Pacific Energy Partners, L.P.

We are a publicly traded Delaware limited partnership engaged principally in the business of gathering, transporting, storing and distributing crude oil, refined products and related products. We generate revenue primarily by charging tariff rates for transporting such products on our pipelines and by leasing tank storage capacity. We also buy and sell crude oil, activities that are complementary to our pipeline transportation business. We operate primarily in California, Colorado, Montana, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Wyoming and Utah in the United States and in Alberta, Canada. On September 30, 2005, we, through two of our wholly-owned subsidiaries, acquired certain refined products and crude oil terminal assets and a refined products pipeline. The assets purchased consist of (i) the Martinez and Richmond terminals in the San Francisco, California area, (ii) the North Philadelphia, South Philadelphia and Paulsboro, New Jersey terminals in the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania area, and (iii) a 550-mile refined products pipeline, known as the West Pipeline System, with four terminals in the U.S. Rocky Mountains. See "Recent Developments—Acquisition of Valero Assets."

We are managed by our general partner, Pacific Energy GP, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the "General Partner"), which, prior to its conversion to a limited partnership on March 3, 2005, was Pacific Energy GP, Inc., a corporation owned 100% by a subsidiary of The Anschutz Corporation. On March 3, 2005, The Anschutz Corporation sold all of its interest in Pacific Energy GP, Inc. to LB Pacific, LP, which was formed by the Lehman Brothers Merchant Banking Group in connection with the purchase (see "Recent Developments—Sale of The Anschutz Corporation's Interest in Us"). Pacific Energy GP, LP is managed by its general partner, Pacific Energy Management LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, thus the officers and Board of Directors of Pacific Energy Management manage the business affairs of the Partnership and its General Partner.

Our principal executive offices are located at 5900 Cherry Avenue, Long Beach, California 90805, and our telephone number is (562) 728-2800.

We conduct our business through two business segments: the West Coast Business Unit and Rocky Mountain Business Unit.

West Coast Business Unit

Our West Coast Business Unit is located in California and includes the only common carrier pipelines that deliver crude oil produced in California's San Joaquin Valley and the two primary California Outer Continental Shelf producing fields, Point Arguello and the Santa Ynez Unit, to refineries and terminal facilities in the Los Angeles Basin and in Bakersfield. It also includes a

proprietary crude oil gathering and blending operation in the San Joaquin Valley, as well as an oil storage and distribution system servicing the Los Angeles Basin, which we believe strategically positions us to benefit from the projected increase in marine imports of crude oil into this region. We have integrated the recently acquired San Francisco area terminals and Philadelphia area terminals with our existing pipeline and terminal activities in our West Coast Business Unit. Our West Coast Business Unit is headquartered in Long Beach, California.

Our West Coast Business Unit is comprised of the following assets, all of which we operate and own 100%:

Line 2000: Line 2000 is an intrastate common carrier crude oil pipeline that consists of a 130-mile insulated trunk pipeline with a permitted throughput capacity of 130,000 barrels per day ("bpd") that transports crude oil produced in the San Joaquin Valley and California Outer Continental Shelf to refineries and terminal facilities in the Los Angeles Basin.

The Line 63 System: The Line 63 system is an intrastate common carrier crude oil pipeline system that consists of a 107-mile trunk pipeline with a throughput capacity of approximately 105,000 bpd, which transports crude oil from the San Joaquin Valley to Los Angeles, 60 miles of distribution pipelines, 156 miles of gathering pipelines and 22 storage tanks with a total of approximately 1.2 million barrels of storage capacity. Most of these storage assets are located in the San Joaquin Valley and are primarily used to facilitate the transportation of crude oil on our pipelines.

Pacific Terminals Storage and Distribution System: The Pacific Terminals storage and distribution system is a crude oil storage and pipeline distribution system located in the Los Angeles Basin that consists of 70 miles of distribution pipelines in active service and 34 storage tanks with a total of approximately 9.0 million barrels of storage capacity. Of this total, approximately 6.7 million barrels are in active commercial service, 0.5 million barrels are used primarily for throughput to other storage tanks and do not generate revenue independently, approximately 1.5 million barrels are idle but could be reconditioned and brought into service and approximately 0.5 million barrels are in displacement oil service.

