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 Seller contained herein, provided such claim for indemnification relating to a breach of a representation or warranty is made prior to the expiration of such representation or warranty.

     Section 6.3 Indemnification Procedures. Promptly after any Seller Related Party or Purchaser Related Party (hereinafter, the “Indemnified Party”) has received notice of any indemnifiable claim hereunder, or the commencement of any Action or proceeding by a third person, which 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 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, 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 (a) at its expense, to participate in the defense of such asserted liability and the negotiations of the settlement thereof and (b) if (i) the Indemnifying Party has failed to assume the defense and employ counsel or (ii) 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 a 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 any indemnified claim without the consent of the Indemnified Party, unless the settlement thereof imposes no liability or obligation on, and includes a complete release from liability of, the Indemnified Party.

     Section 6.4 Survival. The Parties’ obligations under this Article VI shall only become operative following the Closing Date and shall not survive any termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 5.2.

ARTICLE VII.
MISCELLANEOUS

     Section 7.1 Purchaser Lock-Up. Except as provided in this Agreement, no Purchaser will offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge or otherwise dispose of (or enter into any transaction which is designed to, or might reasonably be expected to, result in the disposition (whether by actual disposition or effective economic disposition due to cash settlement or otherwise)), directly or indirectly, including the filing (or participation in the filing) of a registration statement with the Commission in respect of, or establish or increase a put equivalent position or liquidate or decrease a call equivalent position within the meaning of Section 16 of the Exchange Act with respect to, any Purchased Units, or publicly announce an intention to effect any such transaction in respect of any Purchased Units, for a period of 90 days after the Closing Date; provided, however, that any Purchaser may enter into a total return swap or similar transaction with respect to the Purchased Units purchased by such Purchaser so long as the swap counterparty agrees to be bound by the terms of this Section 7.1; provided further, however, that the preceding shall not apply, in the case of a Purchaser that is a large multi-unit investment banking organization, to activities in the normal course of trading of units of such Purchaser other than the unit participating in this transaction (the “Participating Unit”) so long as such other units are not acting on behalf of the Participating Unit and have not been provided with confidential information regarding Seller by the Participating Unit.

     Section 7.2 Certain Special Allocations of Book and Taxable Income. To the extent that the Purchase Price is less than the trading price of the Common Units on the New York Stock Exchange 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-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 the Seller 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 the Seller occurring after the date of the issuance of the Purchased Units or (ii) a transfer by a Purchaser of 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 capital account of the Common Units transferred is consistent, on a per-unit basis, with the capital accounts of the other holders of Common Units.

     Section 7.3 Interpretation of Provisions. Article, Section and Schedule 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 a Party has an obligation under this Agreement, 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 Party, such action shall be in such Party’s sole discretion unless otherwise specified in this Agreement. If any provision in this Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid, not binding, or unenforceable, such provision shall be fully severable and this Agreement shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid, not binding, or unenforceable provision had never comprised a part of this Agreement, and the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect. This Agreement has been reviewed and negotiated by sophisticated parties with access to legal counsel and shall not be construed against the drafter.

     Section 7.4 Survival. The representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.2, Section 3.3, Section 3.11, Section 3.12, Section 3.13, Section 4.5 and Section 4.6 hereunder shall survive indefinitely, and the other representations and warranties set forth herein shall survive for a period of twelve (12) months, in each case, following the Closing Date regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of Seller or the Purchasers. The covenants made in this Agreement 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.

     Section 7.5 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 other 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 herein, no amendment, waiver, consent, modification or termination of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective unless signed by each of the Parties hereto or thereto affected by such amendment, waiver, consent, modification or termination. Any amendment, supplement or modification of or to any provision of this Agreement, any waiver of any provision of this Agreement, and any consent to any departure from the terms of any provision of this Agreement 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 a Party in any case shall entitle such Party to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

     Section 7.6 Binding Effect; Assignment.

     (a) Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon Seller, the Purchasers 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 their respective successors and permitted assigns.

     (b) Assignment of Rights. All or any portion of the rights and obligations of each Purchaser under this Agreement may not be transferred by such Purchaser without the written consent of Seller.

