other good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties

repairs, insurance, assessments, utilities, operating and labor costs and other items that do not
constitute payments for property rights) during the remaining term of the lease included in such

equivalents (however designated) of capital stock, including, without limitation, with respect to

liabilities that by their terms are extendible or renewable at the option of the obligor thereon to
a time more than 12 months after the time as of which the amount thereof is being computed; and (b)
current maturities of long-term debt); and (2) the amount, net of any applicable reserves, of all
goodwill, trade names, trademarks, patents and other like intangible assets, all as set forth on
the consolidated balance sheet of the Partnership for its most recently completed fiscal quarter,
prepared in accordance with GAAP.



          “Debt” means any obligation created or assumed by any Person for the repayment of money
borrowed, any purchase money obligation created or assumed by such Person, and any guarantee of the
foregoing.

all Debt directly or indirectly renewable or extendible, at the option of the debtor, by its terms
or by the terms of any instrument or agreement relating thereto, to a date one year or more from

obligating the lender or lenders to extend credit over a period of one year or more.

Indenture, including all obligations under Article IX hereof.

indemnifications, reimbursement obligations, damages and other liabilities payable under the
documentation governing any Debt.



          “Pari Passu Debt” means any Funded Debt of either of the Issuers, whether outstanding on the
Issue Date or thereafter created, incurred or assumed, unless, in the case of any particular Funded
Debt, the instrument creating or evidencing the same or pursuant to which the same is outstanding
expressly provides that such Funded Debt shall be subordinated in right of payment to the Notes.



          “Partnership Agreement” means the Third Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership

knowledge the Issuers have kept, observed, performed and fulfilled each and every covenant

occurred, describing all such Defaults or Events of Default of which he or she may have knowledge
and what action the Issuers are taking or propose to take with respect thereto).



          (b) The Issuers shall, so long as any of the Notes are outstanding, deliver to the Trustee,
forthwith and in any event within five days upon any officer of an Issuer becoming aware of any
Default or Event of Default or an event which, with notice or the lapse of time or both, would
constitute an Event of Default, an Officers’ Certificate specifying such Default or Event of
Default and what action the Issuers are taking or propose to take with respect thereto.



          Section 5.02. Limitations on Liens. The Issuers will not, nor will they permit any Subsidiary of the Partnership to, create, assume,
incur or suffer to exist any Lien upon any Principal Property or upon any Capital Interests of any
Restricted Subsidiary, whether owned or leased on the Issue Date or thereafter acquired, to secure
any Debt of an Issuer or any other Person (other than Debt Securities), without in any such case
making effective provision whereby all of the Notes shall be secured equally and ratably with, or
prior to, such Debt so long as such Debt shall be so secured. This restriction shall not apply to:



          (a) Permitted Liens;



          (b) any Lien upon any property or assets created at the time of acquisition of such property
or assets by an Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary or within one year after such time to secure
all or a portion of the purchase price for such property or assets or Debt incurred to finance such
purchase price, whether such Debt was incurred prior to, at the time of or within one year after
the date of such acquisition;



          (c) any Lien upon any property or assets to secure all or part of the cost of construction,
development, repair or improvements thereon or to secure Debt incurred prior to, at the time of, or
within one year after completion of such construction, development, repair or
improvements or the commencement of full operations thereof (whichever is later), to provide
funds for any such purpose;



          (d) any Lien upon any property or assets existing thereon at the time of the acquisition
thereof by an Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary (whether or not the obligations secured thereby
are assumed by an Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary); provided, however, that such Lien only
encumbers the property or assets so acquired;



          (e) any Lien upon any property or assets of a Person existing thereon at the time such Person
becomes a Restricted Subsidiary by acquisition, merger or otherwise; provided, however, that such
Lien only encumbers the property or assets of such Person at the time such Person becomes a
Restricted Subsidiary;

          (f) any Lien upon any property or assets of an Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary in
existence on December 10, 2003 or provided for pursuant to agreements existing on December 10,
2003;



          (g) Liens imposed by law or order as a result of any proceeding before any court or regulatory
body that is being contested in good faith, and Liens which secure a judgment or other
court-ordered award or settlement as to which an Issuer or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary, as
the case may be, has not exhausted its appellate rights;



          (h) any extension, renewal, refinancing, refunding or replacement (or successive extensions,
renewals, refinancings, refundings or replacements) of Liens, in whole or in part, referred to in
clauses (a) through (g), inclusive, of this Section 5.02; provided, however, that any such
extension, renewal, refinancing, refunding or replacement Lien shall be limited to the property or
assets covered by the Lien extended, renewed, refinanced, refunded or replaced and that the
obligations secured by any such extension, renewal, refinancing, refunding or replacement Lien
shall be in an amount not greater than the amount of the obligations secured by the Lien extended,
renewed, refinanced, refunded or replaced and any expenses of the Issuers and the Restricted
Subsidiaries (including any premium) incurred in connection with such extension, renewal,
refinancing, refunding or replacement; or



          (i) any Lien resulting from the deposit of moneys or evidence of indebtedness in trust for the
purpose of defeasing Debt of an Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary.



          Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.02, the Issuers may, and may permit
any Restricted Subsidiary to, create, assume, incur or suffer to exist any Lien upon any Principal
Property or Capital Interests of a Restricted Subsidiary to secure Debt of an Issuer or any Person
(other than Debt Securities) that is not excepted by clauses (a) through (i), inclusive, of this
Section 5.02 without securing the Notes, provided that the aggregate principal amount of all Debt
then outstanding secured by such Lien and all other Liens not excepted by clauses (a) through (i),
inclusive, of this Section 5.02, together with all Attributable Indebtedness from Sale-leaseback
Transactions (excluding Sale-leaseback Transactions permitted by clauses (a) through (d),
inclusive, of Section 5.03), does not exceed 10% of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets.



