AND WARRANTIES OF BREITBURN

BreitBurn represents and warrants to the Purchasers,

limited liability company, as applicable, duly organized, validly existing and
in good standing under the Laws of the state or other jurisdiction of its incorporation
or organization; (ii) has all requisite power and authority, and has all
material governmental licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals,
necessary to own, lease, use and operate its Properties and carry on its
business as its business is now being conducted as described in the BreitBurn
SEC Documents and as will be conducted following the BEP Acquisition, except
where the failure to obtain such licenses, authorizations, consents and
approvals would not reasonably be expected to have a BreitBurn Material Adverse
Effect.  None of BreitBurn or any of its
Subsidiaries are in default in the performance, observance or fulfillment of
any provision of, in the case of BreitBurn, the Partnership Agreement or its
Certificate of Limited Partnership or, in the case of any Subsidiary of
BreitBurn, its respective certificate of incorporation, certificate of
formation, bylaws, limited liability company agreement, limited partnership
agreement or other similar organizational documents.  Each of BreitBurn and its Subsidiaries is
duly qualified or licensed and in good standing as a foreign limited
partnership, limited liability company or corporation, as applicable, and is
authorized to

 6
 

do business in
each jurisdiction in which the ownership or leasing of its respective
Properties or the character of its respective operations makes such
qualification necessary, except where the failure to obtain such qualification,
license, authorization or good standing would not reasonably be expected to
have a BreitBurn Material Adverse Effect.

Section 3.2             Capitalization and Valid Issuance of Purchased Units.

(a)           The
Purchased Units shall have those rights, preferences, privileges and
restrictions governing the Common Units as set forth in the Partnership

LP Act”).  All general partner
interests of BreitBurn have been duly authorized and validly issued in

any matters on which the Unitholders may vote are issued or outstanding.  Except as set forth in the first sentence of
this Section 3.2(c), as contemplated by this Agreement, as are contained in the
Partnership Agreement, there are no outstanding or authorized (i) options,
warrants, preemptive rights, subscriptions, calls or other rights, convertible or
exchangeable securities, agreements, claims or commitments of any character
obligating BreitBurn or any of its Subsidiaries to issue, transfer or sell any partnership
interests or other equity interests in BreitBurn or any of its Subsidiaries or
securities convertible into or exchangeable for such partnership interests,
(ii) obligations of BreitBurn or any of its Subsidiaries to repurchase, redeem
or otherwise acquire any partnership interests or equity interests in BreitBurn
or any of its Subsidiaries or any such securities or agreements listed in
clause (i) of this sentence or (iii) voting trusts or similar agreements to
which BreitBurn or any of its Subsidiaries is a party with respect to the
voting of the equity interests of BreitBurn or any of its Subsidiaries.

(d)           (i)

Subsidiaries are owned, directly or indirectly, by BreitBurn free and clear of
any Liens (except for such restrictions as may exist under applicable Law and
except for such Liens as may be imposed under the BreitBurn Credit Facility)
and all such ownership interests have been duly authorized, validly issued and
are fully paid (to the extent required by applicable Law or in the organizational
documents of BreitBurn’s Subsidiaries, as applicable) and nonassessable (except

 7
 

as nonassessability may be affected by matters described in Sections
17-303, 17-607 and 17-804 of the Delaware LP Act and Sections 18-607 and 18-804
of the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act (the “Delaware LLC Act”)) and,

of such indebtedness as is contemplated in connection with the BEP Acquisition).

Documents, there is no Action pending or, to the knowledge of BreitBurn,
threatened against the General Partner, BreitBurn or any of its Subsidiaries or
any of their respective officers, directors or Properties, as applicable, that
(a) questions the validity of this Agreement or the Registration Rights
Agreement or the right of BreitBurn to enter into this Agreement or the
Registration Rights Agreement or to consummate the transactions contemplated
hereby and thereby or (b) (individually or in the aggregate) would reasonably
be expected to result in a BreitBurn Material Adverse Effect.

Section 3.7             No Breach.  The execution, delivery and performance by the
BreitBurn Parties of the Basic Documents to which they are parties and
compliance by the BreitBurn Parties with the terms and provisions hereof and
thereof, and the issuance and sale by BreitBurn of the Purchased Units, do not
and will not (a) assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties of
the Purchasers contained herein and their compliance with the covenants
contained herein, violate any provisions of any Law, governmental permit,
determination or award having applicability to BreitBurn or any of its
Subsidiaries or any of their respective Properties, (b) conflict with or result
in a violation or breach of any provision of the certificate of limited
partnership or the other organizational documents of BreitBurn or organizational
documents of any of BreitBurn’s Subsidiaries, (c) require any consent, approval
or notice under or result in a violation or breach of or constitute (with or
without due notice or lapse of time or both) a default (or give rise to any
right of termination, cancellation or acceleration) under any contract,

 9
 

agreement,
instrument, obligation, note, bond, mortgage, license, or loan or credit
agreement to which BreitBurn or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which BreitBurn
or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective Properties may be bound,
or (d) result in or require the creation or imposition of any Lien upon or with
respect to any of the Properties now owned or hereafter acquired by BreitBurn
or any of its Subsidiaries, except in the cases of clauses (a), (c) and (d)
where any such violation, default, breach, termination, cancellation, failure
to receive consent approval or notice, or acceleration with respect to the
foregoing provisions of this Section 3.7 would not, individually or in the
aggregate, reasonably likely to result in a BreitBurn Material Adverse Effect.