PMT Gathering and Blending System: The PMT gathering and blending system is a proprietary crude oil pipeline system located in the San Joaquin Valley that consists of 103 miles of gathering pipelines and six storage and blending facilities with a total of approximately 0.3 million barrels of storage capacity and up to 51,000 bpd of blending capacity. The PMT gathering and blending system is interconnected to our Line 63 system. Our subsidiary, Pacific Marketing and Transportation LLC uses the PMT gathering and blending system in connection with its crude oil buying, blending and selling activities, which are generally complementary to our pipeline transportation business.

Pacific Atlantic Terminals: As described under "Recent Developments—Acquisition of Valero Assets," we have recently acquired the Martinez terminal and Richmond terminal in the San Francisco, California area. The Martinez and Richmond terminals currently have 4.1 million barrels of combined storage capacity. We have also recently acquired the North Philadelphia, South Philadelphia and the Paulsboro, New Jersey terminals in the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania area. These terminals handle refined products and have a combined storage capacity of 3.1 million barrels.

Rocky Mountain Business Unit

Our Rocky Mountain Business Unit consists of various interests in pipelines that transport crude oil produced in Canada and the U.S. Rocky Mountain region to refineries in Montana, Wyoming, Colorado and Utah. We deliver crude oil to these refineries directly through our pipelines or indirectly through connections with third-party pipelines. Our Rocky Mountain Business Unit is headquartered in Denver, Colorado with an operations and marketing office in Calgary, Alberta. We have integrated the

operations, maintenance, marketing and business development of the recently acquired West Pipeline System with our existing pipeline activities in the Rocky Mountain Business Unit.

Our Rocky Mountain Business Unit is comprised of the following assets:

Rangeland System: The Rangeland system includes the Rangeland pipeline and the Mid Alberta pipeline. The Mid Alberta pipeline is a 138-mile proprietary pipeline with a throughput capacity of approximately 50,000 bpd if transporting light crude oil. The Mid Alberta pipeline originates in Edmonton, Alberta and terminates in Sundre, Alberta where it connects to the Rangeland pipeline. The Rangeland pipeline is a proprietary pipeline system that consists of approximately 800 miles of gathering and trunk pipelines and is capable of transporting crude oil, condensate and butane either north to Edmonton, Alberta via third-party pipeline connections or south to the U.S./Canadian border near Cutbank, Montana where it connects to the Western Corridor system. The trunk pipeline from Sundre, Alberta to the U.S./Canadian border consists of approximately 250 miles of trunk pipelines and has a current throughput capacity of approximately 85,000 bpd if transporting light crude oil. The trunk system from Sundre, Alberta north to Rimbey, Alberta is a bi-directional system that consists of three parallel trunk pipelines: a 56-mile pipeline for low sulfur crude oil, a 63-mile pipeline for high sulfur crude oil, and a 56-mile pipeline for condensate and butane.

Western Corridor System: The Western Corridor system is an interstate and intrastate common carrier crude oil pipeline system that consists of 1,012 miles of pipelines extending from dual origination points at the U.S./Canadian border near Cutbank, Montana, where it receives deliveries from the Rangeland pipeline, and at Cutbank, Montana, where it receives deliveries from Cenex pipeline, and terminating at Guernsey, Wyoming with connections in Wyoming to Frontier pipeline, Suncor pipeline, Platte pipeline and our Salt Lake City Core system. The Western Corridor system consists of three contiguous trunk pipelines: Glacier pipeline, Beartooth pipeline and Big Horn pipeline. We own various undivided interests in each of these three pipelines, which give us rights to a specified portion of each pipeline's throughput capacity. Glacier and Beartooth pipelines provide us with approximately 25,000 bpd of throughput capacity from the U.S./Canadian border to Elk Basin, Wyoming. Big Horn pipeline provides us with approximately 33,900 bpd of throughput capacity from Elk Basin, Wyoming to Guernsey, Wyoming. We operate the Beartooth and Big Horn pipelines. Conoco Pipe Line Company owns the remaining undivided interests in each pipeline and operates Glacier pipeline. We also own various undivided interests in 22 storage tanks that provide us with a total of approximately 1.3 million barrels of storage capacity.

