There are no material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in the Partnership’s internal controls.

(tt) Disclosure Controls. The Partnership has established and maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) and such disclosure controls and procedures are effective in all material respects to perform the functions for which they were established; such disclosure controls and procedures have been designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the Partnership in reports that it submits or files under the Exchange Act is made known to the Partnership’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure; and such disclosure controls and procedures are effective at the reasonable assurance level.

(uu) Books and Records.

termination thereof or results in any impairment of the rights of the holder of any such permit, except for such revocations, terminations and impairments that could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; and, except as described in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, none of such permits contains any restriction that is materially burdensome to the Material BreitBurn Entities considered as a whole.

(xx) Environmental Compliance. Each of the BreitBurn Entities (i) is in compliance with any and all applicable federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to the prevention of pollution or protection of the environment or imposing liability or standards of conduct concerning any release into the environment of, or exposure to, Hazardous Materials (as defined below) (“Environmental Laws”), (ii) has received all permits required of them under applicable Environmental Laws to conduct their respective businesses as presently conducted, (iii) is in compliance with all terms and conditions of any such permits and (iv) does not have any liability in connection with the release into the environment of any Hazardous Material, except where such noncompliance with Environmental Laws, failure to receive required permits, failure to comply with the terms and conditions of such permits or liability in connection with such releases could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

On the basis of such review, the BreitBurn Entities have reasonably concluded that such associated costs and liabilities could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(yy) No Distribution of Materials. None of the Material BreitBurn Entities has distributed and, prior to the later to occur of (i) any Settlement Date and (ii) completion of the distribution of the Units, will distribute any offering material in connection with the offering and sale of the Units other than the Prospectus and any other materials, if any, permitted by the Securities Act.

(eee) OFAC. None of the Material BreitBurn Entities, or, to the knowledge of the BreitBurn Parties, any director, officer, agent, employee or affiliate of the Material BreitBurn Entities, is in violation of any of the country or list based economic and trade sanctions administered and enforced by the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the U.S. Treasury Department (“OFAC”).

(fff) Brokers and Finders. Neither BreitBurn Party is party to any contract, agreement or understanding with any person (other than this Agreement) that would reasonably be expected to give rise to a valid claim against a BreitBurn Party or any Manager for a brokerage commission, finder’s fee or like payment in connection with the offering and sale of the Units.

Any certificate signed by any officer of the BreitBurn Parties and delivered to the Managers or counsel for the Managers in connection with an offering of the Units shall be

deemed a representation and warranty by such entity, jointly and severally, as to matters covered thereby, to each Manager.

Sale and Delivery of the Units.

(a) Agency Transactions. On the basis of the representations, warranties and agreements herein contained, but subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, the BreitBurn Parties and each Manager agrees that the Partnership may issue and sell through the Managers, as sales agents for the Partnership, the Units (an “Agency Transaction”) as follows:

(i) The Partnership may, from time to time, propose to any Manager the terms of an Agency Transaction by means of a telephone call (confirmed promptly by electronic mail in a form substantially similar to Exhibit A hereto (an “Agency Transaction Notice”) addressed to each of the individuals from such Manager listed on Schedule I hereto) from any of the individuals listed as authorized representatives of the Partnership on Schedule II hereto (each, an “Authorized Partnership Representative”), such proposal to include: the trading day(s) for the NASDAQ Global Select Market (“NASDAQ”) (which may not be a day on which NASDAQ is scheduled to close prior to its regular weekday closing time) on which the Units are to be sold (each, a “Trading Day”); the maximum number of Units that the Partnership wishes to sell in the aggregate and on each Trading Day; the minimum price at which the Partnership is willing to sell the Units (the “Floor Price”); and the compensation payable to such Manager for such sales pursuant to Section 2(a)(vii). For the avoidance of doubt, the Partnership shall submit instructions to sell Units to only one Manager, if any, on any single Trading Day.

(ii) If such proposed terms for an Agency Transaction are acceptable to such Manager, it shall promptly confirm the terms by an acknowledgement included in a return email referencing the Agency Transaction Notice for such Agency Transaction and addressed to an Authorized Partnership Representative.