          Section 5.03. Restriction of Sale-leaseback Transactions. The Issuers will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary of the Partnership to, engage in a
Sale-leaseback Transaction, unless:



          (a) such Sale-leaseback Transaction occurs within one year from the date of completion of the
acquisition of the Principal Property subject thereto or the date of the completion of
construction, development or substantial repair or improvement, or commencement of full operations
on such Principal Property, whichever is later;



          (b) the Sale-leaseback Transaction involves a lease for a period, including renewals, of not
more than three years;



10









 





          (c) the Attributable Indebtedness from that Sale-leaseback Transaction is an amount equal to
or less than the amount the Issuers or such Subsidiary would be allowed to incur as Debt secured by
a Lien on the Principal Property subject thereto without equally and ratably securing the Notes
under Section 5.02; or



          (d) the Issuers or such Subsidiary, within a one-year period after such Sale-leaseback
Transaction, applies or causes to be applied an amount not less than the net sale proceeds from
such Sale-leaseback Transaction to (A) the prepayment, repayment, redemption, reduction or
retirement of any Pari Passu Debt of an Issuer or any Subsidiary of the Partnership, or (B) the
expenditure or expenditures for Principal Property used or to be used in the ordinary course of
business of the Partnership or its Subsidiaries.



          Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.03, the Issuers may, and may permit
any Subsidiary of the Partnership to, effect any Sale-leaseback Transaction that is not excepted by
clauses (a) through (d), inclusive, of this Section 5.03, provided that the Attributable
Indebtedness from such Sale-leaseback Transaction, together with the aggregate principal amount of
then outstanding Debt (other than Debt Securities) secured by Liens upon Principal Properties not
excepted by clauses (a) through (i), inclusive, of Section 5.02, does not exceed 10% of
Consolidated Net Tangible Assets.



          Section 5.04. SEC Reports; Financial Statements.



          (a) Whether or not the Partnership is then subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13
or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, the Partnership shall electronically file with the Commission, so
long as the Notes are Outstanding, the annual, quarterly and other periodic reports that the
Partnership is required to file (or would otherwise be required to file) with the Commission
pursuant to Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act, and such documents shall be filed with the
Commission on or prior to the respective dates (the “Required Filing Dates”) by which the
Partnership is required to file (or would otherwise be required to file) such documents, unless, in
each case, such filings are not then permitted by the Commission.



          (b) If such filings are not then permitted by the Commission, or such filings are not
generally available on the Internet free of charge, the Issuers shall provide the Trustee with, and
the Trustee will mail to any Holder of Notes requesting in writing to the Trustee copies of, such
annual, quarterly and other periodic reports specified in Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act
within 15 days after the respective Required Filing Dates.



          (c) [Intentionally omitted.]



          (d) The Partnership shall provide the Trustee with a sufficient number of copies of all
reports and other documents and information that the Trustee may be required to deliver to Holders
of Notes under clause (b) of this Section 5.04.



          (e) Delivery of such reports, information and documents to the Trustee is for informational
purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of such shall not constitute constructive notice of any
information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein,



11









 







including the
Partnership’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled
to rely exclusively on Officers’ Certificates).



          Section 5.05. Additional Subsidiary Guarantees. If any Subsidiary (or its successor) of the Partnership that is not then a Subsidiary Guarantor
guarantees Debt of either of the Issuers or any other Subsidiary of the Partnership, in either case
after the Issue Date, then such Subsidiary (or successor) shall execute and deliver a supplemental
Indenture providing for the guarantee of the payment of the Notes pursuant to Article IX hereof.



ARTICLE VI

SUCCESSORS




          With respect to the Notes, the provisions of this Article VI shall preempt the provisions of
Article X of the Original Indenture in their entirety.



          Section 6.01. Consolidation and Mergers of the Issuers. Neither Issuer shall consolidate or amalgamate with or merge with or into any Person, or sell,
convey, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all its assets to any Person,
whether in a single transaction or a series of related transactions, except (1) in accordance with
the provisions of the Partnership Agreement, and (2) unless: (a) either (i) such Issuer shall be
the surviving Person in the case of a merger or (ii) the resulting, surviving or transferee Person
if other than such Issuer (the “Successor Company”) shall be a partnership, limited liability
company or corporation organized and existing under the laws of the United States, any state
thereof or the District of Columbia (provided that PAA Finance may not merge, amalgamate or
consolidate with or into another Person other than a corporation satisfying such requirement for so
long as the Partnership is not a corporation) and the Successor Company shall expressly assume, by
an indenture supplemental hereto, executed and delivered to the Trustee, in form reasonably
satisfactory to the Trustee, the due and punctual payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and
interest on all of the Notes, and the due and punctual performance or observance of all the other
obligations under the Indenture to be performed or observed by such Issuer; (b) immediately after
giving effect to such transaction or series of transactions, no Default or Event of Default would
occur or be continuing; (c) if such Issuer is not the continuing Person, then each Subsidiary
Guarantor, unless it has become the Successor Company, shall confirm that its Guarantee shall
continue to apply to the obligations under the Notes and the Indenture; and (d) such Issuer shall
have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that
such consolidation, amalgamation, merger, sale, conveyance, transfer, lease or other disposition
and such supplemental Indenture (if any) comply with this Section 6.01 and any other applicable
provisions of the Indenture.