Salt Lake City Core System: The Salt Lake City Core system is an interstate and intrastate common carrier crude oil pipeline system that consists of 955 miles of trunk pipelines with a combined throughput capacity of approximately 114,000 bpd to Salt Lake City, 209 miles of gathering pipelines, and 32 storage tanks with a total of approximately 1.5 million barrels of storage capacity. This system originates in Ft. Laramie, Wyoming, receives deliveries from the Western Corridor system at Guernsey, Wyoming and extends west to Wamsutter, Wyoming, where it divides, with a northern segment continuing west, eventually delivering to Salt Lake City, and a southern segment extending south to Rangely, Colorado, where it delivers to a ChevronTexaco pipeline that serves refineries in Salt Lake City. During 2004, of the 114,000 bpd delivery capacity into Salt Lake City, the northern segment delivered approximately 40,100 bpd and the southern segment delivered approximately 18,000 bpd. Also during 2004, 42,500 bpd were transported from Frontier/Evanston Station, Utah to Kimball Junction, Utah, 7,300 bpd were transported from Reno to Casper, Wyoming and 3,000 bpd from Reno to Guernsey, Wyoming. We operate and own 100% of the Salt Lake City Core system.

Frontier Pipeline: Frontier pipeline is an interstate common carrier crude oil pipeline that consists of a 289-mile trunk pipeline with a throughput capacity of approximately 62,200 bpd and three storage tanks with a total of approximately 274,000 barrels of storage capacity. Frontier pipeline originates in Casper, Wyoming, a hub for the distribution of crude oil produced in Canada and in the U.S. Rocky

Mountain region, and receives deliveries from the Western Corridor system. Frontier pipeline also receives Canadian crude oil, including Canadian synthetic crude, via connections with Express pipeline and other connecting carriers in Casper, Wyoming. Frontier pipeline delivers crude oil into the Salt Lake City Core system for ultimate delivery into Salt Lake City. We operate Frontier pipeline and own a 22.22% partnership interest in Frontier Pipeline Company, a general partnership that owns Frontier pipeline. Enbridge, Inc. owns the remaining partnership interest in Frontier Pipeline Company.

West Pipeline System: As described under "Recent Developments—Acquisition of Valero Assets," we have recently acquired West Pipeline System, which consists of a 550 mile refined product pipeline extending from Casper, Wyoming east to Rapid City, South Dakota and south to Colorado Springs, Colorado. There are products terminals at Rapid City, South Dakota, Cheyenne, Wyoming and Denver and Colorado Springs, Colorado with a combined storage capacity of 1.7 million barrels.

Recent Developments

Acquisition of Assets from Valero, L.P.

On September 30, 2005, we completed the purchase of certain terminal and pipeline assets (the "Valero Acquisition") from Support Terminals Operating Partnership, L.P., Kaneb Pipe Line Operating Partnership, L.P. and Shore Terminals LLC (the "Sellers") for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $455 million, plus $12.0 million for the assumption of certain environmental and operating liabilities and $3.4 million for closing costs. Valero, L.P. was required to divest these assets pursuant to an order from the Federal Trade Commission in connection with its acquisition of the Kaneb group of companies. The assets purchased consist of (i) the Martinez terminal and Richmond terminal in the San Francisco, California area, (ii) the North Philadelphia and South Philadelphia terminals and the Paulsboro, New Jersey terminal in the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania area, and (iii) a 550-mile refined products pipeline, known as the West Pipeline System, with four terminals in the U.S. Rocky Mountains (collectively, the "Valero Assts").

