The Exchange Offers
 
On October 30, 2006, we completed private offerings of the 2017 Notes and the 2037 Notes. We entered into registration rights agreements with the initial purchasers in those offerings in which we agreed to deliver this prospectus and to use our reasonable best efforts to consummate the exchange offers within 300 days after the date we issued the outstanding Notes.
 
Exchange Offers We are offering to exchange new notes for:
 
• up to $400 million principal amount of our 6.125% 2017 Notes that have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”) for an equal amount of our outstanding 2017 Notes; and
 
• up to $600 million principal amount of our 6.650% 2037 Notes that have been registered under the Securities Act for an equal amount of our outstanding 2037 Notes
 
to satisfy our obligations under the registration rights agreements that we entered into when we issued the outstanding Notes in transactions exempt from registration under the Securities Act.
 
The terms of each series of the new Notes are substantially identical to those terms of each series of the outstanding Notes, except that the transfer restrictions, registration rights and provisions for additional interest relating to the outstanding Notes do not apply to the new Notes.
 
Expiration Date Each exchange offer will expire at 5:00 p.m. New York City time, on July 18, 2007, unless we decide to extend either exchange offer. We may extend one exchange offer without extending the other.
 
Condition to the Exchange Offers The registration rights agreements do not require us to accept outstanding Notes for exchange if the applicable exchange offer or the making of any exchange by a holder of the outstanding Notes

Table of Contents

would violate any applicable law or interpretation of the staff of the SEC. A minimum aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes being tendered is not a condition to either exchange offer.
 
Procedures for Tendering Outstanding Notes To participate in an exchange offer, you must follow the procedures established by The Depository Trust Company, which we call “DTC,” for tendering notes held in book-entry form. These procedures, which we call “ATOP,” require that (1) the exchange agent receive, prior to the expiration date of the applicable exchange offer, a computer generated message known as an “agent’s message” that is transmitted through DTC’s automated tender offer program, and (2) DTC confirms that:
 
• DTC has received your instructions to exchange your Notes, and
 
• you agree to be bound by the terms of the letter of transmittal.
 
For more information on tendering your outstanding Notes, please refer to the sections in this prospectus entitled “Exchange Offers — Terms of the Exchange Offers” and “— Procedures for Tendering.”
 
Guaranteed Delivery Procedures None.
 
Withdrawal of Tenders You may withdraw your tender of outstanding Notes under either exchange offer at any time prior to the expiration date. To withdraw, you must submit a notice of withdrawal to the exchange agent using ATOP procedures before 5:00 p.m. New York City time on the expiration date of the exchange offer. Please read “Exchange Offers — Withdrawal of Tenders.”
 
Acceptance of Outstanding Notes and Delivery of New Notes If you fulfill all conditions required for proper acceptance of outstanding Notes, we will accept any and all outstanding Notes that you properly tender in the applicable exchange offer before 5:00 p.m. New York City time on the expiration date. We will return to you, without expense as promptly as practicable after the expiration date, any outstanding Note that we do not accept for exchange. We will deliver the new Notes as promptly as practicable after the expiration date and acceptance of the outstanding Notes for exchange. Please refer to the section in this prospectus entitled “Exchange Offers — Terms of the Exchange Offers.”
 
Fees and Expenses We will bear all expenses related to each exchange offer. Please refer to the section in this prospectus entitled “Exchange Offers — Fees and Expenses.”
 
Use of Proceeds The issuance of the new Notes will not provide us with any new proceeds. We are making these exchange offers solely to satisfy our obligations under our registration rights agreements.
 
Consequences of Failure to Exchange Outstanding Notes If you do not exchange your outstanding Notes in the applicable exchange offer, you will no longer be able to require us to register the outstanding Notes under the Securities Act except in the limited circumstances provided under the applicable registration rights agreement. In addition, you will not be able to resell, offer to resell or otherwise transfer the outstanding Notes unless we have

registered the outstanding Notes under the Securities Act, or unless you resell, offer to resell or otherwise transfer them under an exemption from the registration requirements of, or in a transaction not subject to, the Securities Act.
 
Federal Income Tax Considerations The exchange of new Notes for 2017 Notes and the exchange of new Notes for 2037 Notes will not be a taxable event for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Please read “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences.”
 
Exchange Agent We have appointed U.S. Bank National Association as exchange agent for the exchange offers. You should direct questions and requests for assistance, requests for additional copies of this prospectus or the letter of transmittal to the exchange agent addressed as follows: Attn: Brandi Steward, U.S. Bank Corporate Trust Services, Specialized Finance Dept., 60 Livingston Avenue, St. Paul, Minnesota, 55107, telephone number (651) 495-4738.

Terms of the Notes
 
The new Notes will be identical to the outstanding Notes except that the new Notes will be registered under the Securities Act and will not have restrictions on transfer, registration rights or provisions for additional interest and will contain different administrative terms.

PAA Finance Corp. does not have any operations of any kind and will not have any revenue other than as may be incidental to its activities as a co-issuer of the Notes.

Guarantees Initially, all payments with respect to the Notes (including principal and interest) are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, by substantially all of our existing subsidiaries. In the future, our subsidiaries that guarantee other indebtedness of ours or another subsidiary must also guarantee the Notes. The guarantees are also subject to release in certain circumstances. The guarantees of each series are general unsecured obligations of the subsidiary guarantors and rank equally with the existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness of the subsidiary guarantors.
 
Ranking The Notes are general senior unsecured obligations of the issuers and rank equally with the Notes of the other series and with the existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness of the issuers.

Certain Covenants The indenture governing the Notes contains covenants that limit our ability, with certain exceptions, to:

• engage in sale-leaseback transactions; and
 
• merge or consolidate with another entity or sell, lease or transfer substantially all of our properties or assets to another entity.

RISK FACTORS
 
In addition to the other information set forth elsewhere or incorporated by reference in this prospectus (including the risk factors included in our 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K) the following factors relating to our partnership and the exchange offers and the Notes should be considered carefully in deciding whether to participate in the exchange offers.
 
Risks Related to the Exchange Offer and the Notes
 
If you do not properly tender your outstanding Notes, you will continue to hold unregistered outstanding Notes and your ability to transfer outstanding Notes will be adversely affected.
 
We will only issue new Notes in exchange for outstanding Notes that you timely and properly tender. Therefore, you should allow sufficient time to ensure timely delivery of the outstanding Notes and you should carefully follow the instructions on how to tender your outstanding Notes. Neither we nor the exchange agent is required to tell you of any defects or irregularities with respect to your tender of outstanding Notes.
 
If you do not exchange your outstanding Notes for new Notes pursuant to the applicable exchange offer, the outstanding Notes you hold will continue to be subject to the existing transfer restrictions. In general, you may not offer or sell the outstanding Notes except under an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. We do not plan to register outstanding Notes under the Securities Act unless our registration rights agreement with the initial purchaser of the outstanding Notes requires us to do so. Further, if you continue to hold any outstanding Notes after the applicable exchange offer is consummated, you may have trouble selling them because there will be fewer Notes outstanding.
 
Your right to receive payments on the Notes and the subsidiary guarantees is unsecured and will be effectively subordinated to our and our subsidiary guarantors’ existing and future secured indebtedness as well as to any existing and future indebtedness of our subsidiaries that do not guarantee the Notes.
 
