subsidiary of Plains All American Pipeline, L.P. ("PAA"), entered into a First
Amendment (the "First Amendment") to Second Restated Credit Agreement among
PMLP, Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent, BNP Paribas, as
Syndication Agent, SOCIETE GENERALE, as Documentation Agent, Banc of America
Securities LLC ("BAS"), BNP Paribas ("BNPP") and Societe Generale, as joint lead

amended, the "Restated Facility"). The First Amendment extends the term of the
Restated Facility by approximately one year until October 26, 2010.
The Restated Facility, as amended by the First Amendment, is a $500 million

sub-facility of up to 20% of the total committed facility. The committed amount
may be increased at the option of PMLP to $1.2 billion, subject to obtaining
additional commitments from lenders. Borrowings under the Restated Facility will
be primarily used to finance the purchase of hedged crude oil inventory for
storage activities when market conditions warrant as well as for foreign import
activities. Obligations under the Restated Facility are secured by the financed
inventory and the associated accounts receivable, and will be repaid from the
proceeds of the sale of the financed inventory. In addition, PMLP's obligations
under the Restated Facility are guaranteed by PAA pursuant to a Restated
Guaranty Agreement entered into on November 6, 2008 by PAA in favor of the
Administrative Agent.
The above description of the First Amendment is qualified in its entirety by
the terms of the First Amendment, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1, and
incorporated herein by reference.