          Section 6.02. Rights and Duties of Successor. In case of any consolidation, amalgamation or merger where an Issuer is not the continuing
Person, or disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of an Issuer in accordance with
Section 6.01, the Successor Company shall succeed to and be substituted for such Issuer with the
same effect as if it had been named herein as the respective party to the Indenture, and the
predecessor entity shall be released from all liabilities and obligations under the Indenture and
the Notes, except that no such release will occur in the case of a lease of all or substantially
all of an Issuer’s assets. In case of any such consolidation, amalgamation, merger, sale,
conveyance, transfer, lease or other



12









 







disposition, such changes in phraseology and form (but not in
substance) may be made in the Notes thereafter to be issued as may be appropriate.



          Section 6.03. Supplemental Indenture. Section 9.01 of the Original Indenture is hereby amended, with respect to the Notes, by adding
the words “or the confirmation of a Subsidiary Guarantor’s” immediately after the word “Issuer’s”
in Section 9.01(c).



ARTICLE VII

DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES




          Section 7.01. Events of Default. With respect to the Notes, the provisions of this Section 7.01 shall preempt the provisions of
the first and final paragraphs of Section 6.01 of the Original Indenture in their entirety.



          (a) An “Event of Default” occurs if:




     (i) the Issuers default for 60 days in the payment when due of interest on the
Notes;




     (ii) the Issuers default in the payment when due of principal of or premium, if
any, on the Notes at maturity, upon redemption or otherwise;




     (iii) failure by an Issuer or any Subsidiary Guarantor for 90 days after
receipt of notice by the Issuers from the Trustee or to the Issuers and the Trustee
by the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Notes then Outstanding to
comply with any other term, covenant or warranty in the Indenture or the Notes
(provided that notice need not be given, and an Event of Default shall
occur, 90 days after any breach of the provisions of Section 6.01 hereof);




     (iv) default under any mortgage, indenture or instrument under which there may
be issued or by which there may be secured or evidenced any Debt of an Issuer or any
of the Partnership’s Subsidiaries (or the payment of which is guaranteed by the
Partnership or any of its Subsidiaries), whether such Debt or guarantee now exists
or is created after the Issue Date, if that default (A) is caused by a failure to
pay principal of or premium, if any, or interest on such Debt prior to the
expiration of the grace period provided in such Debt (a “Payment Default”) or (B)
results in the acceleration of the maturity of such Debt to a date prior to its
originally stated maturity, and, in each case described in clause (A) or (B), the
principal amount of any such Debt, together with the principal amount of any other
such Debt under which there has been a Payment Default or the maturity of which has
been so accelerated, aggregates $25.0 million or more; provided,
further, that if any such default is cured or waived or any such
acceleration rescinded, or such Debt is repaid, within a period of 30 days from the
continuation of such default beyond the applicable grace period or the occurrence of
such acceleration, as the case may be, such Event of Default and any consequential
acceleration of the Notes shall be automatically rescinded, so long as such
rescission does not conflict with any judgment or decree;



13









 






     (v) except as permitted by the Indenture, any Guarantee shall cease for any
reason to be in full force and effect (except as otherwise provided in the
Indenture) or is declared null and void in a judicial proceeding or any Subsidiary
Guarantor, or any Person acting on behalf of any Subsidiary Guarantor, shall deny or
disaffirm its obligations under the Indenture or its Guarantee;




     (vi) an Issuer or any Subsidiary Guarantor pursuant to or within the meaning of
any Bankruptcy Law:




     (A) commences a voluntary case,




     (B) consents to the entry of an order for relief against it in an
involuntary case,




     (C) consents to the appointment of a custodian of it or for all or
substantially all of its property,




     (D) makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or




     (E) generally is not paying its debts as they become due; or




     (vii) a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order or decree under any
Bankruptcy Law that:




     (A) is for relief against an Issuer or any Subsidiary Guarantor in an
involuntary case;




     (B) appoints a custodian of an Issuer or any Subsidiary Guarantor or
for all or substantially all of the property of an Issuer or any Subsidiary
Guarantor; or




     (C) orders the liquidation of an Issuer or any Subsidiary Guarantor;



          and the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for 60 consecutive days.



          (b) In the case of an Event of Default arising from Section 7.01(a)(vi) or 7.01(a)(vii) hereof
involving an Issuer (and, for the avoidance of doubt, excluding any such Event of Default that
involves only one or more Subsidiary Guarantors), the principal amount of all Outstanding Notes and
interest thereon shall become due and payable immediately without further action or notice. If any
other Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in
principal amount of the then Outstanding Notes may declare the principal amount of all the Notes
and interest thereon to be due and payable immediately by a notice in writing to the Issuers (and
to the Trustee if given by the Holders) and upon any such declaration such principal amount and
interest thereon shall be due and payable immediately.

ARTICLE VIII

LEGAL DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE




          Section 8.01. Option to Effect Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. The Issuers may, at the option of the Boards of Directors evidenced by a Board Resolution set
forth in an Officers’ Certificate, at any time, elect to have either Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof be
applied to all outstanding Notes and Guarantees upon compliance with the conditions set forth below
in this Article VIII.