(iii) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, such Manager shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to sell all of the Units designated in, and subject to the terms of, such Agency Transaction Notice. Such Manager shall not sell any Units at a price lower than the Floor Price. The Partnership acknowledges and agrees with the Managers that (x) there can be no assurance that any Manager will be successful in selling all or any of such Units, (y) such Manager shall incur no liability or obligation to the Partnership or any other person or entity if it does not sell any Units for any reason and (z) the Managers shall be under no obligation to purchase any Units on a principal basis pursuant to this Agreement (except in the case of a Principal Transaction (as defined below) pursuant to this Agreement and the relevant Terms Agreement (as defined below)).

(iv) The Partnership, acting through an Authorized Partnership Representative, or such Manager may, upon notice to the other party to the Agency Transaction by telephone (confirmed promptly by electronic mail), suspend or terminate an offering of the Units; provided, however, that such suspension or termination shall not affect or

impair the parties’ respective obligations with respect to the Units sold hereunder prior to the giving of such notice.

(v) If the terms of any Agency Transaction as set forth in an Agency Transaction Notice contemplate that the Units shall be sold on more than one Trading Day, then the Partnership and such Manager shall mutually agree to such additional terms and conditions as they deem necessary in respect of such multiple Trading Days, and such additional terms and conditions shall be binding to the same extent as any other terms contained in the relevant Agency Transaction Notice.

(vi) Each Manager, as sales agent in an Agency Transaction, shall not make any sales of the Units on behalf of the Partnership, pursuant to this Agreement, other than (x)(i) by means of ordinary brokers’ transactions that qualify for delivery of the Prospectus in accordance with Rule 153 of the Rules and Regulations and meet the definition of an “at the market offering” under Rule 415(a)(4) of the Rules and Regulations, (ii) to or through a market maker, or (iii) directly on or through an electronic communication network, a “dark pool” or any similar market venue and (y) such other sales of the Units on behalf of the Partnership in its capacity as agent of the Partnership as shall be agreed by the Partnership and such Manager in writing.

(vii) The compensation to such Manager for sales of the Units in an Agency Transaction with respect to which such Manager acts as sales agent hereunder shall be as set forth in the Agency Transaction Notice for such Agency Transaction but shall not exceed 2.0% of the gross offering proceeds of the Units sold in such Agency Transaction. Such Manager shall provide written confirmation to the Partnership (which may be provided by email to an Authorized Partnership Representative) following the close of trading on NASDAQ on each Trading Day on which Units are sold in an Agency Transaction under this Agreement, setting forth (i) the number of Units sold on such Trading Day, (ii) the gross offering proceeds received from such sales, (iii) the commission payable by the Partnership to such Manager with respect to such sales and (iv) the net offering proceeds (being the gross offering proceeds for such sales less the commission payable for such sales) (the “Net Offering Proceeds”).

(viii) Settlement for sales of the Units in an Agency Transaction pursuant to this Agreement shall occur on the third Trading Day (or such earlier day as is industry practice for regular-way trading) following the date on which such sales are made (each such day, an “Agency Settlement Date”). On each Agency Settlement Date, the Units sold through such Manager in Agency Transactions for settlement on such date shall be issued and delivered by the Partnership to such Manager against payment by such Manager to the Partnership of the Net Offering Proceeds from the sale of such Units. Settlement for all such Units shall be effected by free delivery of the Units by the Partnership or its transfer agent to such Manager’s or its designee’s account (provided that such Manager shall have given the Partnership written notice of such designee prior to the relevant Agency Settlement Date) at The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) or by such other means of delivery as may be mutually agreed upon by the parties hereto, which in all cases shall be freely tradable, transferable, registered units in good deliverable form, in return for payment in same-day funds delivered to the account

designated by the Partnership. If the Partnership, or its transfer agent (if applicable), shall default on its obligation to deliver the Units on any Agency Settlement Date, the Partnership shall (i) hold such Manager harmless against any loss, claim, damage, or expense (including, without limitation, reasonable legal fees and expenses), as incurred, arising out of or in connection with such default by the Partnership and (ii) pay such Manager any commission, discount or other compensation to which it would otherwise be entitled absent such default.