Section 3.8             Authority.  Each BreitBurn Party has all necessary power
and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the Basic
Documents; and the execution, delivery and performance by each BreitBurn Party of
the Basic Documents has been duly authorized by all necessary action on its
part; and the Basic Documents constitute the legal, valid and binding
obligations of the BreitBurn Parties that are parties thereto, enforceable in
accordance with their terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by
bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer and similar laws affecting
creditors’ rights generally or by general principles of equity including
principles of commercial reasonableness, fair dealing and good faith.  No approval from the holders of the Common
Units is required in connection with BreitBurn’s issuance and sale of the Purchased
Units to the Purchasers.

Section 3.9             Compliance with Laws.  Neither BreitBurn nor any of its Subsidiaries
is in violation of any judgment, decree or order or any Law applicable to
BreitBurn or its Subsidiaries, except as would not, individually or in the
aggregate, have a BreitBurn Material Adverse Effect.  BreitBurn and its Subsidiaries possess all
certificates, authorizations and permits issued by the appropriate regulatory
authorities necessary to conduct their respective businesses, except where the
failure to possess such certificates, authorizations or permits would not have,
individually or in the aggregate, a BreitBurn Material Adverse Effect, and
neither BreitBurn nor any such Subsidiary has received any notice of
proceedings relating to the revocation or modification of any such certificate,
authorization or permit, except where such potential revocation or modification
would not have, individually or in the aggregate, a BreitBurn Material Adverse
Effect.  Neither BreitBurn, nor any of
its Subsidiaries, nor any director, officer, agent, employee or other person
acting on behalf of BreitBurn or any of its Subsidiaries has, in the course of
its actions for, or on behalf of, BreitBurn or any of its Subsidiaries (i) used
any corporate funds for any unlawful contribution, gift, entertainment or other
unlawful expenses relating to political activity; (ii) made any direct or
indirect unlawful payment to any foreign or domestic government official or
employee from corporate funds; (iii) violated or is in violation of any
provision of the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended; or
(iv) made any unlawful bribe, rebate, payoff, influence payment, kickback or
other unlawful payment to any foreign or domestic government official or
employee.

Section 3.10           Approvals.  Except as contemplated by this Agreement or as
required by the Commission in connection with BreitBurn’s obligations under the
Registration Rights Agreement, no authorization, consent, approval, waiver,
license, qualification or written exemption from, nor any filing, declaration,
qualification or registration with, any Governmental Authority or any other
Person is required in connection with the execution, delivery or performance by
any BreitBurn Party of any of the Basic Documents to which it is a party,
except

 10
 

(i) for such
consents, approvals and waivers as have been obtained or, in the case of the BEP
Purchase Agreement, will be obtained by closing, or (ii) where the failure to
receive such authorization, consent, approval, waiver, license, qualification
or written exemption from, or to make such filing, declaration, qualification
or registration would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be
expected to have a BreitBurn Material Adverse Effect.

Section 3.11           MLP Status.  BreitBurn has, since its inception in March 2006,
met the gross income requirements of Section 7704(c)(2) of the Code and
accordingly BreitBurn is not, and does not reasonably expect to be, taxed as a
corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Section 3.12           Investment Company Status.  BreitBurn is not now, and after the sale of
the Purchased Units and the application of the net proceeds from such sale will
not be, and is not controlled by or under common control with, an “investment
company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

Section 3.13           Offering.  Assuming the accuracy of the representations
and warranties of the Purchasers contained in this Agreement, the sale and
issuance of the Purchased Units pursuant to this Agreement are exempt from the
registration requirements of the Securities Act, and neither BreitBurn nor any
authorized Representative acting on its behalf has taken or will take any
action hereafter that would cause the loss of such exemption.

Section 3.14           Certain Fees.  No fees or commissions will be payable by BreitBurn
to brokers, finders or investment bankers with respect to the sale of any of
the Purchased Units or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement.

Section 3.15           No Side Agreements.  Except for the confidentiality agreements and the
Registration Rights Agreement entered into by and between each of the
Purchasers and BreitBurn, there are no other agreements by, among or between BreitBurn
or any of its Affiliates, on the one hand, and any of the Purchasers or their
Affiliates, on the other hand, with respect to the transactions contemplated
hereby nor promises or inducements for future transactions between or among any
of such parties.

Section 3.16           Internal Accounting Controls.  BreitBurn and its Subsidiaries maintain a
system of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable
assurance that (i) transactions are executed in accordance with management’s
general or specific authorizations, (ii) transactions are recorded as necessary
to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP and to
maintain asset accountability, (iii) access to assets is permitted only in
accordance with management’s general or specific authorization and (iv) the
recorded accountability for assets is compared with the existing assets at
reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any
differences.