The Notes are effectively subordinated to claims of our secured creditors, and the guarantees are effectively subordinated to the claims of our secured creditors as well as the secured creditors of our subsidiary guarantors. Although substantially all of our subsidiaries, other than PAA Finance Corp., the co-issuer of the Notes, will initially guarantee the Notes, the guarantees are subject to release under certain circumstances, and we may have subsidiaries that are not guarantors. In that case, the Notes would be effectively subordinated to the claims of all creditors, including trade creditors and tort claimants, of our subsidiaries that are not guarantors. In the event of the insolvency, bankruptcy, liquidation, reorganization, dissolution or winding up of the business of a subsidiary that is not a guarantor, creditors of that subsidiary would generally have the right to be paid in full before any distribution is made to us or the holders of the Notes.

EXCHANGE OFFERS
 
Purpose and Effect of the Exchange Offers
 
In connection with the issuance of the outstanding Notes, we entered into registration rights agreements with respect to each series of Notes. Under the registration rights agreements, we agreed to use our reasonable best efforts to:
 
  •  within 180 days after the original issuance of the outstanding Notes on October 30, 2006, file a registration statement with the SEC with respect to a registered offer to exchange each outstanding Note for a new Note having terms substantially identical in all material respects to such Note of such series except that the new Note will not contain terms with respect to transfer restrictions, registration rights or additional interest;
 
  •  cause the registration statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act within 270 days after the original issuance of the outstanding Notes;
 
  •  consummate the exchange of the outstanding Notes for new Notes within 300 days after the original issuance of the outstanding Notes;
 
  •  promptly following the effectiveness of the registration statement, offer the new Notes in exchange for surrender of the outstanding Notes;
 
  •  keep the exchange offers open for not less than 20 business days (or longer if required by applicable law) after the date notice of the exchange offers is mailed to the holders of the outstanding Notes; and
 
  •  exchange new Notes for all outstanding Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn before the expiration date.
 
We have fulfilled the agreements described in the first two preceding bullet points and are now offering eligible holders of the outstanding Notes the opportunity to exchange their outstanding Notes for new Notes registered under the Securities Act. Holders are eligible if they are not prohibited by any law or policy of the SEC from participating in this exchange offer. The new Notes will be substantially identical to the outstanding Notes except that the new Notes will not contain terms with respect to transfer restrictions, registration rights or additional interest.
 
Under limited circumstances, we agreed to use our reasonable best efforts to cause the SEC to declare effective a shelf registration statement for the resale of the outstanding Notes. We also agreed to use our reasonable best efforts to keep the shelf registration statement effective for up to two years after its effective date. The circumstances include if:
 
  •  a change in law or in applicable interpretations thereof by the staff of the SEC do not permit us to effect the exchange offer;
 
  •  for any other reason the exchange offer is not consummated within 300 days from October 30, 2006, the date of the original issuance of the outstanding Notes;
 
  •  an initial purchaser notifies us following consummation of the applicable exchange offer that outstanding Notes held by it are not eligible to be exchanged for new Notes in the exchange offer; or
 
  •  any holder other than an initial purchaser is not eligible to participate in the applicable exchange offer.
 
Subject to certain exceptions, we will pay additional cash interest on the applicable outstanding Notes if:
 
  •  the exchange offer registration statement is not filed with the SEC on or before the 180th day after the original issuance of the outstanding Notes;
 
  •  the exchange offer registration statement is not declared effective by the SEC on or before the 270th day after the original issuance of the outstanding Notes;


7


Table of Contents

 
  •  the exchange offers are not consummated on or before the 270th day after October 30, 2006, the date of the original issuance of the outstanding Notes;
 
  •  being obligated to file a shelf registration statement, we fail to file the shelf registration statement with the SEC on or prior to the 180th day after the date on which the obligation to file a shelf registration statement arises;
 
  •  being obligated to file a shelf registration statement, the shelf registration statement is not declared effective on or prior to the 270th day after the date on which the obligation to file a shelf registration statement arises; or
 
  •  after this registration statement or the shelf registration statement, as the case may be, is declared effective, such registration statement thereafter ceases to be effective (subject to certain exceptions) (each such event referred to in the preceding clauses being a “registration default”).
 
Such additional interest will be payable from and including the date on which any such registration default occurs to the date on which all registration defaults have been cured.
 
The rate of the additional interest on the applicable Notes will be 0.25% per year for the first 90-day period immediately following the occurrence of a registration default, and such rate will increase by an additional 0.25% per year with respect to each subsequent 90-day period until all registration defaults have been cured, up to a maximum additional interest rate of 0.50% per year. We will pay such additional interest on regular interest payment dates. Such additional interest will be in addition to any other interest payable from time to time with respect to the outstanding Notes and the new Notes.
 
Upon the filing or effectiveness of this registration statement, the consummation of the exchange offer, the filing or effectiveness of a shelf registration statement, or the effectiveness of a succeeding registration statement, as the case may be, the interest rate borne by the Notes from the date of such filing, effectiveness or consummation, as the case may be, will be reduced to the original interest rate. However, if after any such reduction in interest rate, a different event specified in the clauses above occurs, the interest rate may again be increased pursuant to the preceding provisions.
 
To exchange your outstanding Notes for transferable new Notes in the exchange offer, you will be required to make the following representations:
 
  •  any new Notes will be acquired in the ordinary course of your business;
 
  •  you have no arrangement or understanding with any person or entity to participate in the distribution of the new Notes;
 
  •  if you are not a broker-dealer, you are not engaged in and do not intend to engage in the distribution of the new Notes within the meaning of the Securities Act;
 
  •  if you are a broker-dealer that will receive new Notes for your own account in exchange for outstanding Notes, you acquired those Notes as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities and you will deliver a prospectus, as required by law, in connection with any resale of such new Notes; and
 
  •  you are not our “affiliate,” as defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act.
 
In addition, we may require you to provide information to be used in connection with the shelf registration statement to have your outstanding Notes included in the shelf registration statement. A holder who sells outstanding Notes under the shelf registration statement generally will be required to be named as a selling securityholder in the related prospectus and to deliver a prospectus to purchasers. Such a holder will also be subject to the civil liability provisions under the Securities Act in connection with such sales and will be bound by the provisions of the registration rights agreement that are applicable to such a holder, including indemnification obligations.
 
The description of the registration rights agreement contained in this section is a summary only. For more information, you should review the provisions of the registration rights agreement that we filed with the SEC as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part.

Table of Contents

 
Resale of New Notes
 
Based on no-action letters of the SEC staff issued to third parties, we believe that new Notes may be offered for resale, resold and otherwise transferred by you without further compliance with the registration and prospectus delivery provisions of the Securities Act if:
 
  •  you are not our “affiliate” within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act;
 
  •  such new Notes are acquired in the ordinary course of your business; and
 
  •  you do not intend to participate in a distribution of the new Notes.
 
The SEC, however, has not considered the exchange offer for the new Notes in the context of a no-action letter, and the SEC may not make a similar determination as in the no-action letters issued to these third parties.
 
If you tender in the exchange offer with the intention of participating in any manner in a distribution of the new Notes, you
 
  •  cannot rely on such interpretations by the SEC staff; and
 
  •  must comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act in connection with a secondary resale transaction.
 
Unless an exemption from registration is otherwise available, any security holder intending to distribute new Notes should be covered by an effective registration statement under the Securities Act. The registration statement should contain the selling security holder’s information required by Item 507 of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act.
 