          Section 8.02. Legal Defeasance and Discharge. Upon the Issuers’ exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section
8.02, each of the Issuers and the Subsidiary Guarantors shall, subject to the satisfaction of the
conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, be deemed to have been discharged from its obligations
with respect to all outstanding Notes and Guarantees on the date the conditions set forth below are
satisfied (hereinafter, “Legal Defeasance”). For this purpose, Legal Defeasance means that each of
the Issuers shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire Debt represented by the
outstanding Notes, which shall thereafter be deemed to be “Outstanding” only for the purposes of
Section 8.05 hereof and the other Sections of the Indenture referred to in (a) and (b) below, and
to have satisfied all its other obligations under such Notes and the Indenture, and each of the
Subsidiary Guarantors shall be deemed to have discharged its obligations under its Guarantee (and
the Trustee, on demand of and at the expense of the Issuers, shall execute proper instruments
acknowledging the same), except for the following provisions which shall survive until otherwise
terminated or discharged hereunder:



          (a) the rights of Holders of Outstanding Notes to receive solely from the trust fund described
in Section 8.04 hereof, and as more fully set forth in such Section, payments in respect of the
principal of, premium on, if any, and interest on such Notes when such payments are due,



          (b) the Issuers’ obligations with respect to such Notes under Sections 2.07, 2.08, 2.09 and
4.02 of the Original Indenture,



          (c) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder and the
Issuers’ obligations in connection therewith,



          (d) this Article VIII, and



          (e) the Issuers’ rights of optional redemption under Section 4.01 hereof.



          Subject to compliance with this Article VIII, the Issuers may exercise their option under this
Section 8.02 notwithstanding the prior exercise of their option under Section 8.03 hereof.



          Section 8.03. Covenant Defeasance. Upon the Issuers’ exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section
8.03, each of the Issuers shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section
8.04 hereof, be released from its obligations under the covenants contained in Sections 5.02, 5.03,
5.04 and 5.05 hereof with respect to the Outstanding Notes on and after the date the conditions set
forth in Section 8.04 are satisfied



15









 







(hereinafter, “Covenant Defeasance”), and the Notes shall
thereafter be deemed not “Outstanding” for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or
declaration or act of Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in connection with such
covenants, but shall continue to be deemed “Outstanding” for all other purposes hereunder (it being
understood that such Notes shall not be deemed outstanding for accounting purposes). For this
purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the Outstanding Notes, the Issuers may
omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set
forth in any such covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere
herein to any such covenant or by reason of any reference in any such covenant to any other
provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply shall not constitute a
Default or an Event of Default under Section 7.01 hereof, but, except as specified above, the
remainder of the Indenture, the Guarantees and such Notes shall be unaffected thereby.



          Section 8.04. Conditions to Legal or Covenant Defeasance. The following shall be the conditions to the application of either Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof
to the Outstanding Notes:



          In order to exercise either Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance:



          (a) the Issuers must irrevocably deposit with the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the
Holders of the Notes, cash in Dollars, U.S. Government Obligations, or a combination thereof, in
such amounts as shall be sufficient, in the written opinion of a nationally
recognized firm of independent public accountants, to pay the principal of, premium on, if
any, and interest on the Outstanding Notes at the Stated Maturity thereof or on the applicable
redemption date, as the case may be, and the Issuers must specify whether the Notes are being
defeased to maturity or to a particular redemption date;



          (b) in the case of an election under Section 8.02 hereof, the Issuers shall have delivered to
the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel confirming that (i) the Issuers have received from, or there has
been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling or (ii) since the date of the Indenture,
there has been a change in the applicable federal income tax law, in either case to the effect
that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall confirm that, the Holders of the Outstanding
Notes shall not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such
Legal Defeasance and shall be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner
and at the same times as would have been the case if such Legal Defeasance had not occurred;



          (c) in the case of an election under Section 8.03 hereof, the Issuers shall have delivered to
the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel confirming that the Holders of the Outstanding Notes shall not
recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant
Defeasance and shall be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and
at the same times as would have been the case if such Covenant Defeasance had not occurred;



          (d) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing either (i) on the
date of such deposit (other than a Default or Event of Default resulting from the incurrence of
Debt all or a portion of the proceeds of which shall be applied to such deposit) or



16









 







(ii) insofar as
Section 7.01(a)(vi) or 7.01(a)(vii) hereof is concerned, at any time in the period ending on the
91st day after the date of deposit;



          (e) such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not result in a breach or violation of,
or constitute a default under, any agreement or instrument (other than the Notes and the Indenture)
to which the Partnership or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which the Partnership or any
of its Subsidiaries is bound;



          (f) the Issuers shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that
after the 91st day following the deposit, the trust funds shall not be subject to the effect of any
applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights
generally;



          (g) the Issuers shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that the
deposit was not made by the Issuers with the intent of preferring the Holders over any other
creditors of the Issuers or with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding any
other creditors of the Issuers; and



          (h) the Issuers shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of
Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent provided for or relating to the Legal
Defeasance or the Covenant Defeasance have been complied with.



          Section 8.05. Deposited Money and U.S. Government Obligations to be Held in Trust; Other
Miscellaneous Provisions. Subject to Section 8.06 hereof, all money and U.S. Government Obligations (including the
proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee, collectively for
purposes of this Section 8.05, the “Trustee”) pursuant to Section 8.04 hereof in respect of the
outstanding Notes shall be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the
provisions of such Notes and the Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any paying
agent (including an Issuer acting as paying agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of
such Notes of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal, premium, if any, and
interest, but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by
law.



          The Issuers shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed
on or assessed against the cash or U.S. Government Obligations deposited pursuant to Section 8.04
hereof or the principal and interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or
other charge which by law is for the account of the Holders of the Outstanding Notes.



          Anything in this Article VIII to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver or
pay to the Issuers from time to time upon the written request of the Issuers any money or U.S.
Government Obligations held by it as provided in Section 8.04 hereof which, in the opinion of a
nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification
thereof delivered to the Trustee (which may be the opinion delivered under Section 8.04(a) hereof),
are in excess of the amount thereof that would then be required to be deposited to effect an
equivalent Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.