Section 3.17           Material Agreements.  BreitBurn has provided the Purchasers
with, or made available to the Purchasers through the BreitBurn SEC
Documents, correct and complete copies of all material agreements (as defined
in Section 601(b)(10) of Regulation S-K promulgated by the Commission) and of
all exhibits to the BreitBurn SEC Documents, including

 11
 

amendments to
or other modifications of pre-existing material agreements, entered into
by BreitBurn.

Section 3.18           Preemptive Rights or Registration Rights.  Except (i) as set forth in the Partnership
Agreement, (ii) as provided in the Basic Documents or (iii) for existing awards
under BreitBurn’s 2006 Long-Term Incentive Plan, the Washburn Amended and
Restated Employment Agreement or the Breitenbach Amended and Restated
Employment Agreement, there are no preemptive rights or other rights to
subscribe for or to purchase, nor any restriction upon the voting or transfer
of, any Common Units or other limited partnership or membership interests of BreitBurn
or any of its Subsidiaries, in each case pursuant to any other agreement or
instrument to which any of such Persons is a party or by which any one of them may
be bound.  Neither the execution of this
Agreement, nor the issuance of the Purchased Units as contemplated by this
Agreement gives rise to any rights for or relating to the registration of any
securities of BreitBurn, other than pursuant to the Registration Rights
Agreement, the Partnership Agreement and the Calumet Transaction Documents.

Section 3.19           Insurance.  BreitBurn and its Subsidiaries are insured
against such losses and risks and in such amounts as BreitBurn believes in its
sole discretion to be prudent for its businesses.  BreitBurn does not have any reason to believe
that it or any Subsidiary will not be able to renew its existing insurance
coverage as and when such coverage expires or to obtain similar coverage from
similar insurers as may be necessary to continue its business.

Section
3.20           Acknowledgment
Regarding Purchase of Purchased Common Units.  BreitBurn acknowledges and agrees that (i) each of
the Purchasers is participating in the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement and the other Basic Documents at BreitBurn’s request and BreitBurn has concluded that such participation is
in BreitBurn’s best
interest and is consistent with BreitBurn’s objectives and (ii) each of the Purchasers is acting solely in the
capacity of an arm’s length purchaser.  BreitBurn
further acknowledges that no
Purchaser is acting or has acted as an advisor, agent or fiduciary of BreitBurn
(or in any similar capacity) with
respect to this Agreement or the other Basic Documents and any advice given by
any Purchaser or any of its respective Representatives in connection with this
Agreement or the other Basic Documents is merely incidental to the Purchasers’
purchase of the Purchased Units.  BreitBurn
further represents to each
Purchaser that BreitBurn’s
decision to enter into this Agreement has been based solely on the independent
evaluation of the transactions contemplated hereby by BreitBurn and its Representatives.

REPRESENTATIONS
AND WARRANTIES OF EACH PURCHASER

Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly, represents
and warrants to BreitBurn with respect to itself, on and as of the date of this
Agreement and on and as of the Closing Date, as follows:

 12
 

Section 4.1             Valid Existence.  Such Purchaser (i) is duly organized, validly
existing and in good standing under the Laws of its respective jurisdiction of
organization and (ii) has all requisite power, and has all material
governmental licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals, necessary to own
its Properties and carry on its business as its business is now being
conducted, except where the failure to obtain such licenses, authorizations,
consents and approvals would not have and would not reasonably be expected to
have a Purchaser Material Adverse Effect.

Section 4.2             Authorization, Enforceability.  Such Purchaser has all necessary power and
authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Agreement
and the Registration Rights Agreement and to consummate the transactions
contemplated thereby, and the execution, delivery and performance by such
Purchaser of this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement has been duly
authorized by all necessary action on the part of the Purchaser; and each of this
Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement constitute the legal, valid and
binding obligations of such Purchaser, enforceable in accordance with its terms,
except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency,
fraudulent transfer and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally or
by general principles of equity, including principles of commercial reasonableness,
fair dealing and good faith.

Section 4.3             No Breach.  The execution, delivery and performance by
such Purchaser of this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement to which
it is a party and all other agreements and instruments in connection with the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Registration Rights
Agreement to which it is a party, and compliance by such Purchaser with the
terms and provisions hereof and thereof and the purchase of the Purchased Units
by such Purchaser do not and will not (a) violate any provision of any Law,
governmental permit, determination or award having applicability to such
Purchaser or any of its Properties, (b) conflict with or result in a violation
of any provision of the organizational documents of such Purchaser or (c)
require any consent (other than standard internal consents), approval or notice
under or result in a violation or breach of or constitute (with or without due
notice or lapse of time or both) a default (or give rise to any right of
termination, cancellation or acceleration) under (i) any note, bond, mortgage,
license, or loan or credit agreement to which such Purchaser is a party or by
which such Purchaser or any of its Properties may be bound or (ii) any other
such agreement, instrument or obligation, except in the case of clauses (a) and
(c) where such violation, default, breach, termination, cancellation, failure
to receive consent or approval, or acceleration with respect to the foregoing
provisions of this Section 4.2 would not, individually or in the aggregate,
have a Purchaser Material Adverse Effect.