This prospectus may be used for an offer to resell, resale or other retransfer of new Notes only as specifically described in this prospectus. Failure to comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements by a holder subject to these requirements could result in that holder incurring liability for which it is not indemnified by us. If you are a broker-dealer, you may participate in the exchange offer only if you acquired the outstanding Notes as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities. Each broker-dealer that receives new Notes for its own account in exchange for outstanding Notes, where such outstanding Notes were acquired by such broker-dealer as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities, must acknowledge in the letter of transmittal that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of the new Notes. Please read the section captioned “Plan of Distribution” for more details regarding the transfer of new Notes.
 
Terms of the Exchange Offers
 
Subject to the terms and conditions described in this prospectus and in the applicable letter of transmittal, we will accept for exchange any outstanding Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn prior to 5:00 p.m. New York City time on the expiration date. We will issue new Notes in principal amount equal to the principal amount of outstanding Notes surrendered under the exchange offer. Outstanding Notes may be tendered only for new Notes and only in integral multiples of $1,000.
 
Neither exchange offer is conditioned upon any minimum aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes being tendered for exchange. Each exchange offer will be conducted independently from the other exchange offer, and consummation of one exchange offer will not be conditioned upon consummation of the other.
 
As of the date of this prospectus, $400 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2017 Notes are outstanding and $600 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2037 Notes are outstanding. This prospectus is being sent to DTC, the sole registered holder of the outstanding Notes, and to all persons that we can identify as beneficial owners of the outstanding Notes. There will be no fixed record date for determining registered holders of outstanding Notes entitled to participate in either exchange offer.

Table of Contents

 
We intend to conduct each exchange offer in accordance with the provisions of the applicable registration rights agreement and the applicable requirements of the Securities Act, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the rules and regulations of the SEC. Outstanding Notes that the holders thereof do not tender for exchange in the applicable exchange offer will remain outstanding and continue to accrue interest. These outstanding Notes will be entitled to the rights and benefits such holders have under the indenture relating to the Notes and the applicable registration rights agreement.
 
We will be deemed to have accepted for exchange properly tendered outstanding Notes when we have given oral or written notice of the acceptance to the exchange agent and complied with the applicable provisions of the applicable registration rights agreement. The exchange agent will act as agent for the tendering holders for the purposes of receiving the new Notes from us.
 
If you tender outstanding Notes in the exchange offer, you will not be required to pay brokerage commissions or fees or, subject to the letter of transmittal, transfer taxes with respect to the exchange of outstanding Notes. We will pay all charges and expenses, other than certain applicable taxes described below, in connection with the exchange offer. It is important that you read the section labeled “— Fees and Expenses” for more details regarding fees and expenses incurred in the exchange offer.
 
We will return any outstanding Notes that we do not accept for exchange for any reason without expense to their tendering holder as promptly as practicable after the expiration or termination of the applicable exchange offer.
 
Expiration Date
 
Each exchange offer will expire at 5:00 p.m. New York City time on July 18, 2007, unless, in our sole discretion, we extend it. We may extend one exchange offer without extending the other.
 
Extensions, Delays in Acceptance, Termination or Amendment
 
We expressly reserve the right, at any time or various times, to extend the period of time during which either exchange offer is open. During any such extensions, all outstanding Notes previously tendered will remain subject to the applicable exchange offer, and we may accept them for exchange.
 
In order to extend the exchange offer, we will notify the exchange agent orally or in writing of any extension. We will notify the registered holders of outstanding Notes of the extension no later than 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the business day after the previously scheduled expiration date.
 
If any of the conditions described below under “— Conditions to the Exchange Offers” have not been satisfied, we reserve the right, in our sole discretion
 
  •  to delay accepting for exchange any outstanding Notes,
 
  •  to extend the exchange offer, or
 
  •  to terminate the exchange offer,
 
by giving oral or written notice of such delay, extension or termination to the exchange agent. Subject to the terms of the registration rights agreement, we also reserve the right to amend the terms of either exchange offer in any manner.
 
Any such delay in acceptance, extension, termination or amendment will be followed as promptly as practicable by oral or written notice thereof to the registered holders of outstanding Notes. If we amend the exchange offer in a manner that we determine to constitute a material change, we will promptly disclose such amendment by means of a prospectus supplement. The supplement will be distributed to the registered holders of the outstanding Notes. Depending upon the significance of the amendment and the manner of disclosure to the registered holders, we will extend such exchange offer if such exchange offer would otherwise expire during such period.

Conditions to the Exchange Offers
 
We will not be required to accept for exchange, or exchange any new Notes for, any outstanding Notes if the applicable exchange offer, or the making of any exchange by a holder of outstanding Notes, would violate applicable law or any applicable interpretation of the staff of the SEC. Similarly, we may terminate either exchange offer as provided in this prospectus before accepting outstanding Notes for exchange in the event of such a potential violation.
 
In addition, we will not be obligated to accept for exchange the outstanding Notes of any holder that has not made to us the representations described under “— Purpose and Effect of the Exchange Offers,” “— Procedures for Tendering” and “Plan of Distribution” and such other representations as may be reasonably necessary under applicable SEC rules, regulations or interpretations to allow us to use an appropriate form to register the new Notes under the Securities Act.
 
Furthermore, we will not accept for exchange any outstanding Notes tendered, and will not issue new Notes in exchange for any such outstanding Notes, if at such time any stop order has been threatened or is in effect with respect to (1) the registration statement of which this prospectus constitutes a part or (2) the qualification of the applicable indenture relating to the Notes under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939.
 
We expressly reserve the right to amend or terminate either exchange offer, and to reject for exchange any outstanding Notes not previously accepted for exchange, upon the occurrence of any of the conditions to the exchange offers specified above. We will give oral or written notice of any extension, amendment, non-acceptance or termination to the holders of the outstanding Notes as promptly as practicable.
 
These conditions are for our sole benefit, and we may assert them or waive them in whole or in part at any time or at various times in our sole discretion. If we fail at any time to exercise any of these rights, this failure will not mean that we have waived our rights. Each such right will be deemed an ongoing right that we may assert at any time or at various times.
 
Each exchange offer is independent of the other, and the closing of one exchange offer is not conditioned upon the closing of the other.
 
Procedures for Tendering
 
In order to participate in an exchange offer, you must properly tender your outstanding Notes to the exchange agent as described below. It is your responsibility to properly tender your Notes. We have the right to waive any defects. However, we are not required to waive defects and are not required to notify you of defects in your tender.
 
If you have any questions or need help in exchanging your Notes, please call the exchange agent, whose address and phone number are set forth in “Prospectus Summary — The Exchange Offers — Exchange Agent.”
 
All of the outstanding Notes were issued in book-entry form, and all of the outstanding Notes are currently represented by global certificates held for the account of DTC. We have confirmed with DTC that the outstanding Notes may be tendered using the ATOP procedures instituted by DTC. The exchange agent will establish an account with DTC for purposes of the exchange offers promptly after the commencement of the exchange offers and DTC participants may electronically transmit their acceptance of the exchange offer by causing DTC to transfer their outstanding Notes to the exchange agent using the ATOP procedures. In connection with the transfer, DTC will send an “agent’s message” to the exchange agent. The agent’s message will state that DTC has received instructions from the participant to tender outstanding Notes and that the participant agrees to be bound by the terms of the letter of transmittal.
 