17









 





          Section 8.06. Repayment to Issuers. Any money deposited with the Trustee or any paying agent, or then held by the Issuers, in trust
for the payment of the principal of, premium on, if any, or interest on any Note and remaining
unclaimed for two years after such principal, premium, if any, or interest has become due and
payable shall be paid to the Issuers on their written request or (if then held by the Issuers)
shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Note shall thereafter, as an unsecured
creditor, look only to the Issuers for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such
paying agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Issuers as trustee thereof,
shall thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Trustee or such paying agent,
before being required to make any such repayment, may at the expense of the Issuers cause to be
published once, in the New York Times and The Wall Street Journal (national edition), notice that
such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than
30 days from the date of such notification or publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then
remaining shall be repaid to the Issuers.



          Section 8.07. Reinstatement. If the Trustee or paying agent is unable to apply any Dollars or U.S. Government Obligations in
accordance with Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof, as the case may be, by reason of any order or
judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting
such application, then the Issuers’ obligations under the Indenture and the Notes and the
Subsidiary Guarantors’ obligations under the Guarantees shall be revived and reinstated as though
no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof until such time as the Trustee or
paying agent is permitted to apply all such money in accordance with Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof,
as the case may be; provided, however, that, if the Issuers make any payment of
principal of, premium on, if any, or interest on any Note following the reinstatement of their
obligations, the Issuers shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive
such payment from the money held by the Trustee or paying agent.



ARTICLE IX

SUBSIDIARY GUARANTEES




          Section 9.01. Subsidiary Guarantees. (a) Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby jointly and severally unconditionally and irrevocably
guarantees on a senior basis to each Holder and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns
(i) the full and punctual payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest with respect to, the
Notes when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, by redemption or otherwise, and all other
monetary obligations of the Issuers under the Indenture (including obligations to the Trustee) and
the Notes and (ii) the full and punctual performance within applicable grace periods of all other
obligations of the Issuers under the Indenture and the Notes (all the foregoing being hereinafter
collectively called the “Note Obligations”). Each Subsidiary Guarantor further agrees that the
Note Obligations may be extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without notice or further assent
from each such Subsidiary Guarantor, and that each such Subsidiary Guarantor shall remain bound
under this Article IX notwithstanding any extension or renewal of any Note Obligation.



          (b) Each Subsidiary Guarantor waives presentation to, demand of, payment from and protest to
the Issuers of any of the Note Obligations and also waives notice of protest



18









 







for nonpayment. Each
Subsidiary Guarantor waives notice of any Default or Event of Default under the Notes or the Note
Obligations. The obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder shall not be affected by
(i) the failure of any Holder or the Trustee to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right
or remedy against the Issuers or any other Person under the Indenture, the Notes or any other
agreement or otherwise; (ii) any extension or renewal of any thereof; (iii) any rescission, waiver,
amendment or modification of any of the terms or provisions of the Indenture, the Notes or any
other agreement; (iv) the release of any security held by any Holder or the Trustee for the Note
Obligations or any of them; (v) the failure of any Holder or Trustee to exercise any right or
remedy against any other guarantor of the Note Obligations; or (vi) any change in the ownership of
such Subsidiary Guarantor, except as provided in Section 9.02 hereof.



          (c) Each Subsidiary Guarantor further agrees that its Guarantee herein constitutes a guarantee
of payment, performance and compliance when due (and not a guarantee of collection) and waives any
right to require that any resort be had by any Holder or the Trustee to any security held for
payment of the Note Obligations.



          (d) The obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder shall not be subject to any
reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason other than indefeasible payment in
full of the Note Obligations, including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or
compromise, and shall not be subject to any defense of setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or
termination whatsoever or by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the Note
Obligations or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of
each Subsidiary Guarantor herein shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by the
failure of any Holder or the Trustee to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy under
the Indenture, the Notes or any other agreement, by any waiver or modification of any thereof, by
any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of the obligations, or by
any other act or thing or omission or delay to do any other act or thing which may or might in any
manner or to any extent vary the risk of any Subsidiary Guarantor or would otherwise operate as a
discharge of any Subsidiary Guarantor as a matter of law or equity.



          (e) Each Subsidiary Guarantor further agrees that its Guarantee herein shall continue to be
effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of
principal, premium, if any, or interest with respect to any Note Obligation is rescinded or must
otherwise be restored by any Holder or the Trustee upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of either
of the Issuers or otherwise.



          (f) In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right which any Holder
or the Trustee has at law or in equity against any Subsidiary Guarantor by virtue hereof, upon the
failure of the Issuers to pay the principal, premium, if any, or interest with respect to any Note
Obligation when and as the same shall become due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, by
redemption or otherwise, or to perform or comply with any other Note Obligation, each Subsidiary
Guarantor hereby promises to and shall forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, in cash, to the Holders
or the Trustee an amount equal to the sum of (i) the unpaid principal amount of such Note
Obligations, (ii) accrued and unpaid interest on such Note



19









 







Obligations (but only to the extent not
prohibited by law) and (iii) all other monetary Note Obligations of the Issuers to the Holders and
the Trustee.



          (g) Each Subsidiary Guarantor agrees that it shall not be entitled to any right of subrogation
in relation to the Holders in respect of any Note Obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in
full of all Note Obligations. Each Subsidiary Guarantor further agrees that, as between it, on the
one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (i) the maturity of the Note
Obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article VII hereof for the purposes
of any Subsidiary Guarantor’s Guarantee herein, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other
prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the Note Obligations guaranteed hereby, and
(ii) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article VII
hereof, such Note Obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and
payable by such Subsidiary Guarantor for the purposes of this Section 9.01.