Section 4.4             Investment.  The Purchased Units are being acquired for
such Purchaser’s own account, or the accounts of clients for whom such
Purchaser exercises discretionary investment authority, not as a nominee or
agent, and with no present intention of distributing the Purchased Units or any
part thereof, and such Purchaser has no present intention of selling or
granting any participation in or otherwise distributing the same in any
transaction in violation of the securities Laws of the United States of America
or any state, without prejudice, however, to such Purchaser’s right at all
times to sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Purchased Units
under a registration statement under the Securities Act and applicable state
securities Laws or under an exemption from such registration available
thereunder (including, if available, Rule 144 promulgated thereunder).  If such Purchaser should in the future decide
to dispose of any of

 13
 

the Purchased
Units, such Purchaser understands and agrees (a) that it may do so only (i) in
compliance with the Securities Act and applicable state securities Law, as then
in effect, or pursuant to an exemption therefrom or (ii) in the manner
contemplated by any registration statement pursuant to which such securities
are being offered, and (b) that stop-transfer instructions to that effect will
be in effect with respect to such securities.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Purchaser
may at any time enter into one or more total return swaps with respect to such
Purchaser’s Purchased Units with a third party provided
that such transactions are exempt from registration under the Securities Act.

Section 4.5             Nature of Purchaser.  Such Purchaser represents and warrants to, and
covenants and agrees with, BreitBurn that (a) it is a “qualified institutional
buyer” within the meaning of Rule 144A promulgated by the Securities and
Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Act or an “accredited investor”
within the meaning of Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated by the Commission
pursuant to the Securities Act and (b) by reason of its business and financial
experience it has such knowledge, sophistication and experience in making
similar investments and in business and financial matters generally so as to be
capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment in the
Purchased Units, is able to bear the economic risk of such investment and, at
the present time, would be able to afford a complete loss of such investment.

Section 4.6             Receipt of Information; Authorization.  Such Purchaser acknowledges that it has (a)
had access to the BreitBurn SEC Documents, (b) had access to information
regarding the BEP Acquisition and its potential effect on BreitBurn’s
operations and financial results and (c) been provided a reasonable opportunity
to ask questions of and receive answers from Representatives of BreitBurn
regarding such matters including matters with respect to the BEP Acquisition.

Section 4.7             Restricted Securities.  Such Purchaser understands that the Purchased
Units it is purchasing are characterized as “restricted securities” under the
federal securities Laws inasmuch as they are being acquired from BreitBurn in a
transaction not involving a public offering and that under such Laws and
applicable regulations such securities may be resold without registration under
the Securities Act only in certain limited circumstances.  In this connection, such Purchaser represents
that it is knowledgeable with respect to Rule 144 of the Commission promulgated
under the Securities Act.

Section 4.8             Certain Fees.  No fees or commissions will be payable by such
Purchaser to brokers, finders or investment bankers with respect to the sale of
any of the Purchased Units or the consummation of the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement.  BreitBurn will not be
liable for any such fees or commissions.

Section 4.9             Legend.  It is understood that the certificates
evidencing the Purchased Units will initially bear the following legend:  “These securities have not been registered
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.  They 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

 14
 

issuer has
received documentation reasonably satisfactory to it that such transaction does
not require registration under such Act.”

Section 4.10           No Side Agreements.  Except for the confidentiality agreements and the
Registration Rights Agreement entered into by and between such Purchaser and BreitBurn,
there are no other agreements by, among or between BreitBurn or its Affiliates,
on the one hand, and such Purchaser or its Affiliates, on the other hand, with
respect to the transactions contemplated hereby nor promises or inducements for
future transactions between or among any of such parties.

COVENANTS

Section 5.1             Certain Special Allocations of Book and Taxable
Income.  To the extent that
the Common Unit Price is less than the trading price of the Common Units on The
Nasdaq Global Market as of the Closing Date, the General Partner intends to
specially allocate items of book and taxable income to the Purchasers so that
their capital accounts in their Common Units are consistent, on a per-Common
Unit basis, with the capital accounts of the other holders of Common Units (and
thus to assure fungibility of all Common Units).  Such special allocation will occur upon the
earlier to occur of any taxable period of BreitBurn ending upon, or after, (i)
a book-up event or book-down event in accordance with Treasury Regulation
Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f) or a sale of all or substantially all of the
assets of BreitBurn occurring after the date of the issuance of the Common Units
or (ii) the transfer of the Common Units to a Person that is not an Affiliate
of the holder.  A Purchaser holding a Common
Unit shall be required to provide notice to the General Partner of the transfer
of a Common Unit to a Person that is not an Affiliate of the Purchaser no later
than the last Business Day of the calendar year during which such transfer
occurred, unless by virtue of the application of clause (i) above, the General
Partner has determined that the Common Units are consistent, on a per-Common
Unit basis, with the capital accounts of the other holders of Common Units;
provided, that such Purchaser may cure any failure to provide such notice by
providing such notice within 20 days of the last Business Day of such calendar
year; provided, further, that the sole and exclusive remedy for any Purchaser’s
failure to provide any such notice shall be the enforcement of the remedy of
specific performance against such Purchaser and there will be no monetary
damages.

