) that number of PAGP Class A Shares

the Exchanging Partner (or its designee) would otherwise receive pursuant to Section 7.9(a) (the “ Call Right ”), whereupon PAGP shall acquire the Class A Units, PAGP Class B Shares and, if applicable, Holdings GP Units offered for exchange by the Exchanging Partner and shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as the owner of such Class A Units, PAGP Class B Shares and, if applicable, Holdings GP Units. In the event PAGP shall exercise the Call Right, each of the Exchanging Partner, the Partnership and PAGP, as the case may be, shall treat the transaction between Holdings and the Exchanging Partner for federal income tax purposes as a sale of the Exchanging Partner’s Class A Units, PAGP Class B Shares and Holdings GP Units to PAGP.

(ii) PAGP may at any time in its sole discretion deliver written notice (a “ Call Election Notice ”) to each other Class A Partner setting forth its election to exercise its Call Right as contemplated by Section 7.9(g) with respect to future Exchanges (without needing to provide further notice of its intention to exercise its Call Right). Subject to the remainder of this Section 7.9(g)(ii) , a Call Election Notice will be effective until such time as PAGP amends such Call Election Notice with a superseding Call Election Notice or revokes such Call Election Notice by delivery of a written notice of revocation delivered to each other Class A Partner or, with respect to a particular Exchange, the Partnership exercises its Cash Election (a “ Revocation Notice ”). A Call Election Notice may be amended or revoked by PAGP at any time; provided that any Exchange Notice delivered by a Class A Partner will not, without such Class A Partner’s written consent, be affected by the subsequent delivery of a Revocation Notice or by an Exchange Notice that is not effective until after the Exchange Date. Following delivery of a Revocation Notice, PAGP may deliver a new Call Election Notice pursuant to this Section 7.9(g) . Any amendment of a Call Election Notice will not be effective until the Business Day after its delivery to each Class A Partner (other than PAGP or the General Partner). Each Call Election Notice shall specify the date from which it shall be effective (which shall be no earlier than the Business Day after delivery).

(h) In the event that a tender offer, share exchange offer, issuer bid, take-over bid, recapitalization or similar transaction with respect to PAGP Class A Shares (a “ Pubco Offer ”) is proposed by PAGP or is proposed to PAGP or its partners and approved by the board of directors of Holdings GP or is otherwise effected or to be effected with the consent or approval of the board of directors of Holdings GP, the Class A Partners (other than PAGP or the General Partner) shall be permitted to participate in such Pubco Offer by delivery of a contingent Exchange Notice in accordance with the last sentence of Section 7.9(c) . In the case of a Pubco Offer proposed by PAGP, PAGP will use its reasonable best efforts expeditiously and in good faith to take all such actions and do all such things as are necessary or desirable to enable and permit the Class A Partners to participate in such Pubco Offer to the same extent or on an economically equivalent basis as the holders of PAGP Class A Shares without discrimination; provided that, without limiting the generality of this sentence, PAGP will use its reasonable best efforts expeditiously and in good faith to ensure that such Class A Partners may participate in each such Pubco Offer without being required to exchange Class A Units, PAGP Class B Shares and Holdings GP Units (or, if so required, to ensure that any such Exchange shall be effective only upon, and shall be conditional upon, the closing of such Pubco Offer and only to the extent necessary to tender or deposit to the Pubco Offer in accordance with the last sentence of Section 7.9(c) , or, as applicable, to the extent necessary to exchange the number of Class A Units, PAGP Class B Shares and Holdings GP Units being repurchased). For the avoidance of doubt, in no

event shall the Class A Partners (other than PAGP or the General Partner) be entitled to receive in such Pubco Offer aggregate consideration for each Class A Unit and corresponding PAGP Class B Share and Holdings GP Unit that is greater than the consideration payable in respect of each PAGP Class A Share in connection with a Pubco Offer.

(i) No Exchange shall impair the right of the Exchanging Partner to receive any distributions payable on the Class A Units so exchanged in respect of a Record Date that occurs prior to the Exchange Date for such Exchange. For the avoidance of doubt, no Exchanging Partner, or a Person designated by an Exchanging Partner to receive PAGP Class A Shares, shall be entitled to receive, with respect to the same fiscal quarter, distributions or dividends both on Class A Units exchanged by such Exchanging Partner and on PAGP Class A Shares received by such Exchanging Partner, or other Person so designated, if applicable, in such Exchange.

7.10 Conversion of Class B Units

(a) Subject to and in accordance with the applicable Class B Restricted Unit Agreement, if at any time after December 31, 2015, the PAGP Class A Shares are publicly traded, each of the Class B Partners shall be entitled to exchange (a “ Conversion ”) any or all of such Class B Partner’s Vested Units for a number of Class A Units (the “ Converted Class A Units ”) equal to the product of the number of Vested Units being exchanged multiplied by the Conversion Factor.

(b) In order to effect a Conversion, the exchanging Class B Partner (the “ Converting Partner ”) shall deliver written notice (the “ Conversion Notice ”) to the Partnership and PAGP stating that the Converting Partner elects to exchange a stated number of Class B Units as specified in such notice.

(c) As promptly as practicable after the receipt of the Conversion Notice, PAGP shall issue and contribute to the Partnership a number of PAGP Class B Shares in the same amount as the Converted Class A Units, and the Partnership shall deliver such PAGP Class B Shares to the Converting Partner, and the Partnership shall issue and deliver to the Converting Partner the Converted Class A Units. Each Conversion shall be deemed to have been effected on the Business Day after the date on which the Conversion Notice shall have been received by the Partnership and PAGP (the “ Conversion Date ”), and the applicable Converting Partner shall be deemed to have become, on the Conversion Date, the holder or holders of record of the Converted Class A Units together with an equivalent number of PAGP Class B Shares. All Converted Class A Units shall, upon issuance thereof, be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, except as such non-assessability may be affected by Sections 17-303, 17-607 and 17-804 of the Act and as provided in Section 3.1 .

(d) Upon receipt of the Converted Class A Units, the Converting Partner shall become a Class A Partner in accordance with Section 7.3 , and shall have all rights, powers and benefits of, and is subject to the obligations, restrictions and liabilities of a Class A Partner under, the Certificate, this Agreement and the Act.

(e) No Conversion shall impair the right of the Converting Partner to receive any distributions payable on the Class B Units so converted in respect of a record date that occurs

prior to the Conversion Date for such Conversion. For the avoidance of doubt, no Converting Partner shall be entitled to receive, in respect of the same fiscal quarter, distributions both on Class B Units converted by such Converting Partner and on the Converted Class A Units received in such Conversion.

7.11 Redemption of Class A Units

(a) Subject to Section 7.11(g) , each of the Class A Partners other than PAGP or the General Partner shall be entitled, at any time and from time to time, to cause the Partnership to (i) redeem all or any portion of such Partner’s Class A Units and (ii) in consideration therefor distribute to such Class A Partner one MLP Common Unit for each Class A Unit being redeemed (such transactions, a “ Redemption ” and such MLP Common Units, the “ Consideration Units ”). In connection with any such Redemption, the Redeeming Partner shall also transfer to PAGP an equivalent number of PAGP Class B Shares and Holdings GP Units (unless such Redeeming Partner is a former Class B Partner who did not receive any Holdings GP Units upon the conversion of the applicable Class B Units). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the right of a holder of Converted Class A Units to redeem such Converted Class A Units shall be limited to the extent necessary to prevent the Redemption of such Converted Class A Units from causing (or increasing) an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit for such holder (after taking into account any allocations pursuant to Section 5.2(d) ) associated with such Redemption.

(b) In order to exercise the redemption right under Section 7.11(a) , the redeeming Class A Partner (the “ Redeeming Partner ”) shall provide written notice (the “ Redemption Notice ”) to the Partnership stating that the Redeeming Partner elects to cause the Partnership to redeem a stated number of Class A Units, represented, if applicable, by a certificate or certificates, to the extent specified in such notice. In connection with the delivery of such notice, the Redeeming Partner shall deliver an instrument of transfer (i) to the Partnership conveying to the Partnership the applicable Class A Units and (ii) to PAGP conveying to PAGP the associated PAGP Class B Shares and Holdings GP Units, as applicable, and present and surrender the certificate or certificates representing such Class A Units, if applicable, during normal business hours at the principal executive offices of the Partnership or PAGP, as applicable. The instrument of transfer delivered by the Redeeming Partner pursuant to the foregoing sentence shall be in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Partnership and duly executed by the Redeeming Partner or the Redeeming Partner’s duly authorized representative.

(c) As promptly as practicable after the receipt of (i) the Redemption Notice, (ii) the instrument of transfer described in Section 7.11(b) and (iii) the certificate or certificates, if any, representing such Class A Units (but in any event by the Redemption Date, as defined below), the Partnership shall transfer and deliver the Consideration Units to the Redeeming Partner, which transfer shall be made pursuant to an instrument of transfer in a form reasonably acceptable to the Partnership and the Redeeming Member. Each Redemption shall be deemed to have been effected upon the Business Day following receipt by the Partnership of the required instruments of transfer or other documents required pursuant to Section 7.11(b) or this Section 7.11(c) (such effective date, the “ Redemption Date ”). On the Redemption Date, the Redeeming Partner shall be deemed to have become the holder of record of the Consideration Units, and the Class A Units redeemed in connection with the Redemption shall be automatically cancelled by the Partnership, without further action of any Person.

(d) The Partnership shall at all times keep available, solely for the purpose of distribution upon a Redemption, such number of MLP Common Units that shall be distributable upon the Redemption of all such outstanding Class A Units (which, for purposes of this Section 7.11(d) , shall include the Class A Units into which the outstanding Vested Units or Earned Units may be converted in accordance with Section 7.10 hereof).

(e) The distribution of MLP Common Units upon a Redemption shall be made without charge to the Redeeming Partner for any stamp or other similar tax in respect of such distribution.

(f) No Redemption shall impair the right of the Redeeming Partner to receive any distributions payable on the Class A Units so redeemed in respect of a Record Date that occurs prior to the Redemption Date for such Redemption. For the avoidance of doubt, no Redeeming Partner shall be entitled to receive, with respect to the same fiscal quarter, distributions or dividends both on Class A Units redeemed by such Redeeming Partner and on MLP Common Units received by such Redeeming Partner in such Redemption.

(g) Until the first anniversary of the date hereof (the “ Lock-Up Period ”), (i) neither Gregory L. Armstrong nor Harry N. Pefanis may exercise any Redemption rights with respect to any Class A Units owned by such individuals, (ii) PAA Management, L.P. may not exercise its Redemption right with respect to any Class A Units attributable to the interests of Messrs. Armstrong and Pefanis in such entity and (iii) no other Class A Partner (including PAA Management, L.P. with respect to any Class A Units attributable to the interests of owners other than Messrs. Armstrong and Pefanis) may exercise its Redemption right if such exercise would result in the Redemption (when taken together with all previous Redemptions by such Class A Partner) of more than 78% of the Class A Units owned by such Class A Partner as of the date hereof (the “ Lock-Up Threshold ”); provided , however , that a Class A Partner (other than Messrs. Armstrong and Pefanis and PAA Management, L.P. with respect to any Class A Units attributable to the interests of Messrs. Armstrong and Pefanis in such entity) may redeem Class A Units pursuant to this Section 7.11 in excess of its Lock-Up Threshold if (A) one or more Class A Partners agrees in writing pursuant to documents reasonably acceptable to the Partnership in form and content to forbear from exercising its Redemption right during the Lock-Up Period with respect to an equal number of Class A Units in excess of its Lock-Up Threshold and (B) such Class A Partners promptly provide the Partnership notice of such agreement and deliver executed copies of such documents to the Partnership promptly following their execution. The foregoing restriction will immediately terminate and be of no further force or effect upon the MLP experiencing a technical tax termination notwithstanding the foregoing restriction. In addition, each holder of Class A Units agrees that, for so long as such holder is subject to a restriction on the exercise of its Redemption right with respect to any portion of its Class A Units pursuant to this Section 7.11(g) , such holder agrees not to consummate a Transfer of all or any part of such holder’s Partnership Group Interest pursuant to Sections 7.2 or 7.8 hereof if, after giving effect thereto, such holder would own less than (x) 100% of the Class A Units owned as of the date hereof in the case of Messrs. Armstrong and Pefanis (including both their direct holdings and any indirect holdings through their respective interests in PAA Management, L.P.) or (y) 22% of such holder’s Class A Units as of the date hereof in the case of all other holders, in each case unless the applicable Transferee agrees in writing pursuant to documents reasonably acceptable to the Partnership in form and content to forbear from

exercising the Redemption right with respect to the applicable Class A Units being Transferred to the extent required to comply with the provisions of this Section 7.11(g) .

ARTICLE VIII
DISSOLUTION AND LIQUIDATION

8.1 Dissolution of Partnership

(a) The Partnership shall be dissolved and its affairs wound up upon the first to occur of the following events:

(i) the written election of the General Partner, in its sole discretion, to dissolve the Partnership;

(ii) the occurrence of any event that results in the General Partner ceasing to be the general partner of the Partnership under the Act, provided that the Partnership will not be dissolved and required to be wound up in connection with any such event if (A) at the time of the occurrence of such event there is at least one remaining general partner of the Partnership who is hereby authorized to and does carry on the business of the Partnership, or (B) within 90 days after the occurrence of such event, all of the Class A Partners agree in writing to continue the business of the Partnership and to the appointment, effective as of the date of such event, if required, of one or more additional general partners of the Partnership;

(iii) the Transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Partnership and the receipt and distribution of all the proceeds therefrom;

(iv) at any time that there are no limited partners of the Partnership, unless the business of the Partnership is continued in accordance with the Act; and

(v) the entry of a decree of judicial dissolution under Section 17-802 of the Act.

(b) The withdrawal, death, dissolution, retirement, resignation, expulsion, liquidation or bankruptcy of a Partner, the admission to the Partnership of a new General Partner or Limited Partner, the withdrawal of a Partner from the Partnership, or the transfer by a Partner of its Partnership Interest to a third party shall not, in and of itself, cause the Partnership to dissolve.

8.2 Final Accounting

Upon dissolution and winding up of the Partnership, an accounting will be made of the accounts of the Partnership and each Partner and of the Partnership’s assets, liabilities and operations from the date of the last previous accounting to the date of such dissolution.

8.3 Distributions Following Dissolution and Termination

(a) Liquidating Trustee . Upon the dissolution of the Partnership, such party as is designated by the General Partner will act as liquidating trustee of the Partnership (the

“ Liquidating Trustee ”) and proceed to wind up the business and affairs of the Partnership in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and applicable law. The Liquidating Trustee will use its reasonable best efforts to sell all Partnership assets (except cash) in the exercise of its best judgment under the circumstances then presented, that it deems in the best interest of the Partners. The Liquidating Trustee will attempt to convert all assets of the Partnership to cash so long as it can do so consistently with prudent business practice. The Partners and their respective designees will have the right to purchase any Partnership property to be sold on liquidation, provided that the terms on which such sale is made are no less favorable than would otherwise be available from third parties. The gains and losses from the sale of the Partnership assets, together with all other revenue, income, gain, deduction, expense, loss and credit during the period, will be allocated in accordance with Article V . A reasonable amount of time shall be allowed for the period of winding up in light of prevailing market conditions so as to avoid undue loss in connection with any sale of Partnership assets. This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect during the period of winding up. In addition, upon request of the General Partner and if the Liquidating Trustee determines that it would be imprudent to dispose of any non-cash assets of the Partnership, such assets may be distributed in kind to the Partners in lieu of cash, proportionately to their right to receive cash distributions pursuant to Section 8.3(c) hereunder.

(b) Accounting . The Liquidating Trustee will then cause proper accounting to be made of the Capital Account of each Partner, including recognition of any unrealized gain or loss on any asset to be distributed in kind as if such asset had been sold for consideration equal to the fair market value of the asset at the time of the distribution.

(i) In settling accounts after dissolution of the Partnership, the assets of the Partnership shall be paid to creditors of the Partnership and distributed to the Partners in the following order:

(A) to creditors of the Partnership (including Partners) in the order of priority as provided by law whether by payment or the making of reasonable provision for payment thereof, and in connection therewith there shall be withheld such reasonable reserves for contingent, conditioned or unconditioned liabilities as the Liquidating Trustee in its reasonable discretion deems adequate, such reserves (or balances thereof) to be held and distributed in such manner and at such times as the Liquidating Trustee, in its discretion, deems reasonably advisable; provided , however , that such amounts be maintained in a separate bank account and that any amounts in such bank account remaining after three years be distributed to the Partners or their successors and assigns as if such amount had been available for distribution under Section 8.3(c)(ii) ; and then

(B) (1) First, an amount equal to Initial Grant Date Partnership Capital, to the Class A Partners pro rata based on the number of Class A Units held; and

(2) Second, with respect to each Subsequent Grant Date (determined in order of Subsequent Grant Date), an amount equal to the difference, if any,

between the Subsequent Grant Date Partnership Capital for such Subsequent Grant Date and the Subsequent Grant Date Capital for the immediately preceding Subsequent Grant Date or, if there is no previous Subsequent Grant Date, the Initial Grant Date Partnership Capital, to the Class A Partners and the Class B Partners, pro rata, based on the number of Class A Units held and the number of Earned Units and/or Vested Units held (to the extent of Class B Units held prior to the Subsequent Grant Date for which such determination is being made), assuming in the case of Earned Units and Vested Units, the conversion of such Units into Class A Units based on the Conversion Factor; and

(3) Third, any remaining amounts, to the Class A Partners and the Class B Partners, pro rata, based on the number of Class A Units, Earned Units and/or Vested Units held, assuming in the case of Earned Units and Vested Units, the conversion of such Units into Class A Units based on the Conversion Factor.

(ii) Any distribution to the Partners in liquidation of the Partnership shall be made by the later of the end of the taxable year in which the liquidation occurs or 90 days after the date of such liquidation. For purposes of the preceding sentence, the term “liquidation” shall have the same meaning as set forth in Regulation Section 1.704-2(b)(2)(ii) as in effect at such time and liquidating distributions shall be further deemed to be made pursuant to this Agreement upon the event of a liquidation as defined in such Regulation for which no actual liquidation occurs with a deemed recontribution by the Partners of such deemed liquidating distributions to the continuing Partnership pursuant to this Agreement.

(d) Profits and Losses arising from the dissolution and termination of the Partnership shall be allocated among the Partners so that after such allocations and the other allocations under this Agreement, to the maximum extent possible, the final Capital Account balances of the Member are at levels which would permit liquidating distributions, if made in accordance with such final Capital Account balances, to be equal to the distributions to be made under Section 8.3(c)(i) . Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 8.3(c)(i) , no distributions shall be made with respect to a Converted Class A Unit, an Earned Unit or a Vested Unit that exceeds the Capital Account attributable to such Converted Class A Unit, Earned Unit or Vested Unit. Any amount not distributable to a Converted Class A Unit, Earned Unit or Vested Unit pursuant to the preceding sentence shall instead be distributed to the Class A Partners and Class B Partners, pro rata, based on the number of Class A Units, Earned Units and/or Vested Units held (to the extent not restricted by the preceding sentence), assuming in the case of Earned Units and Vested Units, the conversion of such Units into Class A Units based on the Conversion Factor.

(e) No Third Party Benefit . The provisions of this Agreement, including, without limitation, this Section 8.3 , are intended solely to benefit the Partners and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, shall not be construed as conferring any benefit upon any creditor of the Partnership, and no such creditor of the Partnership shall be a third-party beneficiary of this Agreement, and no Partner shall have any duty or obligation to any creditor of the Partnership to issue any call for capital pursuant to this Agreement.

8.4 Termination of the Partnership

The Partnership shall terminate when all assets of the Partnership, after payment or due provision for all debts, liabilities and obligations of the Partnership, shall have been distributed to the Partners in the manner provided for in this Article VIII , and the Certificate shall have been canceled in the manner required by the Act.

8.5 No Action for Dissolution

The Limited Partners acknowledge that irreparable damage would be done to the goodwill and reputation of the Partnership if any Limited Partner should bring an action in court to dissolve the Partnership under circumstances where dissolution is not required by Section 8.1 . Accordingly, except where the General Partner has failed to cause the liquidation of the Partnership as required by Section 8.1 and except as specifically provided in Section 17-802 of the Act, each Limited Partner hereby to the fullest extent permitted by law waives and renounces his right to initiate legal action to seek dissolution of the Partnership or to seek the appointment of a receiver or trustee to wind up the affairs of the Partnership, except in the cases of fraud, bad faith or willful misconduct.

ARTICLE II
REGISTRATION RIGHTS

Section 2.01 Shelf Registration .

(a) Shelf Registration of Outstanding Registrable Securities . The Partnership shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to (i) prepare and file an initial registration statement under the Securities Act to permit the public resale of Outstanding Registrable Securities from time to time as permitted by Rule 415 (or any similar provision adopted by the Commission then in effect) of the Securities Act (a “ Registration Statement ”) and (ii) cause such initial Registration Statement to become effective as soon as practicable after the date hereof. The Partnership will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such initial Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Section 2.01(a) to be continuously effective under the Securities Act, with respect to any Holder, until the earliest to occur of the following: (A) the date on which all Outstanding Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement have been distributed in the manner set forth and as contemplated in such Registration Statement and (B) the date on which there are no longer any Registrable Securities outstanding (in each case of clause (A) or (B), the “ Effectiveness Period ”). A Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Section 2.01(a) shall be on such appropriate registration form of the Commission as shall be selected by the Partnership; provided that, if the Partnership is then eligible, it shall file such Registration Statement on Form S-3. A Registration Statement when declared effective (including the documents incorporated therein by reference) will comply as to form in all material respects with all applicable requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act

and will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading (and, in the case of any prospectus contained in such Registration Statement, in the light of the circumstances under which a statement is made). As soon as practicable following the date that a Registration Statement becomes effective, but in any event within three (3) Business Days of such date, the Partnership shall provide the Holders with written notice of the effectiveness of a Registration Statement.

(b) Shelf Registration of Contingent Registrable Securities . The Partnership shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to prepare and file a Registration Statement and maintain the effectiveness of such Registration Statement to permit public resales of Contingent Registrable Securities on the same terms, and subject to the same conditions and restrictions, as set forth in Section 2.01(a) with respect to Outstanding Registrable Securities.