(b) Principal Transactions. If the Partnership wishes to issue and sell the Units other than as set forth in subsection (a) of this Section 2 (each, a “Principal Transaction”), the Partnership will notify the Managers of the proposed terms of such Principal Transaction. If any Manager, each acting as principal, wishes to accept such proposed terms (which it may decline to do for any reason in its sole discretion) or, following discussions with the Partnership, wishes to accept amended terms, such Manager(s) and the Partnership will enter into an agreement in substantially the form of Exhibit B hereto (each, a “Terms Agreement”) that sets forth the terms of such Principal Transaction, including, without limitation, the time, date and place of delivery of and payment for the Units to be sold pursuant to such Principal Transaction (each of such date and each Agency Settlement Date, a “Settlement Date”). The terms set forth in a Terms Agreement shall not be binding on the Partnership or such Manager(s) unless and until each of the Partnership and such Manager(s) have executed such Terms Agreement accepting all of such terms. The commitment of such Manager(s) to purchase the Units pursuant to any Terms Agreement shall be deemed to have been made on the basis of the representations and warranties of the Partnership herein contained and shall be subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth. In the event of a conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of any Terms Agreement, the terms of such Terms Agreement shall control.

(c) Maximum number of Units. Under no circumstances shall the Partnership propose to any Manager, or any Manager effect, a sale of Units in an Agency Transaction or a Principal Transaction pursuant to this Agreement if such sale would (i) cause the aggregate gross sales proceeds of the Units sold pursuant to this Agreement to exceed $200,000,000 (the “Maximum Amount”), (ii) cause the number of Units sold to exceed the number of Common Units available for offer and sale under the then effective Registration Statement or (iii) cause the number of Units sold pursuant to this Agreement to exceed the number of Units authorized from time to time to be issued and sold pursuant to this Agreement by the board of directors of the General Partner, or a duly authorized committee thereof, and notified to the Managers in writing.

(d) Regulation M. If any party hereto has reason to believe that the exemptive provisions set forth in Rule 101(c)(1) of Regulation M under the Exchange Act are not satisfied with respect to the Partnership or the Units, it shall promptly notify the other party and sales of Units under this Agreement shall be suspended until that or other exemptive provisions have been satisfied in the judgment of each party hereto.

(e) Black-out Periods. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no sales of Units shall take place, the Partnership shall not request the sales of any Units that would be sold and no Manager shall be obligated to sell or offer to sell any Units during any period in which the Partnership is, or could be deemed to be, in possession of material non-public information with respect to the Partnership.

(w) The Partnership hereby consents to the Managers trading in the Common Units for their own respective accounts and for the accounts of their respective clients at the same time as sales of the Units pursuant to this Agreement or pursuant to a Terms Agreement.

(x) If to the knowledge of the BreitBurn Parties any condition set forth in Section 5(a) of this Agreement shall not have been satisfied on the applicable Settlement Date, the Partnership shall offer to any person who has agreed to purchase Units from the Partnership as the result of an offer to purchase solicited by any Manager the right to refuse to purchase and pay for such Units.

(k) Each of the BreitBurn Parties shall have furnished or caused to be furnished to the Managers a certificate, dated each Representation Date, signed on its behalf by the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer of the General Partner, or other officers satisfactory to the Managers, as to such matters as the Managers may reasonably request, including, without limitation, a statement that:

(ii) No stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement has been issued; no proceedings for that purpose have been instituted or, to the knowledge of such officers, threatened; and the Commission has not notified the Partnership of any objection to the use of the form of the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto; and

Indemnification and Contribution.