Section 5.2             Subsequent Public Offerings.  Without the written consent of the holders of
a majority of the Purchased Units, taken as a whole, from the date of this
Agreement until the Lock-Up Date, BreitBurn shall not grant, issue or sell any Common
Units, or other equity or voting securities of BreitBurn (“Partnership
Securities”), any securities convertible into or exchangeable therefor or
take any other action that may result in the issuance of any of the foregoing,
other than (i) the issuance of the Purchased Units, (ii) the issuance of Awards
(as defined in BreitBurn’s 2006 Long-Term Incentive Plan), the issuance of Common
Units upon the exercise of options to purchase Common Units granted pursuant to
the BreitBurn 2006 Long-Term Incentive Plan and the issuance of equity-based
securities pursuant to a management or employee benefit plan or in connection
with the restructuring of such a plan, (iii) the issuance or sale of
Partnership Securities issued or sold in a registered public offering to
finance future acquisitions that are accretive to distributable cash flow per Common
Unit (or the repayment of

 15
 

indebtedness
incurred in connection with such accretive acquisitions), (iv) the issuance or
sale of Partnership Securities issued, including without limitation to
Provident Energy Trust and its affiliates, as payment of any part of the
purchase price for businesses that are acquired by the Partnership from
Provident Energy Trust and its affiliates or any third party, and (v) the
issuance or sale of Partnership Securities issued or sold through a private
placement provided that (Y) subject
to those rights granted under the Calumet Unit Purchase Agreement, the
Purchasers individually are granted the right to participate in such private
placement and to purchase a percentage of the Partnership Securities sold in
such private placement pro rata based
upon their purchase of the Purchased Units sold hereby and (Z) each party
participating in such private placement shall agree that it will not sell any
of its Partnership Securities for a period of 90-days following the closing of
such private placement.  Notwithstanding
the foregoing, BreitBurn shall not, and shall cause its directors, officers and
Affiliates not to, sell, offer for sale or solicit offers to buy any security
(as defined in the Securities Act) that would be integrated with the sale of
the Purchased Units in a manner that would require the registration under the
Securities Act of the sale of the Purchased Units to the Purchasers.

Section 5.3             Purchaser Lock-Up.  Without the prior written consent of BreitBurn,
each Purchaser agrees that from and after the Closing it will not sell any of
its Purchased Units prior to the Lock-Up Date; provided,
however, that each Purchaser may:  (i) enter into one or more total return swaps
or similar transactions at any time with respect to the Purchased Units
purchased by such Purchaser provided
that such transactions are exempt from registration under the Securities Act;
or (ii) transfer its Purchased Units to an Affiliate of such Purchaser or to
any other Purchaser or an Affiliate of such other Purchaser provided that such Affiliate agrees to the
restrictions in this Section 5.3.

Section 5.4             Non-Disclosure; Interim Public Filings.  BreitBurn shall, as soon as practicable
following execution of this Agreement, issue a press release acceptable to the
Purchasers disclosing all material terms of the transactions contemplated
herein and in the other Basic Documents. 
Following the Closing Date, BreitBurn shall file a Current Report on
Form 8-K with the Commission (the “Form 8-K Filing”) describing the
terms of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Basic
Documents and including as exhibits to the Form 8-K this Agreement and the
other Basic Documents, in the form required by the Exchange Act.  Thereafter, BreitBurn shall timely file any
filings and notices required by the Commission or applicable Law with respect
to the transactions contemplated hereby. 
BreitBurn and the Purchasers shall consult with each other in issuing
any press releases or otherwise making public statements or filings and other
communications with the Commission or any regulatory agency or The Nasdaq
Global Market with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby, and neither
Party shall issue any such press release or otherwise make any such public
statement, filing or other communication without the prior consent of the
other, except if such disclosure is required by Law, in which case the
disclosing Party shall promptly provide the other Party with prior notice of
such public statement, filing or other communication.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, BreitBurn shall
not publicly disclose the name of any Purchaser, or include the name of any
Purchaser in any press release, without the prior written consent of such
Purchaser except to the extent the names of the Purchasers are included in this
Agreement as filed as an exhibit to the 8-K Filing and the press release
referred to in the first sentence above.

 16
 

Section 5.5             Taking of Necessary Action.  Each of the Parties hereto shall use its
commercially reasonable efforts promptly to take or cause to be taken all action
and promptly to do or cause to be done all things necessary, proper or
advisable under applicable Law and regulations to consummate and make effective
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided, that nothing contained herein shall require BreitBurn
to consummate the BEP Acquisition. 
Without limiting the foregoing, BreitBurn and each Purchaser will use
its commercially reasonable efforts to make all filings and obtain all consents
of Governmental Authorities that may be necessary or, in the reasonable opinion
of the Purchasers or BreitBurn, as the case may be, advisable for the
consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other
Basic Documents.