(c) Delay Rights . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Partnership may, upon written notice to any Selling Holder whose Registrable Securities are included in a Registration Statement, suspend such Selling Holder’s use of any prospectus which is a part of such Registration Statement (in which event the Selling Holder shall suspend sales of the Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement) if (i) the Partnership is pursuing an acquisition, merger, reorganization, disposition or other similar transaction and the Partnership determines in good faith that the Partnership’s ability to pursue or consummate such a transaction would be materially and adversely affected by any required disclosure of such transaction in such Registration Statement or (ii) the Partnership has experienced some other material non-public event, the disclosure of which at such time, in the good faith judgment of the Partnership, would materially and adversely affect the Partnership; provided , however, that in no event shall the Selling Holders be suspended from selling Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement for a period that exceeds an aggregate of sixty (60) days in any 180-day period or ninety (90) days in any 365-day period. Upon disclosure of such information or the termination of the condition described above, the Partnership shall provide prompt notice to the Selling Holders whose Registrable Securities are included in such Registration Statement, and shall promptly terminate any suspension of sales it has put into effect and shall take such other actions necessary or appropriate to permit registered sales of Registrable Securities as contemplated in this Agreement.

Section 2.02 Piggyback Registration .

(a) Participation . If at any time the Partnership proposes to file (i) a Registration Statement (other than a Registration Statement contemplated by Section 2.01(a) ) on behalf of any other Persons who have or have been granted registration rights by the Partnership (the “ Other Holders ”) or (ii) a prospectus supplement relating to the sale of Common Units by any Other Holders pursuant to an effective “automatic” registration statement, so long as the Partnership is a WKSI at such time or, whether or not the Partnership is a WKSI, so long as the Registrable Securities were previously included in the underlying shelf Registration Statement or are included on an effective Registration Statement, or in any other case in which Holders may participate in such offering without the filing of a post-effective amendment of a registration statement, in each case, for the sale of Common Units by Other Holders in an Underwritten Offering (including an Underwritten Offering undertaken pursuant to Section 2.03 ), then the

Partnership shall give not less than three Business Days’ notice (including, but not limited to, notification by electronic mail) (the “ Piggyback Notice ”) of such proposed Underwritten Offering to each Holder (together with its Affiliates) owning more than $100 million of Registrable Securities, calculated on the basis of the Average Common Unit Price as of the date of the Piggyback Notice, and such Piggyback Notice shall offer such Holder the opportunity to include in such Underwritten Offering for Other Holders such number of Registrable Securities (the “ Included Registrable Securities ”) as such Holder may request in writing (a “ Piggyback Registration ”); provided , however, that the Partnership shall not be required to offer such opportunity (A) to such Holders if the Holders, together with their Affiliates, do not offer a minimum of $50 million of Registrable Securities, in the aggregate (determined by multiplying the number of Registrable Securities offered by the Average Common Unit Price), or (B) to such Holders if and to the extent that the Partnership has been advised by the Managing Underwriter that the inclusion of Registrable Securities for sale for the benefit of such Holders will have an adverse effect on the price, timing or distribution of the Common Units in such Underwritten Offering, then the amount of Registrable Securities to be offered for the accounts of Holders shall be determined based on the provisions of Section 2.02(b) . Each Piggyback Notice shall be provided to the applicable Holders on a Business Day pursuant to Section 3.01 . Each such Holder will have two Business Days (or one Business Day in connection with any overnight or bought Underwritten Offering) after such Piggyback Notice has been delivered to request in writing the inclusion of Registrable Securities in the Underwritten Offering for Other Holders. If no request for inclusion from a Holder is received within the specified time, such Holder shall have no further right to participate in such Underwritten Offering. If, at any time after giving written notice of its intention to undertake an Underwritten Offering for Other Holders and prior to the closing of such Underwritten Offering, the Partnership shall determine for any reason not to undertake or to delay such Underwritten Offering, the Partnership may, at its election, give written notice of such determination to the Selling Holders and, (1) in the case of a determination not to undertake such Underwritten Offering, shall be relieved of its obligation to sell any Included Registrable Securities in connection with such terminated Underwritten Offering for Other Holders, and (2) in the case of a determination to delay such Underwritten Offering, shall be permitted to delay offering any Included Registrable Securities for the same period as the delay in the Underwritten Offering for Other Holders. Any Selling Holder shall have the right to withdraw such Selling Holder’s request for inclusion of such Selling Holder’s Registrable Securities in such Underwritten Offering by giving written notice to the Partnership of such withdrawal at least one Business Day prior to the time of pricing of such Underwritten Offering. Any Holder may deliver written notice (a “ Piggyback Opt-Out Notice ”) to the Partnership requesting that such Holder not receive notice from the Partnership of any proposed Underwritten Offering for Other Holders; provided , however, that such Holder may later revoke any such Piggyback Opt-Out Notice in writing. Following receipt of a Piggyback Opt-Out Notice from a Holder (unless subsequently revoked), the Partnership shall not be required to deliver any notice to such Holder pursuant to this Section 2.02(a) and such Holder shall no longer be entitled to participate in Underwritten Offerings for Other Holders pursuant to this Section 2.02(a) , unless such Piggyback Opt-Out Notice is revoked by such Holder.

(b) Priority of Piggyback Registration . If the Managing Underwriter or Underwriters of any proposed Underwritten Offering for Other Holders advise the Partnership that the total amount of Registrable Securities that the Selling Holders and any Other Holders intend to include in such offering exceeds the number that can be sold in such offering without

being likely to have an adverse effect on the price, timing or distribution of the Common Units offered or the market for the Common Units, then the Common Units to be included in such Underwritten Offering shall include the number of Registrable Securities that such Managing Underwriter or Underwriters advise the Partnership can be sold without having such adverse effect, with such number to be allocated pro rata among the Selling Holders and the Other Holders who have requested such Underwritten Offering or participation in the Piggyback Registration (based, for each such Selling Holder or Other Holder, on the percentage derived by dividing (A) the number of Common Units proposed to be sold by such Selling Holder or such Other Holder in such offering by (B) the aggregate number of Common Units proposed to be sold by all Selling Holders and all Other Holders in the Piggyback Registration).

Section 2.03 Underwritten Offering .

(a) S-3 Registration . In the event that any of (i) Oxy Holding Company (Pipeline), Inc. and its Affiliates, (ii) The Energy Minerals Group and its Affiliates or (iii) Kayne Anderson Capital Advisors and its Affiliates elect to dispose of Registrable Securities under a Registration Statement pursuant to an Underwritten Offering and reasonably expect gross proceeds of at least $150 million from such Underwritten Offering (together with any Registrable Securities to be disposed of by a Selling Holder who has elected to participate in such Underwritten Offering pursuant to Section 2.02 ), the Partnership shall, at the request of such Selling Holder(s), enter into an underwriting agreement in a form as is customary in Underwritten Offerings of securities by the Partnership with the Managing Underwriter or Underwriters selected by the Partnership, which shall include, among other provisions, indemnities to the effect and to the extent provided in Section 2.08 , and shall take all such other reasonable actions as are requested by the Managing Underwriter in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of such Registrable Securities; provided, however, that the Partnership shall have no obligation to facilitate or participate in, including entering into any underwriting agreement, more than three (3) Underwritten Offerings requested by each of (i) Oxy Holding Company (Pipeline), Inc. and its Affiliates, collectively, (ii) The Energy Minerals Group and its Affiliates, collectively, or (iii) Kayne Anderson Capital Advisors and its Affiliates, collectively, for a maximum of nine total Underwritten Offerings; provided, further, that if the Partnership is conducting or actively pursuing a securities offering with anticipated offering proceeds of at least $150 million (other than in connection with any at-the-market offering or similar continuous offering program), then the Partnership may suspend such Selling Holder’s right to require the Partnership to conduct an Underwritten Offering on such Selling Holder’s behalf pursuant to this Section 2.03 ; provided, however, that the Partnership may only suspend such Selling Holder’s right to require the Partnership to conduct an Underwritten Offering pursuant to this Section 2.03 once in any six month period. Notwithstanding anything to the foregoing, if the aggregate value of the Registrable Securities held by any of (i) Oxy Holding Company (Pipeline), Inc. and its Affiliates, (ii) The Energy Minerals Group and its Affiliates or (iii) Kayne Anderson Capital Advisors and its Affiliates is less than or equal to $150 million, such Selling Holder may make a single and final request (provided that such Selling Holder has not previously requested its allotment of three Underwritten Offerings) with respect to its remaining Registrable Securities and the Partnership shall, upon such single and final request, take the actions provided for in this Section 2.03(a) in order to facilitate the disposition of such Registrable Securities pursuant to an Underwritten Offering.

(b) General Procedures . In connection with any Underwritten Offering contemplated by Section 2.03(a) , the underwriting agreement into which each Selling Holder and the Partnership shall enter shall contain such representations, covenants, indemnities (subject to Section 2.08 ) and other rights and obligations as are customary in Underwritten Offerings of securities by the Partnership. No Selling Holder shall be required to make any representations or warranties to or agreements with the Partnership other than representations, warranties or agreements regarding such Selling Holder’s authority to enter into such underwriting agreement and to sell, and its ownership of, the securities being registered on its behalf, its intended method of distribution and any other representation required by law. If any Selling Holder disapproves of the terms of an Underwritten Offering contemplated by this Section 2.03 , such Selling Holder may elect to withdraw therefrom by notice to the Partnership and the Managing Underwriter; provided , however, that such withdrawal must be made at least one Business Day prior to the time of pricing of such Underwritten Offering to be effective. No such withdrawal or abandonment shall affect the Partnership’s obligation to pay Registration Expenses.

Section 2.04 Further Obligations . In connection with its obligations under this Article II , the Partnership will:

(a) promptly prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and supplements to a Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement effective for the Effectiveness Period and as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement;

(q) if any Holder could reasonably be deemed to be an “ underwriter, ” as defined in Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act, in connection with the Registration Statement and any amendment or supplement thereof (a “ Holder Underwriter Registration Statement ”), then the Partnership will reasonably cooperate with such Holder in allowing such Holder to conduct customary “ underwriter’s due diligence ” with respect to the Partnership and satisfy its obligations in respect thereof. In addition, at any Holder’s request, the Partnership will furnish to such Holder, on the date of the effectiveness of the Holder Underwriter Registration Statement and thereafter from time to time on such dates as such Holder may reasonably request (provided that such request shall not be more frequently than on an annual basis unless such Holder is offering Registrable Securities pursuant to a Holder Underwriter Registration Statement), (i) a “ comfort ” letter, dated such date, from the Partnership’s independent certified public accountants in form and substance as has been customarily given by independent certified public accountants to underwriters in Underwritten Public Offerings of securities by the Partnership, addressed to such Holder, (ii) an opinion, dated as of such date, of counsel representing the Partnership for purposes of the Holder Underwriter Registration Statement, in form, scope and substance as has been customarily given in Underwritten Public Offerings of securities by the Partnership, including standard “ 10b-5 ” negative assurance for such offerings, addressed to such Holder and (iii) a standard officer’s certificate from the chief executive officer or chief financial officer, or other officers serving such functions, of GP LLC addressed to the Holder, as has been customarily given by such officers in Underwritten Public Offerings of securities by the Partnership.

If the staff of the Commission requires the Partnership to name any Holder as an underwriter (as defined in Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act), and such Holder does not consent thereto, then such Holder’s Registrable Securities shall not be included on the applicable Registration Statement and the Partnership shall have no further obligations hereunder with respect to Registrable Securities held by such Holder, unless such Holder has not had an opportunity to conduct customary underwriter’s due diligence as set forth in subsection (q) of this Section 2.04 with respect to the Partnership at the time such Holder’s consent is sought.

Each Selling Holder, upon receipt of notice from the Partnership of the happening of any event of the kind described in subsection (f) of this Section 2.04 , shall forthwith discontinue offers and sales of the Registrable Securities by means of a prospectus or prospectus supplement until such Selling Holder’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by subsection (f) of this Section 2.04 or until it is advised in writing by the Partnership that the use of the prospectus may be resumed and has received copies of any additional or supplemental filings incorporated by reference in the prospectus, and, if so directed by the Partnership, such Selling Holder will, or will request the Managing Underwriter or Managing Underwriters, if any, to deliver to the Partnership (at the Partnership’s expense) all copies in their possession or control, other than permanent file copies then in such Selling Holder’s possession, of the prospectus covering such Registrable Securities current at the time of receipt of such notice.

Section 2.05 Cooperation by Holders . The Partnership shall have no obligation to include Registrable Securities of a Holder in a Registration Statement or in an Underwritten Offering pursuant to Section 2.03(a) who has failed to timely furnish such information that the Partnership determines, after consultation with its counsel, is reasonably required in order for any registration statement or prospectus supplement, as applicable, to comply with the Securities Act.

Section 2.06 Restrictions on Public Sale by Holders of Registrable Securities .

(b) Expenses . The Partnership will pay all reasonable Registration Expenses, as determined in good faith, in connection with a shelf Registration, a Piggyback Registration or an Underwritten Offering, whether or not any sale is made pursuant to such shelf Registration, Piggyback Registration or Underwritten Offering.

In addition, except as otherwise provided in Section 2.08 , the Partnership shall not be responsible for professional fees (including legal fees) incurred by Holders in connection with the exercise of such Holders’ rights hereunder.

Section 2.08 Indemnification .

(a) By the Partnership . In the event of a registration of any Registrable Securities under the Securities Act pursuant to this Agreement, the Partnership will indemnify and hold harmless each Selling Holder thereunder, its directors, officers, managers, partners, employees and agents and each Person, if any, who controls such Selling Holder within the meaning of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, and its directors, officers, managers, partners, employees or agents (collectively, the “ Selling Holder Indemnified Persons ”), against any losses, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) (collectively, “ Losses ”), joint or several, to which such Selling Holder Indemnified Person may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such Losses (or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact (in the case of any prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which such statement is made) contained in (which, for the avoidance of doubt, includes documents incorporated by reference in) the applicable Registration Statement or other registration statement contemplated by this Agreement, any preliminary prospectus, prospectus supplement or final prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereof, or any free writing prospectus relating thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, and will reimburse each such Selling Holder Indemnified Person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating, defending or resolving any such Loss or actions or proceedings; provided , however, that the Partnership will not be liable in any such case if and to the extent that any such Loss arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission so made in conformity with information furnished by such Selling Holder Indemnified Person in writing specifically for use in the applicable Registration Statement or other registration statement, or prospectus supplement, as applicable. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such Selling Holder Indemnified Person, and shall survive the transfer of such securities by such Selling Holder.

(b) By Each Selling Holder . Each Selling Holder agrees severally and not jointly to indemnify and hold harmless the Partnership, the General Partner, the GP Entities, GP LLC’s

directors, officers, employees and agents and each Person, who, directly or indirectly, controls the Partnership within the meaning of the Securities Act or of the Exchange Act to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Partnership to the Selling Holders, but only with respect to information regarding such Selling Holder furnished in writing by or on behalf of such Selling Holder expressly for inclusion in a Registration Statement or any other registration statement contemplated by this Agreement, any preliminary prospectus, prospectus supplement or final prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereto or any free writing prospectus relating thereto; provided , however, that the liability of each Selling Holder shall not be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the proceeds (net of any Selling Expenses) received by such Selling Holder from the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such indemnification.

(c) Notice . Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party hereunder of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party hereunder, notify the indemnifying party in writing thereof, but the omission to so notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have to any indemnified party other than under this Section 2.08(c) except to the extent that the indemnifying party is materially prejudiced by such failure. In any action brought against any indemnified party, it shall notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof. The indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in and, to the extent it shall wish, to assume and undertake the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party and, after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume and undertake the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 2.08 for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation and of liaison with counsel so selected; provided , however, that, (i) if the indemnifying party has failed to assume the defense or employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party or (ii) if the defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and counsel to the indemnified party shall have concluded that there may be reasonable defenses available to the indemnified party that are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, or if the interests of the indemnified party reasonably may be deemed to conflict with the interests of the indemnifying party, then the indemnified party shall have the right to select a separate counsel and to assume such legal defense and otherwise to participate in the defense of such action, with the reasonable expenses and fees of such separate counsel and other reasonable expenses related to such participation to be reimbursed by the indemnifying party as incurred. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no indemnifying party shall settle any action brought against any indemnified party with respect to which such indemnified party may be entitled to indemnification hereunder without the consent of the indemnified party, unless the settlement thereof imposes no liability or obligation on, includes a complete and unconditional release from liability of, and does not contain any admission of wrongdoing by, the indemnified party.

(d) Contribution . If the indemnification provided for in this Section 2.08 is held by a court or government agency of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to any indemnified party or is insufficient to hold them harmless in respect of any Losses, then each such indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such Losses in such proportion

as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party, on the one hand, and of the indemnified party, on the other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such Losses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations; provided , however, that in no event shall any Selling Holder be required to contribute an aggregate amount in excess of the dollar amount of proceeds (net of Selling Expenses) received by such Selling Holder from the sale of Registrable Securities giving rise to such indemnification. The relative fault of the indemnifying party, on the one hand, and the indemnified party, on the other, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact has been made by, or relates to, information supplied by such party, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contributions pursuant to this paragraph were to be determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to herein. The amount paid by an indemnified party as a result of the Losses referred to in the first sentence of this paragraph shall be deemed to include any legal and other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating, defending or resolving any Loss that is the subject of this paragraph. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who is not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

(e) Other Indemnification . The provisions of this Section 2.08 shall be in addition to any other rights to indemnification or contribution that an indemnified party may have pursuant to law, equity, contract or otherwise.

Section 2.09 Rule 144 Reporting . With a view to making available the benefits of certain rules and regulations of the Commission that may permit the sale of the Registrable Securities to the public without registration, the Partnership agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to:

(a) make and keep public information regarding the Partnership available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act (or any similar provision then in effect), at all times from and after the date hereof;

(b) file with the Commission in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Partnership under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act at all times from and after the date hereof; and

(c) so long as a Holder owns any Registrable Securities, furnish (i) to the extent accurate, forthwith upon request, a written statement of the Partnership that it has complied with the reporting requirements of Rule 144 under the Securities Act (or any similar provision then in effect) and (ii) unless otherwise available via the Commission’s EDGAR filing system, to such Holder forthwith upon request a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Partnership, and such other reports and documents so filed as such Holder may reasonably request in availing itself of any rule or regulation of the Commission allowing such Holder to sell any such securities without registration.

Section 2.10 Transfer or Assignment of Registration Rights .

(a) The rights to cause the Partnership to register Registrable Securities under this Article II may be transferred or assigned by each Holder to one or more transferees or assignees of Registrable Securities or securities convertible into Registrable Securities; provided , however, that (i) the Partnership is given written notice prior to any said transfer or assignment, stating the name and address of each such transferee or assignee and identifying the securities with respect to which such registration rights are being transferred or assigned and (ii) each such transferee or assignee assumes in writing responsibility for its portion of the obligations of such transferring Holder under this Agreement.

(b) The Partnership shall promptly amend or supplement Schedule A or Schedule B from time to time to reflect the (i) the valid transfer or assignment by an Initial Holder of its rights hereunder to another Person or (ii) the inclusion of any holder of an Earned Unit or Vested Unit (as those terms are defined in the Plains AAP LP Agreement), it being the intent of the parties that each such Person will become a party to this Agreement as a Holder, subject to the execution and delivery of a customary acknowledgment and agreement prepared by the Partnership pursuant to which such Person agrees to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Further, upon any such amendment or supplement of Schedule A or Schedule B to reflect the inclusion of such Person, the Partnership will take all appropriate action to include such Holder’s Registrable Securities in an effective Shelf Registration Statement. Any such amendment of Schedule A or Schedule B by the Partnership shall not be considered an amendment of this Agreement for purposes of Section 3.11 .

Section 2.11 Limitation on Subsequent Registration Rights . From and after the date hereof, the Partnership shall not, without the prior written consent of the Holders of a majority of the outstanding Registrable Securities or securities convertible into Registrable Securities, as applicable, enter into any agreement with any current or future holder of any securities of the Partnership that would allow such current or future holder to require the Partnership to include securities in any registration statement filed by the Partnership for Other Holders on a basis other than pari passu with, or expressly subordinate to, the piggyback rights of the Holders of Registrable Securities hereunder.

(b) Except as otherwise provided in Section 4.9, the Partnership shall not recognize any transfer of Limited Partner Interests until the Certificates evidencing such Limited Partner Interests, or other evidence of the issuance of uncertificated Units, are surrendered for registration of transfer. No charge shall be imposed by the Partnership for such transfer; provided, that as a condition to the issuance of any new Certificate, or other evidence of the issuance of uncertificated Units, under this Section 4.5, the Partnership may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed with respect thereto.

(c) Limited Partner Interests may be transferred only in the manner described in this Section 4.5 or, with respect to the Series A Preferred Units, subject to 5.14(b)(viii). The transfer of any Limited Partner Interests and the admission of any new Limited Partner shall not constitute an amendment to this Agreement.

(d) Until admitted as a Substituted Limited Partner pursuant to Section 10.2, the Record Holder of a Limited Partner Interest shall be an Assignee in respect of such Limited Partner Interest. Limited Partners may include custodians, nominees or any other individual or entity in its own or any representative capacity.

(e) [Reserved]

(f) The General Partner and its Affiliates shall have the right at any time to transfer their Common Units to one or more Persons.

Section 4.6 Transfer of the General Partner’s General Partner Interest .

(a) Subject to Section 4.6(b), the General Partner may transfer all or any part of its General Partner Interest without Unitholder approval.

(b) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no transfer by the General Partner of all or any part of its General Partner Interest to another Person shall be permitted unless (i) the transferee agrees to assume the rights and duties of the General Partner under this Agreement and to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement, (ii) the Partnership receives an Opinion of Counsel that such transfer would not result in the loss of limited liability of any Limited Partner or of any limited partner of the Operating Partnerships or cause the Partnership or the Operating Partnerships to be treated as an association taxable as a corporation or otherwise to be taxed as an entity for federal income tax purposes (to the extent not already so treated or taxed) and (iii) such transferee also agrees to purchase all (or the appropriate portion thereof, if applicable) of the partnership interest of the General Partner as the general partner or managing member of each other Group Member, if applicable. In the case of a transfer pursuant to and in compliance with this Section 4.6, the transferee or successor (as the case may be) shall, subject to compliance with the terms of Section 10.3, be admitted to the Partnership as a General Partner immediately prior to the transfer of the Partnership Interest, and the business of the Partnership shall continue without dissolution.

Section 4.7 [Reserved]

Section 4.8 Restrictions on Transfers .

(a) Except as provided in Section 4.8(c) below, but notwithstanding the other provisions of this Article IV, no transfer of any Partnership Interests shall be made if such transfer would (i) violate the then applicable federal or state securities laws or rules and regulations of the Commission, any state securities commission or any other governmental authority with jurisdiction over such transfer, (ii) terminate the existence or qualification of the Partnership or either Operating Partnership under the laws of the jurisdiction of its formation, or (iii) cause the Partnership or either Operating Partnership to be treated as an association taxable as a corporation or otherwise to be taxed as an entity for federal income tax purposes (to the extent not already so treated or taxed).