          (h) Each Subsidiary Guarantor also agrees to pay any and all costs and expenses (including
reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Trustee or any Holder in enforcing any rights under
this Section 9.01.



          Section 9.02. Limitation on Liability. Any term or provision of the Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum, aggregate
amount of the Note Obligations guaranteed hereunder by any Subsidiary Guarantor shall not exceed
the maximum amount that, after giving effect to all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such
Subsidiary Guarantor and to any collections from or payments made by or on behalf of any other
Subsidiary Guarantor in respect of its obligations under its Guarantee, can be hereby guaranteed
without rendering the Indenture, as it relates to any Subsidiary Guarantor, voidable under
applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer.



          Section 9.03. Successors and Assigns. This Article IX shall be binding upon each Subsidiary Guarantor and, except as provided in
Section 9.07, its successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the successors and
assigns of the Trustee and the Holders and, in the event of any transfer or assignment of rights by
any Holder or the Trustee, the rights and privileges conferred upon that party in the Indenture and
in the Notes shall automatically extend to and be vested in such transferee or assignee, all
subject to the terms and conditions of the Indenture.



          Section 9.04. No Waiver. Neither a failure nor a delay on the part of either the Trustee or the Holders in exercising any
right, power or privilege under this Article IX shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall a
single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise of any right, power or
privilege. The rights, remedies and benefits of the Trustee and the Holders herein expressly
specified are cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights, remedies or benefits which either
may have under this Article IX at law, in equity, by statute or otherwise.



          Section 9.05. Modification. No modification, amendment or waiver of any provision of this Article IX, nor the consent to any
departure by any Subsidiary Guarantor therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same
shall be in writing and signed by the



20









 







Trustee, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective
only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice to or demand on any
Subsidiary Guarantor in any case shall entitle such Subsidiary Guarantor to any other or further
notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstances.



          Section 9.06. Execution of Supplemental Indenture for Future Subsidiary Guarantors. Each Subsidiary which is required to become a Subsidiary Guarantor pursuant to Section 5.05
hereof shall promptly execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental Indenture in substantially
the form of Exhibit B hereto pursuant to which such Subsidiary shall become a Subsidiary
Guarantor under this Article IX and shall guarantee the Note Obligations. Concurrently with the
execution and delivery of such supplemental Indenture, the Issuers shall deliver to the Trustee an
Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such supplemental Indenture has been duly authorized,
executed and delivered by such Subsidiary and that, subject to the application of bankruptcy,
insolvency, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance or transfer and other similar laws relating to
creditors’ rights generally and to the principles of equity, whether considered in a proceeding at
law or in equity, the Guarantee of such Subsidiary Guarantor is a legal, valid and binding
obligation of such Subsidiary Guarantor, enforceable against such Subsidiary Guarantor in
accordance with its terms.



          Section 9.07.
Release of Guarantee.  Provided that no Default shall have occurred and shall be continuing under the Indenture, the
Guarantee of a Subsidiary Guarantor under this Article IX shall terminate and be of no further
force and effect, and such Subsidiary Guarantor shall be released from the Indenture and all Note
Obligations, upon the following events:



          (a) upon any sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of such
Subsidiary Guarantor (including by way of merger, consolidation or otherwise) to any Person that is
not an Affiliate of either of the Issuers (provided such sale or other disposition is not
prohibited by the Indenture);



          (b) upon any sale or other disposition of all of the Equity Interests of a Subsidiary
Guarantor, to any Person that is not an Affiliate of either of the Issuers; or



          (c) following the release or discharge of all guarantees by such Subsidiary Guarantor of any
Debt of the Issuers and any Subsidiary of the Partnership (other than any Debt Securities), upon
delivery by the Issuers to the Trustee of a written notice of such release or discharge from the
guarantees.

          Capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture
referred to below unless otherwise indicated.




          1. Interest. Plains All American Pipeline, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the
“Partnership”), and PAA Finance Corp., a Delaware corporation (“PAA Finance” and, together with the
Partnership, the “Issuers”), jointly and severally promise to pay interest on the principal amount
of this Note at 5.75% per annum from September 4, 2009 until maturity. The Issuers shall pay
interest semi-annually on January 15 and July 15 of each such year, or if any such day is not a
Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day (each an “Interest Payment Date”). Interest on
the Notes shall accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest
has been paid, from the date of issuance. The first Interest Payment Date shall be January 15,
2010. The Issuers shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any
Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal and premium, if any, from time to time on demand at a rate
that is 1% per annum in excess of the rate then in effect; and they shall pay interest (including
post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue installments of
interest (without regard to any applicable grace periods) from time to time on demand at the same
rate to the extent lawful. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve
30-day months.




          2. Method of Payment. The Issuers shall pay interest on the Notes (except defaulted
interest) to the Persons who are registered Holders of Notes at the close of business on the
January 1 or July 1 next preceding the Interest Payment Date, even if such Notes are canceled after
such record date and on or before such Interest Payment Date, except as provided in Section 2.17 of
the Original Indenture with respect to defaulted interest, and the Issuers shall pay principal (and
premium, if any) of the Notes upon surrender thereof to the Trustee or a paying agent on or after
the Stated Maturity thereof. The Notes shall be payable as to principal,

form.

premium, if any, and interest at the office or agency of the Trustee maintained for such
purpose within or without The City and State of New York, or, at the option of the Issuers, payment
of interest may be made by check mailed to the Holders at their addresses set forth in the register
of Holders, and provided that payment by wire transfer of immediately available funds shall
be required with respect to principal of and interest and premium, if any, on, each Global
Security and all other Notes the Holders of which shall have provided wire transfer instructions to
the Issuers or the paying agent on or prior to the applicable record date. Such payment shall be
in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender
for payment of public and private debts.