Section 5.6             Use of Proceeds.  BreitBurn shall use the collective proceeds
from the sale of the Purchased Units to finance the BEP Acquisition.  The remainder of the proceeds, if any, shall
be used to repay indebtedness under the BreitBurn Credit Facility.

Section 5.7             Tax Information.  BreitBurn shall cooperate with the Purchasers
and provide the Purchasers with any reasonably requested tax information
related to their ownership of the Purchased Units.

INDEMNIFICATION,
COSTS AND EXPENSES

Section 7.1             Indemnification by BreitBurn.  BreitBurn agrees to indemnify each Purchaser
and its Representatives (collectively, “Purchaser Related Parties”)
from, and hold each of them harmless against, any and all actions, suits,
proceedings (including any investigations, litigation or inquiries), demands
and causes of action, and, in connection therewith, and promptly upon demand,
pay and reimburse each of them for all reasonable costs, losses, liabilities,
damages or expenses of any kind or nature whatsoever, including, without
limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel and all other
reasonable expenses incurred in connection with investigating, defending or
preparing to defend any such matter that may be incurred by them or asserted
against or involve any of them as a result of, arising out of or in any way
related to the breach of any of the representations, warranties or covenants of
BreitBurn contained herein; provided
that such claim for indemnification is made prior to the expiration of such
representation or warranty; provided further,
that no Purchaser Related Party shall be entitled to recover special,
consequential (including lost profits) or punitive damages.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary,
consequential damages shall not be deemed to include diminution in value, which
is specifically included in damages covered by Purchaser Related Parties
indemnification.

Section 7.2             Indemnification by Purchasers.  Each Purchaser agrees, severally and not
jointly, to indemnify BreitBurn, the General Partner, and their respective Representatives
(collectively, “BreitBurn Related Parties”) from, and hold each of them
harmless against, any and all actions, suits, proceedings (including any
investigations, litigation or inquiries), demands and causes of action, and, in
connection therewith, and promptly upon demand, pay or reimburse each of them
for all reasonable costs, losses, liabilities, damages or expenses of any kind
or nature whatsoever, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and
disbursements of

 18
 

counsel and all other reasonable expenses incurred in connection with
investigating, defending or preparing to defend any such matter that may be
incurred by them or asserted against or involve any of them as a result of,
arising out of or in any way related to the breach of any of the representations,
warranties or covenants of such Purchaser contained herein; provided that such claim for
indemnification relating to a breach of any representation or warranty is made
prior to the expiration of such representation or warranty; and provided further, that no BreitBurn
Related Party shall be entitled to recover special, consequential (including
lost profits) or punitive damages. 
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, consequential damages shall
not be deemed to include diminution in value, which is specifically included in
damages covered by BreitBurn Related Parties indemnification.

Section 7.3             Indemnification Procedure.  Promptly after any BreitBurn Related Party or
Purchaser Related Party (hereinafter, the “Indemnified Party”) has
received notice of any indemnifiable claim hereunder, or the commencement of
any action, suit or proceeding by a third person that the Indemnified Party
believes in good faith is an indemnifiable claim under this Agreement, the
Indemnified Party shall give the indemnitor hereunder (the “Indemnifying
Party”) written notice of such claim or the commencement of such action,
suit or proceeding, but failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party will not
relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability it may have to such
Indemnified Party hereunder except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is
materially prejudiced by such failure.  Such notice shall state the nature and the
basis of such claim to the extent then known.  The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to
defend and settle, at its own expense and by its own counsel who shall be
reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party, any such matter as long as the
Indemnifying Party pursues the same diligently and in good faith.  If the Indemnifying Party undertakes to defend
or settle, it shall promptly notify the Indemnified Party of its intention to
do so, and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party
and its counsel in all commercially reasonable respects in the defense thereof
and the settlement thereof.  Such
cooperation shall include, but shall not be limited to, furnishing the
Indemnifying Party with any books, records and other information reasonably
requested by the Indemnifying Party and in the Indemnified Party’s possession
or control.  Such cooperation of the
Indemnified Party shall be at the cost of the Indemnifying Party.  After the Indemnifying Party has notified the
Indemnified Party of its intention to undertake to defend or settle any such
asserted liability, and for so long as the Indemnifying Party diligently
pursues such defense, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any
additional legal expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with
any defense or settlement of such asserted liability; provided, however,
that the Indemnified Party shall be entitled (i) at its expense, to participate
in the defense of such asserted liability and the negotiations of the
settlement thereof and (ii) if (A) the Indemnifying Party has failed to assume
the defense or employ counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party or
(B) 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 in addition 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 one separate counsel and to
assume such legal defense and otherwise to participate in the defense of such
action, with the expenses and fees of such separate counsel and other expenses
related to such participation to be reimbursed by the Indemnifying Party as
incurred.  Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party shall not settle

 19
 

any indemnified claim without the consent of the Indemnified Party,
unless the settlement thereof imposes no liability or obligation on, involves
no admission of wrongdoing or malfeasance by, and includes a complete release
from liability of, the Indemnified Party.