By using the ATOP procedures to exchange outstanding Notes, you will not be required to deliver a letter of transmittal to the exchange agent. However, you will be bound by its terms just as if you had signed it.
 
There is no procedure for guaranteed late delivery of the Notes.

Determinations Under the Exchange Offers
 
We will determine in our sole discretion all questions as to the validity, form, eligibility, time of receipt, acceptance of tendered outstanding Notes and withdrawal of tendered outstanding Notes. Our determination will be final and binding. We reserve the absolute right to reject any outstanding Notes not properly tendered or any outstanding Notes our acceptance of which would, in the opinion of our counsel, be unlawful. We also reserve the right to waive any defect, irregularities or conditions of tender as to particular outstanding Notes. Our interpretation of the terms and conditions of either exchange offer, including the instructions in the applicable letter of transmittal, will be final and binding on all parties. Unless waived, all defects or irregularities in connection with tenders of outstanding Notes must be cured within such time as we shall determine. Although we intend to notify holders of defects or irregularities with respect to tenders of outstanding Notes, neither we, the exchange agent nor any other person will incur any liability for failure to give such notification. Tenders of outstanding Notes will not be deemed made until such defects or irregularities have been cured or waived. Any outstanding Notes received by the exchange agent that are not properly tendered and as to which the defects or irregularities have not been cured or waived will be returned to the tendering holder, unless otherwise provided in the applicable letter of transmittal, as soon as practicable following the expiration date.
 
When We Will Issue New Notes
 
In all cases, we will issue new Notes for outstanding Notes that we have accepted for exchange under the exchange offer only after the exchange agent timely receives:
 
  •  a book-entry confirmation of such outstanding Notes into the exchange agent’s account at DTC; and
 
  •  a properly transmitted agent’s message.
 
Return of Outstanding Notes Not Accepted or Exchanged
 
If we do not accept any tendered outstanding Notes for exchange or if outstanding Notes are submitted for a greater principal amount than the holder desires to exchange, the unaccepted or non-exchanged outstanding Notes will be returned without expense to their tendering holder. Such non-exchanged outstanding Notes will be credited to an account maintained with DTC. These actions will occur as promptly as practicable after the expiration or termination of the applicable exchange offer.
 
Your Representations to Us
 
By agreeing to be bound by the letter of transmittal, you will represent to us that, among other things:
 
  •  any new Notes that you receive will be acquired in the ordinary course of your business;
 
  •  you have no arrangement or understanding with any person or entity to participate in the distribution of the outstanding Notes or the new Notes within the meaning of the Securities Act;
 
  •  if you are not a broker-dealer, you are not engaged in and do not intend to engage in the distribution of the new Notes;
 
  •  if you are a broker-dealer that will receive new Notes for your own account in exchange for outstanding Notes, you acquired those notes as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities and you will deliver a prospectus, as required by law, in connection with any resale of such new Notes; and
 
  •  you are not our “affiliate,” as defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act.
 
Withdrawal of Tenders
 
Except as otherwise provided in this prospectus, you may withdraw your tender at any time prior to 5:00 p.m. New York City time on the expiration date. For a withdrawal to be effective you must comply with the appropriate procedures of DTC’s ATOP system. Any notice of withdrawal must specify the name and


12


Table of Contents

number of the account at DTC to be credited with withdrawn outstanding Notes and otherwise comply with the procedures of DTC.
 
We will determine all questions as to the validity, form, eligibility and time of receipt of notice of withdrawal. Our determination shall be final and binding on all parties. We will deem any outstanding Notes so withdrawn not to have been validly tendered for exchange for purposes of the applicable exchange offer.
 
Any outstanding Notes that have been tendered for exchange but are not exchanged for any reason will be credited to an account maintained with DTC for the outstanding Notes. This return or crediting will take place as soon as practicable after withdrawal, rejection of tender or termination of the exchange offer. You may retender properly withdrawn outstanding Notes by following the procedures described under “— Procedures for Tendering” above at any time prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the expiration date.
 
Fees and Expenses
 
We will bear the expenses of soliciting tenders with respect to each exchange offer. The principal solicitation is being made by mail; however, we may make additional solicitation by telegraph, telephone or in person by our officers and regular employees and those of our affiliates.
 
We have not retained any dealer manager in connection with the exchange offers and will not make any payments to broker-dealers or others soliciting acceptances of the exchange offers. We will, however, pay the exchange agent reasonable and customary fees for its services and reimburse it for its related reasonable out of pocket expenses.
 
We will pay the cash expenses to be incurred in connection with the exchange offer. They include:
 
  •  SEC registration fees;
 
  •  fees and expenses of the exchange agent and trustee;
 
  •  accounting and legal fees and printing costs; and
 
  •  related fees and expenses.
 
Transfer Taxes
 
We will pay all transfer taxes, if any, applicable to the exchange of outstanding Notes under the exchange offer. The tendering holder, however, will be required to pay any transfer taxes, whether imposed on the registered holder or any other person, if a transfer tax is imposed for any reason other than the exchange of outstanding Notes under the applicable exchange offer.
 
Consequences of Failure to Exchange
 
If you do not exchange new Notes for your outstanding Notes under the applicable exchange offer, you will remain subject to the existing restrictions on transfer of the outstanding Notes. In general, you may not offer or sell the outstanding Notes unless the offer or sale is either registered under the Securities Act or exempt from registration under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. Except as required by the registration rights agreements, we do not intend to register resales of the outstanding Notes under the Securities Act.
 
Accounting Treatment
 
We will record the new Notes in our accounting records at the same carrying value as the outstanding Notes of the same series. This carrying value is the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes less any bond discount, as reflected in our accounting records on the date of exchange. Accordingly, we will not recognize any gain or loss for accounting purposes in connection with either exchange offer.

Other
 
Participation in an exchange offer is voluntary, and you should carefully consider whether to accept. You are urged to consult your financial and tax advisors in making your own decision on what action to take.
 
We may in the future seek to acquire untendered outstanding Notes in open market or privately negotiated transactions, through subsequent exchange offers or otherwise. We have no present plans to acquire any outstanding Notes that are not tendered in the exchange offers or to file a registration statement to permit resales of any untendered outstanding Notes.

USE OF PROCEEDS
 
The exchange offer is intended to satisfy our obligations under the registration rights agreement. We will not receive any cash proceeds from the issuance of the new Notes in the exchange offer. In consideration for issuing the new Notes as contemplated by this prospectus, we will receive outstanding Notes in a like principal amount. The form and terms of the new Notes are identical in all respects to the form and terms of the outstanding Notes, except the new Notes do not include certain transfer restrictions. Outstanding Notes surrendered in exchange for the new Notes will be retired and cancelled and will not be reissued. Accordingly, the issuance of the new Notes will not result in any change in our outstanding indebtedness.

DESCRIPTION OF THE NOTES
 
As used in this description, the terms “we,” “us” and “our” refer to Plains All American Pipeline, L.P. and PAA Finance Corp. as co-issuers of the Notes and not to any of their subsidiaries or affiliates, and references to “Plains All American Pipeline” are to Plains All American Pipeline, L.P.
 