(b) The General Partner may impose restrictions on the transfer of Partnership Interests if a subsequent Opinion of Counsel determines that such restrictions are necessary to avoid a significant risk of the Partnership becoming taxable as a corporation or otherwise to be taxed as an entity for federal income tax purposes. The restrictions may be imposed by making such amendments to this Agreement as the General Partner may determine to be necessary or appropriate to impose such restrictions; provided, however, that any amendment that the General Partner believes, in the exercise of its reasonable discretion, could result in the delisting or suspension of trading of any class of Limited Partner Interests on the principal National Securities Exchange on which such class of Limited Partner Interests is then traded must be approved, prior to such amendment being effected, by the holders of at least a majority of the Outstanding Limited Partner Interests of such class.

(c) Nothing contained in this Article IV, or elsewhere in this Agreement, shall preclude the settlement of any transactions involving Partnership Interests entered into through the facilities of any National Securities Exchange on which such Partnership Interests are listed for trading.

Section 4.9 Citizenship Certificates; Non-citizen Assignees .

(a) If any Group Member is or becomes subject to any federal, state or local law or regulation that, in the reasonable determination of the General Partner, creates a substantial risk of cancellation or forfeiture of any property in which the Group Member has an interest based on the nationality, citizenship or other related status of a Limited Partner or Assignee, the General Partner may request any Limited Partner or Assignee to furnish to the General Partner, within 30 days after receipt of such request, an executed Citizenship Certification or such other information concerning his nationality, citizenship or other related status (or, if the Limited Partner or Assignee is a nominee holding for the account of another Person, the nationality, citizenship or other related status of such Person) as the General Partner may request. If a Limited Partner or Assignee fails to furnish to the General Partner within the aforementioned 30-day period such Citizenship Certification or other requested information or if upon receipt of such Citizenship Certification or other requested information the General Partner determines, with the advice of counsel, that a Limited Partner or Assignee is not an Eligible Citizen, the Partnership Interests owned by such Limited Partner or Assignee shall be subject to

redemption in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.10. In addition, the General Partner may require that the status of any such Partner or Assignee be changed to that of a Non-citizen Assignee and, thereupon, the General Partner shall be substituted for such Non-citizen Assignee as the Limited Partner in respect of his Limited Partner Interests.

(b) The General Partner shall, in exercising voting rights in respect of Limited Partner Interests held by it on behalf of Non-citizen Assignees, distribute the votes in the same ratios as the votes of Partners (including without limitation the General Partner) in respect of Limited Partner Interests other than those of Non-citizen Assignees are cast, either for, against or abstaining as to the matter.

(c) Upon dissolution of the Partnership, a Non-citizen Assignee shall have no right to receive a distribution in kind pursuant to Section 12.4 but shall be entitled to the cash equivalent thereof, and the Partnership shall provide cash in exchange for an assignment of the Non-citizen Assignee’s share of the distribution in kind. Such payment and assignment shall be treated for Partnership purposes as a purchase by the Partnership from the Non-citizen Assignee of his Limited Partner Interest (representing his right to receive his share of such distribution in kind).

(d) At any time after a Non-citizen Assignee can and does certify that such Non-citizen Assignee has become an Eligible Citizen, such Non-citizen Assignee may, upon application to the General Partner, request admission as a Substituted Limited Partner with respect to any Limited Partner Interests of such Non-citizen Assignee not redeemed pursuant to Section 4.10 and upon such Non-Citizen Assignees admission pursuant to Section 10.2, the General Partner shall cease to be deemed to be the Limited Partner in respect of the Non-citizen Assignee’s Limited Partner Interests.

Section 4.10 Redemption of Partnership Interests of Non-citizen Assignees .

(a) If at any time a Limited Partner or Assignee fails to furnish a Citizenship Certification or other information requested within the 30-day period specified in Section 4.9(a), or if upon receipt of such Citizenship Certification or other information the General Partner determines, with the advice of counsel, that a Limited Partner or Assignee is not an Eligible Citizen, the Partnership may, unless the Limited Partner or Assignee establishes to the satisfaction of the General Partner that such Limited Partner or Assignee is an Eligible Citizen or has transferred his Partnership Interests to a Person who is an Eligible Citizen and who furnishes a Citizenship Certification to the General Partner prior to the date fixed for redemption as provided below, redeem the Partnership Interest of such Limited Partner or Assignee as follows:

(i) The General Partner shall, not later than the 30th day before the date fixed for redemption, give notice of redemption to the Limited Partner or Assignee, at his last address designated on the records of the Partnership or the Transfer Agent, by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid. The notice shall be deemed to have been given when so mailed. The notice shall specify the Redeemable Interests, the date fixed for redemption, the place of payment, that payment of the redemption price will be made upon surrender of the Certificate evidencing the Redeemable Interests or other evidence of the issuance of

uncertificated Units and that on and after the date fixed for redemption no further allocations or distributions to which the Limited Partner or Assignee would otherwise be entitled in respect of the Redeemable Interests will accrue or be made.

(iii) Upon surrender by or on behalf of the Limited Partner or Assignee, at the place specified in the notice of redemption, of the Certificate evidencing the Redeemable Interests, duly endorsed in blank or accompanied by an assignment duly executed in blank, or other evidence of the issuance of uncertificated Units, the Limited Partner or Assignee or his duly authorized representative shall be entitled to receive the payment therefor.

(iv) After the redemption date, Redeemable Interests shall no longer constitute issued and Outstanding Limited Partner Interests.

(b) The provisions of this Section 4.10 shall also be applicable to Limited Partner Interests held by a Limited Partner or Assignee as nominee of a Person determined to be other than an Eligible Citizen.

(c) Nothing in this Section 4.10 shall prevent the recipient of a notice of redemption from transferring his Limited Partner Interest before the redemption date if such transfer is otherwise permitted under this Agreement. Upon receipt of notice of such a transfer, the General Partner shall withdraw the notice of redemption, provided the transferee of such Limited Partner Interest certifies to the satisfaction of the General Partner in a Citizenship Certification that he is an Eligible Citizen. If the transferee fails to make such certification, such redemption shall be effected from the transferee on the original redemption date.

ARTICLE V
CAPITAL CONTRIBUTIONS AND ISSUANCE OF PARTNERSHIP INTERESTS

Section 5.1 Conversion of the General Partner Interest and Repurchase of Incentive Distribution Rights.

(a) Pursuant to this Agreement and the Simplification Agreement, the General Partner Interest (as defined in the Fifth A&R LP Agreement) in the Partnership that existed immediately prior to the execution of this Agreement is hereby converted into a non-economic general partner interest in the Partnership. As of the execution of this Agreement, PAA GP LLC

hereby continues as general partner of the Partnership and holds the General Partner Interest and the Partnership is hereby continued without dissolution.

(b) Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement and pursuant to this Agreement and the Simplification Agreement, all outstanding Incentive Distribution Rights (as defined in the Fifth A&R LP Agreement) are being redeemed by the Partnership and such Incentive Distribution Rights are hereby cancelled.

(c) Pursuant to the Simplification Agreement, the Partnership (i) has issued 244,707,926 Common Units to Plains AAP on the date hereof and (ii) will, from time to time, issue a number of Common Units to Plains AAP as required by Section 2.5(a) of the Simplification Agreement pursuant to Section 4.2(c)(i) of the Omnibus Agreement, which issuances are hereby ratified and approved.

Section 5.2 Contributions by the General Partner.

Except as set forth in Article XII, the General Partner shall not be obligated to make any additional Capital Contributions to the Partnership.

Section 5.3 [Reserved]

Section 5.4 Interest and Withdrawal .

No interest shall be paid by the Partnership on Capital Contributions. No Partner or Assignee shall be entitled to the withdrawal or return of its Capital Contribution, except to the extent, if any, that distributions made pursuant to this Agreement or upon termination of the Partnership may be considered as such by law and then only to the extent provided for in this Agreement. Except to the extent expressly provided in this Agreement, no Partner or Assignee shall have priority over any other Partner or Assignee either as to the return of Capital Contributions or as to profits, losses or distributions. Any such return shall be a compromise to which all Partners and Assignees agree within the meaning of 17-502(b) of the Delaware Act.

Section 5.5 Capital Accounts .

(a) The Partnership shall maintain for each Partner (or a beneficial owner of Partnership Interests held by a nominee in any case in which the nominee has furnished the identity of such owner to the Partnership in accordance with Section 6031(c) of the Code or any other method acceptable to the General Partner in its sole discretion) owning a Partnership Interest a separate Capital Account with respect to such Partnership Interest in accordance with the rules of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv). Such Capital Account shall be increased by (i) the amount of all Capital Contributions made to the Partnership with respect to such Partnership Interest pursuant to this Agreement and (ii) all items of Partnership income and gain (including, without limitation, income and gain exempt from tax) computed in accordance with Section 5.5(b) and allocated with respect to such Partnership Interest pursuant to Section 6.1, and decreased by (x) the amount of cash or Net Agreed Value of all actual and deemed distributions of cash or property made with respect to such Partnership Interest pursuant to this Agreement and (y) all items of Partnership deduction and loss computed in accordance with Section 5.5(b) and allocated with respect to such Partnership Interest pursuant to Section 6.1. For

the avoidance of doubt, the Series A Preferred Units will be treated as a partnership interest in the Partnership that is “convertible equity” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.721-2(g)(3), and, therefore, each holder of a Series A Preferred Unit will be treated as a partner in the Partnership. The initial Capital Account balance in respect of each Series A Preferred Unit shall be the Series A Issue Price, as such amount may be adjusted in accordance with the Series A Purchase Agreement for any reduction attributable to the Transaction Fee, as such term is defined in the Series A Purchase Agreement and expenses reimbursable under the Series A Purchase Agreement. The Capital Account balance of each holder of Series A Preferred Units in respect of its Series A Preferred Units shall not be increased or decreased as a result of the accrual and accumulation of an unpaid distribution pursuant to Section 5.14(b)(i)(B) or Section 5.14(b)(i)(C) in respect of such Series A Preferred Units except as otherwise provided in this Agreement.

(b) For purposes of computing the amount of any item of income, gain, loss or deduction which is to be allocated pursuant to Article VI and is to be reflected in the Partners’ Capital Accounts, the determination, recognition and classification of any such item shall be the same as its determination, recognition and classification for federal income tax purposes (including, without limitation, any method of depreciation, cost recovery or amortization used for that purpose), provided, that:

(i) Solely for purposes of this Section 5.5, the Partnership shall be treated as owning directly its proportionate share (as determined by the General Partner based upon the provisions of the Operating Partnership Agreements) of all property owned by the Operating Partnerships or any other Subsidiary that is classified as a partnership for federal income tax purposes.

(ii) All fees and other expenses incurred by the Partnership to promote the sale of (or to sell) a Partnership Interest that can neither be deducted nor amortized under Section 709 of the Code, if any, shall, for purposes of Capital Account maintenance, be treated as an item of deduction at the time such fees and other expenses are incurred and shall be allocated among the Partners pursuant to Section 6.1.

(iii) Except as otherwise provided in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m), the computation of all items of income, gain, loss and deduction shall be made without regard to any election under Section 754 of the Code which may be made by the Partnership and, as to those items described in Section 705(a)(1)(B) or 705(a)(2)(B) of the Code, without regard to the fact that such items are not includable in gross income or are neither currently deductible nor capitalized for federal income tax purposes. To the extent an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any Partnership asset pursuant to Section 734(b) or 743(b) of the Code is required, pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m), to be taken into account in determining Capital Accounts, the amount of such adjustment in the Capital Accounts shall be treated as an item of gain or loss.

(iv) Any income, gain or loss attributable to the taxable disposition of any Partnership property shall be determined as if the adjusted basis of such property as of such date of disposition were equal in amount to the Partnership’s Carrying Value with respect to such property as of such date.

(v) In accordance with the requirements of Section 704(b) of the Code, any deductions for depreciation, cost recovery or amortization attributable to any Contributed Property shall be determined as if the adjusted basis of such property on the date it was acquired by the Partnership were equal to the Agreed Value of such property. Upon an adjustment pursuant to Section 5.5(d) to the Carrying Value of any Partnership property subject to depreciation, cost recovery or amortization, any further deductions for such depreciation, cost recovery or amortization attributable to such property shall be determined (A) as if the adjusted basis of such property were equal to the Carrying Value of such property immediately following such adjustment and (B) using a rate of depreciation, cost recovery or amortization derived from the same method and useful life (or, if applicable, the remaining useful life) as is applied for federal income tax purposes; provided, however, that, if the asset has a zero adjusted basis for federal income tax purposes, depreciation, cost recovery or amortization deductions shall be determined using any reasonable method that the General Partner may adopt.

(vi) If the Partnership’s adjusted basis in a depreciable or cost recovery property is reduced for federal income tax purposes pursuant to Section 48(q)(1) or 48(q)(3) of the Code, the amount of such reduction shall, solely for purposes hereof, be deemed to be an additional depreciation or cost recovery deduction in the year such property is placed in service and shall be allocated among the Partners pursuant to Section 6.1. Any restoration of such basis pursuant to Section 48(q)(2) of the Code shall, to the extent possible, be allocated in the same manner to the Partners to whom such deemed deduction was allocated.

(c) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 5.5(c), a transferee of a Partnership Interest shall succeed to a pro rata portion of the Capital Account of the transferor relating to the Partnership Interest so transferred. Immediately prior to the transfer of an AAP Common Unit (other than a transfer to an Affiliate unless the General Partner elects to have this subparagraph 5.5(c) apply), the Capital Account maintained for such AAP Common Unit will (A) first, be allocated to the Units to be transferred in an amount equal to the product of (x) the number of such Units to be transferred and (y) the Per Unit Capital Amount for an Initial Common Unit, and (B) second, any remaining balance in such Capital Account will be retained by the transferor, regardless of whether it has retained any Units. Following any such allocation, the transferor’s Capital Account, if any, maintained with respect to the retained AAP Common Units, if any, will have a balance equal to the amount allocated under clause (B) above, and the transferee’s Capital Account established with respect to the transferred Units will have a balance equal to the amount allocated under clause (A) above.

(d)

(i) In accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f), on an issuance of additional Partnership Interests for cash or Contributed Property (including a deemed issuance of Series A Preferred Units for cash pursuant to Section 5.14(b)(i)(F)), the PAA/AAP Interest Restructuring (as such term is defined in the Simplification Agreement) or the conversion of the Combined Interest to Common Units pursuant to Section 11.3(b), the Capital Accounts of all Partners and the Carrying Value of each Partnership property immediately prior to such issuance shall be adjusted upward or downward to reflect any Unrealized Gain or Unrealized Loss attributable to such Partnership property, as if such Unrealized Gain or Unrealized Loss had been recognized on an actual sale of each such property for an amount equal to its fair market value immediately prior to such issuance. In determining such Unrealized Gain or Unrealized Loss, the aggregate cash amount and fair market value of all Partnership assets (including, without limitation, cash or cash equivalents) immediately prior to the issuance of additional Partnership Interests shall be determined by the General Partner using such reasonable method of valuation as it may adopt; provided, however, that the General Partner, in arriving at such valuation, must take fully into account the fair market value of the Partnership Interests of all Partners at such time and make any adjustments necessary to reflect the difference, if any, between the fair market value of any Series A Preferred Units for which the Conversion Date has not occurred and the aggregate Capital Accounts attributable to such Series A Preferred Units to the extent of any Unrealized Gain or Unrealized Loss that has not been reflected in the Partners’ Capital Accounts previously, consistent with the methodology of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(h)(2). The General Partner shall allocate such aggregate value among the assets of the Partnership (in such manner as it determines in its discretion to be reasonable) to arrive at a fair market value for individual properties.

(ii) In accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f), immediately prior to any actual or deemed distribution to a Partner of any Partnership property (other than a distribution of cash that is not in redemption or retirement of a Partnership Interest), the Capital Accounts of all Partners and the Carrying Value of each Partnership property shall be adjusted upward or downward to reflect any Unrealized Gain or Unrealized Loss attributable to such Partnership property, as if such Unrealized Gain or Unrealized Loss had been recognized on an actual sale of each such property immediately prior to such distribution for an amount equal to its fair market value. In determining such Unrealized Gain or Unrealized Loss the aggregate cash amount and fair market value of all Partnership assets (including, without limitation, cash or cash equivalents) immediately prior to a distribution shall (A) in the case of an actual distribution which is not made pursuant to Section 12.4 or in the case of a deemed contribution and/or distribution occurring as a result of a termination of the Partnership pursuant to Section 708 of the Code, be determined and allocated in the same manner as that provided in Section 5.5(d)(i) or (B) in the case of a liquidating distribution pursuant to Section 12.4, be determined and allocated by the Liquidator using such reasonable method of valuation as it may adopt.

(iii) In accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(s), immediately after the conversion of a Series A Preferred Unit into Common Units in accordance with Section 5.14(b)(vi), the Capital Account of each Partner and the Carrying Value of each Partnership property shall be adjusted to reflect any Unrealized Gain or Unrealized Loss attributable to such Partnership property, as if such Unrealized Gain or Unrealized Loss had been recognized on an actual sale of each such property for an amount equal to its fair market value immediately after such conversion and (A) first, all Unrealized Gain (if the Capital Account of each such Series A Conversion Unit is less than the Per Unit Capital Account for a then Outstanding Initial Common Unit) or Unrealized Loss (if the Capital Account of each such Series A Conversion Unit is greater than the Per Unit Capital Account for a then Outstanding Initial Common Unit) had been allocated Pro Rata to each Partner holding Series A Conversion Units received upon such conversion until the Capital Account of each such Series A Conversion Unit is equal to the Per Unit Capital Amount for a then Outstanding Initial Common Unit; and (B) second, any remaining Unrealized Gain or Unrealized Loss had been allocated to the Partners at such time pursuant to Section 6.1(d). In determining such Unrealized Gain or Unrealized Loss, the aggregate cash amount and fair market value of all Partnership assets (including, without limitation, cash or cash equivalents) immediately after the conversion of a Series A Preferred Unit shall be determined by the General Partner using such reasonable method of valuation as it may adopt; provided , however , that the General Partner, in arriving at such valuation, must take fully into account the fair market value of the Partnership Interests of all Partners at such time and must make such adjustments to such valuation as required by Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(h)(2). The General Partner shall allocate such aggregate value among the assets of the Partnership in such manner as it determines in its discretion to be reasonable. If, after making the allocations of Unrealized Gain and Unrealized Loss as set forth above in this Section 5.5(d)(iii), the Capital Account of each Partner with respect to each Series A Conversion Unit received upon such conversion of the Series A Preferred Unit is less than the Per Unit Capital Amount for a then Outstanding Initial Common Unit, then Capital Account balances shall be reallocated between the Partners holding Common Units (other than Series A Conversion Units) and Partners holding Series A Conversion Units so as to cause the Capital Account of each Partner holding a Series A Conversion Unit to equal, on a per Unit basis with respect to each such Series A Conversion Unit, the Per Unit Capital Amount for a then Outstanding Initial Common Unit.

Section 5.6 Issuances of Additional Partnership Securities .

(a) Subject to Section 5.6(d) below and subject to any approvals required by Section 5.14(b)(iv), the Partnership may issue additional Partnership Securities and options, rights, warrants and appreciation rights relating to the Partnership Securities for any Partnership purpose at any time and from time to time to such Persons for such consideration and on such terms and conditions as shall be established by the General Partner in its sole discretion, all without the approval of any Limited Partners.

(b) Each additional Partnership Security authorized to be issued by the Partnership pursuant to Section 5.6(a) may be issued in one or more classes, or one or more series of any such classes, with such designations, preferences, rights, powers and duties (which may be senior to existing classes and series of Partnership Securities), as shall be fixed by the General Partner in the exercise of its sole discretion, including (i) the right to share Partnership profits and losses or items thereof; (ii) the right to share in Partnership distributions; (iii) the rights upon dissolution and liquidation of the Partnership; (iv) whether, and the terms and conditions upon which, the Partnership may redeem the Partnership Security; (v) whether such Partnership Security is issued with the privilege of conversion or exchange and, if so, the terms and conditions of such conversion or exchange; (vi) the terms and conditions upon which each Partnership Security will be issued, evidenced by certificates and assigned or transferred; and (vii) the right, if any, of each such Partnership Security to vote on Partnership matters, including matters relating to the relative rights, preferences and privileges of such Partnership Security.

(c) The General Partner is hereby authorized and directed to take all actions that it deems necessary or appropriate in connection with (i) each issuance of Partnership Securities and options, rights, warrants and appreciation rights relating to Partnership Securities pursuant to this Section 5.6, (ii) the conversion of the Combined Interest into Units pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, (iii) the admission of Additional Limited Partners and (iv) all additional issuances of Partnership Securities. The General Partner is further authorized and directed to specify the relative rights, powers and duties of the holders of the Units or other Partnership Securities being so issued. The General Partner shall do all things necessary to comply with the Delaware Act and is authorized and directed to do all things it deems to be necessary or advisable in connection with any future issuance of Partnership Securities or in connection with the conversion of the Combined Interest into Units pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including compliance with any statute, rule, regulation or guideline of any federal, state or other governmental agency or any National Securities Exchange on which the Units or other Partnership Securities are listed for trading.

(d) No fractional Units shall be issued by the Partnership.

Section 5.7 [Reserved]

Section 5.8 [Reserved]

Section 5.9 No Preemptive Right .

No Person shall have any preemptive, preferential or other similar right with respect to the issuance of any Partnership Security, whether unissued, held in the treasury or hereafter created.

Section 5.10 Splits and Combinations .

(a) Subject to Sections 5.10(d) and 5.14(b)(vi)(E), the Partnership may make a Pro Rata distribution of Partnership Securities to all Record Holders or may effect a subdivision or combination of Partnership Securities so long as, after any such event, each Partner shall have the same Percentage Interest in the Partnership as before such event, and any amounts calculated on a per Unit basis or stated as a number of Units (including the number of

additional Parity Units that may be issued pursuant to Section 5.6(d) without a Unitholder vote) are proportionately adjusted retroactive to the beginning of the Partnership.

(b) Whenever such a distribution, subdivision or combination of Partnership Securities is declared, the General Partner shall select a Record Date as of which the distribution, subdivision or combination shall be effective and shall send notice thereof at least 20 days prior to such Record Date to each Record Holder as of a date not more than 10 days prior to the date of such notice. The General Partner also may cause a firm of independent public accountants selected by it to calculate the number of Partnership Securities to be held by each Record Holder after giving effect to such distribution, subdivision or combination. The General Partner shall be entitled to rely on any certificate provided by such firm as conclusive evidence of the accuracy of such calculation.

