Delaware limited liability company (the "Company").

        WHEREAS, the Executive is currently serving as Executive Chairman of
Pacific Energy GP, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("General Partner") pursuant to
an Employment Agreement dated October 1, 2002 (the "Employment Agreement"); and

        WHEREAS, on the Effective Date, General Partner converted into a

interests in General Partner, which shall then be converted into a Delaware
limited partnership; and

        WHEREAS, in connection with Buyer's purchase of General Partner, the
Company will, effective as of the Effective Date, assume all of General
Partner's rights and obligations under the Employment Agreement; and

        WHEREAS, the Company desires to effect a change in the Executive's role
with the Company, and the Executive has agreed to such change,

        NOW, THEREFORE, IN CONSIDERATION of the premises, the mutual promises,
covenants and agreements contained herein, and other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the
parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

        1.    Termination of Employment.    

        The Executive hereby resigns, effective as of the Effective Date, as
Executive Chairman of the Company and as an employee of the Company, and agrees
to execute such forms as the Company may reasonably request to effect such
resignation. The Executive and the Company are simultaneously executing a
release of claims against each other.

        2.    Consideration in Connection With Termination of Employment.    

        (a)   The Company shall pay Executive, by on or before March 8, 2005,
the following amounts:

        (i)    Thirty Two Thousand One Hundred and Seventy Three Dollars
($32,173) representing accrued but unused vacation,

        (ii)   Two Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($2,500) representing accrued
salary through March 3, 2005, and

        (iii)  Nine Hundred Thousand Dollars ($900,000) in satisfaction of the
Company's obligations under Section 5(c)(ii)(C) of the Employment Agreement.

        (b)   The Executive's rights in respect of 50,000 fully vested Options
to acquire Common Units, which he holds under the Pacific Energy GP, Inc. Long
Range Incentive Plan (the "Plan"), including any new securities for which or
into which such Options may be exchanged or converted, shall be as determined
under the terms of the Plan and under any plan applicable to any such new
securities.

        (c)   Commencing on the Effective Date, the Company shall reimburse
Executive for his cost of obtaining dental and life insurance benefits on terms
comparable to the terms of the Company's plans in effect on the Effective Date,
for a period ending on the earlier of (i) the second anniversary of the
Effective Date or (ii) the date the Executive becomes covered under similar
plans of a new employer. Commencing on the second anniversary of the Effective
Date, and assuming Executive has not commenced full time employment with a
subsequent employer and elects COBRA continuation coverage under the medical
benefits plan of The Anschutz Corporation, the Company shall reimburse Executive
for the cost of maintaining such COBRA Continuation Coverage for a period equal
to the lesser of (i) the period of such COBRA Continuation Coverage or
(ii) until the Executive commences full time employment with a new employer.

        (d)   The Executive shall be entitled to bonus for 2005, payable in
2006, under the terms of the Company's Incentive Compensation Plan as in effect
for 2005, calculated upon his base salary paid through the Effective Date.

with this Agreement, and the Consulting Agreement, or (ii) Ten Thousand Dollars
($10,000).

        (f)    The Company shall obtain and continue in full force and effect
appropriate director and officer liability insurance in such amounts and with
such terms and provisions as the Board shall determine in its sole discretion
(D&O Insurance). To the fullest extent permitted by the indemnification
provisions of the Company's governing instruments in effect as of the date of
this Agreement and the indemnification provisions of the governing laws of the
jurisdiction of the Company's formation in effect from time to time
(collectively the "Indemnification Provisions"), and in each case subject to the
conditions thereof, the Company shall (i) indemnify the Executive as a director
and officer of the Company or a subsidiary of the Company or a trustee or
fiduciary of an employee benefit plan of the Company or a subsidiary of the
Company, or, if the Executive shall be serving in such capacity at the Company's
request, as a director or officer of any other corporation (other than a
subsidiary of the Company) or as a trustee or fiduciary of an employee benefit
plan not sponsored by the Company or a subsidiary of the Company, against any
and all liabilities and reasonable expenses that may be incurred by the
Executive in any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding,
whether civil, criminal or administrative, or investigative and whether formal
or informal, because the Executive is or was a director or officer of the
Company, a director or officer of such other corporation or a trustee of such
employee benefit plan, and against which the Executive may be indemnified by the
Company, and (ii) pay for or reimburse the reasonable expenses incurred by the
Executive in the defense of any proceeding to which the Executive is a party
because the Executive is or was a director or officer of the Company, a director
or officer of such other corporation or a trustee or fiduciary of such employee
benefit plan. The rights of the Executive under the Indemnification Provisions
shall survive the termination of the employment of the Executive by the Company.

        (g)   The Parties shall agree on the language of the public announcement
of Executive's resignation and neither party shall thereafter make any public
statement inconsistent therewith.

        3.    Directorship.    

        Following the Effective Date, Executive shall continue as a
non-executive member of the Board of Directors, serving at the pleasure of the
member of the Company. During the period he serves in that capacity he shall be
entitled to remuneration as applicable to other non-executive members of the
Board, including without limitation restricted units, as per the Company's
policies in place from time to time.

        4.    Consultancy.    

        Concurrent with the execution of this agreement, the Company and the
Executive are entering into a consulting services agreement providing for the
provision of consulting services over a period of one year from the Effective
Date, or such longer period as may be mutually agreed between the parties.

        5.    Confidential Information.    

        The Executive shall not at any time use or disclose any secret,
confidential, and/or proprietary information, knowledge, or data relating to the

present and future, and their respective businesses, which shall have been
obtained by the Executive during his employment by, or provision of services to,
the Company, any of its subsidiaries or any of the other affiliates of the
Company and which shall not be or become public knowledge (other than by acts by
the Executive or his representatives in violation of this Agreement) provided
that the Executive may comply with legal process, so long as Executive gives
prompt notice to the Company of any required disclosure and reasonably
cooperates (without being required to incur any expense or subject himself to
sanction or penalty) with the Company if the Company determines to oppose,
challenge, or quash the legal process.

        6.    Nonsolicitation of Employees.    

        The Executive agrees that for a period of one (1) year following the
date of Executive's resignation or removal as a Director of the Company, he will
not, directly or indirectly, solicit on behalf of any entity any employee of the
Company, any of its subsidiaries or any of its other affiliates, present or
future (while an affiliate), who is being compensated at a rate of Fifty
Thousand Dollars ($50,000.00) or more per year as an employee of the Company,
any of its subsidiaries, or any of its other affiliates, present or future, to

Company, any of its subsidiaries or any other affiliate of the Company, present
or future. The Executive may give references with respect to such employees.