(a) Each of the BreitBurn Parties hereby agrees, jointly and severally, to indemnify and hold harmless each Manager, its affiliates and agents participating in this offering (a “Participating Affiliate”), directors, officers and employees and each person, if any, who controls any Manager within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, from and against any loss, claim, damage or liability, joint or several, or any action in respect thereof (including, but not limited to, any loss, claim, damage, liability or action relating to purchases and sales of Units), to which that Manager, Participating Affiliate, director, officer, employee or controlling person may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such loss, claim, damage, liability or action arises out of, or is based upon, (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the

Registration Statement, the Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto, any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made (other than with respect to the Registration Statement), not misleading, and shall reimburse each Manager and each such Participating Affiliate, director, officer, employee or controlling person promptly upon demand for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by that Manager, Participating Affiliate, director, officer, employee or controlling person in connection with investigating or defending or preparing to defend against any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that the BreitBurn Parties shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action arises out of, or is based upon, any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or in any such amendment or supplement thereto, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information concerning such Manager furnished to the Partnership by or on behalf of any Manager specifically for inclusion therein, which information consists solely of the information specified in Section 6(e) below. In the event that it is finally judicially determined that the Managers were not entitled to receive payments for legal and other expenses pursuant to this subparagraph, the Managers will promptly return all sums that had been advanced pursuant hereto. The foregoing indemnity agreement is in addition to any liability that the BreitBurn Parties may otherwise have to any Manager or to any Participating Affiliate, director, officer, employee or controlling person of that Manager.

(b) Each Manager hereby agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the BreitBurn Parties, each of their respective directors, managers, officers and employees, and each person, if any, who controls any of the BreitBurn Parties within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, from and against any loss, claim, damage or liability, joint or several, or any action in respect thereof, to which the BreitBurn Parties or any such director, manager, officer, employee or controlling person may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such loss, claim, damage, liability or action arises out of, or is based upon, (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, or in any amendment or supplement thereto, or (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto, any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but in each case only to the extent that the untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information concerning such Manager furnished to the Partnership by or on behalf of that Manager specifically for inclusion therein, which information is limited to the information set forth in Section 6(e), and shall reimburse the BreitBurn Parties and any such director, manager, officer, employee or controlling person in connection with investigating or defending or preparing to defend against any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action as such expenses are incurred. In the event that it is finally judicially determined that the BreitBurn Parties were not entitled to receive payments for legal and other expenses pursuant to this subparagraph, the BreitBurn Parties will promptly return all sums that had been advanced pursuant hereto. The foregoing indemnity agreement is in addition to any liability that any Manager may otherwise have to the BreitBurn Parties or any such director, manager, officer, employee or controlling person.

(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 6 of notice of any claim or the commencement of any action, the indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section 6, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the claim or the commencement of that action; provided, however, that the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have under this Section 6 except to the extent it has been materially prejudiced (through the forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses) by such failure and, provided, further, that the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have to an indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 6. If any such claim or action shall be brought against an indemnified party, and it shall notify the indemnifying party thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it wishes, jointly with any other similarly notified indemnifying party, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. After notice from the indemnifying party to the indemnified party of its election to assume the defense of such claim or action, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to the indemnified party under this Section 6 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation; provided, however, that the indemnified party shall have the right to employ counsel to represent jointly the indemnified party and those other indemnified parties and their respective directors, officers, employees and controlling persons who may be subject to liability arising out of any claim in respect of which indemnity may be sought under this Section 6 if (i) the indemnified party and the indemnifying party shall have so mutually agreed; (ii) the indemnifying party has failed within a reasonable time to retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party; (iii) the indemnified party and its directors, officers, employees and controlling persons shall have reasonably concluded, based on the advice of counsel, that there may be legal defenses available to them that are different from or in addition to those available to the indemnifying party; or (iv) the named parties in any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnified parties or their respective directors, officers, employees or controlling persons, on the one hand, and the indemnifying party, on the other hand, and representation of both sets of parties by the same counsel would present a conflict due to actual or potential differing interests between them, and in any such event the fees and expenses of such separate counsel shall be paid by the indemnifying party. No indemnifying party shall (i) without the prior written consent of the indemnified parties (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties to such claim or action) unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceeding and does not include any findings of fact or admissions of fault or culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party, or (ii) be liable for any settlement of any such action effected without its written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), but if settled with the consent of the indemnifying party or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff in any such action, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify and hold harmless any indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment.