          3. Paying Agent and Registrar. Initially, U.S. Bank National Association, the Trustee
under the Indenture, shall act as paying agent and Registrar. The Issuers may change any paying
agent or Registrar without notice to any Holder. The Issuers or any of their Subsidiaries may act
in any such capacity.




          4. Indenture. The Issuers issued the Notes under an Indenture dated as of
September 25, 2002 (the “Original Indenture”), as supplemented by the Seventeenth Supplemental
Indenture dated as of September 4, 2009 (the “Supplemental Indenture” and, together with the
Original Indenture, the “Indenture”) among the Issuers and the Trustee and, with respect to the
Supplemental Indenture, the subsidiary guarantors signatory thereto (the “Subsidiary Guarantors”).
The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture
by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (15 U.S. Code §§ 77aaa-77bbbb).
The Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and such Act for
a statement of such terms. To the extent any provision of this Note conflicts with the express
provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall govern and be controlling.
The Notes are joint and several obligations of the Issuers initially in aggregate principal amount
of $500 million. The Issuers may issue an unlimited aggregate principal amount of Additional Notes
under the Indenture. Any such Additional Notes that are actually issued shall be treated as issued
and outstanding Notes (and as the same series (with identical terms other than with respect to the
issue date, the date of first payment of interest, if applicable, and the payment of interest
accruing prior to the issue date) as the initial Notes) for all purposes of the Indenture,
including waivers, amendments, redemptions and offers to purchase. To secure the due and punctual
payment of the principal and interest on the Notes and all other amounts payable by the Issuers
under the Indenture and the Notes when and as the same shall be due and payable, whether at
maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, according to the terms of the Notes and the Indenture, the
Subsidiary Guarantors have unconditionally guaranteed the Note Obligations under the Indenture and
the Notes on a senior basis pursuant to the terms of the Indenture.




          5. Optional Redemption.





     (a) At their option at any time prior to maturity, the Issuers may choose to redeem
all or any portion of the Notes at once or from time to time.



          (b) To redeem the Notes, the Issuers must pay a redemption price equal to the greater of (a)
100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, and
(b) as determined by the Quotation Agent (as defined below), the sum of the present values of the remaining




A-3









 




scheduled payments of principal and interest on the Notes to be redeemed (not including any portion
of those payments of interest accrued as of the date of redemption) discounted to the date of
redemption on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at
the Adjusted Treasury Rate (as defined below) plus 35 basis points, plus, in either case, accrued
and unpaid interest to the date of redemption (subject to the right of Holders on the relevant
record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date).




          For purposes of determining any redemption price, the following definitions shall apply:




          “Adjusted Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any date of redemption, the rate per annum
equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue, assuming a
price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal
to the Comparable Treasury Price for the date of redemption.




          “Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security selected by the
Quotation Agent as having a maturity comparable to the remaining term of the Notes to be redeemed
that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial
practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the
remaining term of the Notes.




          “Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any date of redemption, (a) the average of
the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for the date of redemption, after excluding the highest
and lowest Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (b) if the Trustee obtains fewer than four
Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations.




          “Quotation Agent” means a Primary Treasury Dealer (as defined below) selected by Wells Fargo
Securities, LLC or another Reference Treasury Dealer appointed by the Issuers.




          “Reference Treasury Dealer” means each of Citigroup Global Markets Inc., UBS Securities LLC, a
Primary Treasury Dealer (as defined below) selected by Wells Fargo Securities, LLC and one other
dealer selected by the Issuers that is a Primary Treasury Dealer and each of their successors;
provided, however, that if any of the foregoing shall cease to be a primary U.S. government
securities dealer in the United States (a “Primary Treasury Dealer”), the Issuers shall substitute
another Primary Treasury Dealer.




          “Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer
and any date of redemption, the average, as determined by the Trustee, of the bid and asked prices
for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount)
quoted in writing to the Trustee by that Reference Treasury Dealer at 5:00 p.m., New York City
time, on the third business day preceding that date of redemption.




          6. Notice of Redemption. Notice of redemption shall be mailed at least 30 days but
not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder whose Notes are to be
redeemed at its registered address. Notes in denominations larger than $2,000 may be redeemed
in part but only in whole multiples of $1,000, unless all of the Notes held by a Holder are to be



A-4









 






redeemed. Unless the Issuers default in payment of the redemption price, on and after the
redemption date interest ceases to accrue on Notes or portions thereof called for redemption.




          7. Denominations, Transfer, Exchange. The Notes are in registered form without
coupons in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000. The transfer of Notes
may be registered and Notes may be exchanged as provided in the Indenture. The Registrar and the
Trustee may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer
documents and the Issuers may require a Holder to pay any taxes or other governmental charges
required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Issuers need not exchange or register the
transfer of any Note or portion of a Note selected for redemption or repurchase, except for the
unredeemed or unrepurchased portion of any Note being redeemed or repurchased in part. Also, the
Issuers need not exchange or register the transfer of any Notes for a period of 15 days before a
selection of Notes to be redeemed or repurchased or during the period between a record date and the
corresponding Interest Payment Date.