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 8.1             Interpretation of Provisions.  Article, Section, Schedule and Exhibit
references are to this Agreement, unless otherwise specified.  All references to instruments, documents,
contracts and agreements are references to such instruments, documents,
contracts and agreements as the same may be amended, supplemented and otherwise
modified from time to time, unless otherwise specified.  The word “including” shall mean “including but
not limited to.”  Whenever any party has
an obligation under the Basic Documents, the expense of complying with that obligation
shall be an expense of such party unless otherwise specified.  Whenever any determination, consent or
approval is to be made or given by a Purchaser under this Agreement, such
action shall be in such Purchaser’s sole discretion unless otherwise specified
in this Agreement.  If any provision in
the Basic Documents is held to be illegal, invalid, not binding or
unenforceable, such provision shall be fully severable and the Basic Documents
shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid, not binding or
unenforceable provision had never comprised a part of the Basic Documents, and
the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.  The Basic Documents have been reviewed and
negotiated by sophisticated parties with access to legal counsel and shall not
be construed against the drafter.

Section 8.2             Survival of Provisions.  The representations and warranties set forth
in Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.7 through 3.15 and 4.1 through 4.8 shall survive the
execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Closing indefinitely, and the
other representations set forth in this Agreement shall survive for a period of
12 months following the Closing Date.  The
covenants made in this Agreement or any other Basic Document shall survive the
closing of the transactions described herein and remain operative and in full
force and effect regardless of acceptance of any of the Purchased Units and
payment therefor and repayment, conversion, exercise or repurchase thereof.  All indemnification obligations of BreitBurn
and the Purchasers pursuant to Article VII of this Agreement shall remain
operative and in full force and effect unless such obligations are expressly terminated
in writing by the Parties referencing the particular Article or Section,
regardless of any purported general termination of this Agreement.

Section 8.3             No Waiver; Modifications in Writing.

(a)           Delay.  No failure or delay on the part of any Party in
exercising any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver
thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or
remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any
right, power or remedy.  The remedies
provided for herein are cumulative and are not exclusive of any remedies that
may be available to a Party at law or in equity or otherwise.

(b)           Specific Waiver.
 Except as otherwise provided in this
Agreement or the Registration Rights Agreement, no amendment, waiver, consent,
modification or termination of

 20
 

any provision of any Basic Document shall be
effective unless signed by each of the Parties or each of the original
signatories thereto affected by such amendment, waiver, consent, modification
or termination.  Any amendment,
supplement or modification of or to any provision of any Basic Document, any
waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Basic Document and any
consent to any departure by BreitBurn or any Purchaser from the terms of any
provision of any Basic Document shall be effective only in the specific
instance and for the specific purpose for which made or given.  Except where notice is specifically required
by this Agreement, no notice to or demand on any Party in any case shall
entitle any Party to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other
circumstances.

Section 8.4             Binding Effect; Assignment.

(a)           Binding
Effect.  This Agreement shall
be binding upon BreitBurn, each Purchaser, and their respective successors and
permitted assigns.  Except as expressly
provided in this Agreement, this Agreement shall not be construed so as to
confer any right or benefit upon any Person other than the Parties to this
Agreement and as provided in Article VII, and their respective successors and
permitted assigns.

(b)           Assignment
of Purchased Units.  All or
any portion of a Purchaser’s Purchased Units purchased pursuant to this
Agreement may be sold, assigned or pledged by such Purchaser, subject to
compliance with applicable securities Laws, Section 5.3 of this Agreement, and
the Registration Rights Agreement.

(c)           Assignment
of Rights.  Each Purchaser may
assign all or any portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement
without the consent of BreitBurn (i) to any Affiliate of such Purchaser or (ii)
in connection with a total return swap or similar transaction with respect to
the Purchased Units purchased by such Purchaser, and in each case the assignee
shall be deemed to be a Purchaser hereunder with respect to such assigned
rights or obligations and shall agree to be bound by the provisions of this
Agreement.  Except as expressly permitted
by this Section 8.4(c), such rights and obligations may not otherwise be
transferred except with the prior written consent of BreitBurn (which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld), in which case the assignee shall be deemed
to be a Purchaser hereunder with respect to such assigned rights or obligations
and shall agree to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement.

