REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM. To the Partners of MPLX LP and the Board of Directors of MPLX GP LLC In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the related consolidated statements of income, of equity and of cash flows present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of MPLX LP and its subsidiaries at December 31, 2016 and 2015, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2016 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2016, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Xxxxxxxx Commission (COSO). The Company's management is responsible for these financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements and on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our integrated audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the financial statements included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions. A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. On March 1, 2017, the Company acquired Xxxxxx Street Transportation LLC, Woodhaven Cavern LLC and MPLX Terminals LLC in a transaction between entities under common control. The consolidated financial statements referred to above have been retrospectively adjusted to include these entities as if the transaction had been consummated as of April 1, 2016 for MPLX Terminals LLC and as of January 1, 2015 for Xxxxxx Street Transportation LLC and Woodhaven Cavern LLC. The controls of these entities were not a part of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2016. Accordingly, the controls operated at these entities were not included in either management’s assessment of internal control over financial reporting or our audit of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. These entities are wholly-owned subsidiaries whose total assets and total revenues and other income represent 5% and 15%, respectively, of the related consolidated financial statement amounts as of and for the year ended December 31, 2016. /s/PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP Toledo, Ohio February 24, 2017, except with respect to our opinion on the consolidated financial statements insofar as it relates to the effects of the transaction discussed in Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements and the matter described in the second paragraph of Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting, as to which the date is May 1, 2017

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM. To the Partners of MPLX LP and the Board of Directors of MPLX GP LLC In our opinion, the accompanying combined consolidated balance sheets and the related combined consolidated statements of income, of equity and of cash flows present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of MPLX LP and its subsidiaries at December 31, 2016 2015 and 20152014, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2016 2015 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The Company's management is responsible for these financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements and on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our integrated audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the financial statements included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM. To the Partners of MPLX LP and the Board of Directors of MPLX GP LLC the General Partner and Unitholders of Plains All American Pipeline, L.P.: In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the related consolidated statements of operations, of cash flows, of changes in partners’ capital, of comprehensive income, of equity and of cash flows changes in accumulated other comprehensive income, present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of MPLX LP Plains All American Pipeline, L.P. and its subsidiaries at December 31, 2016 2008 and 20152007, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2016 2008 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, the Company Partnership maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 20162008, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Control—Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Xxxxxxxx Commission (COSO). The Company's Partnership’s management is responsible for these financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management's ’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements and on the Company's Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting based on our integrated audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the financial statements included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Partnership changed the manner in which it accounts for equity-based compensation and purchases and sales with the same counterparty in 2006. A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. On March 1Houston, 2017, the Company acquired Xxxxxx Street Transportation LLC, Woodhaven Cavern LLC and MPLX Terminals LLC in a transaction between entities under common control. The consolidated financial statements referred to above have been retrospectively adjusted to include these entities as if the transaction had been consummated as of April 1, 2016 for MPLX Terminals LLC and as of January 1, 2015 for Xxxxxx Street Transportation LLC and Woodhaven Cavern LLC. The controls of these entities were not a part of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2016. Accordingly, the controls operated at these entities were not included in either management’s assessment of internal control over financial reporting or our audit of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. These entities are wholly-owned subsidiaries whose total assets and total revenues and other income represent 5% and 15%, respectively, of the related consolidated financial statement amounts as of and for the year ended December 31, 2016. /s/Texas PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP ToledoFebruary 26, Ohio February 24, 2017, except with respect to our opinion on the consolidated financial statements insofar as it relates to the effects of the transaction discussed in Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements and the matter described in the second paragraph of Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting, as to which the date is May 1, 20172009