          8. Persons Deemed Owners. The registered Holder of a Note shall be treated as its
owner for all purposes.




          9. Amendment, Supplement and Waiver. Subject to certain exceptions, the Indenture or
the Notes may be amended or supplemented with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the then Outstanding Notes, and any existing default or compliance with any
provision of the Indenture or the Notes may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority
in aggregate principal amount of the then Outstanding Notes. Without the consent of any Holder of
a Note, the Indenture or the Notes may be amended or supplemented for any of the purposes set forth
in Section 9.01 of the Original Indenture (as amended by the Supplemental Indenture), including to
cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency, to provide for the assumption of an Issuer’s
obligations to Holders of the Notes in case of a merger or consolidation of such Issuer or sale of
all or substantially all of such Issuer’s assets, to add or release Subsidiary Guarantors (or their
successors) pursuant to the terms of the Indenture, to make any change that would provide any
additional rights or benefits to the Holders of the Notes or that does not adversely affect the
legal rights under the Indenture of any Holder of the Notes, to comply with the requirements of the
Commission to permit the qualification of the Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act, to evidence
or provide for the acceptance of appointment under the Indenture of a successor Trustee, to add any
additional Events of Default, to secure the Notes or the Guarantees or to establish the form or
terms of any other series of Debt Securities.




          10. Defaults and Remedies. Events of Default with respect to the Notes include:
(i) default for 60 days in the payment when due of interest on the Notes; (ii) default in payment
when due of principal of or premium, if any, on the Notes at maturity, upon redemption or
otherwise, (iii) failure by an Issuer or any Subsidiary Guarantor for 90 days after notice to
comply with any of the other agreements in the Indenture (provided that notice need not be
given, and an Event of Default shall occur, 90 days after any breach of the provisions of Section
6.01 of the Supplemental Indenture); (iv) default under any mortgage, indenture or instrument under
which there may be issued or by which there may be secured or evidenced any Debt of an Issuer or
any
of the Partnership’s Subsidiaries (or the payment of which is guaranteed by the



A-5









 






Partnership or
any of its Subsidiaries), whether such Debt or guarantee now exists or is created after the Issue
Date, if that default (a) is caused by a failure to pay principal of or premium, if any, or
interest on such Debt prior to the expiration of the grace period provided in such Debt (a “Payment
Default”) or (b) results in the acceleration of the maturity of such Debt to a date prior to its
original stated maturity, and, in each case described in clause (a) or (b), the principal amount of
any such Debt, together with the principal amount of any other such Debt under which there has been
a Payment Default or the maturity of which has been so accelerated, aggregates $25.0 million or
more, subject to the proviso set forth in Section 7.01(a)(iv) of the Supplemental Indenture; (v)
except as permitted by the Indenture, any Guarantee shall cease for any reason to be in full force
and effect (except as otherwise provided in the Indenture) or is declared null and void in a
judicial proceeding or any Subsidiary Guarantor, or any Person acting on behalf of any Subsidiary
Guarantor, shall deny or disaffirm its obligations under the Indenture or its Guarantee and (vi)
certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency with respect to an Issuer or any of the Subsidiary
Guarantors. If any Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at
least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then Outstanding Notes may declare all the Notes to
be due and payable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Event of Default arising from
certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency involving an Issuer, but not any Subsidiary Guarantor,
all Outstanding Notes shall become due and payable without further action or notice. Holders may
not enforce the Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the Indenture. Subject to certain
limitations, Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then Outstanding Notes may
direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. If and so long as the board of
directors, an executive committee of the board of directors or trust committee of Responsible
Officers of the Trustee in good faith so determines, the Trustee may withhold from Holders of the
Notes notice of any continuing Default (except a Default relating to the payment of principal,
premium, if any, or interest) if it determines that withholding notice is in their interests. The
Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then Outstanding by notice to the
Trustee may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes waive any past Default or Event of Default
and its consequences under the Indenture except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the
payment of interest on, the principal of, or premium, if any, on the Notes or any other Default
specified in Section 6.06 of the Original Indenture. The Issuers and the Subsidiary Guarantors are
required to deliver to the Trustee annually a statement regarding compliance with the Indenture,
and the Issuers are required upon becoming aware of any Default or Event of Default, to deliver to
the Trustee a statement specifying such Default or Event of Default.




          11. Trustee Dealings with Issuers. The Trustee, in its individual or any other
capacity, may make loans to, accept deposits from, and perform services for the Issuers or their
Affiliates, and may otherwise deal with the Issuers or their Affiliates, as if it were not the
Trustee.




          12. No Recourse Against Others. The General Partner and its directors, officers,
employees and members (in their capacities as such) shall not have any liability for any
obligations of the Issuers under the Notes. In addition, the Managing General Partner and its
directors, officers, employees and members shall not have any liability for any obligations of the
Issuers under the Notes. Each Holder of Notes by accepting a Note waives and releases all
such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Notes.

          13. Authentication. This Note shall not be valid until authenticated by the manual
signature of the Trustee or an authenticating agent.




          14. Abbreviations. Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of a Holder or an
assignee, such as: TEN COM (= tenants in common), TEN ENT (= tenants by the entireties), JT TEN (=
joint tenants with right of survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUST (= Custodian), and
U/G/M/A (= Uniform Gifts to Minors Act).




          15. CUSIP and ISIN Numbers. Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee
on Uniform Security Identification Procedures, the Issuers have caused CUSIP and corresponding ISIN
numbers to be printed on the Notes, and the Trustee may use CUSIP and corresponding ISIN numbers in
notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders. No representation is made as to the accuracy of
such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of redemption and
reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers placed thereon.




          The Issuers shall furnish to any Holder upon written request and without charge a copy of the
Indenture. Requests may be made to:
