Section 3.14 Certain Fees. No fees or commissions will be payable by BreitBurn to brokers, finders or investment bankers with respect to the sale of any of the Purchased Units or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 3.15 No Side Agreements. Except for the confidentiality agreements and the Registration Rights Agreement entered into by and between each of the Purchasers and BreitBurn, there are no other agreements by, among or between BreitBurn or any of its Affiliates, on the one hand, and any of the Purchasers or their Affiliates, on the other hand, with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby nor promises or inducements for future transactions between or among any of such parties.

Section 3.16 Internal Accounting Controls. BreitBurn and its Subsidiaries maintain a system of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurance that (i) transactions are executed in accordance with management’s general or specific authorizations, (ii) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP and to maintain asset accountability, (iii) access to assets is permitted only in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization and (iv) the recorded accountability for assets is compared with the existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any differences.

Section 3.17 Material Agreements. BreitBurn has provided the Purchasers with, or made available to the Purchasers through the BreitBurn SEC Documents, correct and complete copies of all material agreements (as defined in Section 601(b)(10) of Regulation S-K promulgated by the Commission) and of all exhibits to the BreitBurn SEC Documents, including

amendments to or other modifications of pre-existing material agreements, entered into by BreitBurn.

Section 3.18 Preemptive Rights or Registration Rights. Except (i) as set forth in the Partnership Agreement, (ii) as provided in the Basic Documents or (iii) for existing awards under BreitBurn’s 2006 Long-Term Incentive Plan, the Xxxxxxxx Amended and Restated Employment Agreement or the Xxxxxxxxxxx Amended and Restated Employment Agreement, there are no preemptive rights or other rights to subscribe for or to purchase, nor any restriction upon the voting or transfer of, any Common Units or other limited partnership or membership interests of BreitBurn or any of its Subsidiaries, in each case pursuant to any other agreement or instrument to which any of such Persons is a party or by which any one of them may be bound. Neither the execution of this Agreement, nor the issuance of the Purchased Units as contemplated by this Agreement gives rise to any rights for or relating to the registration of any securities of BreitBurn, other than pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Partnership Agreement and the Calumet Transaction Documents.

Section 3.19 Insurance. BreitBurn and its Subsidiaries are insured against such losses and risks and in such amounts as BreitBurn believes in its sole discretion to be prudent for its businesses. BreitBurn does not have any reason to believe that it or any Subsidiary will not be able to renew its existing insurance coverage as and when such coverage expires or to obtain similar coverage from similar insurers as may be necessary to continue its business.

Section 3.20 Acknowledgment Regarding Purchase of Purchased Common Units. BreitBurn acknowledges and agrees that (i) each of the Purchasers is participating in the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Basic Documents at BreitBurn’s request and BreitBurn has concluded that such participation is in BreitBurn’s best interest and is consistent with BreitBurn’s objectives and (ii) each of the Purchasers is acting solely in the capacity of an arm’s length purchaser. BreitBurn further acknowledges that no Purchaser is acting or has acted as an advisor, agent or fiduciary of BreitBurn (or in any similar capacity) with respect to this Agreement or the other Basic Documents and any advice given by any Purchaser or any of its respective Representatives in connection with this Agreement or the other Basic Documents is merely incidental to the Purchasers’ purchase of the Purchased Units. BreitBurn further represents to each Purchaser that BreitBurn’s decision to enter into this Agreement has been based solely on the independent evaluation of the transactions contemplated hereby by BreitBurn and its Representatives.

ARTICLE IV

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF EACH PURCHASER

Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly, represents and warrants to BreitBurn with respect to itself, on and as of the date of this Agreement and on and as of the Closing Date, as follows:

Section 4.1 Valid Existence. Such Purchaser (i) is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of its respective jurisdiction of organization and (ii) has all requisite power, and has all material governmental licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals, necessary to own its Properties and carry on its business as its business is now being conducted, except where the failure to obtain such licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals would not have and would not reasonably be expected to have a Purchaser Material Adverse Effect.