Section 8.5             Confidentiality and Non-Disclosure.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, each Purchaser that has executed a confidentiality agreement in favor
of BreitBurn shall continue to be bound by such confidentiality agreement in accordance

Document, the prevailing Party shall be entitled to reasonable attorney’s fees,
costs and necessary disbursements in addition to any other relief to which such

DRMS CONTRACT NUMBER
99-4001-0004

Supplemental Agreement 5

Page 2 of 5

WHEREAS, the
Defense Reutilization and Marketing Service (“DRMS”) requires that property
being sold as scrap material receive increased scrutiny to ensure that
mutilation is being performed in accordance with the requirements of this sales
contract; and

WHEREAS, in
order to effectively scrutinize the mutilation of property that presents a risk
of release in its useable configuration to the public, while maintaining an
efficient flow of saleable scrap material that represents lower risk, and where
mutilation is not critical to its sale;

NOW, THEREFORE,
it is mutually agreed between the two parties hereto to this modification that:

1.               Part
II, Section V, “Demil “B” and “Q” Property,” shall be amended as follows:

Third paragraph shall be deleted in its entirety and
replaced with the following paragraph:

All Property offered under this contract including
DEMIL Code “A” property, requires Mutilation, (destructively scrapping in a
manner that prevents recognition or reconstruction of the original item and sub
components) unless specifically excluded from Mutilation by the
Government.  Property generally excluded
from Mutilation requirement includes: Demil code “A” vehicles, tires, lockers,
ammunition cans, production stock/residue (bars, plate rod, wire, borings and
turnings), wire and cable, pipe and tube construction material/residue
(lumber, block, brick, windows, I-beams), wood products, furniture and white
goods (appliances, e.g.,
refrigerators)  The Purchaser may request
from the SCO that other property be excluded from the Mutilation
requirement.  DRMS will evaluate such
requests in the exercise of its sole discretion.  Mutilation is not required for scrap material
generated from Puget Sound Naval Shipyard and CDC Texarkana, TX, as this scrap
is already mutilated prior to referral to the Purchaser.  In instances where scrap is not mutilated at
these locations prior to release under the SV contract, mutilation will be
required.

8th paragraph shall
be deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following paragraph:

If the material (Demil “A”, “B” and “Q” Property) has
not been mutilated before re-sale, the Purchaser will either perform the
mutilation at the DRMO or witness mutilation by the re-sale buyer and attest to
the mutilation by signing as a witness to the mutilation process on the
Certificate of Destruction.  The
Purchaser’s reasonable costs associated with verifying the destructive
scrapping shall be submitted as seller indirect costs.

2.               Part VI, Article
Seven, Section 5, Part C(1) shall be amended as follows:

Delete paragraph in its entirety and replace with the following paragraph:

For MLI and CCLI (i.e. DEMIL “B” and “Q”) Property not
mutilated by the Purchaser, the Purchaser shall promulgate in all re-sale
advertisements and catalogs, as well as in the terms and conditions of sale, a
notice to prospective buyers that the terms will require export permits.  The wording of such notice shall be approved
in advance by DRMS in the exercise of its
sole discretions.  Before releasing a
particular item of DEMIL “B” or “Q” Property to a prospective re-sale
buyer, (i) Purchaser shall obtain a completed EUC from such buyer for each
lot (or group of lots at a single re-sale event) of such Property and furnish a
copy thereof to DRMS, (ii) Purchaser shall confirm with DRMS through the SCO
that such buyer is cleared for the purchase of DEMIL “B” and “Q” items.  Purchaser shall promulgate in all re­sale advertisements and catalogs, as well as in the
terms and conditions of sale, a notice to prospective buyers that the
terms will require mutilation of material not excluded from the mutilation
requirement.  The Purchaser will either
perform the mutilation at the DRMO, or witness the re-sale buyer’s
mutilation process and attest to the mutilation by signing as a witness to the
mutilation process on the Certificate of Destruction for every removal.

3.               Purchaser shall
promulgate in all sales advertisements and catalogs, as well as in the terms
and conditions of sale, a notice to prospective buyers that the Government has
the right to Surveillance to allow Government personnel to accompany GL
personnel in the performance of witnessing and attesting to the mutilation
process performed at the re-sale Buyer’s facility.

4.               Government
personnel will witness and attest to the Mutilation of all scrap received, and
provided under this contract identified as Standard Waste and Scrap
Classification (SCL) Codes MUT, MFS and CSI. 
All SCL Codes MUT, MFS, and CSI will be destroyed at no more than two
locations in CONUS with the requirements listed below.  The Government reserves the rights to inspect
and approve the locations identified by GL to process these scrap codes to
ensure the processing requirements can be met. 
The DRMOs will be provided instructions to ship this property to the
approved locations.

a.               Material will be
completely destroyed using a process that will input items up to 8’ foot X 8
foot in size and result in residue not to exceed 4 inches X 4 inches in
size.  Automated size reduction prior to
shredding is allowed.

b.              End items whose
original size is smaller than 4 inches X 4 inches must be destroyed beyond
recognition and destroyed so that it cannot be used for its original intended
purpose.

c.               For special type
items (i.e., material hardness and thickness) which cannot be destroyed in the
manner prescribed above, the degree and method of destruction will then be
prescribed by a government representative.

h.              GL will provide an
Operational Plan which identifies the capability to accomplish destruction as

5.               Part II, Article
Sixteen, Section 3, “Calculate Net Worth Allocations,” shall be amended as
followed:

Allocation,” change to read,
