below) under Parent's 1996 Stock Incentive Plan that are unvested and
forfeitable as of the Closing Date, each
2
such Transferred Employee shall receive an amount of cash equal to the
difference between (A) the average of the closing sales prices on the
American Stock Exchange of the Parent stock for the five trading days
immediately preceding the date hereof and (B) the option exercise
price of such options, multiplied by the number of unvested shares
subject to such options. Such amount shall be paid by Parent as soon

Transferred Employees (identified on Schedule D attached hereto) under
----------
Parent's 1996 Stock Incentive Plan that are unvested on the Closing
Date, PAAI shall grant, and the Successor GP shall assume
administrative responsibility for, phantom equity awards (payable in
subordinated units of the MLP or, to the extent all subordinated units
outstanding have been converted into common units, payable in common
units) comparable in value to such options and subject to the same
vesting schedule as such options. The number of subordinated units of
the MLP subject to such phantom equity awards shall be determined
for each such Transferred Employee by (A) multiplying the difference
between (1) the average of the closing sales prices on the American
Stock Exchange of the Parent stock for the five trading days
immediately preceding the date hereof and (2) the option exercise
price of such options, by the number of unvested shares subject to
such options, and (B) dividing the result in clause (A) by $22.00,
rounded up to the nearest whole unit. Such phantom equity awards shall
provide for distribution equivalent rights ("DERs"), i.e., the right
to receive the cash equivalent of any distributions made with respect
to a subordinated unit during the period from the Closing Date and
prior to the vesting of such phantom equity award, that shall be
payable in cash on the vesting of the applicable phantom equity award.
Parent shall, or shall cause its Affiliates to, deliver to each such
Transferred Employee for the account of the Successor GP on or prior

Transferred Employee shall have the option to receive (X) (i) such number
of subordinated units of the MLP valued at $22.00 equal to the Present
Value of such obligation on the date hereof rounded up to the nearest whole
unit, or (ii) cash equal in value to the Present Value of such obligation
on the date hereof (provided such Transferred Employee applies such cash
(net of taxes required under (Y) below) to the purchase of an interest in
PAA Management LLC and PAA Management, L.P.) (Y) less applicable tax
withholding. Present Value for this purpose shall have the meaning set
forth in the applicable Deferred Compensation Agreement. Parent hereby
agrees that it shall pay or deliver such amounts with respect to each such
Transferred Employee's Deferred Compensation Agreement as soon as

awards shall be paid by PAAI or its Affiliates in accordance with the terms
of the plan as soon as practicable following the date hereof and PAAI shall

such awards by the purchase of common units of the MLP directly or
indirectly from Parent or PAAI.
(g) Qualified Retirement Plans.
--------------------------
(i) Parent 401(k) Plan.
------------------
(A) As soon as practicable after the date hereof, the

participants in the Parent 401(k) Plan ("Plan Participants") which are
substantially equivalent to the benefits provided to participants
under the Parent 401(k) Plan (provided, however, that all matching
contributions may be paid in cash). The Successor 401(k) Plan shall
be qualified under Sections 401(a) and 401(k) of the Code and shall
provide the Plan Participants credit for service with Parent and its
affiliates (including PAAI) and their respective predecessors prior to
the Closing Date for all purposes for which service was recognized
under the Parent 401(k) Plan.
(B) As soon as practicable after the filing of the
determination letter request described in clause (C) below, Parent
shall cause the trustee of the Parent 401(k) Plan to transfer to the

which Plan Participants are currently invested (or with respect to
participant loans granted prior to the Closing Date, if any, such
loans and any promissory notes or other documents evidencing such
loans) in an amount equal to the account balances of Plan Participants
as of a valuation date (the "Valuation Date") not more than 60 days
preceding the date of transfer, increased by any contributions due for
periods prior to the Closing Date and not made as of the Valuation
Date, reduced by any benefits paid during the period following such
Valuation Date to the date of transfer, and adjusted for any
investment earnings or losses during the period following such
Valuation Date to the date of transfer (the "Account Balances").
4
(C) No later than 60 days after the Closing Date, the
Successor GP shall file a request for a determination letter with the
IRS that the Successor 401(k) Plan and related trust satisfy the
requirements for qualification under Sections 401(a) and 401(k) of the
Code. The Successor GP agrees that it shall amend the Successor
401(k) Plan in any respect as may be required by the IRS in order to
receive a favorable determination letter from the IRS that the
Successor 401(k) Plan and related trust satisfy the requirements for
qualification under Sections 401(a) and 401(k) of the Code. No
transfer shall be made unless the Successor GP files with the IRS the
request for determination letter referred to in this clause (C).
(D) In consideration of the agreements of Parent contained
in clauses (B) and (C) of this Section 1(g)(i), the Successor GP
shall, effective as of the Closing Date, assume all of the liabilities
and obligations of Parent and its affiliates in respect of the Plan
Participants and their beneficiaries under the Parent 401(k) Plan, and

Employees for the calendar year in which the Closing Date occurs, which
Forms W-2 will include all remuneration earned by Transferred Employees
from Parent, PAAI and the Successor GP during such year, and the Successor
GP will prepare and distribute such forms.
(i) The Successor GP Plans. No later than the end of the Transition
----------------------
Period (as defined below): (i) the Successor GP shall establish, for the
benefit of the Transferred Employees, employee benefit plans (the