Section 4.2 Authorization, Enforceability. Such Purchaser has all necessary power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated thereby, and the execution, delivery and performance by such Purchaser of this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement has been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of the Purchaser; and each of this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of such Purchaser, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally or by general principles of equity, including principles of commercial reasonableness, fair dealing and good faith.

Section 4.3 No Breach. The execution, delivery and performance by such Purchaser of this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement to which it is a party and all other agreements and instruments in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement to which it is a party, and compliance by such Purchaser with the terms and provisions hereof and thereof and the purchase of the Purchased Units by such Purchaser do not and will not (a) violate any provision of any Law, governmental permit, determination or award having applicability to such Purchaser or any of its Properties, (b) conflict with or result in a violation of any provision of the organizational documents of such Purchaser or (c) require any consent (other than standard internal consents), approval or notice under or result in a violation or breach of or constitute (with or without due notice or lapse of time or both) a default (or give rise to any right of termination, cancellation or acceleration) under (i) any note, bond, mortgage, license, or loan or credit agreement to which such Purchaser is a party or by which such Purchaser or any of its Properties may be bound or (ii) any other such agreement, instrument or obligation, except in the case of clauses (a) and (c) where such violation, default, breach, termination, cancellation, failure to receive consent or approval, or acceleration with respect to the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.2 would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Purchaser Material Adverse Effect.

Section 4.4 Investment. The Purchased Units are being acquired for such Purchaser’s own account, or the accounts of clients for whom such Purchaser exercises discretionary investment authority, not as a nominee or agent, and with no present intention of distributing the Purchased Units or any part thereof, and such Purchaser has no present intention of selling or granting any participation in or otherwise distributing the same in any transaction in violation of the securities Laws of the United States of America or any state, without prejudice, however, to such Purchaser’s right at all times to sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Purchased Units under a registration statement under the Securities Act and applicable state securities Laws or under an exemption from such registration available thereunder (including, if available, Rule 144 promulgated thereunder). If such Purchaser should in the future decide to dispose of any of

the Purchased Units, such Purchaser understands and agrees (a) that it may do so only (i) in compliance with the Securities Act and applicable state securities Law, as then in effect, or pursuant to an exemption therefrom or (ii) in the manner contemplated by any registration statement pursuant to which such securities are being offered, and (b) that stop-transfer instructions to that effect will be in effect with respect to such securities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Purchaser may at any time enter into one or more total return swaps with respect to such Purchaser’s Purchased Units with a third party provided that such transactions are exempt from registration under the Securities Act.

Section 4.5 Nature of Purchaser. Such Purchaser represents and warrants to, and covenants and agrees with, BreitBurn that (a) it is a “qualified institutional buyer” within the meaning of Rule 144A promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Act or an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated by the Commission pursuant to the Securities Act and (b) by reason of its business and financial experience it has such knowledge, sophistication and experience in making similar investments and in business and financial matters generally so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment in the Purchased Units, is able to bear the economic risk of such investment and, at the present time, would be able to afford a complete loss of such investment.

Section 4.6 Receipt of Information; Authorization. Such Purchaser acknowledges that it has (a) had access to the BreitBurn SEC Documents, (b) had access to information regarding the BEP Acquisition and its potential effect on BreitBurn’s operations and financial results and (c) been provided a reasonable opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from Representatives of BreitBurn regarding such matters including matters with respect to the BEP Acquisition.

Section 4.7 Restricted Securities. Such Purchaser understands that the Purchased Units it is purchasing are characterized as “restricted securities” under the federal securities Laws inasmuch as they are being acquired from BreitBurn in a transaction not involving a public offering and that under such Laws and applicable regulations such securities may be resold without registration under the Securities Act only in certain limited circumstances. In this connection, such Purchaser represents that it is knowledgeable with respect to Rule 144 of the Commission promulgated under the Securities Act.

Section 4.8 Certain Fees. No fees or commissions will be payable by such Purchaser to brokers, finders or investment bankers with respect to the sale of any of the Purchased Units or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. BreitBurn will not be liable for any such fees or commissions.

