Item 1.01.   Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
     Effective October 25, 2010, Plains Marketing, L.P. (“PMLP”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Plains All American Pipeline, L.P. (“PAA”), entered into a Second Amendment (the “Second Amendment”) to Second Restated Credit Agreement among PMLP, Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent, BNP Paribas, as Syndication Agent, SOCIETE GENERALE, as Documentation Agent, Banc of America Securities LLC, BNP Paribas and SG Americas Securities, LLC, as joint lead arrangers and joint bookrunners, and the lenders party thereto (as amended, the “Restated Facility”). The Second Amendment extends the term of the Restated Facility by approximately one year until October 24, 2011.
     The Restated Facility is a $500 million secured committed working capital facility, which includes a letter of credit sub-facility of up to 20% of the total committed facility. The committed amount may be increased at the option of PMLP to $1.2 billion, subject to obtaining additional commitments from lenders. Borrowings under the Restated Facility will be primarily used to finance the purchase of hedged crude oil inventory for storage activities when market conditions warrant as well as for foreign import activities. Obligations under the Restated Facility are secured by the financed inventory and the associated accounts receivable, and will be repaid from the proceeds of the sale of the financed inventory. In addition, PMLP’s obligations under the Restated Facility are guaranteed by PAA pursuant to a Restated Guaranty Agreement entered into on November 6, 2008 by PAA in favor of the Administrative Agent.
     The above description of the Second Amendment is qualified in its entirety by the terms of the Second Amendment, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1, and incorporated herein by reference.