(c) Promptly following any such distribution, subdivision or combination, the Partnership may issue Certificates, or other evidence of the issuance of uncertificated Units, to the Record Holders of Partnership Securities as of the applicable Record Date representing the new number of Partnership Securities held by such Record Holders, or the General Partner may adopt such other procedures as it may deem appropriate to reflect such changes. If any such combination results in a smaller total number of Partnership Securities Outstanding, the Partnership shall require, as a condition to the delivery to a Record Holder of such new Certificate, or other evidence of the issuance of uncertificated Units, the surrender of any Certificate, or other evidence of the issuance of uncertificated Units, held by such Record Holder immediately prior to such Record Date.

(d) The Partnership shall not issue fractional Units upon any distribution, subdivision or combination of Units. If a distribution, subdivision or combination of Units would result in the issuance of fractional Units but for the provisions of Section 5.6(d) and this Section 5.10(d), each fractional Unit shall be rounded to the nearest whole Unit (and a 0.5 Unit shall be rounded to the next higher Unit).

Section 5.11 Fully Paid and Non-Assessable Nature of Limited Partner Interests .

All Limited Partner Interests issued pursuant to, and in accordance with the requirements of, this Article V shall be fully paid and non-assessable Limited Partner Interests in the Partnership, except as such non-assessability may be affected by Section 17-607 of the Delaware Act.

Section 5.12 [Reserved]

Section 5.13 [Reserved]

Section 5.14 Establishment of Series A Preferred Units.

(a) General . The Partnership hereby designates and creates a series of Units to be designated as “Series A Convertible Preferred Units” (such Series A Convertible Preferred Units, together with any Series A PIK Units, the “ Series A Preferred Units ”), having the same rights, preferences and privileges, and subject to the same duties and obligations, as the Common Units, except as set forth in this Section 5.14 and in Sections 5.5, 6.1 and 12.4. However, in the

event of any conflict between the rights, preferences, privileges, duties and obligations of the Common Units as generally set forth in this Agreement and the provisions of this Section 5.14 and Sections 5.5, 6.1 and 12.4 that specifically set forth the rights, preferences, privileges, duties and obligations of the Series A Preferred Units, such specific provisions shall control.

(b) Rights of Series A Preferred Units . The Series A Preferred Units shall have the following rights, preferences and privileges and the Series A Preferred Unitholders shall be subject to the following duties and obligations:

(i) Distributions .

(A) Commencing with the Quarter ending on March 31, 2016, the holders of the Series A Preferred Units as of an applicable Record Date shall be entitled to receive cumulative distributions (each, a “ Series A Quarterly Distribution ”), prior to any other distributions made in respect of any other Partnership Interests pursuant to Section 6.3, in the amount set forth in this Section 5.14(b)(i)(A) in respect of each Outstanding Series A Preferred Unit. With respect to any Quarter (or portion thereof for which a Series A Quarterly Distribution is due) ending on or prior to December 31, 2017 (the “ Initial Distribution Period ”), such Series A Quarterly Distribution may be paid, in the sole discretion of the General Partner, in Series A PIK Units, in cash, or in a combination of Series A PIK Units and cash. For any Quarter ending after the Initial Distribution Period, all Series A Quarterly Distributions shall be paid in cash. The Series A Distribution Amount for the Quarter ending March 31, 2016 shall be prorated for the period commencing on the Series A Issuance Date and ending on, and including, March 31, 2016. If during the Initial Distribution Period the General Partner elects to pay all or any portion of a Series A Quarterly Distribution in Series A PIK Units, the number of Series A PIK Units to be issued in connection with such Series A Quarterly Distribution shall equal the quotient of (A) the applicable Series A Distribution Amount (or portion thereof to be paid in Series A PIK Units) divided by (B) the Series A Issue Price; provided that instead of issuing any fractional Series A PIK Unit, the Partnership shall round the number of Series A PIK Units issued to each Series A Preferred Unitholder down to the nearest whole Series A PIK Unit and pay cash in lieu of any resulting fractional unit (with the amount of such cash payment being based on the value of such fractional Series A PIK Unit, which shall in turn be based on the value of a comparable fraction of the number of Series A Conversion Units into which such Series A PIK Unit would be convertible at the applicable Series A Conversion Rate on the Record Date for such Series A Quarterly Distribution). All such distributions shall be paid quarterly within forty-five (45) days after the end of each Quarter. The Series A Quarterly Distribution on each Outstanding Series A Preferred Unit shall be equal to the sum of (i) the Series A Distribution Amount, and (ii) any unpaid Series A Unpaid Cash Distributions. If the Partnership establishes a Record Date for any distribution to be made by

the Partnership on other Partnership Interests pursuant to Section 6.3 in respect of any Quarter, then the Record Date established pursuant to this Section 5.14(b)(i) for a Series A Quarterly Distribution in respect of such Quarter shall be the same Record Date. Unless otherwise expressly provided, references in this Agreement to Series A Preferred Units shall include all Series A PIK Units Outstanding as of any date of such determination.

(B) If the Partnership fails to pay in full the Series A Distribution Amount of any Series A Quarterly Distribution in cash or Series A PIK Units when due for any Quarter during the Initial Distribution Period, then the holders entitled to such unpaid Series A Quarterly Distribution shall be entitled to (I) receive such Series A Quarterly Distribution in Series A PIK Units, (II) receive Series A Quarterly Distributions in subsequent Quarters on such unpaid Series A PIK Units, (III) receive the liquidation preference in accordance with Section 5.14(b)(xiii) in respect of such unpaid Series A PIK Units, and (IV) all other rights under this Agreement as if such unpaid Series A PIK Units had in fact been distributed on the date due. If the Partnership fails to pay in full the Series A Distribution Amount of any Series A Quarterly Distribution in cash when due for any Quarter following the Initial Distribution Period, then from and after the first date of such failure and continuing until such failure is cured by payment in full in cash of all such arrearages, (y) the amount of such unpaid cash distributions (“ Series A Unpaid Cash Distributions ”) unless and until paid will accrue and accumulate from and including the first day of the Quarter immediately following the Quarter in respect of which such payment is due until paid in full and (z) the Partnership shall not be permitted to, and shall not, declare or make any distributions in respect of any Junior Interests (including, for the avoidance of doubt, with respect to the Quarter for which the Partnership first failed to pay in full the Series A Distribution Amount of any Series A Quarterly Distribution in cash when due).

(C) The aggregate Series A Distribution Amount (excluding any portion paid in kind) to be so distributed in respect of the Series A Preferred Units Outstanding as of the Record Date for a Series A Quarterly Distribution shall be paid out of Available Cash with respect to the applicable Quarter that is deemed to be Operating Surplus prior to making any distribution pursuant to Section 6.3. To the extent that any portion of a Series A Quarterly Distribution to be paid in cash with respect to any Quarter exceeds the amount of Available Cash for such Quarter, an amount of cash equal to the Available Cash for such Quarter will be paid to the Series A Preferred Unitholders Pro Rata and the balance of such Series A Quarterly Distribution shall be unpaid and shall constitute an arrearage and shall accrue and accumulate as set forth in Section 5.14(b)(i)(B).

(D) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 5.14(b)(i) to the contrary, with respect to any Series A Preferred Unit that is converted into a Common Unit, the holder thereof shall not be entitled to a distribution in respect of such Series A Preferred Unit and a distribution in respect of such Common Unit with respect to the same period, but shall be entitled only to the distribution to be paid based upon the class of Units held as of the close of business on the applicable Record Date. For the avoidance of doubt, if a Series A Conversion Date occurs prior to the close of business on a Record Date for payment of a distribution on the Common Units, the applicable holder of Series A Preferred Units shall receive, with respect to any Series A Preferred Units that have converted into Common Units, only the distribution in respect of such Common Units with respect to such period.

(E) When any Series A PIK Units are payable to a Series A Preferred Unitholder pursuant to this Section 5.14, the Partnership shall issue the Series A PIK Units to such holder in accordance with Section 5.14(b)(i)(A) (the date of issuance of such Series A PIK Units, the “ Series A PIK Payment Date ”). On the Series A PIK Payment Date, the Partnership shall have the option to (i) issue to such Series A Preferred Unitholder a certificate or certificates for the number of Series A PIK Units to which such Series A Preferred Unitholder shall be entitled, or (ii) make a notation in book entry form in the books of the Partnership, and all such Series A PIK Units shall, when so issued, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable Limited Partner Interests, except as such non-assessability may be affected by Section 17-607 or 17-804 of the Delaware Act, and shall be free from preemptive rights and free of any lien, claim, rights or encumbrances, other than those arising under the Delaware Act or this Agreement.

(F) For purposes of maintaining Capital Accounts, if the Partnership issues one or more Series A PIK Units with respect to a Series A Preferred Unit, (i) the Partnership shall be treated as distributing cash with respect to such Series A Preferred Unit until the amount distributed with respect to such Series A Preferred Unit is equal to portion of the Series A Distribution Amount paid in Series A PIK Units, and (ii) the holder of such Series A Preferred Unit shall be treated as having contributed to the Partnership in exchange for such newly issued Series A PIK Units an amount of cash equal to the portion of the Series A Distribution Amount paid in Series A PIK Units less the amount of any cash distributed by the Partnership in lieu of fractional Series A PIK Units.

(ii) Issuance of the Series A Preferred Units. The Series A Preferred Units (other than the Series A PIK Units) shall be issued by the Partnership pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Series A Purchase Agreement.

(iii) Voting Rights .

(A) Except as provided in Section 5.14(b)(iii)(B) below, the Outstanding Series A Preferred Units shall have voting rights that are identical to the voting rights of the Common Units and shall vote with the Common Units as a single class, so that each Outstanding Series A Preferred Unit will be entitled to one vote for each Common Unit into which such Series A Preferred Unit is then convertible at the then applicable Series A Conversion Rate (or, if the Series A Preferred Units are not then convertible, assuming that such Series A Preferred Units are convertible at the then applicable Series A Conversion Rate) on each matter with respect to which each Common Unit is entitled to vote. Each reference in this Agreement to a vote of Record Holders of Common Units shall be deemed to be a reference to the holders of Common Units and Series A Preferred Units on an “as if” converted basis, and the definition of “Unit Majority” shall correspondingly be construed to mean at least a majority of the Common Units and the Series A Preferred Units, on an “as if” converted basis, voting together as a single class during any period in which any Series A Preferred Units are Outstanding.

(B) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in addition to all other requirements imposed by Delaware law, and all other voting rights granted under this Agreement, the affirmative vote of the Record Holders of the Series A Required Voting Percentage, shall be required for any amendment (excluding any amendment of a ministerial or administrative nature) to this Agreement or the Certificate of Limited Partnership (including by merger or otherwise) that is adverse to any of the rights, preferences and privileges of the Series A Preferred Units. Without limiting the generality of the preceding sentence, any action shall be deemed to adversely affect the holders of the Series A Preferred Units if such action would:

(1) reduce the Series A Distribution Amount, change the form of payment of distributions on the Series A Preferred Units (other than as contemplated herein), defer the date from which distributions on the Series A Preferred Units will accrue, cancel accrued and unpaid distributions on the Series A Preferred Units or any interest accrued thereon (including any accrued Series A Unpaid Cash Distributions or Series A PIK Units), or change the seniority rights of the Series A Preferred Unitholders as to the payment of distributions in relation to the Unitholders of any other class or series of Units;

(2) reduce the amount payable or change the form of payment to the holders of the Series A Preferred Units upon the voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up, or sale of all or substantially all of the assets, of the Partnership, or change the seniority of the liquidation preferences of the holders of

the Series A Preferred Units in relation to the rights upon liquidation of the holders of any other class or series of Units; or

(3) make the Series A Preferred Units redeemable or convertible at the option of the Partnership other than as set forth herein.

(C) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.14(b)(iii), except as contemplated by Section 5.14(b)(iii)(A), in no event shall the consent of the Series A Preferred Unitholders, as a separate class, be required in connection with any Partnership Restructuring Event. For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing shall not limit the voting rights of any Series A Preferred Unitholder in connection with the vote of holders of Common Units and Series A Preferred Units together as a single class.

(D) Upon the occurrence of a Series A Trigger Event, the General Partner shall notify the Series A Preferred Unitholders of the occurrence thereof, whereupon the Series A Preferred Unitholders, acting as a group and by majority vote of the Outstanding Series A Preferred Units, shall have the right, exercisable by the delivery of written notice delivered to the General Partner no later than 15 Business Days’ following the date of the General Partner’s notice to the Series A Preferred Unitholders, to appoint one representative to the Board of Directors in accordance with the PAGP GP LLC Agreement subject to the limitations and procedures set forth in the PAGP GP LLC Agreement; provided , upon payment of all Series A Unpaid Cash Distributions, any such representative shall tender his resignation from the Board of Directors immediately upon the request of the Board of Directors and the appointment right contemplated by this Section 5.14(b)(iii)(D) shall cease unless and until a subsequent Series A Trigger Event occurs.

(E) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in addition to all other voting rights granted under this Agreement, the Partnership shall not declare or pay any distribution from Capital Surplus without the affirmative vote of the Record Holders of the Series A Required Voting Percentage.

(iv) No Series A Senior Securities; Series A Parity Securities . Other than issuances contemplated by the Series A Purchase Agreement, the Partnership shall not, without the affirmative vote of the Series A Required Voting Percentage, issue any (A) Series A Senior Securities (or amend the provisions of any class of Partnership Securities to make such class of Partnership Securities a class of Series A Senior Securities) or (B) Series A Parity Securities (or amend the provisions of any class of Partnership Securities to make such class of Partnership Securities a class of Series A Parity Securities); provided that, without the consent of the holders of Outstanding Series A Preferred Units, the Partnership may issue (1) up to an aggregate $500,000,000 of non-convertible

Series A Parity Securities, (2) so long as the aggregate value of the Outstanding Common Units (based on the closing trading price of Common Units on the National Securities Exchange on which the Common Units are then listed or admitted to trading on the trading day immediately preceding such date of issuance) is at least $10,000,000,000, a number of Series A Parity Securities such that, as of the date of the issuance of the Series A Parity Securities, the aggregate number of Series A Parity Securities, together with the Series A Preferred Units, in each case on an “as if” converted basis (or, if the Series A Parity Securities are not convertible, assuming that such Series A Parity Securities are convertible into a number of Common Units equal to the quotient of (i) the aggregate purchase price for such Series A Parity Securities, divided by (ii) the volume-weighted average price of the Common Units for the thirty (30) Trading Day period ending immediately prior to such issuance (such Common Units, the “ Series A Parity Equivalent Units ”)), equals no more than 15% of all Outstanding Common Units (including as Outstanding for such purposes, (i) any Common Units issuable in respect of the Series A Preferred Units at the then applicable Series A Conversion Rate (or, if the Series A Preferred Units are not then convertible, assuming that such Series A Preferred Units are convertible at the then applicable Series A Conversion Rate), (ii) any Common Units issuable in respect of Series A Parity Securities at the initial or then applicable conversion rate, as applicable, and (iii) any Series A Parity Equivalent Units), or (3) if a number of Series A Preferred Units having an aggregate Series A Issue Price of less than $500,000,000 is then Outstanding, such number of Series A Parity Securities as determined by the General Partner; provided, further, that the Partnership may, without the affirmative vote of the holders of Outstanding Series A Preferred Units, issue the Series A PIK Units contemplated by this Agreement and create (by reclassification or otherwise) and issue Junior Securities in an unlimited amount.

(v) Certificates .

(A) If requested by a Series A Preferred Unitholder, the Series A Preferred Units shall be evidenced by certificates in such form as the Board of Directors may approve and, subject to the satisfaction of any applicable legal, regulatory and contractual requirements, may be assigned or transferred in a manner identical to the assignment and transfer of other Units; unless and until the Board of Directors determines to assign the responsibility to another Person, the General Partner will act as the transfer agent for the Series A Preferred Units. Any certificates evidencing Series A Preferred Units shall be separately identified and shall not bear the same CUSIP number as any certificates evidencing Common Units.

(B) Any certificate(s) representing the Series A Preferred Units may be imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form:

“NEITHER THE OFFER NOR SALE OF THESE SECURITIES HAS BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED. THESE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE

SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED IN THE ABSENCE OF A REGISTRATION STATEMENT IN EFFECT WITH RESPECT TO THE SECURITIES UNDER SUCH ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION THEREUNDER AND, IN THE CASE OF A TRANSACTION EXEMPT FROM REGISTRATION, UNLESS SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144 UNDER SUCH ACT OR THE PARTNERSHIP HAS RECEIVED DOCUMENTATION REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO IT THAT SUCH TRANSACTION DOES NOT REQUIRE REGISTRATION UNDER SUCH ACT. THIS SECURITY IS SUBJECT TO CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER SET FORTH IN THE SIXTH AMENDED AND RESTATED LIMITED PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT OF THE PARTNERSHIP, DATED AS OF NOVEMBER 15, 2016, A COPY OF WHICH MAY BE OBTAINED FROM THE PARTNERSHIP AT ITS PRINCIPAL EXECUTIVE OFFICES.”

(vi) Conversion.

(A) At the Option of the Series A Preferred Unitholders . Beginning with the earlier of (i) the Business Day immediately following the Record Date with respect to the Quarter ending on the last day of the Initial Distribution Period, (ii) the second anniversary of the Series A Issuance Date, and (iii) immediately prior to the liquidation, dissolution and winding up of the Partnership under Section 12.4, the Series A Preferred Units owned by any Series A Preferred Unitholder shall be convertible, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time upon the request of such Series A Preferred Unitholder, but not more than once per Quarter, into a number of Common Units determined by multiplying the number of Series A Preferred Units to be converted by the Series A Conversion Rate; provided, however, that the Partnership shall not be obligated to honor any such conversion request if such conversion request does not involve an underlying value of Common Units of at least $100,000,000 based on the closing trading price of Common Units on the trading day immediately preceding the Series A Conversion Notice Date on the National Securities Exchange on which the Common Units are then listed or admitted to trading (or such lesser amount to the extent such partial exercise covers all of such Series A Preferred Unitholder’s Series A Preferred Units). Immediately upon the effectiveness of any conversion of Series A Preferred Units, all rights of the Series A Converting Unitholder in respect thereof shall cease, including, without limitation, any further accrual of distributions, and such Series A Converting Unitholder thereafter shall be treated for all purposes as the owner of Common Units. Fractional Common Units shall not be issued to any person pursuant to this Section 5.14(b)(vi)(A) (each fractional Common Unit shall be rounded down with the remainder being paid an amount in cash based on

the closing trading price of Common Units on the National Securities Exchange on which the Common Units are then listed or admitted to trading on the trading day immediately preceding such date of conversion).

(B) At the Option of the Partnership. At any time following the third anniversary of the Series A Issuance Date, the Partnership, in the General Partner’s sole discretion, shall have the option at any time, but not more than once per Quarter, to convert all or any portion of the Series A Preferred Units then Outstanding into a number of Common Units determined by multiplying the number of Series A Preferred Units to be converted by the Series A Conversion Rate. Fractional Common Units shall not be issued to any person pursuant to this Section 5.14(b)(vi)(B) (each fractional Common Unit shall be rounded down with the remainder being paid an amount in cash based on the closing trading price of Common Units on the National Securities Exchange on which the Common Units are then listed or admitted to trading on the trading day immediately preceding such date of conversion). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in order for the Partnership to exercise such option,

(1) the closing trading price of the Common Units on the National Securities Exchange on which the Common Units are then listed or admitted to trading must be greater than one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the Series A Issue Price for the twenty (20) Trading Day period immediately preceding the date the Partnership furnishes the Series A Forced Conversion Notice,

(2) the average daily trading volume of the Common Units on the National Securities Exchange on which the Common Units are then listed or admitted to trading must have exceeded 1,000,000 (as such amount may be adjusted to reflect any Unit split, combination or similar event) for the twenty (20) Trading Day period immediately preceding the date the Partnership furnishes the Series A Forced Conversion Notice;

(3) the Partnership must have an effective registration statement on file with the Commission covering resales of the underlying Common Units to be received upon any such conversion, and

(4) no Series A Trigger Event shall have occurred that is continuing;

provided , in each case, that each such conversion by the Partnership shall be for an aggregate amount of Series A Preferred Units (including any Outstanding Series A PIK Units) involving an underlying value of Common Units of at least $500,000,000 based on the closing trading price of Common Units on the trading day immediately preceding the date of such conversion on the

National Securities Exchange on which the Common Units are then listed or admitted to trading (or such lesser amount if such amount includes all then Outstanding Series A Preferred Units) and shall be allocated among the Series A Preferred Unitholders on a Pro Rata basis or on such other basis as may be agreed upon by the Series A Preferred Unitholders.

(C)

(1) Conversion Notice . To convert Series A Preferred Units into Common Units pursuant to Section 5.14(b)(vi)(A), the Series A Converting Unitholder shall give written notice (a “ Series A Conversion Notice ”) to the Partnership stating that such Series A Unitholder elects to so convert Series A Preferred Units and shall state or include therein with respect to Series A Preferred Units to be converted pursuant to Section 5.14(b)(vi)(A) the following: (a) the number of Series A Preferred Units to be converted, and (b) if a Certificate has been issued for such Series A Preferred Units, the Certificate(s) evidencing the Series A Preferred Units to be converted and duly endorsed. The date any Series A Conversion Notice is received by the Partnership shall be hereinafter be referred to as a “ Series A Conversion Notice Date .”

(2) To convert Series A Preferred Units into Common Units pursuant to Section 5.14(b)(vi)(B), the Partnership shall give written notice (a “ Series A Forced Conversion Notice ,” and the date such notice is received, a “ Series A Forced Conversion Notice Date ”) to each holder of Series A Preferred Units stating that the Partnership elects to force conversion of such Series A Preferred Units pursuant to Section 5.14(b)(vi)(B). The Series A Conversion Units shall be issued in the name of the Record Holder of such Series A Preferred Units.

(D) Timing; Certificates . If a Series A Conversion Notice is delivered by a Series A Unitholder to the Partnership in accordance with Section 5.14(b)(vi)(C) or a Series A Forced Conversion Notice is delivered by the Partnership to a Series A Unitholder pursuant to Section 5.14(b)(vi)(C), the Partnership shall issue the Series A Conversion Units no later than seven (7) days after the Series A Conversion Notice Date or the Series A Forced Conversion Notice Date, as the case may be, occurs (any date of issuance of such Common Units, a “ Series A Conversion Date ”). On the Series A Conversion Date, the Partnership shall issue to such Series A Unitholder (or designated recipient(s)) a Certificate or Certificates for the number of Series A Conversion Units to which such holder shall be entitled. In lieu of delivering physical Certificates representing the Series A Conversion Units issuable upon conversion of Series A Preferred Units, provided the Transfer Agent is participating in the Depositary’s Fast Automated Securities Transfer program, upon request of the Series A Unitholder, the Partnership shall use its

commercially reasonable efforts to cause its Transfer Agent to electronically transmit the Series A Conversion Units issuable upon conversion or distribution payment to such Series A Unitholder (or designated recipient(s)), by crediting the account of the Series A Unitholder (or designated recipient(s)) prime broker with the Depositary through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission system. The parties agree to coordinate with the Depositary to accomplish this objective. Upon issuance of Series A Conversion Units to the Series A Converting Unitholder, all rights under the converted Series A Preferred Units shall cease, and such Series A Converting Unitholder shall be treated for all purposes as the Record Holder of such Series A Conversion Units.