Section 4.9 Legend. It is understood that the certificates evidencing the Purchased Units will initially bear the following legend: “These securities have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. They may not be sold, offered for sale, pledged or hypothecated in the absence of a registration statement in effect with respect to the securities under such Act or pursuant to an exemption from registration thereunder and, in the case of a transaction exempt from registration, unless sold pursuant to Rule 144 under such Act or the

issuer has received documentation reasonably satisfactory to it that such transaction does not require registration under such Act.”

Section 4.10 No Side Agreements. Except for the confidentiality agreements and the Registration Rights Agreement entered into by and between such Purchaser and BreitBurn, there are no other agreements by, among or between BreitBurn or its Affiliates, on the one hand, and such Purchaser or its Affiliates, on the other hand, with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby nor promises or inducements for future transactions between or among any of such parties.

ARTICLE V

COVENANTS

Section 5.1 Certain Special Allocations of Book and Taxable Income. To the extent that the Common Unit Price is less than the trading price of the Common Units on The Nasdaq Global Market as of the Closing Date, the General Partner intends to specially allocate items of book and taxable income to the Purchasers so that their capital accounts in their Common Units are consistent, on a per-Common Unit basis, with the capital accounts of the other holders of Common Units (and thus to assure fungibility of all Common Units). Such special allocation will occur upon the earlier to occur of any taxable period of BreitBurn ending upon, or after, (i) a book-up event or book-down event in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f) or a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of BreitBurn occurring after the date of the issuance of the Common Units or (ii) the transfer of the Common Units to a Person that is not an Affiliate of the holder. A Purchaser holding a Common Unit shall be required to provide notice to the General Partner of the transfer of a Common Unit to a Person that is not an Affiliate of the Purchaser no later than the last Business Day of the calendar year during which such transfer occurred, unless by virtue of the application of clause (i) above, the General Partner has determined that the Common Units are consistent, on a per-Common Unit basis, with the capital accounts of the other holders of Common Units; provided, that such Purchaser may cure any failure to provide such notice by providing such notice within 20 days of the last Business Day of such calendar year; provided, further, that the sole and exclusive remedy for any Purchaser’s failure to provide any such notice shall be the enforcement of the remedy of specific performance against such Purchaser and there will be no monetary damages.

Section 5.2 Subsequent Public Offerings. Without the written consent of the holders of a majority of the Purchased Units, taken as a whole, from the date of this Agreement until the Lock-Up Date, BreitBurn shall not grant, issue or sell any Common Units, or other equity or voting securities of BreitBurn (“Partnership Securities”), any securities convertible into or exchangeable therefor or take any other action that may result in the issuance of any of the foregoing, other than (i) the issuance of the Purchased Units, (ii) the issuance of Awards (as defined in BreitBurn’s 2006 Long-Term Incentive Plan), the issuance of Common Units upon the exercise of options to purchase Common Units granted pursuant to the BreitBurn 2006 Long-Term Incentive Plan and the issuance of equity-based securities pursuant to a management or employee benefit plan or in connection with the restructuring of such a plan, (iii) the issuance or sale of Partnership Securities issued or sold in a registered public offering to finance future acquisitions that are accretive to distributable cash flow per Common Unit (or the repayment of

indebtedness incurred in connection with such accretive acquisitions), (iv) the issuance or sale of Partnership Securities issued, including without limitation to Provident Energy Trust and its affiliates, as payment of any part of the purchase price for businesses that are acquired by the Partnership from Provident Energy Trust and its affiliates or any third party, and (v) the issuance or sale of Partnership Securities issued or sold through a private placement provided that (Y) subject to those rights granted under the Calumet Unit Purchase Agreement, the Purchasers individually are granted the right to participate in such private placement and to purchase a percentage of the Partnership Securities sold in such private placement pro rata based upon their purchase of the Purchased Units sold hereby and (Z) each party participating in such private placement shall agree that it will not sell any of its Partnership Securities for a period of 90-days following the closing of such private placement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, BreitBurn shall not, and shall cause its directors, officers and Affiliates not to, sell, offer for sale or solicit offers to buy any security (as defined in the Securities Act) that would be integrated with the sale of the Purchased Units in a manner that would require the registration under the Securities Act of the sale of the Purchased Units to the Purchasers.

