EXHIBIT 10.13  

 
 

AMENDMENT TO
  EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT    
    

        WHEREAS, Breitburn Energy Company L.P. ("BECLP") and James G. Jackson (the "Executive") have entered into that
certain Employment Agreement dated July 7, 2006 (the "Agreement"); and 

        WHEREAS, the parties desire to amend the Agreement to provide for its adoption by Breitburn Management Company LLC ("Manageco"), Pro GP
Corp. and BreitBurn GP, LLC on the effective date of the initial public offering of common units of BreitBurn Energy Partners L.P. (the "MLP") (the "IPO Date"); 

        NOW, THEREFORE, the Agreement is amended effective as of the IPO Date as follows: 

	1.
	Notwithstanding
anything in Section 3(b)(iii)(A) of the Agreement to the contrary, the Executive's outstanding Performance Trust Units ("PTUs") granted under the BreitBurn
Energy Company L.P. Long Term Incentive Plan shall automatically and without any other action required to be taken on the part of BECLP, the MLP or the Executive be converted, effective on the IPO
Date, on a 50/50 basis into (i) restricted phantom MLP units having the same economic and other terms as his existing PTUs, but which on vesting may be settled in MLP units or
cash at the Executive's option, and (ii) restricted phantom BECLP units having the same economic and other terms as his existing PTUs (but without the "multiplier"), but which upon vesting may
be settled in cash or vested phantom BECLP units at the Executive's option (such converted awards being the "Phantom Options").

	2.
	Notwithstanding
anything in Section 3(a) of the Agreement to the contrary, during the Employment Period beginning on and following the IPO Date, the parties agree that the
Executive shall serve as the Chief Financial Officer of each of the following entities: BECLP, Pro GP Corp. (the general partner of BECLP), the MLP, Breitburn GP, LLC (the general partner of the MLP),
and Manageco. The parties intend for the provisions of this Amendment to amend Section 3(a) of the Agreement and otherwise to be construed as necessary to effectuate the foregoing intent;
however, nothing herein shall operate or be construed as providing the Executive with a duplication of any compensation or benefits from the Employers. The Boards of Directors of Pro GP Corp. and
Breitburn GP, LLC (or any successor in their capacity as the general partner of BECLP and the general partner of the MLP, as the case may be) and of Manageco shall use their best efforts to resolve
any ambiguities or conflicts as to their respective obligations to the Executive under the Agreement as hereby amended. The cost of the Executive's compensation and benefits shall be paid by Manageco
with the general partners of BECLP and the MLP reimbursing Manageco for their portion of such costs that are allocable to them on the basis of the Executive's estimated time devoted to the business of
each of them or on such other basis as the Employers may mutually agree, other than the Phantom Options, the costs of which shall be reimbursed by the entity with respect to which the award is made;
provided, however, that the foregoing shall not relieve BECLP, MLP or any of their respective affiliates of any liability or obligation they may have for the payment of any such amounts under the
terms of the Agreement in the event of nonpayment by Manageco.

	3.
	From
and after the IPO Date, each of BECLP, Pro GP Corp. (the general partner of BECLP), the MLP, Breitburn GP, LLC (the general partner of the MLP), and Manageco shall be deemed to be
a party to the Agreement and shall be jointly and severally liable for the performance of the obligations of the "Partnership" (as such term is defined in the Agreement) thereunder.

	4.
	The
terms and provisions set forth in this Amendment shall modify and supersede all inconsistent terms and provisions set forth in the Agreement and, except as expressly modified and
superseded by this Amendment, the terms and provisions set forth in the Agreement are hereby ratified and confirmed and shall continue in full force and effect. 

 

        Agreed

	"(c)

	(ii)

granted to a Grantee, the amounts payable and the Payment Dates shall be determined as follows:

	(1)
	a
cash amount equal to the Current Market Price multiplied by 1/3 of the number of the Incentive Units awarded pursuant to such Restricted Award shall be paid to the
Grantee on the first anniversary of the date upon which such Restricted Award is granted to the Grantee or such other date as may be specified by the Administrator and set forth in a written agreement
with the Grantee; and

	(2)
	a
cash amount equal to the Current Market Price multiplied by 1/2 of the remaining Incentive Units awarded pursuant to such Restricted Award, shall be paid to the
Grantee on the second anniversary of the date upon which such Restricted Award is granted to the Grantee or such other date as may be specified by the Administrator and set forth in a written
agreement with the Grantee; and

