<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">This section summarizes the material U.S. federal income tax consequences that may be relevant to prospective unitholders and is based
upon current provisions of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the &#147;Code&#148;), existing and proposed U.S. Treasury regulations thereunder (the &#147;Treasury Regulations&#148;), and current administrative rulings and court
decisions, all of which are subject to change. Changes in these authorities may cause the federal income tax consequences to a prospective unitholder to vary substantially from those described below. Unless the context otherwise requires, references
in this section to &#147;we&#148; or &#147;us&#148; are references to the partnership and its subsidiaries. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Legal conclusions
contained in this section, unless otherwise noted, are the opinion of Vinson&nbsp;&amp; Elkins L.L.P. and are based on the accuracy of representations made by us to them for this purpose. However, this section does not address all federal income tax
matters that affect us or our unitholders. Furthermore, this section focuses on unitholders who are individual citizens or residents of the United States (for federal income tax purposes), who have the U.S. dollar as their functional currency and
who hold units as capital assets (generally, property that is held for investment). This section has limited applicability to corporations, partnerships (including entities treated as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes), estates,
trusts, non-resident aliens or other unitholders subject to specialized tax treatment, such as tax-exempt institutions, non-U.S. persons, individual retirement accounts (&#147;IRAs&#148;), employee benefit plans, real estate investment trusts or
mutual funds. <B><I>Accordingly, we encourage each unitholder to consult the unitholder&#146;s own tax advisor in analyzing the federal, state, local and non-U.S. tax consequences particular to that unitholder resulting from ownership or disposition
of units.</I></B> </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">We are relying on opinions and advice of Vinson&nbsp;&amp; Elkins L.L.P. with respect to the matters
described herein. An opinion of counsel represents only that counsel&#146;s best legal judgment and does not bind the IRS or a court. Accordingly, the opinions and statements made herein may not be sustained by a court if contested by the IRS. Any
such contest of the matters described herein may materially and adversely impact the market for our units and the prices at which units trade. In addition, our costs of any contest with the IRS will be borne indirectly by our unitholders and our
general partner because the costs will reduce our cash available for distribution. Furthermore, the tax consequences of an investment in us, may be significantly modified by future legislative or administrative changes or court decisions, which may
be retroactively applied. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">For the reasons described below, Vinson&nbsp;&amp; Elkins L.L.P. has not rendered an opinion with

Unit Ownership &#151; Treatment of Securities Loans&#148;); (2)&nbsp;whether our monthly convention for allocating taxable income and losses is permitted by existing Treasury Regulations (please read &#147;&#151; Disposition of Units &#151;
Allocations Between Transferors and Transferees&#148;); and (3)&nbsp;whether our method for taking into account Section&nbsp;743 adjustments is sustainable in certain cases (please read &#147;&#151; Tax Consequences of Unit Ownership &#151;

newly formed corporation, on the first day of the year in which we fail to meet the Qualifying Income Exception, in exchange for stock in that corporation and then as distributing that stock to our unitholders in liquidation. This deemed
contribution and liquidation should not result in the recognition of taxable income by our unitholders or us so long as our liabilities do not exceed the tax basis of our assets. Thereafter, we would be treated as an association taxable as a

cash available for distribution to unitholders and thus would likely substantially reduce the value of our units. Any distribution made to a unitholder at a time we are treated as a corporation would be (i)&nbsp;a taxable dividend to the extent of
our current or accumulated earnings and profits, then (ii)&nbsp;a nontaxable return of capital to the extent of the unitholder&#146;s tax basis in its stock that was exchanged for units, and thereafter (iii)&nbsp;taxable capital gain. </FONT></P>

tax basis or at risk amount, whichever is the limiting factor, is subsequently increased. Upon a taxable disposition of units, any gain recognized by a unitholder can be offset by losses that were previously suspended by the at risk limitation but
not losses suspended by the basis limitation. Any loss previously suspended by the at risk limitation in excess of that gain can no longer be used. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT

and personal service corporations from &#147;passive activities&#148; (generally, trade or business activities in which the taxpayer does not materially participate). The passive loss limitations are applied separately with respect to each
publicly-traded partnership. Consequently, any passive losses we generate will be available to offset only passive income generated by us, and will not be available to offset your income from other passive activities or investments, including your
investments in other publicly traded partnerships (including PAA Natural Gas Storage, L.P.)&nbsp;or your salary, active business or other income. The application of the passive loss limitations to tiered partnerships is uncertain. However, we will
take the position that any passive losses we generate that are reasonably allocable to our investment in any publicly-traded partnership (such as PAA Natural Gas Storage, L.P.) in which we own an interest are separate passive activities and will
only be available to offset its separate passive income generated in the future, and will not be available to offset our income from any other passive activities. Passive losses that exceed a unitholder&#146;s share of passive income we generate may
be deducted in full when the unitholder disposes of all of its units in a fully taxable transaction with an unrelated party. The passive activity loss rules are generally applied after other applicable limitations on deductions, including the at
risk and basis limitations. </FONT></P>