Section 5.3 Purchaser Lock-Up. Without the prior written consent of BreitBurn, each Purchaser agrees that from and after the Closing it will not sell any of its Purchased Units prior to the Lock-Up Date; provided, however, that each Purchaser may: (i) enter into one or more total return swaps or similar transactions at any time with respect to the Purchased Units purchased by such Purchaser provided that such transactions are exempt from registration under the Securities Act; or (ii) transfer its Purchased Units to an Affiliate of such Purchaser or to any other Purchaser or an Affiliate of such other Purchaser provided that such Affiliate agrees to the restrictions in this Section 5.3.

Section 5.4 Non-Disclosure; Interim Public Filings. BreitBurn shall, as soon as practicable following execution of this Agreement, issue a press release acceptable to the Purchasers disclosing all material terms of the transactions contemplated herein and in the other Basic Documents. Following the Closing Date, BreitBurn shall file a Current Report on Form 8-K with the Commission (the “Form 8-K Filing”) describing the terms of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Basic Documents and including as exhibits to the Form 8-K this Agreement and the other Basic Documents, in the form required by the Exchange Act. Thereafter, BreitBurn shall timely file any filings and notices required by the Commission or applicable Law with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby. BreitBurn and the Purchasers shall consult with each other in issuing any press releases or otherwise making public statements or filings and other communications with the Commission or any regulatory agency or The Nasdaq Global Market with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby, and neither Party shall issue any such press release or otherwise make any such public statement, filing or other communication without the prior consent of the other, except if such disclosure is required by Law, in which case the disclosing Party shall promptly provide the other Party with prior notice of such public statement, filing or other communication. Notwithstanding the foregoing, BreitBurn shall not publicly disclose the name of any Purchaser, or include the name of any Purchaser in any press release, without the prior written consent of such Purchaser except to the extent the names of the Purchasers are included in this Agreement as filed as an exhibit to the 8-K Filing and the press release referred to in the first sentence above.

Section 5.5 Taking of Necessary Action. Each of the Parties hereto shall use its commercially reasonable efforts promptly to take or cause to be taken all action and promptly to do or cause to be done all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Law and regulations to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided, that nothing contained herein shall require BreitBurn to consummate the BEP Acquisition. Without limiting the foregoing, BreitBurn and each Purchaser will use its commercially reasonable efforts to make all filings and obtain all consents of Governmental Authorities that may be necessary or, in the reasonable opinion of the Purchasers or BreitBurn, as the case may be, advisable for the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Basic Documents.

Section 5.6 Use of Proceeds. BreitBurn shall use the collective proceeds from the sale of the Purchased Units to finance the BEP Acquisition. The remainder of the proceeds, if any, shall be used to repay indebtedness under the BreitBurn Credit Facility.

Section 5.7 Tax Information. BreitBurn shall cooperate with the Purchasers and provide the Purchasers with any reasonably requested tax information related to their ownership of the Purchased Units.

ARTICLE VII

INDEMNIFICATION, COSTS AND EXPENSES

Section 7.1 Indemnification by BreitBurn. BreitBurn agrees to indemnify each Purchaser and its Representatives (collectively, “Purchaser Related Parties”) from, and hold each of them harmless against, any and all actions, suits, proceedings (including any investigations, litigation or inquiries), demands and causes of action, and, in connection therewith, and promptly upon demand, pay and reimburse each of them for all reasonable costs, losses, liabilities, damages or expenses of any kind or nature whatsoever, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel and all other reasonable expenses incurred in connection with investigating, defending or preparing to defend any such matter that may be incurred by them or asserted against or involve any of them as a result of, arising out of or in any way related to the breach of any of the representations, warranties or covenants of BreitBurn contained herein; provided that such claim for indemnification is made prior to the expiration of such representation or warranty; provided further, that no Purchaser Related Party shall be entitled to recover special, consequential (including lost profits) or punitive damages. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, consequential damages shall not be deemed to include diminution in value, which is specifically included in damages covered by Purchaser Related Parties indemnification.