We issued the outstanding Notes, and will issue the new Notes, under an indenture (the “Base Indenture”) dated September 25, 2002, among us, the subsidiary guarantors and U.S. Bank National Association, as successor trustee, and two supplemental indentures thereto (each applicable to one of the series of the Notes) dated as of October 30, 2006 (each supplemental indenture, together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”). We refer to both the new Notes and the outstanding Notes in this description as the “Notes.” The Notes constituted two new series of debt securities under the Indenture, and six other series are now outstanding under the Base Indenture, each issued under a separate supplemental indenture.
 
The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended. We urge you to read the Indenture because it, and not this description, defines your rights as a holder of Notes. You may request copies of the Indenture from us as set forth under “Where You Can Find More Information.” Capitalized terms that are used in this prospectus have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture, and we have included some of those definitions at the end of this section. See “— Definitions.”
 
We have summarized some of the material provisions of the Notes and the Indenture below. The following description of the Notes is not complete and is subject to, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to, all the provisions of the Indenture.
 
General Description of the Notes and the Guarantees
 
The Notes of each series are:
 
  •  our senior unsecured indebtedness ranking equally in right of payment with the Notes of the other series and with all of our existing and future unsubordinated debt;
 
  •  unconditionally guaranteed by the subsidiary guarantors;
 
  •  non-recourse to our general partner;
 
  •  senior in right of payment to any of our future subordinated debt;
 
  •  effectively junior to any of our existing and future secured debt, to the extent of the security for that debt; and
 
  •  effectively junior to any existing and future debt of our subsidiaries that do not guarantee the Notes.
 
Initially our obligations under the Notes will be jointly and severally guaranteed by all of the existing subsidiaries of Plains All American Pipeline other than PAA Finance Corp., Atchafalaya Pipeline, L.L.C., Andrews Partners, LLC, Pacific Energy Management LLC, Pacific Energy GP LP, Pacific Pipeline System LLC and Pacific Terminals LLC, which we sometimes refer to collectively as the “non-guarantor subsidiaries.” Each guarantee by a subsidiary guarantor of the Notes is:
 
  •  a general unsecured obligation of that subsidiary guarantor;
 
  •  equal in right of payment with all other existing and future unsubordinated debt of that subsidiary guarantor;
 
  •  senior in right of payment to any future subordinated debt of that subsidiary guarantor; and
 
  •  effectively junior to any secured debt of that subsidiary guarantor, to the extent of the security for that debt.
 
As of March 31, 2007, the Notes and the guarantees would have been effectively subordinated to approximately $803 million of short-term secured indebtedness. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to the


16


Table of Contents

Exchange Offer and the Notes — Your right to receive payments on the Notes and the subsidiary guarantees is unsecured and will be effectively subordinated to our and our subsidiary guarantors’ existing and future secured indebtedness as well as to any existing and future indebtedness of our subsidiaries that do not guarantee the Notes.”
 
All of our current subsidiaries are guarantors except subsidiaries that are not significant. Our subsidiaries that are not subsidiary guarantors held approximately 12.6% of our consolidated assets as of March 31, 2007. These subsidiaries will not have any debt or guarantee any other indebtedness.
 
The Indenture does not limit the aggregate principal amount of debt securities that may be issued thereunder and provides that debt securities may be issued thereunder from time to time in one or more additional series. Except to the extent described under “— Covenants,” the Indenture does not limit our ability or the ability of our subsidiaries to incur additional indebtedness.
 
Further Issuances
 
We may, from time to time, without notice to or the consent of the holders of the Notes, create and issue additional notes ranking equally and ratably with the Notes offered hereby in all respects, so that such additional notes form a single series with either series of the Notes and have the same terms as to status, redemption or otherwise as that series of Notes (except for the issue date, the initial payment date, if applicable, and the payment of interest accruing prior to the issue date of such additional notes). If we issue such additional notes of either series prior to the completion of the exchange offer for the Notes of the same series described under the caption “Exchange Offers,” the period of the resale restrictions applicable to any Notes of that series previously offered and sold in reliance on Rule 144A under the Securities Act will be automatically extended to the last day of the period of any resale restrictions imposed on any such additional notes.
 
Principal, Maturity and Interest
 
We have issued the Notes in an initial aggregate principal amount of $1.0 billion, with the 2017 Notes having an aggregate principal amount of $400 million and the 2037 Notes having an aggregate principal amount of $600 million. The 2017 Notes will mature on January 15, 2017, and the 2037 Notes will mature on January 15, 2037. The 2017 Notes and the 2037 Notes will bear interest at the annual rate of 6.125% and 6.650%, respectively. Additional interest may also accrue on the Notes of either series in the circumstances described under “Exchange Offers.” All references to “interest” in this description of Notes include any such additional interest. Interest on the Notes will accrue from October 30, 2006 and will be payable semi-annually in arrears on January 15 and July 15 of each year, commencing July 15, 2007. We will make each interest payment to the holders of record at the close of business on the January 1 and July 1 preceding such interest payment dates. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. We will issue the Notes in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000.
 
No Liability of General Partner
 
Plains All American Pipeline’s general partner and its directors, officers, employees and partners (in their capacities as such) will not have any liability for our obligations under the Notes. In addition, the Managing General Partner, and its directors, officers, employees and members, will not have any liability for our obligations under the Notes. By accepting the Notes, each holder waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issuance of the Notes. This waiver may not be effective, however, to waive liabilities under the federal securities laws, and it is the view of the SEC that such a waiver is against public policy.
 
The Guarantees
 
Initially, our payment obligations under the Notes are jointly and severally guaranteed by all existing Subsidiaries of Plains All American Pipeline other than the non-guarantor subsidiaries. The obligations of each


17


Table of Contents

subsidiary guarantor under its guarantee are limited to the maximum amount that will, after giving effect to all other contingent and fixed liabilities of the subsidiary guarantor and to any collections from or payments made by or on behalf of any other subsidiary guarantor in respect of the obligations of the other subsidiary guarantor under its guarantee, result in the obligations of the subsidiary guarantor under the guarantee not constituting a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer under federal or state law.
 
Provided that no default shall have occurred and shall be continuing under the Indenture, a subsidiary guarantor will be unconditionally released and discharged from its guarantee:
 
  •  upon any sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of that subsidiary guarantor, including by way of merger, consolidation or otherwise, to any person that is not our affiliate (provided such sale or other disposition is not prohibited by the Indenture);
 
  •  upon any sale or other disposition of all of our direct or indirect equity interests in that subsidiary guarantor to any person that is not our affiliate; or
 
  •  following the release of all guarantees by the subsidiary guarantor of any debt of ours and any Subsidiary of Plains All American Pipeline (other than debt securities issued under the Indenture), upon delivery by us to the trustee of a written notice of such release.
 
If at any time after the issuance of the Notes, including following any release of a subsidiary guarantor from its guarantee under the Indenture, a Subsidiary of Plains All American Pipeline (including any future Subsidiary) guarantees any of our debt or any debt of Plains All American Pipeline’s other Subsidiaries, we will cause such Subsidiary to guarantee the Notes in accordance with the Indenture by simultaneously executing and delivering a supplemental indenture.
 