The Martinez and Richmond terminals currently have 4.1 million barrels of combined storage capacity. The terminals handle refined products, blend stocks and crude oil, and are connected to a network of owned and third-party pipelines that carry crude oil and light products to and from area refineries. These terminals also receive and deliver crude oil and light products by marine vessel or barge. The Richmond terminal has a rail spur for delivery and receipt of light products and a truck rack for product delivery.

The North Philadelphia, the South Philadelphia and the Paulsboro, New Jersey terminals handle refined products and have a combined storage capacity of 3.1 million barrels. The terminals receive product via connections to third party pipelines and have truck racks for deliveries. The North Philadelphia and Paulsboro terminals can also deliver and receive products by marine vessel or barge.

The 550-mile refined products pipeline system, known as the West Pipeline System, consists of 550 miles of pipeline extending from Casper, Wyoming east to Rapid City, South Dakota and south to Colorado Springs, Colorado. There are products terminals at Rapid City, South Dakota, Cheyenne, Wyoming and Denver and Colorado Springs, Colorado with a combined storage capacity of 1.7 million barrels. The West Pipeline System has various segments with different receipt and delivery points. The trunk line of the pipeline system has a current throughput capacity that ranges from approximately 35,000 to 40,000 barrels per day, depending on the segment.

We have fully integrated the operations, maintenance, marketing and business development of the West Pipeline System with our existing pipeline activities in the Rocky Mountain Business Unit. We have also similarly integrated the San Francisco area terminals and Philadelphia area terminals with our existing pipeline and terminal activities in our West Coast Business Unit.

We funded the Valero Acquisition through a combination of proceeds from a private placement of 4.3 million common units, a public equity offering of 5.2 million common units, a private placement of the outstanding notes and borrowings under our new revolving credit facility. See "—Equity Offerings" and "—New Revolving Credit Facility."

Equity Offerings

On September 14, 2005, we sold 4,550,000 common units at a public offering price of $32.00 per unit. On September 16, 2005, the underwriters exercised their over-allotment option and as a result, we sold an additional 682,500 common units at the same price. Net proceeds from the offering and exercise of the underwriters option, including our General Partner's contribution of $3.4 million, totaled approximately $163.4 million after deducting underwriting fees and offering expenses of $7.4 million. We used net proceeds from the equity offering to partially fund the Valero Acquisition.

On September 30, 2005, we sold 4,300,000 units pursuant to a Common Unit Purchase Agreement with certain institutional investors at a price of $30.75 per unit. We received net proceeds of $131.8 million for the sale of the common units, including our General Partner's contribution of $2.7 million, which were used to partially fund the Valero Acquisition. We also entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with the institutional investors, whereby we agreed to file a registration statement with the SEC for the resale from time to time of the privately placed common units, such filing to be made within 90 days after the closing, and for the Partnership thereafter to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the shelf registration statement to become or be declared effective by the SEC within 180 days after the closing date.

New Revolving Credit Facility

On September 30, 2005, we entered into a new five-year $400 million senior secured revolving credit facility (the "New Credit Facility") that replaced our previous U.S. and Canadian revolving credit facilities. The New Credit Facility is available for general partnership purposes in the U.S. and Canada, including working capital, letters of credit and distributions to unitholders (subject to certain limitations). The New Credit Facility matures on September 30, 2010, and we may prepay all loans under the New Credit Facility without premium or penalty. Obligations under the New Credit Facility are guaranteed by all of our subsidiaries except those for which regulatory approval is required and are secured by substantially all of our assets, excluding property held by the non-guaranteeing subsidiaries. The New Credit Facility is recourse to us and the guarantors, but non-recourse to our General Partner.

Included in the New Credit Facility is a Canadian sub-facility. The Canadian sub-facility currently has a limit of U.S.$100 million, but can be adjusted from time to time by us. The Canadian sub-facility includes an option for us to receive loans in either U.S. dollars or Canadian dollars.