Section 7.2 Indemnification by Purchasers. Each Purchaser agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify BreitBurn, the General Partner, and their respective Representatives (collectively, “BreitBurn Related Parties”) from, and hold each of them harmless against, any and all actions, suits, proceedings (including any investigations, litigation or inquiries), demands and causes of action, and, in connection therewith, and promptly upon demand, pay or reimburse each of them for all reasonable costs, losses, liabilities, damages or expenses of any kind or nature whatsoever, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of

counsel and all other reasonable expenses incurred in connection with investigating, defending or preparing to defend any such matter that may be incurred by them or asserted against or involve any of them as a result of, arising out of or in any way related to the breach of any of the representations, warranties or covenants of such Purchaser contained herein; provided that such claim for indemnification relating to a breach of any representation or warranty is made prior to the expiration of such representation or warranty; and provided further, that no BreitBurn Related Party shall be entitled to recover special, consequential (including lost profits) or punitive damages. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, consequential damages shall not be deemed to include diminution in value, which is specifically included in damages covered by BreitBurn Related Parties indemnification.

Section 7.3 Indemnification Procedure. Promptly after any BreitBurn Related Party or Purchaser Related Party (hereinafter, the “Indemnified Party”) has received notice of any indemnifiable claim hereunder, or the commencement of any action, suit or proceeding by a third person that the Indemnified Party believes in good faith is an indemnifiable claim under this Agreement, the Indemnified Party shall give the indemnitor hereunder (the “Indemnifying Party”) written notice of such claim or the commencement of such action, suit or proceeding, but failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party will not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability it may have to such Indemnified Party hereunder except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such failure. Such notice shall state the nature and the basis of such claim to the extent then known. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to defend and settle, at its own expense and by its own counsel who shall be reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party, any such matter as long as the Indemnifying Party pursues the same diligently and in good faith. If the Indemnifying Party undertakes to defend or settle, it shall promptly notify the Indemnified Party of its intention to do so, and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party and its counsel in all commercially reasonable respects in the defense thereof and the settlement thereof. Such cooperation shall include, but shall not be limited to, furnishing the Indemnifying Party with any books, records and other information reasonably requested by the Indemnifying Party and in the Indemnified Party’s possession or control. Such cooperation of the Indemnified Party shall be at the cost of the Indemnifying Party. After the Indemnifying Party has notified the Indemnified Party of its intention to undertake to defend or settle any such asserted liability, and for so long as the Indemnifying Party diligently pursues such defense, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any additional legal expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with any defense or settlement of such asserted liability; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party shall be entitled (i) at its expense, to participate in the defense of such asserted liability and the negotiations of the settlement thereof and (ii) if (A) the Indemnifying Party has failed to assume the defense or employ counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party or (B) if the defendants in any such action include both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party and counsel to the Indemnified Party shall have concluded that there may be reasonable defenses available to the Indemnified Party that are different from or in addition to those available to the Indemnifying Party or if the interests of the Indemnified Party reasonably may be deemed to conflict with the interests of the Indemnifying Party, then the Indemnified Party shall have the right to select one separate counsel and to assume such legal defense and otherwise to participate in the defense of such action, with the expenses and fees of such separate counsel and other expenses related to such participation to be reimbursed by the Indemnifying Party as incurred. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party shall not settle

any indemnified claim without the consent of the Indemnified Party, unless the settlement thereof imposes no liability or obligation on, involves no admission of wrongdoing or malfeasance by, and includes a complete release from liability of, the Indemnified Party.

Except as expressly permitted by this Section 8.4(c), such rights and obligations may not otherwise be transferred except with the prior written consent of BreitBurn (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), in which case the assignee shall be deemed to be a Purchaser hereunder with respect to such assigned rights or obligations and shall agree to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement.

Section 8.5 Confidentiality and Non-Disclosure.