     Section 7.7 Confidentiality. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, to the extent that any Purchaser has executed or is otherwise bound by a confidentiality agreement in favor of Seller as of the date hereof, such Purchaser shall continue to be bound by such confidentiality agreement in accordance with its terms. To the extent that any Purchaser has not executed or is not otherwise bound by a confidentiality agreement in favor of Seller as of the date hereof, and has actually received Confidential Information from Seller, such Purchaser will refrain, and will cause its Representatives to refrain, from disclosing to any other Person any Confidential Information; provided, however, that with respect to any Purchaser who has not executed and is not otherwise bound by a confidentiality agreement in favor of Seller as of the date hereof, Seller acknowledges that Seller has not provided such Purchaser any Confidential Information unless requested by such Purchaser. Disclosure of Confidential Information will not be deemed to be a breach of this Section 7.7 if such disclosure is made with the consent of Seller or pursuant to a subpoena or order issued by a court of competent jurisdiction or by a judicial, administrative or legislative body or committee; provided, however, that upon receipt by any Purchaser of any subpoena or order covering Confidential Information of Seller, such Purchaser will to the extent reasonably practicable promptly notify Seller of such subpoena or order.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

     We have acted as counsel for Plains All American Partners, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Partnership”), with respect to certain legal matters in connection with the registration by the Partnership under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), of the offer and sale by the Partnership of 6,296,172 units representing limited partner interests in the Partnership (the “Units”). We have participated in the preparation of the Partnership’s registration statement on Form S-3 (Commission File no.: 333-126447) (the “Registration Statement”), including the prospectus therein (the “Prospectus”). A prospectus supplement (the “Prospectus Supplement”) has been filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) promulgated under the Securities Act describing the offer and sale of the Units, which shall constitute a part of the Prospectus. Capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Prospectus.

     In rendering the opinions set forth below, we have examined and relied upon (i) the Registration Statement, including the Prospectus; (ii) the Third Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of the Partnership, dated as of June 27, 2001, as amended, (iii) a Common Unit Purchase Agreement, dated June 20, 2007 relating to the offering and sale of the Units (the “Purchase Agreement”) and (iv) such other certificates, statutes and other instruments and documents as we consider appropriate for purposes of the opinions hereafter expressed.

     In connection with this opinion, we have assumed that all Units will be issued and sold in compliance in the manner stated in the Prospectus and the Purchase Agreement.

     Based upon and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion that when the Units have been issued and delivered in accordance with terms of the Purchase Agreement, then the Units will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, except as described in the Prospectus.

     The opinions expressed herein are qualified in the following respects:

     A. We have assumed, without independent verification, that the certificates for the Units will conform to the specimens thereof examined by us and will have been duly countersigned by a transfer agent and duly registered by a registrar of the Units.

     B. We have assumed that (i) each document submitted to us for review is accurate and complete, each such document that is an original is authentic, each such document that is a copy conforms to an authentic original and all signatures on each such document are genuine, and (ii) each certificate from governmental officials reviewed by us is accurate, complete and authentic, and all official public records are accurate and complete.

     C. This opinion is limited in all respects to federal laws, the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act and the Constitution of the State of Delaware, as interpreted by the courts of the State of Delaware and of the United States.

     We hereby consent to the references to this firm under the captions “Tax Considerations” and “Legal Matters” in the Prospectus and to the filing of this opinion as an Exhibit to the Registration Statements. By giving such consent, we do not admit that we are within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act or the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission issued thereunder.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Plains All American Announces
Receipt of Equity Commitments

     (Houston – June 20, 2007) Plains All American Pipeline, L.P. (NYSE: PAA) announced today that it has received equity commitments from a group of entities affiliated with thirteen institutional and private investors led by GPS Partners LLC. The commitments provide for the sale by PAA of 6.3 million common units, which will generate aggregate net proceeds of approximately $382.5 million, including the general partner’s proportionate capital contribution and estimated expenses associated with the issuance.

     The price for the common units, which will be issued under the Partnership’s existing shelf registration statement, was $59.56 per unit, which represents an approximate 3% discount to the closing price of the common units on June 18, 2007 (the reference price for the offering), as well as the average closing price for the trailing twenty trading day period through such date. The sale price represents a 5.8% discount to the closing price on June 19, 2007. The Partnership intends to complete the issuance by the end of June.

     “This transaction is consistent with our overall capital structure maintenance activities as we continue to expand our merchant function and implement our portfolio of capital projects, while simultaneously remaining focused on our ultimate credit ratings objectives,” stated Greg L. Armstrong, Chairman and CEO of Plains All American Pipeline, L.P. “A portion of the proceeds from this transaction will be used to fund the closing of the Bumstead LPG storage facility acquisition as well as our ongoing expansion capital projects and the balance will be used to reduce our short-term inventory related borrowings. We believe this equity issuance will increase our financial flexibility by pre-funding future expansion capital projects and enable us to move quickly if attractive acquisition opportunities arise.”

     Plains All American Pipeline, L.P. is a publicly traded master limited partnership engaged in the transportation, storage, terminalling and marketing of crude oil, refined products and liquefied petroleum gas and other natural gas related petroleum products. Through its 50% equity ownership in PAA/Vulcan Gas Storage, LLC, the Partnership also develops and operates natural gas storage facilities. The Partnership is headquartered in Houston, Texas, and its common units are traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “PAA.”