(E) Distributions, Combinations, Subdivisions and Reclassifications by the Partnership . If, after the Series A Issuance Date, the Partnership (i) makes a distribution on its Common Units payable in Common Units or another Partnership Interest, (ii) subdivides or splits its outstanding Common Units into a greater number of Common Units, (iii) combines or reclassifies its Common Units into a smaller number of Common Units or (iv) issues by reclassification of its Common Units any Partnership Interests (including any reclassification in connection with a merger, consolidation or business combination in which the Partnership is the surviving Person), in each case other than in connection with a Series A Change of Control (which shall be governed by Section 5.14(b)(vii)), then the Series A Conversion Rate in effect at the time of the Record Date for such distribution or the effective date of such subdivision, split, combination, or reclassification shall be proportionately adjusted so that the conversion of the Series A Preferred Units after such time shall entitle each Series A Unitholder to receive the aggregate number of Common Units (or any Partnership Interests into which such Common Units would have been combined, consolidated, merged or reclassified pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) above) that such Series A Unitholder would have been entitled to receive if the Series A Preferred Units had been converted into Common Units immediately prior to such Record Date or effective date, as the case may be, and in the case of a merger, consolidation or business combination in which the Partnership is the surviving Person, the Partnership shall provide effective provisions to ensure that the provisions in this Section 5.14 relating to the Series A Preferred Units shall not be abridged or amended and that the Series A Preferred Units shall thereafter retain the same powers, preferences and relative participating, optional and other special rights, and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereon, that the Series A Preferred Units had immediately prior to such transaction or event. An adjustment made pursuant to this Section 5.14(b)(vi)(E) shall become effective immediately after the Record Date in the case of a distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination, reclassification (including any reclassification in connection with a merger, consolidation or business combination in which the Partnership is the surviving Person)

or split. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any event described above shall occur.

(F) No Adjustments for Certain Items . Notwithstanding any of the other provisions of this Section 5.14(b)(vi), no adjustment shall be made to the Series A Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 5.14(b)(vi)(E) as a result of any of the following:

(1) the issuance of additional Partnership Securities issued in connection with distributions paid in-kind;

(2) the grant of Common Units or options, warrants or rights to purchase or receive Common Units or the issuance of Common Units upon the exercise or vesting of any such options, warrants or rights to employees, officers or directors of Plains All American GP LLC, PAGP GP or the Partnership and its Subsidiaries in respect of services provided to or for the benefit of the Partnership or its Subsidiaries, under compensation plans and agreements approved in good faith by the General Partner (including any long term incentive plan); or

(3) the issuance of any Common Units as all or part of the consideration to effect (i) the closing of any acquisition by the Partnership of assets or equity interests of a third party in an arm’s-length transaction or (ii) the consummation of a merger, consolidation or other business combination of the Partnership with another entity in which the Partnership survives and the Common Units remain Outstanding to the extent any such transaction set forth in clause (i) or (ii) above is validly approved by the vote or consent of the General Partner.

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, whenever the issuance of a Partnership Interest or other event would require an adjustment to the Series A Conversion Rate under one or more provisions of this Agreement, only one adjustment shall be made to the Series A Conversion Rate in respect of such issuance or event.

(vii) Series A Change of Control .

(A) Subject to Section 5.14(b)(vi)(B), in the event of a Series A Cash COC Event, the Outstanding Series A Preferred Units shall be automatically converted, without requirement of any action of the Series A Preferred Unitholders, into Common Units immediately prior to the closing of the Series A Cash COC Event at a conversion ratio equal to the greater of (1) the then applicable Series A Conversion Rate (or, if the Series A Preferred Units are not then convertible, assuming that such Series A Preferred Units are convertible at the then applicable Series A Conversion Rate) and (2) the quotient of (i) the product of (a) the Series A

Issue Price together with accrued but unpaid distributions on the Series A Preferred Units, multiplied by (b) the Series A Cash COC Conversion Premium, divided by (ii) the volume-weighted average price of the Common Units for the thirty (30) consecutive Trading Days ending immediately prior to the date of execution and public announcement of the Series A Cash COC Event; provided , that the ratio contemplated by clause (2) above shall not exceed a ratio resulting in a value per Series A Preferred Unit (based on the consideration payable to holders of Common Units in such Series A Cash COC Event) equal to (i) 120% of the Series A Issue Price in the case of a Series A Change of Control occurring on or prior to the first anniversary of the Series A Issuance Date, (ii) 130% of the Series A Issue Price in the case of a Series A Change of Control occurring after the first anniversary of the Series A Issuance Date but on or prior to the second anniversary of the Series A Issuance Date, and (iii) 140% of the Series A Issue Price in the case of a Series A Change of Control occurring after the second anniversary of the Series A Issuance Date but on or prior to the third anniversary of the Series A Issuance Date.

(B) Promptly upon entry into definitive agreements that provide for a Series A Change of Control (other than a Series A Cash COC Event), if the Partnership has not issued a press release or other widely-disseminated public statement regarding the entry into such definitive agreements, the Partnership shall provide written notice thereof to the Series A Unitholders. Subject to Section 5.14(b)(vi)(B), if a Series A Change of Control (other than a Series A Cash COC Event) occurs, then each Series A Preferred Unitholder, with respect to all but not less than all of its Series A Preferred Units, by notice given to the Partnership within ten (10) Business Days of the date the Partnership provides written notice of the execution of definitive agreements that provide for a Series A Change of Control, shall be entitled to elect one of the following (with the understanding that any Series A Preferred Unitholder who fails to timely provide notice of its election to the Partnership shall be deemed to have elected the option set forth in sub-clause (1) below):

(1) convert all, but not less than all, Outstanding Series A Preferred Units into Common Units, at the then-applicable Series A Conversion Rate, subject to payment of any accrued but unpaid distributions to the date of conversion, in accordance with Section 5.14(b)(vi);

(2) if the Partnership will not be the surviving entity of such Series A Change of Control or the Partnership will be the surviving entity but its Common Units will cease to be listed or admitted to trading on a National Securities Exchange, require the Partnership to use its commercially reasonable efforts to deliver or to cause to be delivered to the Series A Preferred Unitholders, in exchange for their Series A Preferred Units upon such Series A

Change of Control, a security in the surviving entity that has substantially similar rights, preferences and privileges as the Series A Preferred Units, including, for the avoidance of doubt, the right to distributions equal in amount and timing to those provided in Section 5.14(b)(i) and a conversion rate proportionately adjusted such that the conversion of such security in the surviving entity immediately following the Series A Change of Control would entitle the holder to the number of common securities of such surviving entity (together with a number of common securities of equivalent value to any other assets received by Common Unitholders in such Series A Change of Control) which, if a Series A Preferred Unit had been converted into Common Units immediately prior to such Series A Change of Control, such holder would have been entitled to receive immediately following such Series A Change of Control (such security in the surviving entity, a “ Substantially Equivalent Unit ”); provided , however , that, if the Partnership is unable to deliver or cause to be delivered Substantially Equivalent Units to any Series A Preferred Unitholder in connection with such Series A Change of Control, each Series A Preferred Unitholder shall be entitled to either (A) require redemption of such Series A Preferred Units in the manner contemplated by sub-clause (4) of this Section 5.14(b)(vii)(B) or (B) convert the Series A Preferred Units held by such Series A Preferred Unitholder immediately prior to such Series A Change of Control into a number of Common Units at a conversion ratio equal to the quotient of:

a. the product of (i) 160% multiplied by (ii) the Series A Issue Price, less the Series A Unitholder’s Pro Rata portion of the sum of (A) all cash distributions paid on all Series A Preferred Units on or prior to the date of the Series A Change of Control, and (B) an amount in cash equal to the aggregate of the Series A Quarterly Distribution Amounts paid in Series A PIK Units (based on the value of such Series A PIK Units on the applicable Series A PIK Payment Date) on or before the date of the Series A Change of Control, divided by

b. an amount equal to 95% of the volume-weighted average price of the Common Units for the thirty (30) Trading Day period prior to the closing of the Series A Change of Control; provided , that such ratio shall be capped at a value per Series A Preferred Unit equal to (i) 120% of the Series A Issue Price in the case of a Series A Change of Control occurring on or prior to the first anniversary of the Series A Issuance Date, (ii) 130% of the Series A Issue Price in the case of a Series A Change of

Control occurring after the first anniversary of the Series A Issuance Date but on or prior to the second anniversary of the Series A Issuance Date, and (iii) 140% of the Series A Issue Price in the case of a Series A Change of Control occurring after the second anniversary of the Series A Issuance Date but on or prior to the third anniversary of the Series A Issuance Date.

(3) if the Partnership is the surviving entity of such Series A Change of Control, continue to hold Series A Preferred Units; or

(4) require the Partnership to redeem the Series A Preferred Units at a price per Series A Preferred Unit equal to 101% of the Series A Issue Price plus accrued and unpaid distributions to the date of such redemption. Any redemption pursuant to this sub-clause (4) shall, in the sole discretion of the General Partner, be paid in cash and/or Common Units. If all or any portion of such redemption is to be paid in Common Units, the Common Units to be issued shall be valued at 95% of the volume-weighted average price of the Common Units for the thirty (30) Trading Day period ending on the fifth Trading Day immediately prior to the Series A Change of Control. No later than three Trading Days prior to the consummation of the related Series A Change of Control, the Partnership shall deliver a written notice to the holders of the Series A Preferred Units stating the date on which the Series A Preferred Units will be redeemed and the Partnership’s computation of the amount of cash or Common Units to be received by the holder upon redemption of such Series A Preferred Units. No later than 10 Business Days following the consummation of such Series A Change of Control, the Partnership shall remit the applicable cash or Common Unit consideration to the holders of then Outstanding Series A Preferred Units. The holders shall deliver to the Partnership any certificates representing the Series A Preferred Units as soon as practicable following the redemption. Holders of the Series A Preferred Units shall retain all of the rights and privileges thereof unless and until the consideration due to them as a result of such redemption shall be paid in full in cash or Common Units, as applicable.

(viii) Series A Preferred Unit Transfer Restrictions.

(A) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 5.14(b)(viii), each Series A Purchaser shall be permitted to transfer any Series A Preferred Units owned by such Series A Purchaser to any of its Affiliates or to any other Series A Purchaser.

(B) Without the prior written consent of the Partnership, except as specifically provided in this Agreement, each Series A Preferred Unitholder shall not, (a) during the period commencing on the Series A Issuance Date and ending on the first anniversary of the Series A Issuance Date, offer, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, lend, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any of its Series A Preferred Units, (b) during the period commencing on the Series A Issuance Date and ending on the second anniversary of the Series A Issuance Date, directly or indirectly engage in any short sales or other derivative or hedging transactions with respect to the Series A Preferred Units, (c) transfer any Series A Preferred Units to any non-U.S. resident individual, non-U.S. corporation or partnership, or any other non-U.S. entity, including any foreign governmental entity, including by means of any swap or other transaction or arrangement that transfers or that is designed to, or that might reasonably be expected to, result in the transfer to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of any Series A Preferred Units, regardless of whether any transaction described in clauses (a) through (c) above is to be settled by delivery of Series A Preferred Units, Common Units or other securities, in cash or otherwise, or (d) effect any transfer of Series A Preferred Units or Series A Conversion Units in a manner that violates the terms of this Agreement; provided, however , that such Series A Preferred Unitholder may pledge all or any portion of its Series A Preferred Units to any holders of obligations owed by the Series A Preferred Unitholders, including to the trustee for, or representative of, such holders; provided further , that such Series A Preferred Unitholder may transfer any of the Series A Preferred Units purchased hereunder to an Affiliate of such Series A Preferred Unitholder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any transferee receiving any Series A Preferred Units pursuant to this Section 5.14(b)(viii)(B) shall agree to the restrictions set forth in this Section 5.14(b)(viii)(B).

(C) Following the first anniversary of the Series A Issuance Date, the Series A Purchasers or their permitted transferees may freely transfer Series A Preferred Units involving an underlying value of Common Units of at least $50,000,000 based on the closing trading price of Common Units on the date immediately preceding the date of such transfer on the National Securities Exchange on which the Common Units are then listed or trading (or such lesser amount if it (i) constitutes the remaining holdings of such Series A Preferred Unitholder or (ii) has been approved by the General Partner, in its sole discretion), subject to compliance with applicable securities laws and this Agreement.

(ix) Series A Distribution Amount Reset; Redemption.

(A) For a period of thirty (30) days following (1) the fifth anniversary of the Series A Issuance Date and (2) each subsequent anniversary of the Series A Issuance Date, the Series A Preferred Unitholders, acting by a vote of a majority of the Outstanding Series A Preferred Units, may make a one-time election to reset the Series A Distribution Amount to an amount equal to the Series A Reset Amount.

(B) If the Series A Preferred Unitholders elect to reset the Series A Distribution Amount pursuant to Section 5.14(b)(ix)(A), then, at any time following thirty (30) days after the sixth anniversary of the Series A Issuance Date, the Partnership may, at its option, by delivering written notice to the Series A Preferred Unitholders, redeem all or any portion of the Outstanding Series A Preferred Units in exchange for cash, Common Units (valued at 95% of the volume-weighted average price of the Common Units for the thirty (30) Trading Day period ending on the fifth Trading Day immediately prior to the date of such redemption) or a combination thereof at a redemption price equal to 110% of the Series A Issue Price, plus any accrued and unpaid distributions; provided , however , the Partnership must have an effective registration statement on file with the Commission covering resales of the underlying Common Units to be received upon any such redemption; provided, further , any such redemption by the Partnership shall (1) cover an aggregate amount of Series A Preferred Units (including any Outstanding Series A PIK Units) with an underlying value of Common Units of at least $500,000,000 based on the closing price of Common Units on the trading day immediately preceding the date of such notice on the National Securities Exchange on which the Common Units are then listed or admitted to trading (or such lesser amount if such amount includes all then Outstanding Series A Preferred Units) and (2) be allocated among the Series A Preferred Unitholders on a Pro Rata basis or on such other basis as may be agreed upon by the Series A Preferred Unitholders. The Partnership shall have the option to exercise such redemption right no more than two times in respect of the Outstanding Series A Preferred Units. Such written notice shall state the date on which the Series A Preferred Units will be redeemed (such date not to be more than thirty (30) days following delivery of such notice) and the Partnership’s computation of the amount of cash or Common Units to be received by the holder upon redemption of such Series A Preferred Units. Holders of the Series A Preferred Units shall retain all of the rights and privileges thereof unless and until the consideration due to them as a result of such redemption shall be paid in full in cash or Common Units, as applicable.

(x) Fully Paid and Nonassessable . Any Series A Conversion Unit(s) delivered pursuant to this Section 5.14 shall be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable (except as such nonassessability may be affected by matters

described in Sections 17-303, 17-607 and 17-804 of the Delaware Act), free and clear of any liens, claims, rights or encumbrances other than those arising under the Delaware Act or this Agreement or created by the holders thereof.

(xi) Partnership Restructuring Event . Subject to Section 5.14(b)(vi)(B), if (A) a Partnership Restructuring Event occurs or the Partnership engages in any other recapitalization, reorganization, consolidation, merger, spin-off or other business combination (other than a Series A Change of Control) and (B) (1) the Partnership will not be the surviving entity of such Partnership Restructuring Event or other event or (2) the Partnership will be the surviving entity but its Common Units will cease to be listed or admitted to trading on a National Securities Exchange, the Partnership shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Series A Preferred Unitholders, in exchange for their Series A Preferred Units upon consummation of such Partnership Restructuring Event or other event, a security in the surviving entity that has substantially similar rights, preferences and privileges as the Series A Preferred Units, including, for the avoidance of doubt, the right to distributions equal in amount and timing to those provided in Section 5.14(b)(i) and a conversion rate proportionately adjusted such that the conversion of such security in the surviving entity immediately following the Partnership Restructuring Event or such other event would entitle the holder to the number of common securities of such surviving entity (together with a number of common securities of equivalent value to any other assets received by Common Unitholders in such Partnership Restructuring Event or such other event) which, if a Series A Preferred Unit had been converted into Common Units immediately prior to such Partnership Restructuring Event or such other event, such holder would have been entitled to receive immediately following such Partnership Restructuring Event or such other event.

(xii) Notices . For the avoidance of doubt, the Partnership shall distribute to the holders of Series A Preferred Units copies of all notices, materials, annual and quarterly reports, proxy statements, information statements and any other documents distributed generally to the holders of Common Units of the Partnership, at such times and by such method as such documents are distributed to such holders of such Common Units.

(xiii) Liquidation Value . In the event of any liquidation, dissolution and winding up of the Partnership under Section 12.4 or a sale, exchange or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Partnership, either voluntary or involuntary, the Record Holders of the Series A Preferred Units shall be entitled to receive, out of the assets of the Partnership available for distribution to the Partners or any Assignees, prior and in preference to any distribution of any assets of the Partnership to the Record Holders of any other class or series of Partnership Interests, the positive value in each such holder’s Capital Account in respect of such Series A Preferred Units, after taking into account all Capital Account adjustments for the relevant taxable periods, including without limitation those provided for under Section 6.1(d)(x)(C).

ARTICLE VI
ALLOCATIONS AND DISTRIBUTIONS

Section 6.1 Allocations for Capital Account Purposes .

For purposes of maintaining the Capital Accounts and in determining the rights of the Partners among themselves, the Partnership’s items of income, gain, loss and deduction (computed in accordance with Section 5.5(b)) shall be allocated among the Partners in each taxable year (or portion thereof) as provided herein below.

(a) Net Income . After giving effect to the special allocations set forth in Section 6.1(d), Net Income for each taxable year and all items of income, gain, loss and deduction taken into account in computing Net Income for such taxable year shall be allocated as follows:

(i) First, 100% to the General Partner as necessary to eliminate any deficit balance in the General Partner’s Capital Account; and

(ii) Second, the balance, if any, to the Unitholders in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests.

(b) Net Losses . After giving effect to the special allocations set forth in Section 6.1(d), Net Losses for each taxable period and all items of income, gain, loss and deduction taken into account in computing Net Losses for such taxable period shall be allocated as follows:

(i) First, to the Unitholders in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests, provided that the Net Losses shall not be allocated pursuant to this Section 6.1(b)(i) to the extent that such allocation would cause any Unitholder to have a deficit balance in its Adjusted Capital Account at the end of such taxable year (or increase any existing deficit balance in its Adjusted Capital Account);

(ii) Second, to the Unitholders holding Common Units in accordance with the positive balances in their Adjusted Capital Accounts as such Adjusted Capital Accounts would be determined without regard to any Series A Preferred Units then held by such Unitholders;

(iii) Third, to the Series A Preferred Unitholders in accordance with the positive balances in their Adjusted Capital Accounts; and

(iv) Finally, the balance, if any, 100% to the General Partner.

(d) Special Allocations . Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 6.1, the following special allocations shall be made for such taxable period:

(i) Partnership Minimum Gain Chargeback . Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 6.1, if there is a net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain during any Partnership taxable period, each Partner shall be allocated items of Partnership income and gain for such period (and, if necessary, subsequent periods) in the manner and amounts provided in Treasury Regulation Sections 1.704-2(f)(6), 1.704-2(g)(2) and 1.704-2(j)(2)(i), or any successor provision. For purposes of this Section 6.1(d), each Partner’s Adjusted Capital Account balance shall be determined, and the allocation of income or gain required hereunder shall be effected, prior to the application of any other allocations pursuant to this Section 6.1(d) with respect to such taxable period (other than an allocation pursuant to Sections 6.1(d)(vi) and 6.1(d)(vii)). This Section 6.1(d)(i) is intended to comply with the Partnership Minimum Gain chargeback requirement in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(f) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

(ii) Chargeback of Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain . Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section 6.1 (other than Section 6.1(d)(i)), except as provided in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(4), if there is a net decrease in Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain during any Partnership taxable period, any Partner with a share of Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain at the beginning of such taxable period shall be allocated items of Partnership income and gain for such period (and, if necessary, subsequent periods) in the manner and amounts provided in Treasury Regulation Sections 1.704-2(i)(4) and 1.704-2(j)(2)(ii), or any successor provisions. For purposes of this Section 6.1(d), each Partner’s Adjusted Capital Account balance shall be determined, and the allocation of income or gain required hereunder shall be effected, prior to the application of any other allocations pursuant to this Section 6.1(d), other than Section 6.1(d)(i) and other than an allocation pursuant to Sections 6.1(d)(vi) and 6.1(d)(vii), with respect to such taxable period. This Section 6.1(d)(ii) is intended to comply with the chargeback of items of income and gain requirement in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(4) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

(iii) Priority Allocations . If the amount of cash or the Net Agreed Value of any property distributed (except cash or property distributed pursuant to Section 12.4 or with respect to Series A Preferred Units) to any Unitholder with respect to its Units for a taxable year is greater (on a per Unit basis) than the amount of cash or the Net Agreed Value of property distributed to the other Unitholders with respect to their Units (on a per Unit basis), then each such Unitholder receiving such greater cash or property distribution shall be allocated gross income in an amount equal to the product of (aa) the amount by which the distribution (on a per Unit basis) to such Unitholder exceeds the distribution (on a per Unit basis) to the Unitholders receiving the smallest distribution and (bb) the number of Units owned by the Unitholder receiving the greater distribution.

(iv) Qualified Income Offset . In the event any Partner unexpectedly receives any adjustments, allocations or distributions described in Treasury

Regulation Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(5), or 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(6), items of Partnership income and gain shall be specially allocated to such Partner in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate, to the extent required by the Treasury Regulations promulgated under Section 704(b) of the Code, the deficit balance, if any, in its Adjusted Capital Account created by such adjustments, allocations or distributions as quickly as possible unless such deficit balance is otherwise eliminated pursuant to Section 6.1(d)(i) or (ii).