	(3)
	a
cash amount equal to the Current Market Price multiplied by the remaining Incentive Units awarded pursuant to such Restricted Award, shall be paid to the Grantee on the third
anniversary of the date upon which such Restricted Award is granted to the Grantee or such other date as may be specified by the Administrator and set forth in a written agreement with the Grantee;
provided, however, that;

	a.
	in
the event of any Takeover Bid Transaction prior to the Payment Date determined in accordance with the above provisions of this Section 5(c)(i), the Payment Date in respect of
such Restricted Awards that have not yet been paid as of such time shall be the earlier of (i) the Payment Date 

determined
in accordance with the above provisions, and (ii) the date which is immediately prior to the date upon which a Takeover Bid Transaction is completed; and 

	b.
	immediately
prior to each Payment Date, the number of Incentive Units upon which the amount of the Restricted Award is based shall be adjusted by multiplying such number by the

	(iii)
	Performance Awards ("PTU's")—Subject to the provisions of this Section 5, with respect to any Performance Award,
the cash amount payable shall be the Current Market Price multiplied by the number of Incentive Units awarded pursuant to the Performance Award, and the Payment Date shall be the third anniversary of
the date upon which such Performance Award is granted to the Grantee or such other date as may be specified by the Administrator and set forth in a written agreement with the Grantee; provided,
however, that:

	a.
	in
the event of any Takeover Bid Transaction prior to the Payment Date determined in accordance with the above provisions of this Section 5(c)(ii), the Payment Date in respect
of such Performance Awards that have not yet been paid as of such time shall be the earlier of (i) the Payment Date determined in accordance with the above provisions, and (ii) the date
which is immediately prior to the date upon which a Takeover Bid Transaction is completed; and

	b.
	immediately
prior to the Payment Date, the number of Incentive Units upon which the amount of the Performance Award is based shall be adjusted by multiplying such number by
(1) the Adjustment Ratio in effect as of the tenth trading day preceding such Payment Date and (2) the Payout Multiplier applicable to such Performance Award. 

Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Plan, but subject to the limits described in Sections 4 and 5(a) hereof and any other applicable requirements of any regulatory authority, the Board
hereby reserves the right to make any additional adjustments to the amounts payable pursuant to any Performance Award if, in the sole discretion of the Board, such adjustments are appropriate in the
circumstances having regard to the principal purposes of the Plan." 

        2.     Effective
as of June 28, 2006, Section 5(d)(ii) of the Plan is amended in its entirety to read as follows: 

	"(ii)
	Termination not for cause—If a Grantee ceases to be a Service Provider as a result of being terminated other than a
termination for cause,

	(2)
	effective
as of the date notice is given in respect of such termination (the "Notice Date") and notwithstanding any other severance
entitlements or entitlement to notice or compensation in lieu thereof, any amounts which would otherwise have become payable the Grantee under Performance Awards had the Grantee remained employed as a
Service Provider on the Payment Date as determined in Section 5(c)(ii) shall be adjusted downward and pro-rated based on the length of time the Grantee was employed as a
Service Provider during the vesting period commencing on the date of the grant of the Performance Award and ending on the third anniversary thereafter (or such other Payment Date as may be specified
by the Administrator and set forth in a written 

agreement
with respect to such Performance Award); and the Payment Date in respect of such pro-rated amount shall be the termination date. Subject to the foregoing, all rights to receive
any amounts under Performance Awards shall be forfeited by the Grantee, and the Grantee shall not be entitled to receive any Performance Awards or compensation in lieu thereof after the Notice Date;
and 

	(3)
	effective
as of the termination date, the Grantee shall be entitled to receive the pro-rated amount of any Restricted Award previously granted to the Grantee which would
otherwise have become payable to the Grantee during the year in which the Grantee ceased to be a Service Provider, pro-rated based on the length of time the Grantee was employed as a
Service Provider during the year in which that portion of the Restricted Award would otherwise have been payable to the Grantee, and the Payment Date in respect of such pro-rated amount
shall be the termination date. Subject to the foregoing, all rights to receive amounts under Restricted Awards shall be forfeited by the Grantee." 

        3.     Capitalized
terms used in this Amendment without definition shall have the respective meanings ascribed thereto in the Plan. 

        4.     Except
as otherwise expressly set forth in this Amendment, the Plan remains in full force and effect in accordance with its terms. 

        5.     This
Amendment shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws in force in the state of California, without regard to that state's
conflict-of-laws rules.

hereby certify that this Amendment was duly adopted by the Board on June 28, 2006.
