Item 1.01.      Entry into Material Definitive Agreement

 

Administrative Services Agreement

 

On October 14, 2005, Plains All American GP LLC (“PAA GP”), the general partner of Plains All American Pipeline, L.P.’s general partner, and Vulcan Energy Corporation (“Vulcan”) entered into an Administrative Services Agreement, effective as of September 1, 2005 (the “Agreement”), a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 1.1 to this current Report on Form 8-K.

 

Pursuant to the Agreement, PAA GP will provide administrative services to Vulcan for consideration of approximately $650,000 per year, plus certain expenses.  The Agreement will be effective for a period of three years, at which time it will automatically renew for successive one-year periods unless either party provides written notice of its intention to terminate the Agreement.  Pursuant to the agreement, Vulcan will appoint certain employees of PAA GP as officers of Vulcan for administrative efficiency.  Mr. Greg L. Armstrong will be appointed as the President and Chief Executive Officer.  Under the Agreement, Vulcan acknowledges that conflicts may arise between itself and PAA GP.  If PAA GP believes that a specific service is in conflict with the best interest of PAA GP or its affiliates then PAA GP shall be entitled to suspend the provision of that service and such a suspension will not constitute a breach of the Agreement.