Optional Redemption
 
The Notes are redeemable, in whole or in part, at our option at any time and from time to time prior to maturity at a redemption price equal to the greater of (a) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, and (b) as determined by the Quotation Agent, the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the Notes to be redeemed (not including any portion of those payments of interest accrued as of the date of redemption) discounted to the date of redemption on a semi-annual basis (assuming 360-day years, each consisting of twelve 30-day months), at the Adjusted Treasury Rate plus 25 basis points in the case of the 2017 Notes and 30 basis points in the case of the 2037 Notes, in each case together with accrued interest to the date of redemption.
 
“Adjusted Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any date of redemption, the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue, assuming a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for the date of redemption.
 
“Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security selected by the Quotation Agent as having a maturity comparable to the remaining term of the Notes to be redeemed that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the remaining term of those Notes.
 
“Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any date of redemption (a) the average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for the date of redemption, after excluding the highest and lowest Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (b) if the trustee obtains fewer than four Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations.
 
“Quotation Agent” means UBS Securities LLC or another Reference Treasury Dealer appointed by us.
 
“Reference Treasury Dealer” means (a) UBS Securities LLC and its successors; provided, however, that if the foregoing shall cease to be a primary U.S. Government securities dealer in the United States (a “Primary Treasury Dealer”), we shall substitute another Primary Treasury Dealer; and (b) any other Primary Treasury Dealer selected by us.


18


Table of Contents

 
“Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any date of redemption, the average, as determined by the trustee, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to the trustee by that Reference Treasury Dealer at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the third business day preceding that date of redemption.
 
Unless we default in payment of the redemption price, on and after the date of redemption, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or portions thereof called for redemption.
 
On or before a redemption date, we will deposit with a paying agent (or with the trustee) sufficient money to pay the redemption price and accrued interest on the Notes to be redeemed.
 
If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed at any time, the trustee will select Notes (or any portion of Notes in integral multiples of $1,000) for redemption as follows:
 
  •  if the Notes are listed, in compliance with the requirements of the principal national securities exchange on which the Notes are listed; or
 
  •  if the Notes are not so listed or there are no such requirements, on a pro rata basis, by lot or by such method as the trustee shall deem fair and appropriate.
 
However, no Note with a principal amount of $2,000 or less will be redeemed in part. Notice of optional redemption will be mailed by first class mail at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each holder of Notes to be redeemed at its registered address. If any note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that relates to that note will state the portion of the principal amount of that note to be redeemed.
 
Events of Default
 
Each of the following is an “Event of Default” with respect to each series of Notes:
 
  •  default in payment when due of the principal of or any premium on any Note of that series at maturity, upon redemption or otherwise;
 
  •  default for 60 days in the payment when due of interest on any Note of that series;
 
  •  failure by us or, so long as the Notes of that series are guaranteed by a subsidiary guarantor, by such subsidiary guarantor, for 30 days after receipt of notice from the trustee or the holders to comply with any other term, covenant or warranty in the Indenture or the Notes of that series (provided that notice need not be given, and an Event of Default will occur, 30 days after any breach of the covenants described under “— Consolidation, Merger or Sale”);
 
  •  default under any mortgage, indenture or instrument under which there may be issued or by which there may be secured or evidenced any debt for money borrowed of us or any of the Subsidiaries of Plains All American Pipeline (or the payment of which is guaranteed by Plains All American Pipeline or any of its Subsidiaries), whether such debt or guarantee now exists or is created after the Issue Date, if (a) that default (x) is caused by a failure to pay principal of or premium, if any, or interest on such debt prior to the expiration of any grace period provided in such debt (a “Payment Default”), or (y) results in the acceleration of the maturity of such debt to a date prior to its originally stated maturity, and, (b) in each case described in clause (x) or (y) above, the principal amount of any such debt, together with the principal amount of any other such debt under which there has been a Payment Default or the maturity of which has been so accelerated, aggregates $25 million or more; provided that if any such default is cured or waived or any such acceleration rescinded, or such debt is repaid, within a period of 30 days from the continuation of such default beyond the applicable grace period or the occurrence of such acceleration, as the case may be, such Event of Default and any consequential acceleration of the Notes shall be automatically rescinded, so long as such rescission does not conflict with any judgment or decree;


19


Table of Contents

 
  •  specified events in bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of us or, so long as the Notes of that series are guaranteed by a subsidiary guarantor, by such subsidiary guarantor; or
 
  •  so long as the Notes of that series are guaranteed by a subsidiary guarantor:
 
  •  the guarantee by such subsidiary guarantor ceases to be in full force and effect, except as otherwise provided in the Indenture;
 
  •  the guarantee by such subsidiary guarantor is declared null and void in a judicial proceeding; or
 
  •  such subsidiary guarantor denies or disaffirms its obligations under the Indenture or its guarantee.
 
An Event of Default for a particular series of Notes will not necessarily constitute an Event of Default for the other series of Notes or for any other series of debt securities that may be issued under the Base Indenture. In the case of an Event of Default arising from certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization involving us, but not any subsidiary guarantor, all outstanding Notes will become due and payable immediately without further action or notice. If any other Event of Default occurs and is continuing with respect to a series of Notes, the trustee or the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes of that series may declare all the Notes of that series to be due and payable immediately.
 
Consolidation, Merger or Sale
 
We will not merge, amalgamate or consolidate with or into any other Person or sell, convey, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of our assets to any Person, whether in a single transaction or series of related transactions, except in accordance with the provisions of the partnership agreement of Plains All American Pipeline, and unless:
 
  •  we are the surviving Person in the case of a merger, or the surviving Person:
 
  •  is a partnership, limited liability company or corporation organized under the laws of the United States, a state thereof or the District of Columbia, provided that PAA Finance Corp. may not merge, amalgamate or consolidate with or into another Person other than a corporation satisfying such requirement for so long as Plains All American Pipeline is not a corporation; and
 
  •  expressly assumes, by supplemental indenture in form reasonably satisfactory to the trustee, the due and punctual payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on all of the Notes, and the due and punctual performance or observance of all the other obligations under the Indenture to be performed or observed by us;
 
  •  immediately after giving effect to the transaction or series of transactions, no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;
 
  •  if we are not the surviving Person, then each subsidiary guarantor, unless such subsidiary guarantor is the Person with which we have consummated a transaction under this provision, shall have confirmed that its guarantee of the Notes shall continue to apply to the obligations under the Notes and the Indenture; and
 
  •  we have delivered to the trustee an officers’ certificate and opinion of counsel, each stating that the merger, amalgamation, consolidation, sale, conveyance, transfer, lease or other disposition, and if a supplemental indenture is required, the supplemental indenture, comply with the Indenture and all other conditions precedent to the transaction have been complied with.
 
Thereafter, the surviving Person will be substituted for us under the Indenture. If we sell or otherwise dispose of (except by lease) all or substantially all of our assets and the above stated requirements are satisfied, we will be released from all our liabilities and obligations under the Indenture. If we lease all or substantially all of our assets, we will not be so released from our obligations under the Indenture.