(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 6 shall for any reason be unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under Section 6(a), 6(b), or

6(c) in respect of any loss, claim, damage or liability, or any action in respect thereof, referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability, or action in respect thereof, (i) in such proportion as shall be appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the BreitBurn Parties, on the one hand, and the Managers, on the other, from the offering of the Units or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the BreitBurn Parties, on the one hand, and the Managers, on the other, with respect to the statements or omissions that resulted in such loss, claim, damage or liability, or action in respect thereof, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the BreitBurn Parties, on the one hand, and the Managers, on the other, with respect to such offering shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering of the Units purchased under this Agreement as determined by this Agreement or any Applicable Terms Agreement (before deducting expenses) received by the Partnership, as set forth in the table on the cover page of the Prospectus, on the one hand, and the total compensation and underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Managers with respect to the Units purchased under this Agreement or such applicable Terms Agreement, as set forth in the table on the cover page of the Prospectus, on the other hand. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the BreitBurn Parties or the Managers, the intent of the parties and their relative knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The BreitBurn Parties and the Managers agree that it would not be just and equitable if contributions pursuant to this Section 6(d) were to be determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Managers were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to herein. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the loss, claim, damage or liability, or action in respect thereof, referred to above in this Section 6(d) shall be deemed to include, for purposes of this Section 6(d), any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 6(d), no Manager shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the net proceeds from the sale of the Units underwritten by it exceeds the amount of any damages that such Manager has otherwise paid or become liable to pay by reason of any untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Managers’ obligations to contribute as provided in this Section 6(d) are several in proportion to their respective underwriting obligations and not joint.

(e) The Managers severally confirm that (i) the names of the Managers and (ii) the statement that the Managers will not engage in any transactions that stabilize the Common Units appearing in the last sentence of the first paragraph under the caption “Plan of Distribution” in the Prospectus Supplement dated March 19, 2014 are correct and the BreitBurn Parties acknowledge and agree that such statements constitute the only information concerning such Managers furnished in writing to the Partnership by or on behalf of the Managers specifically for inclusion in the Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto.

Termination.

(a) The BreitBurn Parties may terminate this Agreement in their sole discretion at any time upon prior written notice to the Managers. Any such termination shall be without liability of any party to the other party, except that (i) with respect to any pending sale, the obligations of the BreitBurn Parties, including, without limitation, in respect of compensation of any Manager, shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding such termination; and (ii) the provisions of Sections 1, 3 (unless no Units have been previously sold hereunder or under any Terms Agreement), 4, 6, 12, 14 and 15 of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding such termination. In the case of any sale by the Partnership pursuant to a Terms Agreement, the obligations of the BreitBurn Parties pursuant to such Terms Agreement and this Agreement may not be terminated by any BreitBurn Party without the prior written consent of such Manager.

(b) Each Manager may terminate its own obligations under this Agreement in its sole discretion at any time upon giving prior written notice to the BreitBurn Parties. Any such termination shall have no effect on the obligations of any other Manager under this Agreement and shall be without liability of any party to the other party, except that the provisions of Sections 1, 3 (unless no Units have been previously sold hereunder or under any Terms Agreement), 4, 6, 12, 14 and 15 of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding such termination. In the case of any purchase by such Manager pursuant to a Terms Agreement, such Manager may, by written notice to the BreitBurn Parties, terminate its obligations pursuant to such Terms Agreement at any time prior to or on the Settlement Date if, since the time of execution of the Terms Agreement or the respective dates as of which information is given in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus:

(i) trading of any securities of the Partnership shall have been suspended on any exchange or in any over-the-counter market;

(ii) trading generally shall have been suspended or materially limited on or by, as the case may be, any “national securities exchange” (as defined in the Exchange Act), or minimum or maximum prices shall have been generally established on any such exchange, or additional material governmental restrictions, not in force on the date of this Agreement, shall have been imposed upon trading in securities generally by any such exchange or by order of the Commission or any court or other governmental authority;

(iii) a general banking moratorium shall have been declared by any of Federal, New York or Delaware authorities or a material disruption in commercial banking or securities settlement or clearance services in the United States shall have occurred and as result thereof, in the sole judgment of the Managers, it is impractical or inadvisable to proceed with the offering or delivery of the Units as contemplated by the Prospectus (exclusive of any amendment or supplement thereto);

