Item 1.01.         Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On August 17, 2006, the Board of Directors of Plains All American GP LLC, the general partner of our general partner, awarded 5,000 restricted units to each member of the Audit Committee (Everardo Goyanes, Art Smith and Taft Symonds) pursuant to the 1998 Long-Term Incentive Plan.  The restricted units will vest 25% in August 2006, and 25% every year thereafter on the August Distribution Date.  Upon vesting, the number of vested units are automatically re-granted so that the total restricted units outstanding under this grant remain at 5,000.  The restricted unit awards do not include distribution equivalent rights.  These restricted units are in addition to the 5,000 restricted units they were each previously granted.