Modification of the Indenture
 
Generally, we, the subsidiary guarantors and the trustee may amend or supplement the Indenture, the guarantees and the Notes with the written consent of the holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes of the affected series. However, without the consent of each holder affected, an amendment, supplement or waiver may not (with respect to any Notes held by a nonconsenting holder):
 
  •  reduce the principal amount of Notes whose holders must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver;
 
  •  reduce the principal of or change the fixed maturity of any note;
 
  •  reduce or waive the premium payable upon redemption or alter or waive the other provisions with respect to the redemption of any Notes;
 
  •  reduce the rate of or change the time for payment of interest on any note;
 
  •  waive a Default or an Event of Default in the payment of principal of or premium, if any, or interest on, any Notes (except a rescission of acceleration of the Notes with respect to either series by the holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of that series and a waiver of the payment default that resulted from such acceleration);
 
  •  release any security that may have been granted with respect to the Notes;
 
  •  make any note payable in currency other than that stated in the Notes;
 
  •  make any change in the provisions of the Indenture relating to waivers of past Defaults or the rights of holders of Notes to receive payments of principal of or premium, if any, or interest on the Notes;
 
  •  waive a redemption payment with respect to any note;
 
  •  except as otherwise permitted in the Indenture, release any subsidiary guarantor from its obligations under its guarantee or the Indenture or change any guarantee in any manner that would adversely affect the rights of holders; or
 
  •  make any change in the preceding amendment, supplement and waiver provisions (except to increase any percentage set forth therein).
 
Notwithstanding the preceding, without the consent of any holder of Notes, we and the trustee may amend or supplement the Indenture or the Notes:
 
  •  to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency;
 
  •  to provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated Notes;
 
  •  to provide for the assumption of our or the confirmation of a subsidiary guarantor’s obligations to holders of Notes in the case of a merger or consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of our assets;

Covenants
 
Limitations on Liens
 
We will not, nor will we permit any Subsidiary to, create, assume, incur or suffer to exist any lien upon any Principal Property or upon any Capital Interests of any Restricted Subsidiary, whether owned or leased or hereafter acquired, to secure any of our debt or any debt of any other Person (other than debt securities issued under the Indenture), without in any such case making effective provision whereby all of the Notes shall be secured equally and ratably with, or prior to, such debt so long as such debt shall be so secured. The following are excluded from this restriction:
 
  •  Permitted Liens;
 
  •  any lien upon any property or assets created at the time of acquisition of such property or assets by us or any Restricted Subsidiary or within one year after such time to secure all or a portion of the purchase price for such property or assets or debt incurred to finance such purchase price, whether such debt was incurred prior to, at the time of or within one year after the date of such acquisition;
 
  •  any lien upon any property or assets to secure all or part of the cost of construction, development, repair or improvements thereon or to secure debt incurred prior to, at the time of, or within one year after completion of such construction, development, repair or improvements or the commencement of full operations thereof (whichever is later), to provide funds for any such purpose;
 
  •  any lien upon any property or assets existing thereon at the time of the acquisition thereof by us or any Restricted Subsidiary (whether or not the obligations secured thereby are assumed by us or any Restricted Subsidiary); provided, however, that such lien only encumbers the property or assets so acquired;
 
  •  any lien upon any property or assets of a Person existing thereon at the time such Person becomes a Restricted Subsidiary by acquisition, merger or otherwise; provided, however, that such lien only encumbers the property or assets of such Person at the time such Person becomes a Restricted Subsidiary;
 
  •  any lien upon any of our property or assets or the property or assets of any Restricted Subsidiary in existence on December 10, 2003 or provided for pursuant to agreements existing on December 10, 2003;
 
  •  liens imposed by law or order as a result of any proceeding before any court or regulatory body that is being contested in good faith, and liens which secure a judgment or other court ordered award or settlement as to which we or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary has not exhausted its appellate rights;
 
  •  any extension, renewal, refinancing, refunding or replacement, or successive extensions, renewals, refinancings, refundings or replacements of liens, in whole or in part, referred to above; provided, however, that any such extension, renewal, refinancing, refunding or replacement lien shall be limited to the property or assets covered by the lien extended, renewed, refinanced, refunded or replaced and that the obligations secured by any such extension, renewal, refinancing, refunding or replacement lien shall be in an amount not greater than the amount of the obligations secured by the lien extended, renewed, refinanced, refunded or replaced and any of our expenses and the expenses of the Restricted Subsidiaries (including any premium) incurred in connection with such extension, renewal, refinancing, refunding or replacement; or
 
  •  any lien resulting from the deposit of moneys or evidence of indebtedness in trust for the purpose of defeasing our debt or debt of any Restricted Subsidiary.
 
Notwithstanding the preceding, we may, and may permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, create, assume, incur, or suffer to exist any lien upon any Principal Property or Capital Interests of a Restricted Subsidiary to secure our debt or debt of any Person (other than debt securities issued under the Indenture), that is not excepted above without securing the Notes, provided that the aggregate principal amount of all debt then outstanding secured by such lien and all other liens not excepted above, together with all Attributable

Table of Contents

Indebtedness from Sale-leaseback Transactions, excluding Sale-leaseback Transactions permitted in the first paragraph under “— Limitations on Sale-Leasebacks,” does not exceed 10% of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets.
 
Limitations on Sale-Leasebacks
 
We will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary to, engage in a Sale-leaseback Transaction, unless:
 
  •  such Sale-leaseback Transaction occurs within one year from the date of completion of the acquisition of the Principal Property subject thereto or the date of the completion of construction, development or substantial repair or improvement, or commencement of full operations on such Principal Property, whichever is later;
 
  •  the Sale-leaseback Transaction involves a lease for a period, including renewals, of not more than three years;
 
  •  the Attributable Indebtedness from that Sale-leaseback Transaction is an amount equal to or less than the amount that we or such Subsidiary would be allowed to incur as debt secured by a lien on the Principal Property subject thereto without equally and ratably securing the Notes; or
 
  •  we or such Subsidiary, within a one-year period after such Sale-leaseback Transaction, applies or causes to be applied an amount not less than the net sale proceeds from such Sale-leaseback Transaction to (A) the prepayment, repayment, redemption, reduction or retirement of any Pari Passu Debt of us or any Subsidiary, or (B) the expenditure or expenditures for Principal Property used or to be used in the ordinary course of the business of Plains All American Pipeline or that of its Subsidiaries.
 
Notwithstanding the preceding, we may, and may permit any Subsidiary of Plains All American Pipeline to, effect any Sale-leaseback Transaction that is not excepted above, provided that the Attributable Indebtedness from such Sale-leaseback Transaction, together with the aggregate principal amount of then outstanding debt (other than debt securities issued under the Indenture) secured by liens upon Principal Properties not excepted in the first paragraph under “— Limitations on Liens,” do not exceed 10% of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets.
 
SEC Reports
 
Regardless of whether Plains All American Pipeline is required to remain subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, it will electronically file with the SEC, so long as either series of Notes are outstanding, the annual, quarterly and other periodic reports that it is required to file (or would otherwise be required to file) with the SEC pursuant to Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act, and such documents will be filed with the SEC on or prior to the respective dates (the “Required Filing Dates”) by which it is required to file (or would otherwise be required to file) such documents, unless, in each case, such filings are not then permitted by the SEC.
 
If such filings are not then permitted by the SEC, or such filings are not generally available on the Internet free of charge, we will provide the trustee with, and the trustee will mail to any holder of Notes requesting in writing to the trustee copies of, such annual, quarterly and other periodic reports specified in Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act within 15 days after its Required Filing Date.
 
In addition, we will furnish to the holders of Notes and to prospective investors, upon the requests of holders of Notes, any information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act, so long as the Notes are not freely transferable under the Securities Act.
 