(iv) the United States shall have become engaged in new hostilities, there shall have been an escalation in hostilities involving the United States or there shall have been a declaration of a national emergency or war by the United States or there shall have occurred such a material adverse change in general domestic or international economic,

political or financial conditions, including, without limitation, as a result of terrorist activities after the date hereof (or the effect of international conditions on the financial markets in the United States shall be such), the effect of any of which is such as to make it impracticable or inadvisable to market the Units on the terms and in the manner contemplated by the Prospectus (exclusive of any amendment or supplement thereto);

(v) any of the events described in Section 5(j) shall have occurred; or

(vi) if there shall have been a Material Adverse Effect.

(c) This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect until the earliest to occur of (A) termination of the Agreement pursuant to Section 7(a) or 7(b) above or otherwise by mutual written agreement of the parties and (B) such date that the aggregate gross sales proceeds of the Units sold pursuant to this Agreement (including, without limitation, one or more Terms Agreements pursuant hereto) equals the Maximum Amount.

(d) Any termination of this Agreement shall be effective on the date specified in the notice of termination; provided that such termination shall not be effective until the close of business on the date of receipt of such notice by the Managers or the BreitBurn Parties, as the case may be. If such termination shall occur prior to the Settlement Date for any sale of Units, such sale shall settle in accordance with the provisions of Section 2 (in the case of an Agency Transaction) or in accordance with the relevant Terms Agreement (in the case of a Principal Transaction).

8. Research Analyst Independence. Each of the BreitBurn Parties acknowledges that each Manager’s research analysts and research departments are required to be independent from their respective investment banking divisions and are subject to certain regulations and internal policies, and that such Manager’s research analysts may hold views and make statements or investment recommendations and/or publish research reports with respect to the Partnership or the offering of the Units that differ from the views of their respective investment banking divisions. Each of the BreitBurn Parties hereby waives and releases, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims that such party may have against the Managers with respect to any conflict of interest that may arise from the fact that the views expressed by their independent research analysts and research departments may be different from or inconsistent with the views or advice communicated to the Partnership by such Manager’s investment banking divisions. Each of the BreitBurn Parties acknowledges that each of the Managers is a full service securities firm and as such from time to time, subject to applicable securities laws, may effect transactions for its own account or the account of its customers and hold long or short positions in debt or equity securities of the companies that may be the subject of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

9. No Fiduciary Duty. Each of the BreitBurn Parties acknowledges and agrees that in connection with this offering, the sale of the Units, or any other services the Managers may be deemed to be providing hereunder, notwithstanding any preexisting relationship, advisory or otherwise, between the parties or any oral representations or assurances previously or subsequently made by the Managers: (i) no fiduciary or agency relationship between any of the BreitBurn Parties and any other person, on the one hand, and any Manager, on the other, exists;

(ii) no Manager is acting as an advisor, expert or otherwise, to any of the BreitBurn Parties, including, without limitation, with respect to the determination of the public offering price of the Units, and such relationship between any of the BreitBurn Parties, on the one hand, and any Manager, on the other, is entirely and solely commercial, based on arms-length negotiations; (iii) any duties and obligations that any Manager may have to any of the BreitBurn Parties shall be limited to those duties and obligations specifically stated herein; (iv) each Manager and its respective affiliates may have interests that differ from those of the BreitBurn Parties; and (v) the BreitBurn Parties have each consulted their own legal and financial advisors to the extent they deemed appropriate. Each of the BreitBurn Parties hereby waives and releases, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims that it may have against any Manager with respect to any breach of fiduciary duty in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

17. Each of the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, as of its date and the date hereof, appears on its face to be appropriately responsive in all material respects to the requirements of the Securities Act and the Rules and Regulations, except that in each case such counsel need express no opinion with respect to the financial statements and the notes and financial schedules thereto and or other financial, reserve or statistical data contained or incorporated by reference in or omitted from the Registration Statement or the Prospectus.