Purchase of Crude Oil and Contracts

On July 1, 2005, we purchased certain crude oil contracts and crude oil inventories for approximately $3.8 million plus contingent payments over the next three and one half years based on specified performance criteria. The assets were purchased by the Partnership's Pacific Marketing and Transportation ("PMT") subsidiary.

Line 63 Crude Oil Release

On March 23, 2005, a release of approximately 3,400 barrels of crude oil occurred on Line 63 when it was severed as a result of a landslide induced by heavy rainfall in the Pyramid Lake area of Los Angeles County. Over the period March 2005 through March 2006, we expect to incur an estimated total of $19.5 million for oil containment and clean-up of the impacted areas, future monitoring costs, potential third-party claims and penalties, and other costs, excluding pipeline repair

costs. Through September 30, 2005, we had incurred approximately $14.1 million of the total expected oil release costs for work performed through such date.

We have a pollution liability insurance policy with a $2.0 million deductible, and the insurance carrier has, subject to the terms of the insurance policy, acknowledged coverage of the incident and is processing and paying invoices related to the clean-up. Although we believe we are entitled, subject to the $2.0 million deductible, to recover substantially all of our clean-up costs and third-party claims associated with the release, there is no absolute assurance that this will be the case. As of September 30, 2005, we have recovered $8.7 million from insurance and accrued a receivable of $8.8 million for insurance receipts we deem probable. As new information becomes available in future periods, our initial estimates of costs and recoveries may change.

We recorded $2.0 million in net costs in "Line 63 oil release costs" in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. The $2.0 million net oil release costs consist of $19.5 million of accrued costs relating to the release, net of insurance recovery of $8.7 and accrued insurance receipts of $8.8 million.

On April 18, 2005, we received the necessary approvals to begin the repair of Line 63, and Line 63 was returned to operation on April 25, 2005. During the time the pipeline was out of service, we transferred significant volumes of light crude oil, on a temporary basis, from Line 63 to Line 2000, to mitigate the impact on customers and limit the potential loss of revenue. We also asked our customers to shift volumes of OCS crude oil from Line 63 to Line 2000. The permanent repair of Line 63 was completed in October 2005. We expensed $0.7 million, all in the second quarter, for the repair of Line 63 and expect to incur $1.7 million of Line 63 capital improvements in the third and fourth quarters of 2005.

On July 21, 2005, the California Public Utilities Commission ("CPUC") approved our request to implement a temporary surcharge of $0.10 per barrel on our Line 63 long-haul tariff rates to recover our costs relating to this release together with other costs incurred or to be incurred as a result of problems caused by rain-induced earth movement and stream erosion. The surcharge was effective on August 1, 2005. We are required under the terms of the CPUC decision that approved the surcharge to substantiate in subsequent filings with the CPUC the actual costs incurred by us as a result of the Line 63 damage and our entitlement to the surcharge amounts received by us.

Sale of The Anschutz Corporation's Interest in Us

On March 3, 2005, The Anschutz Corporation completed the sale of its 36.6% interest in the Partnership to LB Pacific, LP ("LBP"), an entity formed by Lehman Brothers Merchant Banking Group. The acquisition by LBP (the "LB Acquisition") included the purchase of a 100% ownership interest in Pacific Energy GP, Inc. (predecessor of Pacific Energy GP, LP), which owned (i) a 2% general partner interest in the Partnership and the incentive distribution rights, and (ii) 10,465,000 subordinated units of the Partnership which represented a 34.6% limited partner interest. Immediately prior to the closing of the LB Acquisition, Pacific Energy GP, Inc. was converted to Pacific Energy GP, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company; and immediately after the closing of the LB Acquisition, Pacific Energy GP, LLC was converted to Pacific Energy GP, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (together with its predecessors, the "General Partner"). The general partner of Pacific Energy GP, LP is Pacific Energy Management LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("PEM" or the "Managing General Partner"), which is 100% owned by LBP. Immediately following the closing of the LB Acquisition, our General Partner distributed the 10,465,000 subordinated units of the Partnership to LBP.