(v) Gross Income Allocations . In the event any Partner has a deficit balance in its Capital Account at the end of any Partnership taxable period in excess of the sum of (A) the amount such Partner is required to restore pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement and (B) the amount such Partner is deemed obligated to restore pursuant to Treasury Regulation Sections 1.704-2(g) and 1.704-2(i)(5), such Partner shall be specially allocated items of Partnership gross income and gain in the amount of such excess as quickly as possible; provided, that an allocation pursuant to this Section 6.1(d)(v) shall be made only if and to the extent that such Partner would have a deficit balance in its Capital Account as adjusted after all other allocations provided for in this Section 6.1 have been tentatively made as if this Section 6.1(d)(v) were not in this Agreement.

(vi) Nonrecourse Deductions . Nonrecourse Deductions for any taxable period shall be allocated to the Partners in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests. If the General Partner determines in its good faith discretion that the Partnership’s Nonrecourse Deductions must be allocated in a different ratio to satisfy the safe harbor requirements of the Treasury Regulations promulgated under Section 704(b) of the Code, the General Partner is authorized, upon notice to the other Partners, to revise the prescribed ratio to the numerically closest ratio that does satisfy such requirements.

(vii) Partner Nonrecourse Deductions . Partner Nonrecourse Deductions for any taxable period shall be allocated 100% to the Partner that bears the Economic Risk of Loss with respect to the Partner Nonrecourse Debt to which such Partner Nonrecourse Deductions are attributable in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i). If more than one Partner bears the Economic Risk of Loss with respect to a Partner Nonrecourse Debt, such Partner Nonrecourse Deductions attributable thereto shall be allocated between or among such Partners in accordance with the ratios in which they share such Economic Risk of Loss.

(viii) Nonrecourse Liabilities . For purposes of Treasury Regulation Section 1.752-3(a)(3), the Partners agree that Nonrecourse Liabilities of the Partnership in excess of the sum of (A) the amount of Partnership Minimum Gain and (B) the total amount of Nonrecourse Built-in Gain shall be allocated among the Partners in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests.

(ix) Code Section 754 Adjustments . To the extent an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any Partnership asset pursuant to Section 734(b) or 743(b) of

the Code is required, pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m), to be taken into account in determining Capital Accounts, the amount of such adjustment to the Capital Accounts shall be treated as an item of gain (if the adjustment increases the basis of the asset) or loss (if the adjustment decreases such basis), and such item of gain or loss shall be specially allocated to the Partners in a manner consistent with the manner in which their Capital Accounts are required to be adjusted pursuant to such Section of the Treasury Regulations.

(x) Allocations with respect to Series A Preferred Units .

(A) Items of Partnership gross income shall be allocated to each Series A Preferred Unitholder until the aggregate amount of gross income allocated to each Series A Preferred Unitholder pursuant hereto for the current taxable period and all previous taxable periods is equal to the cumulative amount of all cash distributions made with respect to such Series A Preferred Unit pursuant to Section 5.14(b)(i) from the date such Series A Preferred Unit was issued to a date 45 days after the end of the current taxable year (and for the avoidance of doubt, without taking into account the cash distributions treated as made to Series A Preferred Unitholders pursuant to Section 5.14(b)(i)(F)).

(B) Items of Unrealized Gain and, to the extent Unrealized Gain is insufficient, Partnership gross income shall be allocated to each Series A Preferred Unitholder until the aggregate amount of such items allocated to each Series A Preferred Unitholder pursuant hereto for the current taxable period and all previous taxable periods is equal to the cumulative amount of all Net Losses allocated to such Series A Preferred Unitholder pursuant to Section 6.1(b)(iii) for all previous taxable years.

(C) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 6.1 (other than the Required Allocations), if (A) the Liquidation Date occurs prior to the conversion of the last Outstanding Series A Preferred Unit and (B) after having made all other allocations provided for in this Section 6.1 for the taxable period in which the Liquidation Date occurs, the Per Unit Capital Amount of each Series A Preferred Unit does not equal or exceed the Series A Liquidation Value, then items of income, gain, loss and deduction for such taxable period shall be allocated among the Partners in a manner determined appropriate by the General Partner so as to cause, to the maximum extent possible, the Per Unit Capital Amount in respect of each Series A Preferred Unit to equal the Series A Liquidation Value (and no other allocation pursuant to this Agreement shall reverse the effect of such allocation). For the avoidance of doubt, the reallocation of items set forth in the immediately preceding sentence provides that, to the extent necessary to achieve the Per Unit Capital Amount balances described above, items of income and gain that would otherwise be included in Net Income or Net Loss, as the case may be, for the taxable period in which

the Liquidation Date occurs, shall be reallocated from the Unitholders holding Units other than Series A Preferred Units to Unitholders holding Series A Preferred Units. In the event that (i) the Liquidation Date occurs on or before the date (not including any extension of time) prescribed by law for the filing of the Partnership’s federal income tax return for the taxable period immediately prior to the taxable period in which the Liquidation Date occurs and (ii) the reallocation of items for the taxable period in which the Liquidation Date occurs as set forth above in this Section 6.1(d)(x)(C) fails to achieve the Per Unit Capital Amounts described above, items of income, gain, loss and deduction that would otherwise be included in the Net Income or Net Loss, as the case may be, for such prior taxable period shall be reallocated among all Partners in a manner that will, to the maximum extent possible and after taking into account all other allocations made pursuant to this Section 6.1(d)(x)(C), cause the Per Unit Capital Amount in respect of each Series A Preferred Unit to equal the Series A Liquidation Value.

(xi) Curative Allocation .

(A) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 6.1, other than the Required Allocations, the Required Allocations shall be taken into account in making the Agreed Allocations so that, to the extent possible, the net amount of items of income, gain, loss and deduction allocated to each Partner pursuant to the Required Allocations and the Agreed Allocations, together, shall be equal to the net amount of such items that would have been allocated to each such Partner under the Agreed Allocations had the Required Allocations and the related Curative Allocation not otherwise been provided in this Section 6.1. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, Required Allocations relating to (1) Nonrecourse Deductions shall not be taken into account except to the extent that there has been a decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain and (2) Partner Nonrecourse Deductions shall not be taken into account except to the extent that there has been a decrease in Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain. Allocations pursuant to this Section 6.1(d)(xi)(A) shall only be made with respect to Required Allocations to the extent the General Partner reasonably determines that such allocations will otherwise be inconsistent with the economic agreement among the Partners. Further, allocations pursuant to this Section 6.1(d)(xi)(A) shall be deferred with respect to allocations pursuant to clauses (1) and (2) hereof to the extent the General Partner reasonably determines that such allocations are likely to be offset by subsequent Required Allocations.

(B) The General Partner shall have reasonable discretion, with respect to each taxable period, to (1) apply the provisions of Section 6.1(d)(xi)(A) in whatever order is most likely to minimize the economic distortions that might otherwise result from the Required Allocations, and

(2) divide all allocations pursuant to Section 6.1(d)(xi)(A) among the Partners in a manner that is likely to minimize such economic distortions.

(xii) Allocations with respect to AAP Common Units .

(A) In applying Sections 5.5(d) and 6.1(c) of the Fifth A&R LP Agreement and the 2012 Agreement (as defined in the Fifth A&R LP Agreement) upon a Revaluation Event occurring on or after January 1, 2016, the General Partner shall, adopt such valuation methodologies and make special allocations of Net Termination Gain and Net Termination Loss (as those terms are defined in the Fifth A&R LP Agreement) among the Partners in a manner that takes into account the relative economics established by the Simplification Agreement and to the nearest extent possible results in the Capital Accounts maintained with respect to each AAP Common Unit equaling the Per Unit Capital Amount for an Initial Common Unit.

(B) Upon any Revaluation Event occurring concurrent with or after the PAA/AAP Interest Restructuring (as defined in the Simplification Agreement), items of Unrealized Gain and Unrealized Loss shall be allocated among the Partners in a manner that to the nearest extent possible results in the Capital Accounts maintained with respect to each AAP Common Unit equaling the Per Unit Capital Amount for an Initial Common Unit.

Section 6.2 Allocations for Tax Purposes.

(a) Except as otherwise provided herein, for federal income tax purposes, each item of income, gain, loss and deduction shall be allocated among the Partners in the same manner as its correlative item of “book” income, gain, loss or deduction is allocated pursuant to Section 6. 1.

(b) In an attempt to eliminate Book-Tax Disparities attributable to a Contributed Property or Adjusted Property, items of income, gain, loss, depreciation, amortization and cost recovery deductions shall be allocated for federal income tax purposes among the Partners as follows:

(i) (A) In the case of a Contributed Property, such items attributable thereto shall be allocated among the Partners in the manner provided under Section 704(c) of the Code that takes into account the variation between the Agreed Value of such property and its adjusted basis at the time of contribution; and (B) any item of Residual Gain or Residual Loss attributable to a Contributed Property shall be allocated among the Partners in the same manner as its correlative item of “book” gain or loss is allocated pursuant to Section 6.1.

(ii) (A) In the case of an Adjusted Property, such items shall (1) first, be allocated among the Partners in a manner consistent with the principles of Section 704(c) of the Code to take into account the Unrealized Gain or Unrealized

Loss attributable to such property and the allocations thereof pursuant to Section 5.5(d)(i) or 5-5(d)(ii), and (2) second, in the event such property was originally a Contributed Property, be allocated among the Partners in a manner consistent with Section 6.2(b)(i)(A); and (B) any item of Residual Gain or Residual Loss attributable to an Adjusted Property shall be allocated among the Partners in the same manner as its correlative item of “book” gain or loss is allocated pursuant to Section 6.1.

(iii) The General Partner shall apply the principles of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-3(d) to eliminate Book-Tax Disparities.

(c) For the proper administration of the Partnership and for the preservation of uniformity of the Limited Partner Interests (or any class or classes thereof), the General Partner shall have sole discretion to (i) adopt such conventions as it deems appropriate in determining the amount of depreciation, amortization and cost recovery deductions; (ii) make special allocations for federal income tax purposes of income (including, without limitation, gross income) or deductions; and (iii) amend the provisions of this Agreement as appropriate (x) to reflect the proposal or promulgation of Treasury Regulations under Section 704(b) or Section 704(c) of the Code or (y) otherwise to preserve or achieve uniformity of the Limited Partner Interests (or any class or classes thereof). The General Partner may adopt such conventions, make such allocations and make such amendments to this Agreement as provided in this Section 6.2(c) only if such conventions, allocations or amendments would not have a material adverse effect on the Partners, the holders of any class or classes of Limited Partner Interests issued and Outstanding or the Partnership, and if such allocations are consistent with the principles of Section 704 of the Code.

(d) The General Partner in its discretion may determine to depreciate or amortize the portion of an adjustment under Section 743(b) of the Code attributable to unrealized appreciation in any Adjusted Property (to the extent of the unamortized Book-Tax Disparity) using a predetermined rate derived from the depreciation or amortization method and useful life applied to the Partnership’s common basis of such property, despite any inconsistency of such approach with Proposed Treasury Regulation Section 1.167(c)-1(a)(6). If the General Partner determines that such reporting position cannot reasonably be taken, the General Partner may adopt depreciation and amortization conventions under which all purchasers acquiring Limited Partner Interests in the same month would receive depreciation and amortization deductions, based upon the same applicable rate as if they had purchased a direct interest in the Partnership’s property. If the General Partner chooses not to utilize such aggregate method, the General Partner may use any other reasonable depreciation and amortization conventions to preserve the uniformity of the intrinsic tax characteristics of any Limited Partner Interests that would not have a material adverse effect on the Limited Partners or the Record Holders of any class or classes of Limited Partner Interests.

(e) Any gain allocated to the Partners upon the sale or other taxable disposition of any Partnership asset shall, to the extent possible, after taking into account other required allocations of gain pursuant to this Section 6.2, be characterized as Recapture Income in the same proportions and to the same extent as such Partners (or their predecessors in interest)

have been allocated any deductions directly or indirectly giving rise to the treatment of such gains as Recapture Income.

(f) All items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit recognized by the Partnership for federal income tax purposes and allocated to the Partners in accordance with the provisions hereof shall be determined without regard to any election under Section 754 of the Code which may be made by the Partnership; provided, however, that such allocations, once made, shall be adjusted as necessary or appropriate to take into account those adjustments permitted or required by Sections 734 and 743 of the Code.

(g) Each item of Partnership income, gain, loss and deduction attributable to a transferred Partnership Interest, shall for federal income tax purposes, be determined on an annual basis and prorated on a monthly basis and shall be allocated to the Partners as of the opening of the New York Stock Exchange on the first Business Day of each month; provided, however, that (i) such items for the period beginning on the Closing Date and ending on the last day of the month in which the Option Closing Date or the expiration of the Over-Allotment Option occurs shall be allocated to the Partners as of the opening of the New York Stock Exchange on the first Business Day of the next succeeding month; and provided, further, that gain or loss on a sale or other disposition of any assets of the Partnership other than in the ordinary course of business shall be allocated to the Partners as of the opening of the New York Stock Exchange on the first Business Day of the month in which such gain or loss is recognized for federal income tax purposes. The General Partner may revise, alter or otherwise modify such methods of allocation as it determines necessary, to the extent permitted or required by Section 706 of the Code and the regulations or rulings promulgated thereunder.

(h) Allocations that would otherwise be made to a Limited Partner under the provisions of this Article VI shall instead be made to the beneficial owner of Limited Partner Interests held by a nominee in any case in which the nominee has furnished the identity of such owner to the Partnership in accordance with Section 6031(c) of the Code or any other method acceptable to the General Partner in its sole discretion.

(i) If, as a result of the conversion of a Series A Preferred Unit into Common Units and the adjustments pursuant to Section 5.5(d)(iii), a Capital Account reallocation is required consistent with the principles of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(s)(3), the General Partner shall make corrective allocations pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(4)(x).

Section 6.3 Requirement for and Characterization of Distributions; Distributions to Record Holders.

(a) Except as otherwise required by Section 5.14(b)(i), within 45 days following the end of each Quarter, an amount equal to 100% of Available Cash with respect to such Quarter shall, subject to Section 17-607 of the Delaware Act, be distributed in accordance with this Article VI by the Partnership to the Partners, Pro Rata, as of the Record Date selected by the General Partner in its reasonable discretion. All amounts of Available Cash distributed by the Partnership on any date from any source shall be deemed to be Operating Surplus until the sum of all amounts of Available Cash theretofore distributed by the Partnership to the Limited

Partners equals the Operating Surplus from the Closing Date through the close of the immediately preceding Quarter. Any remaining amounts of Available Cash distributed by the Partnership on such date shall be deemed to be “Capital Surplus” until a hypothetical holder of a Common Unit acquired on the Closing Date has received with respect to such Common Unit, during the period since the Closing Date through such date, distributions of Available Cash that are deemed to be Capital Surplus in an aggregate amount equal to the Initial Unit Price. Thereafter, all Available Cash shall be distributed as if it were Operating Surplus. All distributions required to be made under this Agreement shall be made subject to Section 17-607 of the Delaware Act. For the avoidance of doubt, the Series A Preferred Units shall not be entitled to distributions made pursuant to this Section 6.3(a).

(b) Notwithstanding Section 6.3(a), in the event of the dissolution and liquidation of the Partnership, all receipts received during or after the Quarter in which the Liquidation Date occurs, other than from borrowings described in (a)(ii) of the definition of Available Cash, shall be applied and distributed solely in accordance with, and subject to the terms and conditions of, Section 12.4.

(c) The General Partner shall have the discretion to treat as a distribution of Available Cash to all or less than all of the Partners or Assignees (i) taxes paid by any member of the Partnership Group on behalf of such Partners or Assignees, (ii) amounts withheld by any member of the Partnership Group for taxes with respect to such Partners or Assignees and (iii) amounts seized by any taxing authority from any member of the Partnership Group with respect to taxes owed by such Partners or Assignees.

(d) Each distribution in respect of a Partnership Interest shall be paid by the Partnership, directly or through the Transfer Agent or through any other Person or agent, only to the Record Holder of such Partnership Interest as of the Record Date set for such distribution. Such payment shall constitute full payment and satisfaction of the Partnership’s liability in respect of such payment, regardless of any claim of any Person who may have an interest in such payment by reason of an assignment or otherwise.

ARTICLE VII
MANAGEMENT AND OPERATION OF BUSINESS

Section 7.1 Management .

(a) The General Partner shall conduct, direct and manage all activities of the Partnership. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, all management powers over the business and affairs of the Partnership shall be exclusively vested in the General Partner, and no Limited Partner or Assignee shall have any management power over the business and affairs of the Partnership. In addition to the powers now or hereafter granted a general partner of a limited partnership under applicable law or which are granted to the General Partner under any other provision of this Agreement, the General Partner, subject to Section 7.3, shall have full power and authority to do all things and on such terms as it, in its sole discretion, may deem necessary or appropriate to conduct the business of the Partnership, to exercise all powers set forth in Section 2.5 and to effectuate the purposes set forth in Section 2.4, including the following:

(i) the making of any expenditures, the lending or borrowing of money, the assumption or guarantee of, or other contracting for, indebtedness and other liabilities, the issuance of evidences of indebtedness, including indebtedness that is convertible into Partnership Securities, and the incurring of any other obligations;

(v) the negotiation, execution and performance of any contracts, conveyances or other instruments (including instruments that limit the liability of the Partnership under contractual arrangements to all or particular assets of the Partnership, with the other party to the contract to have no recourse against the General Partner or its assets other than its interest in the Partnership, even if same results in the terms of the transaction being less favorable to the Partnership than would otherwise be the case);

Section 7.2 Certificate of Limited Partnership .

The General Partner has caused the Certificate of Limited Partnership to be filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware as required by the Delaware Act and shall use all

reasonable efforts to cause to be filed such other certificates or documents as may be determined by the General Partner in its sole discretion to be reasonable and necessary or appropriate for the formation, continuation, qualification and operation of a limited partnership (or a partnership in which the limited partners have limited liability) in the State of Delaware or any other state in which the Partnership may elect to do business or own property. To the extent that such action is determined by the General Partner in its sole discretion to be reasonable and necessary or appropriate, the General Partner shall file amendments to and restatements of the Certificate of Limited Partnership and do all things to maintain the Partnership as a limited partnership (or a partnership or other entity in which the limited partners have limited liability) under the laws of the State of Delaware or of any other state in which the Partnership may elect to do business or own property. Subject to the terms of Section 3.4(a), the General Partner shall not be required, before or after filing, to deliver or mail a copy of the Certificate of Limited Partnership, any qualification document or any amendment thereto to any Limited Partner.

Section 7.3 Restrictions on General Partner’s Authority .

(a) The General Partner may not, without written approval of the specific act by holders of all of the Outstanding Limited Partner Interests or by other written instrument executed and delivered by holders of all of the Outstanding Limited Partner Interests subsequent to the date of this Agreement, take any action in contravention of this Agreement, including, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, (i) committing any act that would make it impossible to carry on the ordinary business of the Partnership; (ii) possessing Partnership property, or assigning any rights in specific Partnership property, for other than a Partnership purpose; (iii) admitting a Person as a Partner; (iv) amending this Agreement in any manner; or (v) transferring its interest as general partner of the Partnership.

Without the approval of holders of a Unit Majority, the General Partner shall not, on behalf of the Partnership, (i) consent to any amendment to the Operating Partnership Agreements or, except as expressly permitted by Section 7.9(d), take any action permitted to be taken by a partner of an Operating Partnership, in either case, that would have a material adverse effect on the Partnership as a partner of an Operating Partnership or (ii) except as permitted under Sections 4.6, 11.1 and 11.2, elect or cause the Partnership to elect a successor general partner.

Section 7.4 Reimbursement of the General Partner .

The General Partner shall determine the expenses that are allocable to the Partnership in any reasonable manner determined by the General Partner in its sole discretion. Reimbursements pursuant to this Section 7.4 shall be in addition to any reimbursement to the General Partner as a result of indemnification pursuant to Section 7.7.

(c) Subject to Section 5.6(d), the General Partner, in its sole discretion and without the approval of the Limited Partners (who shall have no right to vote in respect thereof), may propose and adopt on behalf of the Partnership employee benefit plans, employee programs and employee practices (including plans, programs and practices involving the issuance of Partnership Securities or options to purchase Partnership Securities), or cause the Partnership to issue Partnership Securities in connection with, or pursuant to, any employee benefit plan, employee program or employee practice maintained or sponsored by the General Partner or any of its Affiliates, in each case for the benefit of employees of the General Partner, any Group Member or any Affiliate, or any of them, in respect of services performed, directly or indirectly, for the benefit of the Partnership Group. The Partnership agrees to issue and sell to the General Partner or any of its Affiliates any Partnership Securities that the General Partner or such Affiliate is obligated to provide to any employees pursuant to any such employee benefit plans, employee programs or employee practices. Expenses incurred by the General Partner in connection with any such plans, programs and practices (including the net cost to the General Partner or such Affiliate of Partnership Securities purchased by the General Partner or such Affiliate from the Partnership to fulfill options or awards under such plans, programs and practices) shall be reimbursed in accordance with Section 7.4(b). Any and all obligations of the General Partner under any employee benefit plans, employee programs or employee practices adopted by the General Partner as permitted by this Section 7.4(c) shall constitute obligations of the General Partner hereunder and shall be assumed by any successor General Partner approved pursuant to Section 11.1 or 11.2 or the transferee of or successor to all of the General Partner’s General Partner Interest pursuant to Section 4.6.

Section 7.5 Outside Activities .

(a) After the Closing Date, the General Partner, for so long as it is the General Partner of the Partnership (i) agrees that its sole business will be to act as the general partner of the Partnership and, as applicable, any other partnership or limited liability company of which the Partnership is, directly or indirectly, a partner and to undertake activities that are ancillary or related thereto (including being a limited partner in the Partnership) and (ii) shall not engage in any business or activity or incur any debts or liabilities except in connection with or incidental to (A) its performance as general partner of one or more Group Members or as described in or contemplated by the Registration Statement or (B) the acquiring, owning or disposing of debt or equity securities in any Group Member.

(b) Except as specifically restricted by Section 7.5(a), each Indemnitee (other than the General Partner) shall have the right to engage in businesses of every type and description and other activities for profit and to engage in and possess an interest in other business ventures of any and every type or description, whether in businesses engaged in or anticipated to be engaged in by any Group Member, independently or with others, including business interests and activities in direct competition with the business and activities of any Group Member, and none of the same shall constitute a breach of this Agreement or any duty express or implied by law to any Group Member or any Partner or Assignee. Neither any Group Member, any Limited Partner nor any other Person shall have any rights by virtue of this Agreement, either Operating Partnership Agreement or the partnership relationship established hereby or thereby in any business ventures of any Indemnitee.

(c) Subject to the terms of Section 7.5(a) and Section 7.5(b), but otherwise notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, (i) the engaging in competitive activities by any Indemnitees (other than the General Partner) in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.5 is hereby approved by the Partnership and all Partners, (ii) it shall be deemed not to be a breach of the General Partner’s fiduciary duty or any other obligation of any type whatsoever of the General Partner for the Indemnitees (other than the General Partner) to engage in such business interests and activities in preference to or to the exclusion of the Partnership and (iii) the General Partner and the Indemnities shall have no obligation to present business opportunities to the Partnership.