C-4

18. The statements made or incorporated by reference in each of the Registration Statement and the Prospectus under the captions “Description of the Common Units,” “The Partnership Agreement,” “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations,” and “Risk Factors—Tax Risks to Unitholders,” as updated, amended or supplemented by the statements made or incorporated by reference in each of the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, insofar as they purport to constitute summaries of the terms of the Common Units or statutes, rules or regulations, legal and governmental proceedings or contracts and other documents, constitute accurate summaries of the terms of such Common Units, statutes, rules and regulations, legal and governmental proceedings and contracts and other documents in all material respects. The description of the federal statutes and regulations set forth or incorporated by reference in each of the Registration Statement and the Prospectus under “Business—Environmental Matters and Regulation” and “Business—Other Regulation of the Oil and Gas Industry” fairly describe in all material respects the portions of the federal statutes and regulations addressed thereby.

19. Each of the Partnership Agreement, the OLP Agreement, the GP LLC Agreement and the OLP GP Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the parties thereto and is a valid and legally binding agreement of such parties thereto, enforceable against the parties thereto in accordance with their respective terms; provided, that, with respect to each such agreement, the enforceability thereof may be limited by (A) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws from time to time in effect affecting creditors’ rights and remedies generally and by general principles of equity (regardless of whether such principles are considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) and (B) public policy, applicable law relating to fiduciary duties and indemnification and an implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing.

20. The opinion of counsel filed as Exhibit 8.1 to the Partnership’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Commission on [__], 2014 and incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement is confirmed and the Managers may rely upon such opinion as if it were addressed to them.

21. None of the Delaware Entities is and, after giving effect to the offer and sale of the Units and the application of the proceeds therefrom as described under “Use of Proceeds” in each of the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, none of them will be, as a result thereof, an “investment company” or a company “controlled” by an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder.

In rendering such opinion, such counsel may (i) rely in respect of matters of fact upon certificates of officers and employees of the BreitBurn Parties and upon information obtained from public officials, (ii) assume that all documents submitted to them as originals are authentic, that all copies submitted to them conform to the originals thereof, and that the signatures on all documents examined by them are genuine, (iii) state that its opinion is limited to matters governed by the federal laws of the United States of America, the Delaware LP Act, the Delaware LLC Act and the DGCL, (iv) with respect to the opinions expressed as to the due qualification or registration as a foreign limited partnership or limited liability company, as the case may be, of the BreitBurn Entities, state that such opinions are based upon certificates of

C-5

foreign qualification or registration provided by the Secretary of State of the States listed on Annex 2 hereof (each of which shall be dated as of a date not more than fourteen days prior to the date of such opinion and shall be provided to the Managers) and (v) state that they express no opinion with respect to state or local taxes or tax statutes to which any of the limited partners of the Partnership or any of the BreitBurn Entities may be subject.

In addition, such counsel shall state that they have participated in conferences with certain officers and other representatives of the BreitBurn Parties, representatives of the independent public accountants and reserve engineers of the Partnership, and with your representatives and counsel, at which the contents of the Registration Statement and the Prospectus and related matters were discussed, and although such counsel has not independently verified, is not passing upon, and is not assuming any responsibility for the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the statements contained in, the Registration Statement and the Prospectus (except to the extent specified in clauses (xviii) and (xix) in the foregoing opinion), based on the foregoing, no facts have come to such counsel’s attention that lead such counsel to believe that:

(A) the Registration Statement, as of the latest Effective Date, contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or

(B) the Prospectus, as of its date and as of the date of such opinion, contained or contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading,

it being understood that such counsel expresses no statement or belief in this letter with respect to (i) the financial statements and related schedules, including the notes and schedules thereto and the auditor’s report thereon, (ii) any other financial, accounting and reserve information included or incorporated by reference in, or excluded from, the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, and (iii) representations and warranties and other statements of fact included in the exhibits to the Registration Statement.

Each of Mercury Michigan Company, LLC, Beaver Creek Pipeline, L.L.C., Terra Energy Company LLC and Terra Pipeline Company LLC (collectively, the “Michigan Entities”) is validly existing and is in good standing as a limited liability company, under the laws of the state of Michigan. Each of the Michigan Entities has full limited liability company power and authority necessary to own or lease its properties and to conduct its business, in each case in all material respects as described in each of the Registration Statement and the Prospectus. Each of the Michigan Entities is duly qualified to do business and in good standing as a foreign limited liability company in each jurisdiction as set forth on Annex 1 to this opinion.