In connection with the conversion of our General Partner to a limited partnership, our General Partner ceased to have a board of directors, and is now managed by PEM, its general partner. PEM has a board of directors (the "Board of Directors" or "Board") that manages the business and affairs

of PEM and, thus, indirectly manages the business and affairs of our General Partner and the Partnership. All of the officers and employees of our General Partner were transferred to the same positions with PEM, and the Board established the same committees as had been maintained by our General Partner prior to the LB Acquisition. PEM also adopted our General Partner's governance guidelines and its compensation structure and employee benefit plans and policies.

Pursuant to an Ancillary Agreement, LBP and The Anschutz Corporation reimbursed us $2.4 million, which represents the cost incurred by us in connection with a consent solicitation prepared and delivered to the holders of our 7¹/8% senior notes, due 2014 to approve certain amendments to the governing indenture, and for severance and other costs incurred in connection with the sale of our General Partner. We were required by generally accepted accounting principles to record $0.6 million as capitalized deferred financing costs and $1.8 million as an expense. The reimbursements were recorded as the General Partner's capital contribution.

On March 3, 2005, in connection with the change in control of our General Partner, all restricted units outstanding under the Long-Term Incentive Plan immediately vested pursuant to the terms of the grants. As a result, we issued 99,583 common units and recorded a compensation expense of $3.1 million.

Cash Distribution

On October 21, 2005, we declared a cash distribution of $0.5125 per limited partner unit, and we paid the cash distribution on November 14, 2005 to unitholders of record as of October 31, 2005.

PARTNERSHIP STRUCTURE AND MANAGEMENT

We are managed by our General Partner, which is a wholly owned subsidiary of LB Pacific, LP, which is owned approximately 70% by affiliates of Lehman Brothers Inc., an initial purchaser in the offering of 6¹/4% senior notes due 2015, and approximately 30% by First Reserve Fund X, L.P., a private investment fund advised by First Reserve Corporation. Our General Partner is managed by its general partner, Pacific Energy Management LLC, which is 100% owned by LB Pacific, LP. Thus, the Board of Directors of Pacific Energy Management LLC indirectly manages the business and affairs of our General Partner and us.

We hold a 100% ownership interest in Pacific Energy Group LLC, whose 100% owned subsidiaries consist of: (i) Pacific Pipeline System LLC, owner of Line 2000 and the Line 63 system, (ii) Pacific Terminals LLC, owner of the Pacific Terminals storage and distribution system, (iii) Pacific Marketing and Transportation LLC, owner of the Pacific Management and Transportation gathering and blending system, (iv) Pacific Atlantic Terminals LLC, which was formed for the purpose of acquiring the California and East Coast terminal assets we purchased on September 30, 2005 as part of the Valero Acquisition, (v) Rocky Mountain Pipeline System LLC, owner of the Western Corridor and the Salt Lake City Core systems, and which acquired the West pipeline system on September 30, 2005 as part of the Valero Acquisition, and (vi) Ranch Pipeline LLC, the owner of a 22.22% partnership interest in Frontier Pipeline Company, a Wyoming general partnership.

We hold a 100% ownership interest in PEG Canada GP LLC, the general partner of PEG Canada, L.P., the holding company of our Canadian subsidiaries. We own 100% of the limited and general partner interests in PEG Canada, L.P., whose 100% owned subsidiaries consist of (i) Rangeland Pipeline Company, which owns 100% of Aurora Pipeline Company Ltd., and a partnership interest in Rangeland Pipeline Partnership, (ii) Rangeland Northern Pipeline Company, which owns the remaining partnership interest in Rangeland Pipeline Partnership, and (iii) Rangeland Marketing Company.

The following summary contains basic information about the new notes and is not intended to be complete. It does not contain all the information that is important to you. For a more complete understanding of the new notes, please refer to the section of this prospectus entitled "Description of the Notes."