(d) The General Partner and any of its Affiliates may acquire Units or other Partnership Securities in addition to those acquired on the Closing Date and, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, shall be entitled to exercise all rights of the General Partner or Limited Partner, as applicable, relating to such Units or Partnership Securities.

(e) The term “Affiliates” when used in Section 7.5(a) and Section 7.5(d) with respect to the General Partner shall not include any Group Member or any Subsidiary of the Group Member.

(f) Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, to the extent that provisions of Sections 7.7, 7.8, 7.9, 7.10 or other Sections of this Agreement purport or are interpreted to have the effect of restricting the fiduciary duties that might otherwise, as a result of Delaware or other applicable law, be owed by the General Partner to the Partnership and its

Limited Partners, or to constitute a waiver or consent by the Limited Partners to any such restriction, such provisions shall be inapplicable and have no effect in determining whether the General Partner has complied with its fiduciary duties in connection with determinations made by it under this Section 7.5.

Section 7.6 Loans from the General Partner; Loans or Contributions from the Partnership; Contracts with Affiliates; Certain Restrictions on the General Partner .

(a) The General Partner or its Affiliates may lend to any Group Member, and any Group Member may borrow from the General Partner or any of its Affiliates, funds needed or desired by the Group Member for such periods of time and in such amounts as the General Partner may determine; provided, however, that in any such case the lending party may not charge the borrowing party interest at a rate greater than the rate that would be charged the borrowing party or impose terms less favorable to the borrowing party than would be charged or imposed on the borrowing party by unrelated lenders on comparable loans made on an arm’s-length basis (without reference to the lending party’s financial abilities or guarantees). The borrowing party shall reimburse the lending party for any costs (other than any additional interest costs) incurred by the lending party in connection with the borrowing of such funds. For purposes of this Section 7.6(a) and Section 7.6(b), the term “Group Member” shall include any Affiliate of a Group Member that is controlled by the Group Member. No Group Member may lend funds to the General Partner or any of its Affiliates (other than another Group Member).

(b) The Partnership may lend or contribute to any Group Member, and any Group Member may borrow from the Partnership, funds on terms and conditions established in the sole discretion of the General Partner; provided, however, that the Partnership may not charge the Group Member interest at a rate less than the rate that would be charged to the Group Member (without reference to the General Partner’s financial abilities or guarantees) by unrelated lenders on comparable loans. The foregoing authority shall be exercised by the General Partner in its sole discretion and shall not create any right or benefit in favor of any Group Member or any other Person.

(c) The General Partner may itself, or may enter into an agreement with any of its Affiliates to, render services to a Group Member or to the General Partner in the discharge of its duties as general partner of the Partnership. Any services rendered to a Group Member by the General Partner or any of its Affiliates shall be on terms that are fair and reasonable to the Partnership; provided, however, that the requirements of this Section 7.6(c) shall be deemed satisfied as to (i) any transaction approved by Special Approval, (ii) any transaction, the terms of which are no less favorable to the Partnership Group than those generally being provided to or available from unrelated third parties or (iii) any transaction that, taking into account the totality of the relationships between the parties involved (including other transactions that may be particularly favorable or advantageous to the Partnership Group), is equitable to the Partnership Group. The provisions of Section 7.4 shall apply to the rendering of services described in this Section 7.6(c).

(d) The Partnership Group may transfer assets to joint ventures, other partnerships, corporations, limited liability companies or other business entities in which it is or

thereby becomes a participant upon such terms and subject to such conditions as are consistent with this Agreement and applicable law.

(e) Neither the General Partner nor any of its Affiliates shall sell, transfer or convey any property to, or purchase any property from, the Partnership, directly or indirectly, except pursuant to transactions that are fair and reasonable to the Partnership; provided, however, that the requirements of this Section 7.6(e) shall be deemed to be satisfied as to (i) the transactions effected pursuant to the Contribution and Conveyance Agreement and any other transactions described in or contemplated by the Registration Statement, (ii) any transaction approved by Special Approval, (iii) any transaction, the terms of which are no less favorable to the Partnership than those generally being provided to or available from unrelated third parties, or (iv) any transaction that, taking into account the totality of the relationships between the parties involved (including other transactions that may be particularly favorable or advantageous to the Partnership), is equitable to the Partnership. With respect to any contribution of assets to the Partnership in exchange for Partnership Securities, the Conflicts Committee, in determining whether the appropriate number of Partnership Securities are being issued, may take into account, among other things, the fair market value of the assets, the liquidated and contingent liabilities assumed, the tax basis in the assets, the extent to which tax-only allocations to the transferor will protect the existing partners of the Partnership against a low tax basis, and such other factors as the Conflicts Committee deems relevant under the circumstances.

(f) The General Partner and its Affiliates will have no obligation to permit any Group Member to use any facilities or assets of the General Partner and its Affiliates, except as may be provided in contracts entered into from time to time specifically dealing with such use, nor shall there be any obligation on the part of the General Partner or its Affiliates to enter into such contracts.

(g) Without limitation of Sections 7.6(a) through 7.6(f), and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the existence of the conflicts of interest described in the Registration Statement are hereby approved by all Partners.

Section 7.7 Indemnification .

(a) To the fullest extent permitted by law but subject to the limitations expressly provided in this Agreement, all 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 legal fees and expenses), judgments, fines, penalties, interest, settlements or 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 in each case the Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner that such Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in, or (in the case of a Person other than the General Partner) not opposed to, the best interests of the Partnership and, with respect to any criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe its conduct was unlawful; provided, further, no indemnification pursuant to this Section 7.7 shall be available to the General Partner with respect to its obligations incurred pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement or the Contribution and Conveyance Agreement (other than obligations incurred by the General Partner on behalf of the

Partnership or any Operating Partnership). The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere, or its equivalent, shall not create a presumption that the Indemnitee acted in a manner contrary to that specified above. Any indemnification pursuant to this Section 7.7 shall be made only out of the assets of the Partnership, it being agreed that 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.

(b) To the fullest extent permitted by law, expenses (including legal fees and expenses) incurred by an Indemnitee who is indemnified pursuant to Section 7.7(a) 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 any 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 in this Section 7.7.

(c) The indemnification provided by this Section 7.7 shall be in addition to any other rights to which an Indemnitee may be entitled under any agreement, pursuant to any vote of the holders of Outstanding Limited Partner Interests, as a matter of law or otherwise, both as to actions in the Indemnitee’s capacity as an Indemnitee and as to actions in any other capacity (including any capacity under the Underwriting Agreement), and shall continue as to an Indemnitee who has ceased to serve in such capacity and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, successors, assigns and administrators of the Indemnitee.

(d) The Partnership may purchase and maintain (or reimburse the General Partner or its Affiliates for the cost of) insurance, on behalf of the General Partner, its Affiliates and such other Persons as the General Partner shall determine, against any liability that may be asserted against or expense that may be incurred by such Person in connection with the Partnership’s activities or such Person’s activities on behalf of the Partnership, regardless of whether the Partnership would have the power to indemnify such Person against such liability under the provisions of this Agreement.

(e) For purposes of this Section 7.7, the Partnership shall be deemed to have requested an Indemnitee to serve as fiduciary of an employee benefit plan whenever the performance by it of its duties to the Partnership also imposes duties on, or otherwise involves services by, it to the plan or participants or beneficiaries of the plan; excise taxes assessed on an Indemnitee with respect to an employee benefit plan pursuant to applicable law shall constitute “fines” within the meaning of Section 7.7(a); and action taken or omitted by it with respect to any employee benefit plan in the performance of its duties for a purpose reasonably believed by it to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of the plan shall be deemed to be for a purpose which is in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Partnership.

(f) In no event may an Indemnitee subject the Limited Partners to personal liability by reason of the indemnification provisions set forth in this Agreement.

(g) An Indemnitee shall not be denied indemnification in whole or in part under this Section 7.7 because the Indemnitee had an interest in the transaction with respect to

which the indemnification applies if the transaction was otherwise permitted by the terms of this Agreement.

(i) No amendment, modification or repeal of this Section 7.7 or any provision hereof shall in any manner terminate, reduce or impair the right of any past, present or future Indemnitee to be indemnified by the Partnership, nor the obligations of the Partnership to indemnify any such Indemnitee under and in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.7 as in effect immediately prior to such amendment, modification or repeal with respect to claims arising from or relating to matters occurring, in whole or in part, prior to such amendment, modification or repeal, regardless of when such claims may arise or be asserted.

Section 7.8 Liability of lndemnitees .

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, 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 Partnership Securities, for losses sustained or liabilities incurred as a result of any act or omission if such Indemnitee acted in good faith.

(c) To the extent that, at law or in equity, an Indemnitee has duties (including fiduciary duties) and liabilities relating thereto to the Partnership or to the Partners, the General Partner and any other Indemnitee acting in connection with the Partnership’s business or affairs shall not be liable to the Partnership or to any Partner for its good faith reliance on the provisions of this Agreement. The provisions of this Agreement, to the extent that they restrict or otherwise modify the duties and liabilities of an Indemnitee otherwise existing at law or in equity, are agreed by the Partners to replace such other duties and liabilities of such Indemnitee.

(d) Any amendment, modification or repeal of this Section 7.8 or any provision hereof shall be prospective only and shall not in any way affect the limitations on the liability to the Partnership, the Limited Partners, the General Partner, and the Partnership’s and General Partner’s and the Operating General Partner’s directors, officers and employees under this Section 7.8 as in effect immediately prior to such amendment, modification or repeal with respect to claims arising from or relating to matters occurring, in whole or in part, prior to such amendment, modification or repeal, regardless of when such claims may arise or be asserted.

Section 7.9 Resolution of Conflicts of Interest .

(a) Unless otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or an Operating Partnership Agreement, whenever a potential conflict of interest exists or arises between the General Partner or any of its Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Partnership, an Operating Partnership, any Partner or any Assignee, on the other, any resolution or course of action by the General Partner or its Affiliates in respect of such conflict of interest shall be permitted and deemed approved by all Partners, and shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement, of any Operating Partnership Agreement, of any agreement contemplated herein or therein, or of any duty stated or implied by law or equity, if the resolution or course of action is, or by operation of this Agreement is deemed to be, fair and reasonable to the Partnership. The General Partner shall be authorized but not required in connection with its resolution of such conflict of interest to seek Special Approval of such resolution. Any conflict of interest and any resolution of such conflict of interest shall be conclusively deemed fair and reasonable to the Partnership if such conflict of interest or resolution is (i) approved by Special Approval (as long as the material facts known to the General Partner or any of its Affiliates regarding any proposed transaction were disclosed to the Conflicts Committee at the time it gave its approval), (ii) on terms no less favorable to the Partnership than those generally being provided to or available from unrelated third parties or (iii) fair to the Partnership, taking into account the totality of the relationships between the parties involved (including other transactions that may be particularly favorable or advantageous to the Partnership). The General Partner may also adopt a resolution or course of action that has not received Special Approval. The General Partner (including the Conflicts Committee in connection with Special Approval) shall be authorized in connection with its determination of what is “fair and reasonable” to the Partnership and in connection with its resolution of any conflict of interest to consider (A) the relative interests of any party to such conflict, agreement, transaction or situation and the benefits and burdens relating to such interest; (B) any customary or accepted industry practices and any customary or historical dealings with a particular Person; (C) any applicable generally accepted accounting practices or principles; and (D) such additional factors as the General Partner (including the Conflicts Committee) determines in its sole discretion to be relevant, reasonable or appropriate under the circumstances. Nothing contained in this Agreement, however, is intended to nor shall it be construed to require the General Partner (including the Conflicts Committee) to consider the interests of any Person other than the Partnership. In the absence of bad faith by the General Partner, the resolution, action or terms so made, taken or provided by the General Partner with respect to such matter shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement or any other agreement contemplated herein or a breach of any standard of care or duty imposed herein or therein or, to the extent permitted by law, under the Delaware Act or any other law, rule or regulation.

(b) Whenever this Agreement or any other agreement contemplated hereby provides that the General Partner or any of its Affiliates is permitted or required to make a decision (i) in its “sole discretion” or “discretion,” that it deems “necessary or appropriate” or “necessary or advisable” or under a grant of similar authority or latitude, except as otherwise provided herein, the General Partner or such Affiliate shall be entitled to consider only such interests and factors as it desires and shall have no duty or obligation to give any consideration to any interest of, or factors affecting, the Partnership, any Operating Partnership, any Limited Partner or any Assignee, (ii) it may make such decision in its sole discretion (regardless of whether there is a reference to “sole discretion” or “discretion”) unless another express standard

is provided for, or (iii) in “good faith” or under another express standard, the General Partner or such Affiliate shall act under such express standard and shall not be subject to any other or different standards imposed by this Agreement, any Operating Partnership Agreement, any other agreement contemplated hereby or under the Delaware Act or any other law, rule or regulation. In addition, any actions taken by the General Partner or such Affiliate consistent with the standards of “reasonable discretion” set forth in the definitions of Available Cash or Operating Surplus shall not constitute a breach of any duty of the General Partner to the Partnership or the Limited Partners. The General Partner shall have no duty, express or implied, to sell or otherwise dispose of any asset of the Partnership Group other than in the ordinary course of business.

(c) Whenever a particular transaction, arrangement or resolution of a conflict of interest is required under this Agreement to be “fair and reasonable” to any Person, the fair and reasonable nature of such transaction, arrangement or resolution shall be considered in the context of all similar or related transactions.

(d) The Unitholders hereby authorize the General Partner, on behalf of the Partnership as a partner of a Group Member, to approve of actions by the general partner of such Group Member (including the Operating General Partner) similar to those actions permitted to be taken by the General Partner pursuant to this Section 7.9.

Section 7.10 Other Matters Concerning the General Partner .

(a) The General Partner may rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, bond, debenture or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties.

(b) The General Partner may consult with legal counsel, accountants, appraisers, management consultants, investment bankers and other consultants and advisers selected by it, and any act taken or omitted to be taken in reliance upon the opinion (including an Opinion of Counsel) of such Persons as to matters that the General Partner reasonably believes to be within such Person’s professional or expert competence shall be conclusively presumed to have been done or omitted in good faith and in accordance with such opinion.

(d) Any standard of care and duty imposed by this Agreement or under the Delaware Act or any applicable law, rule or regulation shall be modified, waived or limited, to the extent permitted by law, as required to permit the General Partner to act under this Agreement or any other agreement contemplated by this Agreement and to make any decision pursuant to the authority prescribed in this Agreement, so long as such action is reasonably believed by the General Partner to be in, or not inconsistent with, the best interests of the Partnership.

Section 7.11 Purchase or Sale of Partnership Securities .

The General Partner may cause the Partnership to purchase or otherwise acquire Partnership Securities. As long as Partnership Securities are held by any Group Member, such Partnership Securities shall not be considered Outstanding for any purpose, except as otherwise provided herein. The General Partner or any Affiliate of the General Partner may also purchase or otherwise acquire and sell or otherwise dispose of Partnership Securities for its own account, subject to the provisions of Articles IV and X.

Section 7.12 Registration Rights of the General Partner and its Affiliates .

(a) If (i) the General Partner or any Affiliate of the General Partner (including for purposes of this Section 7.12, any Person that is an Affiliate of the General Partner at the date hereof notwithstanding that it may later cease to be an Affiliate of the General Partner) holds Partnership Securities that it desires to sell and (ii) Rule 144 of the Securities Act (or any successor rule or regulation to Rule 144) or another exemption from registration is not available to enable such holder of Partnership Securities (the “ Holder ”) to dispose of the number of Partnership Securities it desires to sell at the time it desires to do so without registration under the Securities Act, then upon the request of the General Partner or any of its Affiliates, the Partnership shall file with the Commission as promptly as practicable after receiving such request, and use all reasonable efforts to cause to become effective and remain effective for a period of not less than six months following its effective date or such shorter period as shall terminate when all Partnership Securities covered by such registration statement have been sold, a registration statement under the Securities Act registering the offering and sale of the number of Partnership Securities specified by the Holder; provided, however, that the Partnership shall not be required to effect more than three registrations pursuant to this Section 7.12(a); and provided further, however, that if the Conflicts Committee determines in its good faith judgment that a postponement of the requested registration for up to six months would be in the best interests of the Partnership and its Partners due to a pending transaction, investigation or other event, the filing of such registration statement or the effectiveness thereof may be deferred for up to six months, but not thereafter. In connection with any registration pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, the Partnership shall promptly prepare and file (x) such documents as may be necessary to register or qualify the securities subject to such registration under the securities laws of such states as the Holder shall reasonably request; provided, however, that no such qualification shall be required in any jurisdiction where, as a result thereof, the Partnership would become subject to general service of process or to taxation or qualification to do business as a foreign corporation or partnership doing business in such jurisdiction solely as a result of such registration, and (y) such documents as may be necessary to apply for listing or to list the Partnership Securities subject to such registration on such National Securities Exchange as the Holder shall reasonably request, and do any and all other acts and things that may reasonably be necessary or advisable to enable the Holder to consummate a public sale of such Partnership Securities in such states. Except as set forth in Section 7.12(c), all costs and expenses of any such registration and offering (other than the underwriting discounts and commissions) shall be paid by the Partnership, without reimbursement by the Holder.

(b) If the Partnership shall at any time propose to file a registration statement under the Securities Act for an offering of equity securities of the Partnership for cash (other than

an offering relating solely to an employee benefit plan), the Partnership shall use all reasonable efforts to include such number or amount of securities held by the Holder in such registration statement as the Holder shall request. If the proposed offering pursuant to this Section 7.12(b) shall be an underwritten offering, then, in the event that the managing underwriter or managing underwriters of such offering advise the Partnership and the Holder in writing that in their opinion the inclusion of all or some of the Holder’s Partnership Securities would adversely and materially affect the success of the offering, the Partnership shall include in such offering only that number or amount, if any, of securities held by the Holder which, in the opinion of the managing underwriter or managing underwriters, will not so adversely and materially affect the offering. Except as set forth in Section 7.12(c), all costs and expenses of any such registration and offering (other than the underwriting discounts and commissions) shall be paid by the Partnership, without reimbursement by the Holder.

(c) If underwriters are engaged in connection with any registration referred to in this Section 7.12, the Partnership shall provide indemnification, representations, covenants, opinions and other assurance to the underwriters in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such underwriters.

(d) The provisions of Section 7.12(a) and 7.12(b) shall continue to be applicable with respect to the General Partner (and any of the General Partner’s Affiliates) after it ceases to be a Partner of the Partnership, during a period of two years subsequent to the effective date of such cessation and for so long thereafter as is required for the Holder to sell all of the Partnership Securities with respect to which it has requested during such two-year period inclusion in a registration statement otherwise filed or that a registration statement be filed; provided, however, that the Partnership shall not be required to file successive registration

statements covering the same Partnership Securities for which registration was demanded during such two-year period. The provisions of Section 7.12(c) shall continue in effect thereafter.

By transfer of a Limited Partner Interest in accordance with Article IV, the transferor shall be deemed to have given the transferee the right to seek admission as a Substituted Limited Partner subject to the conditions of, and in the manner permitted under, this Agreement. A transferor of a Certificate representing a Limited Partner Interest, or other evidence of the issuance of uncertificated Units, shall, however, only have the authority to convey to a purchaser or other transferee (a) the right to negotiate such Certificate, or other evidence of the issuance of uncertificated Units, to a purchaser or other transferee and (b) the right to transfer the right to request admission as a Substituted Limited Partner to such purchaser or other transferee in respect of the transferred Limited Partner Interests.

Such Assignee shall become a Substituted Limited Partner (x) at such time as the General Partner consents thereto, which consent may be given or withheld in the General Partner’s discretion, and (y) when any such admission is shown on the books and records of the Partnership.

An Assignee shall have an interest in the Partnership equivalent to that of a Limited Partner with respect to allocations and distributions, including liquidating distributions, of the Partnership. With respect to voting rights attributable to Limited Partner Interests that are held by Assignees, the General Partner shall be deemed to be the Limited Partner with respect thereto and shall, in exercising the voting rights in respect of such Limited Partner Interests on any matter, vote such Limited Partner Interests at the written direction of the Assignee who is the Record Holder of such Limited Partner Interests. If no such written direction is received, such Limited Partner Interests will not be voted. An Assignee shall have no other rights of a Limited Partner.

Section 10.3 Admission of Successor General Partner .

A successor General Partner approved pursuant to Section 11.1 or 11.2 or the transferee of or successor to all of the General Partner Interest pursuant to Section 4.6 who is proposed to be admitted as a successor General Partner shall be admitted to the Partnership as the General Partner, effective immediately prior to the withdrawal or removal of the predecessor or transferring General Partner pursuant to Section 11.1 or 11.2 or the transfer of the General

Partner Interest pursuant to Section 4.6, provided, however, that no such successor shall be admitted to the Partnership until compliance with the terms of Section 4.6 has occurred and such successor has executed and delivered such other documents or instruments as may be required to effect such admission. Any such successor shall, subject to the terms hereof, carry on the business of the members of the Partnership Group without dissolution.

Section 10.4 Admission of Additional Limited Partners .

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 10.4, no Person shall be admitted as an Additional Limited Partner without the consent of the General Partner, which consent may be given or withheld in the General Partner’s discretion.

Section 10.5 Amendment of Agreement and Certificate of Limited Partnership .

(v) A final and non-appealable order of relief under Chapter 7 of the United States Bankruptcy Code is entered by a court with appropriate jurisdiction pursuant to a voluntary or involuntary petition by or against the General Partner; or

If an Event of Withdrawal specified in Section 11.1(a)(iv), (v) or (vi)(A), (B), (C) or (E) occurs, the withdrawing General Partner shall give notice to the Limited Partners within 30 days after such occurrence. The Partners hereby agree that only the Events of Withdrawal described in this Section 11.1 shall result in the withdrawal of the General Partner from the Partnership.

General Partner gives a notice of withdrawal pursuant to Section 11.1(a)(i), the holders of a Unit Majority, may, prior to the effective date of such withdrawal, elect a successor General Partner. The Person so elected as successor General Partner shall automatically become the successor general partner or managing member, as the case may be, of the other Group Members of which the General Partner is a general partner or a managing member. If, prior to the effective date of the General Partner’s withdrawal, a successor is not selected by the Unitholders as provided herein or the Partnership does not receive an Opinion of Counsel (“ Withdrawal Opinion of Counsel ”), the Partnership shall be dissolved in accordance with Section 12.1. Any successor General Partner elected in accordance with the terms of this Section 11.1 shall be subject to the provisions of Section 10.3.