2. The Operating LP owns, directly or indirectly, all of the outstanding membership interests in the Michigan Entities; such membership interests have been duly authorized and validly issued in accordance with the applicable limited liability company agreement of such entity and are fully paid (to the extent required under the applicable limited liability company agreement) and nonassessable (except as such nonassessability may be affected by the laws of the State of Michigan); and the Operating LP owns such membership interests free and clear of all Liens (except restrictions on transferability as described in the Registration Statement) (i) in respect of which a financing statement under the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of Michigan naming the Operating LP as a debtor is on file in the office of the Secretary of State of the State of Michigan or (ii) otherwise known to such counsel, without independent investigation, other than those created by or arising under the laws of the State of Michigan or the Credit Facility.

In rendering such opinion, such counsel may (A) rely in respect of material matters of fact upon certificates of officers and employees of the Michigan Entities and upon information obtained from public officials, (B) assume that all documents submitted to them as originals are authentic, that all copies submitted to them conform to the originals thereof, and that the signatures on all documents examined by them are genuine, (C) state that their opinions are limited to the laws of the State of Michigan and federal laws, (D) with respect to the opinions expressed in paragraph 1 above as to the due qualification or registration of each of the Michigan Entities as a foreign limited liability company, as the case may be, state that such opinions are based upon certificates of foreign qualification or registration provided by the Secretary of State of the applicable state (each of which will be dated as of a date not more than ten days prior to the date of such opinion and shall be provided to the Managers) and (E) state that they express no opinion with respect to state or local taxes or tax statutes to which the Michigan Entities may be subject.

1. None of (i) the offering and sale by the Partnership of the Units, (ii) the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement or any Terms Agreement (the “Transaction Agreements”) or (iii) the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby by each of the BreitBurn Parties party thereto and the application of the proceeds from the sale of the Units as described under the caption “Use of Proceeds” in each of the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, by the BreitBurn Parties conflicts with, or, results in a breach, default (and no event has occurred that, with notice or lapse of time or otherwise, would constitute such an event) or violation of, or imposition of any Lien upon any property or assets of the BreitBurn Entities pursuant to (i) any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement, lease or other agreement or instrument known to me (excluding any agreements or instruments listed on Annex 3 to Exhibit C of this Agreement) to which any of the BreitBurn Entities is a party or by which any of them or any of their properties may be bound, or (ii) any order, judgment, decree or injunction known to me of any court or governmental agency or body to which any of the BreitBurn Entities or any of their properties is subject, which conflict, breach, default, violation or lien could, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or could reasonably be expected to materially impair the ability of any of the BreitBurn Parties to perform their obligations under the Transaction Agreements.

2. Such counsel knows of no material legal or governmental actions, suits or proceedings pending or threatened against any of the BreitBurn Entities that would be required to be described in a registration statement filed under the Securities Act, except as set forth in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus. To such counsel’s knowledge, other than as set forth in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, there are no legal or governmental proceedings pending to which the BreitBurn Entities are a party or of which any property of the BreitBurn Entities is the subject which are likely to result in, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect. Other than as set forth in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, to such counsel’s knowledge, no such proceedings have been overtly threatened in writing by governmental authorities or by others, which have not been resolved.

In rendering such opinion, such counsel may (A) rely in respect of matters of fact upon certificates of officers and employees of BreitBurn Entities and upon information obtained from public officials, (B) assume that all documents submitted to him as originals are authentic, that all copies submitted to him conform to the originals thereof, and that the signatures on all documents examined by him are genuine, (C) state that his opinion is limited to federal laws and the laws of the State of California and (D) with respect to the opinions expressed above, state that his opinion is limited to and based upon the pleadings of which he is aware, filed as of the date of such opinion, in pending actions, suits or proceedings against or affecting the BreitBurn Entities or any of their respective properties.

(A) the Registration Statement, as of the latest Effective Date, included an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading, or

(B) the Prospectus, as of its date and as of the date of the opinion, contained or contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading,