Issuers	Pacific Energy Partners, L.P. and Pacific Energy Finance Corporation.
	Pacific Energy Finance Corporation, a Delaware corporation, is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pacific Energy Partners, L.P. that was organized for the purpose of co-issuing our 7¹/8% senior notes due 2014 and also co-issued our 6¹/4% senior notes due 2015. Pacific Energy Finance Corporation 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 our 7¹/8% senior notes due 2014 and 6¹/4% senior notes due 2015.
Notes offered	$175,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of 6¹/4% senior notes due September 15, 2015.
Maturity date	September 15, 2015.
Interest payment dates	March 15 and September 15 of each year.
Ranking	The notes will be our general unsecured obligations, ranking equally with our existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness. However, the notes and the guarantees will be effectively subordinated to all of our and our guarantor subsidiaries' existing and future secured indebtedness, including indebtedness under the New Credit Facility. The notes will be effectively subordinated to the indebtedness and other liabilities of our non-guarantor subsidiaries.
	As of September 30, 2005, after giving effect to the private sale of 4,300,000 common units, the related General Partner capital contribution and the closing of the acquisition of the Valero Assets, we had an aggregate of $539.8 million of indebtedness and $16.8 million of letters of credit outstanding.
Subsidiary guarantees	The notes will be jointly and severally guaranteed by certain of our subsidiaries, including Pacific Energy Group LLC, Pacific Marketing and Transportation LLC, Pacific Atlantic Terminals LLC, Rocky Mountain Pipeline System LLC, Ranch Pipeline LLC, PEG Canada GP LLC and PEG Canada, L.P. The subsidiary guarantees will rank:
	•	equally in right of payment with all of the existing and future senior indebtedness of our guarantor subsidiaries, including their guarantees of our other senior indebtedness;

	•	effectively subordinated (i) to all existing and future secured indebtedness of our guarantor subsidiaries to the extent of the value of the assets securing that indebtedness and (ii) to all existing and future indebtedness and other liabilities of our non-guarantor subsidiaries; and
	•	senior in right of payment to any future subordinated indebtedness of our guarantor subsidiaries.
	As of September 30, 2005, the subsidiary guarantees were effectively subordinated to $114.2 million of our secured indebtedness that has been guaranteed by our guarantor subsidiaries (to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness).
Mandatory redemption	None.
Optional redemption	We will have the option to redeem the notes, in whole or in part, at any time on or after September 15, 2010, at the redemption prices described under the caption "Description of Notes—Optional Redemption," together with any accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption.
	Before September 15, 2008, we may, at any time or from time to time, redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the notes with the net proceeds of a public or private equity offering at 106.25% of the principal amount of the notes, plus any accrued and unpaid interest, if at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of the notes issued under the indenture remain outstanding after such redemption and the redemption occurs within 120 days of the date of the closing of such equity offering.
	In addition, we may redeem some or all of the notes prior to September 15, 2010 at a "make-whole" redemption price as described under the caption "Description of Notes—Optional Redemption."
Change of control	When a change of control event occurs, each holder of notes may require us to repurchase all or a portion of its notes at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount of the notes, plus any accrued and unpaid interest.
Certain covenants	The indenture governing the notes contains covenants that, among other things, will limit our ability and the ability of our restricted subsidiaries to:
	•	incur or guarantee additional indebtedness or issue certain types of equity securities;
	•	sell assets;
	•	pay distributions on, redeem or repurchase our units or redeem or repurchase our subordinated debt;
	•	make investments;
	•	create or incur certain liens;

	•	enter into agreements that restrict dividends or other payments from our restricted subsidiaries to us;
	•	consolidate, merge or transfer all or substantially all of our assets;
	•	engage in transactions with affiliates;
	•	create unrestricted subsidiaries; and
	•	enter into sale and leaseback transactions.
	These covenants are subject to important exceptions and qualifications that are described under the caption "Description of the Notes" in this prospectus.
	If the new notes achieve an investment grade rating from at least two of Moody's, Standard & Poor's and Fitch, many of these covenants will terminate.
Transfer restrictions; absence of a public market for the notes	The new notes generally will be freely transferable, but will also be new securities for which there is currently no market. There can be no assurance as to the development or liquidity of any market for the new notes. We do not intend to apply for listing of the new notes on any securities exchange or for the quotation of the new notes in any automated dealer quotation system.
Risk factors	For a discussion of certain risks that should be considered in connection with an investment in the new notes, see "Risk Factors" beginning on page 15 of this prospectus and the "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004, which is incorporated herein by reference.