Section 11.2 Removal of the General Partner .

The General Partner may be removed if such removal is approved by the Unitholders holding at least 66 2 / 3 % of the Outstanding Units (including Units held by the General Partner and its Affiliates). Any such action by such holders for removal of the General Partner must also provide for the election of a successor General Partner by the Unitholders holding a Unit Majority (including Units held by the General Partner and its Affiliates). Such removal shall be effective immediately following the admission of a successor General Partner pursuant to Section 10.3. The removal of the General Partner shall also automatically constitute the removal of the General Partner as general partner or managing member, as the case may be, of the other Group Members of which the General Partner is a general partner or a managing member. If a Person is elected as a successor General Partner in accordance with the terms of this Section 11.2, such Person shall, upon admission pursuant to Section 10.3, automatically become a successor general partner or managing member, as the case may be, of the other Group Members of which the General Partner is a general partner or a managing member. The right of the holders of Outstanding Units to remove the General Partner shall not exist or be exercised unless the Partnership has received an opinion opining as to the matters covered by a Withdrawal Opinion of Counsel. Any successor General Partner elected in accordance with the terms of this Section 11.2 shall be subject to the provisions of Section 10.3.

Section 11.3 Interest of Departing Partner and Successor General Partner .

(a) In the event of (i) withdrawal of the General Partner under circumstances where such withdrawal does not violate this Agreement or (ii) removal of the General Partner by the holders of Outstanding Units under circumstances where Cause does not exist, if a successor General Partner is elected in accordance with the terms of Section 11.1 or 11.2, the Departing Partner shall require its successor to purchase its General Partner Interest and its general partner interest (or equivalent interest) in the other Group Members, if any (collectively, the “ Combined Interest ”), in exchange for an amount in cash equal to the fair market value of such Combined Interest, such amount to be determined and payable as of the effective date of its departure. If the General Partner is removed by the Unitholders under circumstances where Cause exists or if the General Partner withdraws under circumstances where such withdrawal violates this Agreement and if a successor General Partner is elected in accordance with the terms of Section 11.1 or 11.2, such successor shall purchase the Combined Interest for such fair market value of such Combined Interest. In either event, the Departing Partner shall be entitled to receive all reimbursements due such Departing Partner pursuant to Section 7.4, including any employee-

related liabilities (including severance liabilities), incurred in connection with the termination of any employees employed by the General Partner for the benefit of the Partnership or the other Group Members.

For purposes of this Section 11.3(a), the fair market value of the Combined Interest shall be determined by agreement between the Departing Partner and its successor or, failing agreement within 30 days after the effective date of such Departing Partner’s departure, by an independent investment banking firm or other independent expert selected by the Departing Partner and its successor, which, in turn, may rely on other experts, and the determination of which shall be conclusive as to such matter. If such parties cannot agree upon one independent investment banking firm or other independent expert within 45 days after the effective date of such departure, then the Departing Partner shall designate an independent investment banking firm or other independent expert, the Departing Partner’s successor shall designate an independent investment banking firm or other independent expert, and such firms or experts shall mutually select a third independent investment banking firm or independent expert, which third independent investment banking firm or other independent expert shall determine the fair market value of the Combined Interest. In making its determination, such third independent investment banking firm or other independent expert may consider the then current trading price of Units on any National Securities Exchange on which Units are then listed, the value of the Partnership’s assets, the rights and obligations of the Departing Partner and other factors it may deem relevant.

(b) If the Combined Interest is not purchased in the manner set forth in Section 11.3(a), the Departing Partner (or its transferee) shall become a Limited Partner and its Combined Interest shall be converted into Common Units pursuant to a valuation made by an investment banking firm or other independent expert selected pursuant to Section 11.3(a), without reduction in such Partnership Interest (but subject to proportionate dilution by reason of the admission of its successor). Any successor General Partner shall indemnify the Departing Partner (or its transferee) as to all debts and liabilities of the Partnership arising on or after the date on which the Departing Partner (or its transferee) becomes a Limited Partner. For purposes of this Agreement, conversion of the Combined Interest to Common Units will be characterized as if the General Partner (or its transferee) contributed its Combined Interest to the Partnership in exchange for the newly issued Common Units.

Section 11.4 [Reserved]

Section 11.5 Withdrawal of Limited Partners .

No Limited Partner shall have any right to withdraw from the Partnership; provided, however, that when a transferee of a Limited Partner’s Limited Partner Interest becomes a Record Holder of the Limited Partner Interest so transferred, such transferring Limited Partner shall cease to be a Limited Partner with respect to the Limited Partner Interest so transferred.

Unless such an election is made within the applicable time period as set forth above, the Partnership shall conduct only activities necessary to wind up its affairs. If such an election is so made, then:

(i) the reconstituted Partnership shall continue until the end of the term set forth in Section 2.7 unless earlier dissolved in accordance with this Article XII;

(ii) if the successor General Partner is not the former General Partner, then the interest of the former General Partner shall be treated in the manner provided in Section 11.3; and

(iii) all necessary steps shall be taken to cancel this Agreement and the Certificate of Limited Partnership and to enter into and, as necessary, to file a new partnership agreement and certificate of limited partnership, and the successor general partner may for this purpose exercise the powers of attorney granted the General Partner pursuant to Section 2.6; provided, that the right of the holders of a Unit Majority to approve a successor General Partner and to reconstitute and to continue the business of the Partnership shall not exist and may not be exercised unless the Partnership has received an Opinion of Counsel that (x) the exercise of the right would not result in the loss of limited liability of any Limited Partner and (y) neither the Partnership, the reconstituted limited partnership nor an Operating Partnership would be treated as an association taxable as a corporation or otherwise be taxable as an entity for federal income tax purposes upon the exercise of such right to continue.

Section 12.3 Liquidator .

Upon dissolution of the Partnership, unless the Partnership is continued under an election to reconstitute and continue the Partnership pursuant to Section 12.2, the General Partner shall select one or more Persons to act as Liquidator. The Liquidator (if other than the General Partner) shall be entitled to receive such compensation for its services as may be approved by holders of a Unit Majority. The Liquidator (if other than the General Partner) shall agree not to resign at any time without 15 days’ prior notice and may be removed at any time, with or without cause, by notice of removal approved by holders of a Unit Majority. Upon dissolution, removal or resignation of the Liquidator, a successor and substitute Liquidator (who shall have and succeed to all rights, powers and duties of the original Liquidator) shall within 30 days thereafter be approved by holders of a Unit Majority. The right to approve a successor or substitute Liquidator in the manner provided herein shall be deemed to refer also to any such successor or substitute Liquidator approved in the manner herein provided. Except as expressly provided in this Article XII, the Liquidator approved in the manner provided herein shall have and may exercise, without further authorization or consent of any of the parties hereto, all of the powers conferred upon the General Partner under the terms of this Agreement (but subject to all of the applicable limitations, contractual and otherwise, upon the exercise of such powers, other than the limitation on sale set forth in Section 7.3(b)) to the extent necessary or desirable in the good faith judgment of the Liquidator to carry out the duties and functions of the Liquidator hereunder for and during such period of time as shall be reasonably required in the good faith judgment of the Liquidator to complete the winding up and liquidation of the Partnership as provided for herein.

(a) Disposition of Assets . The assets may be disposed of by public or private sale or by distribution in kind to one or more Partners on such terms as the Liquidator and such

Partner or Partners may agree. If any property is distributed in kind, the Partner receiving the property shall be deemed for purposes of Section 12.4(c) to have received cash equal to its fair market value; and contemporaneously therewith, appropriate cash distributions must be made to the other Partners. The Liquidator may, in its absolute discretion, defer liquidation or distribution of the Partnership’s assets for a reasonable time if it determines that an immediate sale or distribution of all or some of the Partnership’s assets would be impractical or would cause undue loss to the Partners. The Liquidator may, in its absolute discretion, distribute the Partnership’s assets, in whole or in part, in kind if it determines that a sale would be impractical or would cause undue loss to the Partners.

(b) Discharge of Liabilities . Liabilities of the Partnership include amounts owed to Partners otherwise than in respect of their distribution rights under Article VI. With respect to any liability that is contingent, conditional or unmatured or is otherwise not yet due and payable, the Liquidator shall either settle such claim for such amount as it thinks appropriate or establish a reserve of cash or other assets to provide for its payment. When paid, any unused portion of the reserve shall be distributed as additional liquidation proceeds.

(c) Liquidation Distributions . All property and all cash in excess of that required to discharge liabilities as provided in Section 12.4(b) and that required to satisfy the Capital Accounts relating to the Series A Preferred Units as provided for under Section 5.14(b)(xiii) shall be distributed to the Partners in accordance with, and to the extent of, the positive balances in their respective Capital Accounts, as determined after taking into account all Capital Account adjustments (other than those made by reason of distributions pursuant to this Section 12.4(c)) for the taxable year of the Partnership during which the liquidation of the Partnership occurs (with such date of occurrence being determined pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(g)), and such distribution shall be made by the end of such taxable year (or, if later, within 90 days after said date of such occurrence).

Section 12.5 Cancellation of Certificate of Limited Partnership .

Upon the completion of the distribution of Partnership cash and property as provided in Section 12.4 in connection with the liquidation of the Partnership, the Partnership shall be terminated and the Certificate of Limited Partnership and all qualifications of the Partnership as a foreign limited partnership in jurisdictions other than the State of Delaware shall be canceled and such other actions as may be necessary to terminate the Partnership shall be taken.

Section 12.6 Return of Contributions .

The General Partner shall not be personally liable for, and shall have no obligation to contribute or loan any monies or property to the Partnership to enable it to effectuate, the return of the Capital Contributions of the Limited Partners or Unitholders, or any portion thereof, it being expressly understood that any such return shall be made solely from Partnership assets.

Section 12.7 Waiver of Partition .

To the maximum extent permitted by law, each Partner hereby waives any right to partition of the Partnership property.

Section 12.8 Capital Account Restoration.

No Limited Partner shall have any obligation to restore any negative balance in its Capital Account upon liquidation of the Partnership. The General Partner shall be obligated to restore any negative balance in its Capital Account upon liquidation of its interest in the Partnership by the end of the taxable year of the Partnership during which such liquidation occurs, or, if later, within 90 days after the date of such liquidation.

All waivers and approvals shall be filed with the Partnership records or made a part of the minutes of the meeting. Attendance of a Limited Partner at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of the meeting, except when the Limited Partner attends the meeting for the express purpose of objecting, at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened; and except

that attendance at a meeting is not a waiver of any right to disapprove the consideration of matters required to be included in the notice of the meeting, but not so included, if the disapproval is expressly made at the meeting.

Section 13.9 Quorum; Required Vote for Limited Partner Action .

The holders of a majority of the Outstanding Limited Partner Interests of the class or classes for which a meeting has been called (including Limited Partner Interests deemed owned by the General Partner) represented, in person or by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at a meeting of Limited Partners of such class or classes unless any such action by the Limited Partners requires approval by holders of a greater percentage of such Limited Partner Interests, in which case the quorum shall be such greater percentage. At any meeting of the Limited Partners duly called and held in accordance with this Agreement at which a quorum is present, the act of Limited Partners holding Outstanding Limited Partner Interests that in the aggregate represent a majority of the Outstanding Limited Partner Interests entitled to vote and be present in person or by proxy at such meeting shall be deemed to constitute the act of all Limited Partners, unless a greater or different percentage is required with respect to such action under the provisions of this Agreement, in which case the act of the Limited Partners holding Outstanding Limited Partner Interests that in the aggregate represent at least such greater or different percentage shall be required. The Limited Partners present at a duly called or held meeting at which a quorum is present may continue to transact business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough Limited Partners to leave less than a quorum, if any action taken (other than adjournment) is approved by the required percentage of Outstanding Limited Partner Interests specified in this Agreement (including Limited Partner Interests deemed owned by the General Partner). In the absence of a quorum any meeting of Limited Partners may be adjourned from time to time by the affirmative vote of holders of at least a majority of the Outstanding Limited Partner Interests entitled to vote at such meeting (including Limited Partner Interests deemed owned by the General Partner) represented either in person or by proxy, but no other business may be transacted, except as provided in Section 13.7.

Section 13.10 Conduct of a Meeting .

The General Partner shall designate a Person to serve as chairman of any meeting and shall further designate a Person to take the minutes of any meeting. All minutes shall be kept with the records of the Partnership maintained by the General Partner. The General Partner may make such other regulations consistent with applicable law and this Agreement as it may deem advisable concerning the conduct of any meeting of the Limited Partners or solicitation of approvals in writing, including regulations in regard to the appointment of proxies, the appointment and duties of inspectors of votes and approvals, the submission and examination of proxies and other evidence of the right to vote, and the revocation of approvals in writing.

Section 13.11 Action Without a Meeting .

If authorized by the General Partner, any action that may be taken at a meeting of the Limited Partners (other than voting to direct the Partnership to vote its PAGP Class C Shares in the election of PAGP Eligible Directors pursuant to Section 13.4(c)) may be taken without a meeting, without a vote, if an approval in writing setting forth the action so taken is signed by Limited Partners owning not less than the minimum percentage of the Outstanding Limited Partner Interests (including Limited Partner Interests deemed owned by the General Partner) that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all the Limited Partners were present and voted (unless such provision conflicts with any rule, regulation, guideline or requirement of any National Securities Exchange on which the Limited Partner Interests are listed or admitted to trading, in which case the rule, regulation, guideline or requirement of such National Securities Exchange shall govern). Prompt notice of the taking of action without a meeting shall be given to the Limited Partners who have not approved in writing. The General Partner may specify that any written ballot submitted to Limited Partners for the purpose of taking any action without a meeting shall be returned to the Partnership within the time period, which shall be not less than 20 days, specified by the General Partner. If a ballot returned to the Partnership does not vote all of the Limited Partner Interests held by the Limited Partners the Partnership shall be deemed to have failed to receive a ballot for the Limited Partner Interests that were not voted. If approval of the taking of any action by the Limited Partners is solicited by any Person other than by or on behalf of the General Partner, the written approvals shall have no force and effect unless and until (a) they are deposited with the Partnership in care of the General Partner, (b) approvals sufficient to take the action proposed are dated as of a date not more than 90 days prior to the date sufficient approvals are deposited with the Partnership and (c) an Opinion of Counsel is delivered to the General Partner to the effect that the exercise of such right and the action proposed to be taken with respect to any particular matter (i) will not cause the Limited Partners to be deemed to be taking part in the management and control of the business and affairs of the Partnership so as to jeopardize the Limited Partners’ limited liability, and (ii) is otherwise permissible under the state statutes then governing the rights, duties and liabilities of the Partnership and the Partners.

Except for income taxes of PAGP and its subsidiaries (other than PAA and its subsidiaries), which will be paid solely and exclusively by PAGP or such applicable subsidiary from the funds of PAGP or such subsidiary, subject to the first sentence of this Section 2.1(a), to the extent any Party hereto other than PAA incurs or pays any direct or indirect expenses or expenditures on behalf of any such Party, PAA hereby agrees to reimburse such Party for such expenses and expenditures.

ARTICLE 3
AGREEMENTS RELATED TO GOVERNANCE

3.1 Issuance of PAGP Class C Shares . It is the intention of the Parties that the total number of PAGP Class C Shares that are issued by PAGP and reflected as outstanding on the books and records of PAGP shall at all times equal the sum of (x) the number of PAA Common Units outstanding and held by Persons other than AAP and (y) the number of Other PAA Voting Units outstanding and held by Persons other than AAP. It is also the intention of the Parties that all such issued and outstanding PAGP Class C Shares shall be held by PAA. Accordingly:

(b) In the event of any redemption of AAP Class A Units for PAA Common Units in accordance with Section 7.11 of the AAP Partnership Agreement, PAGP shall promptly issue a number of PAGP Class C Shares to PAA equal to the number of PAA Common Units distributed by AAP in redemption of such AAP Class A Units for no additional consideration. In the event of any other transfer of PAA Common Units by AAP or PAGP, which results in PAGP or AAP not directly or indirectly owning such PAA Common Units, PAGP shall promptly issue a number of PAGP Class C Shares to PAA equal to the number of PAA Common Units so transferred for no additional consideration.

(c) In the event of any repurchase, forfeiture or cancellation of any PAA Common Units or Other PAA Voting Unit (other than any PAA Common Units or Other PAA Voting Units held by AAP), then PAA shall promptly surrender to PAGP for cancellation a corresponding number of PAGP Class C Shares for no additional consideration.

(d) PAGP shall not, without the prior consent of PAA, issue to any Person other than PAA, any PAGP Class C Shares. PAA shall not, without the prior consent of PAGP, transfer to any Person any PAGP Class C Shares.

ARTICLE 4
AGREEMENTS RELATED TO ECONOMIC ALIGNMENT

4.1 Intention of the Parties . It is the intention of the Parties that (a) the total number of PAGP Class A Shares that are issued by PAGP and reflected as outstanding on the books and records of PAGP shall at all times equal the number of AAP Class A Units held by PAGP and its wholly owned subsidiaries and (b) the number of PAA Common Units held by AAP shall at all times equal the sum of (i) the total number of AAP Class A Units that are issued by AAP and reflected as outstanding on the books and records of AAP and (ii) the number of AAP Class A

Units that are issuable to the holders of AAP Vested Units and AAP Earned Units (upon vesting thereof) in connection with the conversion of such units pursuant to Section 7.10 of the AAP Partnership Agreement.

(i) AAP agrees to issue and sell to PAGP, and PAGP agrees to purchase from AAP, a number of AAP Class A Units equal to the number of PAGP Class A Shares sold in such PAGP Offering. The price to be paid by PAGP for the AAP Class A Units purchased in connection with the sale of PAGP Class A Shares in any PAGP Offering will be the net proceeds (after deducting underwriting or selling discounts or commissions and any other fees and expenses) received by PAGP for the sale of PAGP Class A Shares therein (such aggregate amount, the “ Offering Proceeds ”); and

(ii) Immediately following the purchase and sale of the AAP Class A Units in accordance with Section 4.2(a)(i), PAA agrees to issue and sell to AAP, and AAP agrees to purchase from PAA, a number of PAA Common Units equal to the number of AAP Class A Units sold in the purchase and sale contemplated by Section 4.2(a)(i). The price to be paid by AAP for the PAA Common Units purchased in connection with the sale of AAP Class A Units in accordance with Section 4.2(a)(i) will be the Offering Proceeds.

(b) Issuances of PAGP Class A Shares pursuant to Employee Benefit Plans . If PAGP (or PAGP GP on behalf of PAGP) makes any award of PAGP Class A Shares or Derivative Shares in connection with any Employee Benefit Plans:

(i) AAP agrees to issue and sell to PAGP, and PAGP agrees to purchase from AAP, upon the earlier of the issuance of any such PAGP Class A Shares or the exercise or vesting of such Derivative Shares, a number of AAP Class A Units equal to the number of PAGP Class A Shares issued pursuant to such award (after any applicable netting for tax withholding purposes), for such consideration, if any, received by PAGP from the recipient of any such award (the “ Award Consideration ”); and

(ii) Immediately following the issuance and sale of AAP Class A Units in accordance with Section 4.2(b)(i), PAA agrees to issue and sell to AAP, and AAP agrees to purchase from PAA, a number of PAA Common Units equal to the number of AAP Class A Units issued pursuant to Section 4.2(b)(i), for the applicable Award Consideration, if any.

(c) Issuances of AAP Class A Units upon AAP Class B Units becoming Earned; Forfeitures on Forfeiture of AAP Class B Units .

(i) If, after the date of this Agreement, any AAP Class B Unit issued and outstanding as of the date of this Agreement that is not an AAP Earned Unit as of the date of this Agreement becomes an AAP Earned Unit in accordance with the AAP Partnership Agreement, PAA shall issue to AAP a number of PAA Common Units equal to the product of

(x) the number of AAP Class B Units that have become AAP Earned Units multiplied by (y) the Stipulated Conversion Factor, for no additional consideration.

(ii) If, after the date of this Agreement, any AAP Class B Unit that is an AAP Earned Unit is forfeited pursuant to the terms of the applicable Class B Restricted Unit Agreement or otherwise cancelled by AAP (other than in connection with any conversion of such AAP Class B Units into AAP Class A Units in accordance with Section 7.10 of the AAP Partnership Agreement), then AAP shall promptly surrender to PAA for cancellation, for no additional consideration and effective as of the date of such forfeiture or cancellation, a number of PAA Common Units equal to the product of (x) the number of AAP Class B Units so forfeited or cancelled multiplied by (y) the Stipulated Conversion Factor.

4.3 Agreements with Respect to Future Debt Financing .

(a) In connection with any future incurrence of indebtedness by PAGP, as permitted by Section 7.6 of the PAA Partnership Agreement, PAGP may lend the proceeds of such indebtedness to AAP, which shall then lend the proceeds to PAA, in each case on substantially the same terms (including with respect to interest expenses and fees) as the terms on which PAGP incurred the indebtedness.

(b) In the event that PAGP elects to lend the proceeds of indebtedness it incurs in accordance with Section 4.3(a), PAA shall reimburse any fees and expenses incurred by PAGP and AAP in connection with the incurrence of such indebtedness; provided , however , that PAA’s reimbursement obligations to each of PAGP and AAP shall be net of amounts paid to PAGP by AAP, and to AAP by PAA, as fees and expenses (including interest expenses) of the borrowings in accordance with Section 4.3(a). PAA shall have no obligation pursuant to this Section 4.3(b) to reimburse (directly or through AAP) or otherwise bear any fees or expenses more than one time.

(c) PAA shall have no obligation pursuant to this Agreement (including Section 2.1) to reimburse the fees and expenses, including interest expenses, incurred by PAGP in connection with any indebtedness incurred by PAGP other than indebtedness incurred to fund loans to AAP and PAA in accordance with Section 4.3(a).

4.4 Agreements with Respect to Future Transfers of PAA Common Units by PAGP . PAGP shall not, and shall not permit any of its subsidiaries (including AAP) to, directly or indirectly transfer to any Person, any PAA Common Units if the effect of such transfer would be to decrease PAGP’s direct or indirect economic interest in such PAA Common Units unless, in connection with such transfer, PAGP promptly redeems a corresponding number of PAGP Class A Shares for the same consideration received by PAGP upon the transfer of such PAA Common Units. For the avoidance of doubt, any redemption of AAP Class A Units in exchange for PAA Common Units in accordance with Section 7.11 of the AAP Partnership Agreement shall not result in a decrease in PAGP’s direct or indirect economic interest in PAA Common Units and shall be permitted by this Section 4.4.

4.5 Agreements Related to Restrictions on AAP Redemptions . Until the first anniversary of the date of this Agreement, without the prior written consent of PAA, AAP shall