Defeasance and Discharge
 
At any time we may terminate all our obligations under the Indenture as they relate to either series of Notes (“legal defeasance”), except for certain obligations, including those respecting the defeasance trust and timely payments therefrom and obligations to register the transfer of or exchange the Notes of either series, to


23


Table of Contents

replace mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes and to maintain a registrar and paying agent in respect of the Notes of the relevant series.
 
Also, at any time we may terminate our obligations under covenants described in the last paragraph of “— The Guarantees,” under “— Covenants” and under “— SEC Reports” with respect to the Notes of either series (“covenant defeasance”), and thereafter our failure to comply with any of such covenants would not constitute an Event of Default.
 
We may exercise our legal defeasance option notwithstanding our prior exercise of our covenant defeasance option. If we exercise our legal defeasance option, each guarantee obligation will be deemed to have been discharged with respect to the Notes of the relevant series.
 
In order to exercise either defeasance option, we must irrevocably deposit in trust (the “defeasance trust”) with the trustee money, U.S. Government Obligations (as defined in the Indenture) or a combination thereof for the payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes of the relevant series to redemption or stated maturity, as the case may be, and must comply with certain other conditions, including delivery to the trustee of an opinion of counsel to the effect that holders of the Notes of the relevant series will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such defeasance had not occurred. In the case of legal defeasance only, such opinion of counsel must be based on a ruling of the Internal Revenue Service or other change in applicable federal income tax law.
 
In the event of any legal defeasance, holders of the Notes of the relevant series would be entitled to look only to the trust for payment of principal of and any premium and interest on their Notes until maturity.
 
Although the amount of money and U.S. Government Obligations on deposit with the trustee would be intended to be sufficient to pay amounts due on the defeased Notes of the relevant series at the time of their stated maturity, if we exercise our covenant defeasance option for the Notes and the Notes are declared due and payable because of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount may not be sufficient to pay amounts due on the Notes of the relevant series at the time of the acceleration resulting from such Event of Default. We would remain liable for such payments, however.
 
In addition, we may discharge all our obligations under the Indenture with respect to either series of Notes, other than certain obligations to the trustee and our obligation to register the transfer of and exchange Notes, provided that we either:
 
  •  deliver all outstanding Notes of the relevant series to the trustee for cancellation; or
 
  •  all Notes of the relevant series not so delivered for cancellation have either become due and payable or will become due and payable at their stated maturity within one year or are to be called for redemption within one year, and in the case of this bullet point we have irrevocably deposited with the trustee in trust an amount of cash or U.S. Government Obligations or a combination thereof sufficient to pay the entire indebtedness of the Notes of the relevant series, including interest and premium, if any, to the stated maturity or applicable redemption date.
 
Concerning the Trustee
 
U.S. Bank National Association will act as indenture trustee, security registrar and paying agent with respect to the Notes. The trustee makes no representation or warranty, express or implied, as to the accuracy or completeness of any information contained in this confidential offering memorandum, except for such information that specifically pertains to the trustee, or any information incorporated by reference.
 
Governing Law

MATERIAL U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES
 
The following is a summary of the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the exchange of outstanding notes for new notes and is the opinion of Vinson & Elkins L.L.P., counsel to the general partner and us, as it relates to legal conclusions with respect to matters of U.S. federal income tax law. In the opinion of Vinson & Elkins L.L.P., the exchange of outstanding notes for new notes will not be an exchange or otherwise a taxable event to a holder for United States federal income tax purposes. Accordingly, a holder will have the same adjusted issue price, adjusted basis and holding period in the new notes as it had in the outstanding notes immediately before the exchange. The legal conclusions of Vinson & Elkins L.L.P. are based upon the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, Treasury Regulations, Internal Revenue Service rulings and pronouncements and judicial decisions now in effect, all of which may be subject to change at any time by legislative, judicial or administrative action. These changes may be applied retroactively in a manner that could adversely affect a holder of new notes. The legal conclusions of Vinson & Elkins L.L.P. do not consider the effect of any applicable foreign, state, local or other tax laws or estate or gift tax considerations. Each holder is encouraged to consult, and depend on, his own tax advisor in analyzing the particular tax consequences of exchanging such holder’s outstanding notes for new notes, including the applicability and effect of any federal, state, local and foreign tax laws.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
 
Based on interpretations by the staff of the SEC in no-action letters issued to third parties, we believe that you may transfer new Notes issued under either exchange offer in exchange for the outstanding Notes if:
 
  •  you acquire the new Notes in the ordinary course of your business; and
 
  •  you are not engaged in, and do not intend to engage in, and have no arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in, a distribution of such new Notes.
 
You may not participate in either exchange offer if you are:
 
  •  our “affiliate” within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act; or
 
  •  a broker-dealer that acquired outstanding Notes directly from us.
 
Each broker-dealer that receives new Notes for its own account pursuant to either exchange offer must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of such new Notes. To date, the staff of the SEC has taken the position that broker-dealers may fulfill their prospectus delivery requirements with respect to transactions involving an exchange of securities such as these exchange offers, other than a resale of an unsold allotment from the original sale of the outstanding Notes, with a prospectus contained in a registration statement like this registration statement. This prospectus, as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, may be used by a broker-dealer in connection with resales of new Notes received in exchange for outstanding Notes where such outstanding Notes were acquired as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities. We have agreed that, for a period of up to one year after the consummation of the exchange offers, we will make this prospectus, as amended or supplemented, promptly available to any broker-dealer for use in connection with any such resale.
 
If you wish to exchange your outstanding Notes for new Notes in the applicable exchange offer, you will be required to make representations to us as described in “Exchange Offers — Purpose and Effect of the Exchange Offers” and “— Procedures for Tendering — Your Representations to Us” in this prospectus and in the applicable letter of transmittal. In addition, if you are a broker-dealer who receives new Notes for your own account in exchange for outstanding Notes that were acquired by you as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities, you will be required to acknowledge that you will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale by you of such new Notes.
 
We will not receive any proceeds from any sale of new Notes by broker-dealers. New Notes received by broker-dealers for their own account pursuant to the exchange offer may be sold from time to time in one or more transactions:
 
  •  in the over-the-counter market;
 
 
  •  in negotiated transactions;
 
  •  through the writing of options on the new Notes or a combination of the preceding methods of resale;
 
  •  at market prices prevailing at the time of resale; and
 
  •  at prices related to such prevailing market prices or negotiated prices.
 
Any such resale may be made directly to purchasers or to or through brokers or dealers who may receive compensation in the form of commissions or concessions from any such broker-dealer or the purchasers of any such new Notes. Any broker-dealer that resells new Notes that were received by it for its own account pursuant to the exchange offers and any broker or dealer that participates in a distribution of such new Notes may be deemed to be an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act and any profit of any such resale of new Notes and any commissions or concessions received by any such persons may be deemed to be underwriting compensation under the Securities Act. Each letter of transmittal states that by acknowledging that it will deliver and by delivering a prospectus, a broker-dealer will not be deemed to admit that it is an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act.

Table of Contents

 
For a period of one year after the consummation of each exchange offer, we will promptly send additional copies of this prospectus and any amendment or supplement to this prospectus to any broker-dealer that requests such documents in a letter of transmittal. We have agreed to pay all expenses incident to each exchange offer (including the expenses of one counsel for the holders of the outstanding Notes) other than commissions or concessions of any broker-dealers and will indemnify the holders of the outstanding Notes (including any broker-dealers) against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.
