Plains AAP, PAA, PAA GP and certain other Affiliates of Plains AAP entered into a Simplification Agreement dated July 11, 2016 (as amended and in effect, the “Simplification Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, PAA will (a) acquire the economic rights associated with PAA GP’s general partner interest in PAA and all of the IDRs held by Plains AAP free and clear of all liens and (b) assume all outstanding obligations and liabilities of Plains AAP under the Credit Agreement (together with the other transactions contemplated by the Simplification Agreement, collectively, the “Simplification Transaction”);
In connection with the Simplification Transaction, (a) Plains AAP desires to assign all of its rights (other than the right to request Revolving Loans) and obligations as the Borrower under the Credit Agreement to PAA, and to be released of such rights and obligations under the Credit Agreement, (b) PAA desires to assume all of such rights and obligations (such assignment and assumption, collectively, the “Assignment and Assumption”) and (c) with effect immediately prior to the effectiveness of the Assignment and Assumption, Plains AAP desires (i) to have all Liens on the Collateral under any of the Loan Documents released and terminated and the Security Agreement terminated (collectively, the “Lien Termination”) and (ii) without regard to, or compliance with, Section 2.09(c)(ii) of the Credit Agreement, to have all Revolving Commitments of all Lenders terminated (the “Revolver Commitment Termination”);
Plains AAP requests that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders (a) consent to the Assignment and Assumption, the Lien Termination, and the Revolver Commitment Termination and (b) waive certain matters related to such consent and the Simplification Transaction as herein set forth, in each case, subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth; and
Plains AAP, PAA, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby execute this Agreement to evidence such agreement;
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual covenants set forth herein, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Plains AAP, PAA, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders agree, as of the Effective Date, as follows:
1. Defined Terms; Construction. Each capitalized term used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings as defined in the Credit Agreement. Section 1.03 of the Credit Agreement shall be incorporated herein by reference.
2. Consent. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby consent to the Assignment and Assumption, Lien Termination, and the Revolver Commitment Termination and acknowledge and agree that, as of the Consent Effective Date (as hereinafter defined), (a) PAA shall be a party to and be bound by the provisions of the Credit Agreement and shall assume the obligations and shall have the assigned rights of the Borrower thereunder, as if PAA was the original Borrower under the Credit Agreement, (b) Plains AAP shall be released of its rights and obligations under the Credit Agreement, the Security Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (c) all Liens on the Collateral, wherever or however subsisting or arising, in favor of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any other secured party under any of the Loan Documents shall be automatically and unconditionally released and terminated, (d) the Security Agreement shall automatically and unconditionally terminate, and (e) all Revolving Commitments of all Lenders shall terminate (the foregoing consent, and acknowledgment and agreement, are collectively referred to as the “Consent”). For the avoidance of doubt, (x) the Liens on the Collateral shall in no event be released prior to the Consent Effective Date, (y) prior to the Consent Effective Date, Plains AAP shall have, and shall continue to have, all obligations and rights under the Credit Agreement, including the right to request Revolving Loans subject to the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement, and (z) in light of the Revolving Commitments being terminated immediately prior to the effectiveness of the Assignment and Assumption, PAA will have no right to request Loans under the Credit Agreement.
3. Conditions Precedent. This Agreement shall become effective as of the Effective Date on the date when the Administrative Agent (or its counsel) shall have received from each party hereto either (a) a counterpart of this Agreement signed on behalf of such party or (b) written evidence satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (which may include telecopy or other electronic transmission of a signed signature page of this Agreement) that such party has signed a counterpart of this Agreement. In addition, the Consent shall become effective on the Business Day specified, in writing, by PAA to the Administrative Agent as the Business Day (the “Commencement Day”) on which the transactions contemplated by the Simplification Agreement will commence (each such transaction, a “Transaction”, and collectively, the “Transactions”), and as of the time on the Commencement Day which immediately precedes the commencement of the first to occur of any Transaction (such day and such time are together referred to as the “Consent Effective Date”); provided, that (y) such Business Day shall be on or before January 19, 2017 and (z) if PAA notifies the Administrative Agent of the Commencement Day and no Transaction occurs on such Commencement Day, then the Consent Effective Date shall be deemed not to be effective on such Commencement Day. PAA will specify the Commencement Day to the Administrative Agent, in writing, at least one (1) Business Day prior to the Commencement Day.

(b) interest shall continue to accrue on the principal portion of the Outstanding Obligations at the interest rate then in effect immediately prior to the Consent Effective Date, and if any Outstanding Obligations remain outstanding after the Maturity Date, then such amounts from time to time outstanding thereafter shall accrue interest at the applicable rate provided for in Section 2.13(c) of the Credit Agreement.
In all respects the foregoing shall apply to each Loan Document, mutatis mutandis.
