ARTICLE 1

AMENDMENTS  

        Section 1.01.    The definition of "Change of Control" contained in Section 1.1 of the Indenture is hereby amended
and restated in its entirety to read as follows: 

        "Change of Control" means the occurrence of any of the following: 

        (1)   the
direct or indirect sale, lease, transfer, conveyance or other disposition (other than by way of merger or consolidation and not including any disposition to Lehman),
in one or a series of related transactions, of all or substantially all of the properties or assets (including Capital Stock of the Restricted Subsidiaries) of the Company and its Restricted
Subsidiaries taken as a whole, to any "person" (as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act), which occurrence is followed by a Rating Decline within 90 days of the
consummation of such transaction; 

        (2)   the
adoption of a plan relating to the liquidation or dissolution of the Company or the removal of the General Partner by the limited partners of the Company; 

 

        (3)   the
consummation of any transaction (including, without limitation, any merger or consolidation) the result of which is that any "person" (as that term is used in
Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act), excluding the Qualifying Owners identified in clause (1) of the definition of Qualifying Owners, becomes the Beneficial Owner, directly or
indirectly, of more than 50% of the Voting Stock of the General Partner, measured by voting power rather than number of shares, which occurrence is followed by a Rating Decline within 90 days
thereof; or 

        (4)   the
first day on which a majority of the members of the Board of Directors of the General Partner are not Continuing Directors, which occurrence is followed by a Rating
Decline within 90 days thereof. 

        Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Indenture, neither the Acquisition nor any of the transactions contemplated by the Acquisition Agreement, whether or not
followed by a rating decline within 90 days thereof, shall constitute a "Change of Control." 

        Section 1.02.    The definition of "Continuing Directors" contained in Section 1.1 of the Indenture is hereby
amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows: 

        "Continuing Directors" means, as of any date of determination, any member of the Board of Directors of the General Partner who: 

        (1)   was
a member of such Board of Directors on the close of business on the date of the closing of the Acquisition; or 

        (2)   was
nominated for election or elected to such Board of Directors with the approval of a majority of the Continuing Directors who were members of such Board at the time
of such nomination or election. 

        Section 1.03.    The definition of "General Partner" contained in Section 1.1 of the Indenture is hereby amended
and restated in its entirety to read as follows: 

        "General Partner" means Pacific Energy GP, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, its successor by conversion and its successors and
permitted assigns as general partner of the Company or as the business entity with the ultimate authority to manage the business and operations of the Company. 

        Section 1.04.    The definition of "Qualifying Owners" contained in Section 1.1 of the Indenture is hereby amended
and restated in its entirety to read as follows. 

        "Qualifying Owners" means (1) the significant owners of the ultimate parent company of the General Partner at the close of business
on the date of the closing of the Acquisition, including, without limitation, Lehman and its affiliates (together with any Affiliate transferees thereof); and (2) any transferee of any of the
foregoing to the extent such transferee is approved by a majority of the
ownership interests of the then-existing Qualifying Owners (other than the transferor) or any Affiliate of the foregoing. 

        Section 1.05.    Section 4.11(2)(b)(4) of the Indenture is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as
follows. 

        Section 4.11
Limitation on Transactions with Affiliates. 

        (b)   with
respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate consideration in excess of $50.0 million, a written
opinion as to the fairness to the Holders of such Affiliate Transaction from a financial point of view issued by an accounting, appraisal or investment banking firm of national standing. 

2

 

        The
following items will not be deemed to be Affiliate Transactions and, therefore, will not be subject to the provisions of the prior paragraph of this Section 4.11: 

        (4)   transactions
effective in accordance with the terms of (a) agreements disclosed in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2003 (including the exhibits thereto) that are also identified in Annex C to this Indenture, in each case as such agreements are in effect on the date of this Indenture, and any
amendment or replacement of any of such agreements so long as such amendment or replacement agreement is no less advantageous to the Company in any material respect than the agreement so amended or
replaced and (b) the Acquisition Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby. 

        Section 1.06.    Section 1.1 of the Indenture is hereby amended by adding the following: 

        "Acquisition" means the sale by The Anschutz Corporation of its 10,465,000 subordinated units representing a 34.6% limited partner
interest in the Company and the sale by PPS Holding Company of all of the outstanding common stock of Pacific Energy GP, Inc. to a new entity, LB Pacific, LP, formed by Lehman Brothers Merchant
Banking Group. 

        "Acquisition Agreement" means the agreement, dated October 29, 2004, by and among The Anschutz Corporation, PPS Holding Company and
Lehman, including any permitted assignees, as such agreement may be amended from time to time. 

        "PPS Holding Company" means PPS Holding Company, a Delaware corporation, and its successors. 

        "Lehman" means Lehman Brothers Inc., a Delaware corporation, its affiliates and related funds. 

        "LB Pacific, LP" means LB Pacific, LP, a Delaware limited partnership, its affiliates and related funds.