adjustment to be made, and should, in our opinion, the expense of compliance exceed the benefit of the election, we may seek permission from the IRS to revoke our Section&nbsp;754 election. If permission is granted, a subsequent purchaser of units

administrative adjustment and, if the Tax Matters Partner fails to seek judicial review, judicial review may be sought by any unitholder having at least a 1% interest in profits or by any group of unitholders having in the aggregate at least a 5%

and demands whatsoever. The partnership agreement of Plains All American Pipeline, L.P. provides that Plains All American Pipeline, L.P. will indemnify the general partner, any departing partner, any person who is or was an affiliate of the general
partner or any departing partner, and any person who is or was a member, partner, officer, director, employee, agent or trustee of the general partner or any departing partner or any affiliate of the general partner or any departing partner, or any

person (each, an &#147;Indemnitee&#148;), to the fullest extent permitted by law, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities (joint and several), expenses (including, without limitation, legal fees and expenses), judgments,
fines, penalties, interest, settlements and other amounts arising from any and all claims, demands, actions, suits or proceedings, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, in which any Indemnitee may be involved, or is threatened to
be involved, as a party or otherwise, by reason of its status as any of the foregoing; provided that in each case the Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner that such Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interests of Plains All American Pipeline, L.P. and, with respect to any criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his, her or its conduct was unlawful. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be
permitted to any Indemnitee pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the registrant has been informed that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is therefore unenforceable. </FONT></P>

such standards and restrictions, if any, as are set forth in its limited liability company agreement, a Delaware limited liability company may, and has the power to, indemnify and hold harmless any member or manager or other person from and against
any and all claims and demands whatsoever. The limited liability company agreement of Plains All American GP LLC provides for the indemnification of (i)&nbsp;its members, (ii)&nbsp;members of its Board of Directors, and (iii)&nbsp;its officers
(each, a &#147;Company Affiliate&#148;), from and against any and all losses, claims, demands, costs, damages, liabilities, expenses of any nature (including reasonable attorneys&#146; fees and disbursements), judgments, fines, settlements and other
amounts arising from any and all claims, demands, actions, suits or proceedings, civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, in which such person may be involved, or threatened to be involved, as a party or otherwise, by reason of his, her or
its status as a Company Affiliate, regardless of whether a Company Affiliate continues to be a Company Affiliate at the time any such liability or expense is paid or incurred, if such Company Affiliate acted in good faith and in a manner he, she or
it reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the interests of the Plains All American GP LLC and with respect to any criminal proceeding, had no reason to believe his, her or its conduct was unlawful. Expenses incurred by a Company Affiliate
in defending any such claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding will, from time to time, be advanced by the Plains All American GP LLC prior to the final disposition of such claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding upon receipt by the Plains All
American GP LLC of an undertaking by or on behalf of the Company Affiliate to repay such amounts if it is ultimately determined that the Company Affiliate is not entitled to be indemnified. Plains All American GP LLC is authorized to purchase and
maintain insurance, on behalf of the members of its Board of Directors, its officers and such other persons as the Board of Directors may determine, against any liability that may be asserted against or expense that may be incurred by such person in
connection with the activities of Plains All American GP LLC. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Section&nbsp;145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law

investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director,
officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in
connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no
reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. Section&nbsp;145 further provides that a corporation similarly may indemnify any such person serving in any such capacity who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any
threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation or is or was serving at the
request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees) actually and reasonably incurred in connection with
the defense or settlement of such action or suit if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any
claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the Delaware Court of Chancery or such other court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine
upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all of the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Delaware Court of Chancery or such other court
shall deem proper. PAA Finance Corp.&#146;s certificate of incorporation and bylaws provide that indemnification shall be to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL for all its current or former directors or officers. As permitted by the DGCL, PAA
Finance Corp.&#146;s certificate of incorporation provides that PAA Finance Corp. will indemnify its directors against liability to PAA Finance Corp. or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except
(1)&nbsp;for any breach of the director&#146;s duty of loyalty to PAA Finance Corp. or its stockholders, (2)&nbsp;for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or knowing violation of law, (3)&nbsp;under
Section&nbsp;174 of the DGCL or (4)&nbsp;for any transaction from which a director derived an improper personal benefit. </FONT></P>