RISK FACTORS

An investment in the notes involves a high degree of risk, including the risks described below. You should carefully consider the following risk factors together with all of the other information included in this prospectus, including the financial statement and related notes, before making an investment decision. In addition, you should read the risk factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004, which is incorporated herein by reference. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial may also materially and adversely affect our business operations. If any of the following risks were actually to occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially and adversely affected. In that event, we may be unable to pay interest on, or the principal of, the notes. In that event, you may lose all or part of your investment.

Risks Relating to 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 remain restricted and may 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 are 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 exchange offer, the outstanding notes you hold will continue to be subject to existing transfer restrictions. In general, you may not offer or sell the outstanding notes except under and exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the Securities Act of 1933 and applicable states securities laws. We do not plan to register the outstanding notes under the Securities Act of 1933 unless our registration rights agreement with the initial purchasers of the outstanding notes requires us to do so. Further, if you continue to hold any outstanding notes after the exchange offer is consummated, you may have trouble selling them because there will be fewer of those notes outstanding.

Our substantial indebtedness and other financial obligations could impair our financial condition and our ability to fulfill our debt obligations.

We have substantial indebtedness and other financial obligations. As of September 30, 2005, we had:

•: total indebtedness of $539.8 million; and
•: $152.6 million of undrawn but available credit under the new senior secured revolving credit facility. With the consent of the administrative agent under the new revolving credit facility, we can increase credit availability up to an additional $116.4 million, based upon pro-forma EBITDA from future acquisitions.

Subject to the restrictions governing our indebtedness and other financial obligations and the indenture governing the notes, we may incur significant additional indebtedness and other financial obligations.

Our substantial indebtedness and other financial obligations could have important consequences to you. For example, it could:

•: make it more difficult for us to satisfy our obligations with respect to the notes;
•: impair our ability to obtain additional financing in the future for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions, general partnership purposes or other purposes;

•: result in higher interest expense in the event of increases in interest rates since some of our debt is, and will continue to be, at variable rates of interest;
•: have a material adverse effect on us if we fail to comply with financial and restrictive covenants in our debt agreements and an event of default occurs as a result of that failure that is not cured or waived;
•: require us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow to payments on our indebtedness and other financial obligations, thereby reducing the availability of our cash flow to fund working capital, capital expenditures and other general partnership requirements;
•: limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and the industry in which we operate; and
•: place us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors that have proportionately less debt.

If we are unable to meet our debt service obligations and other financial obligations, we could be forced to restructure or refinance our indebtedness and other financial obligations, seek additional equity capital or sell our assets. We may then be unable to obtain such financing or capital or sell our assets on satisfactory terms, if at all.

Our partnership agreement limits our ability to accumulate cash, which may limit cash available to service the notes or to repay them at maturity.

Our partnership agreement requires us to distribute on a quarterly basis, 100% of our available cash to our unitholders of record and our General Partner. Available cash is generally all of our cash on hand at the end of each quarter, after payment of fees and expenses and the establishment of cash reserves by our General Partner in its discretion. Our General Partner determines the amount and timing of cash distributions and has broad discretion to establish and make additions to our reserves or the reserves of our operating subsidiaries in amounts our General Partner determines in its reasonable discretion to be necessary or appropriate:

•: to provide for the proper conduct of our business and the businesses of our operating subsidiaries (including reserves for future capital expenditures and for our anticipated future credit needs);
•: to provide funds for distributions to our unitholders and our General Partner for any one or more of the next four calendar quarters; or
•: to comply with applicable law or any of our loan or other agreements.

Depending on the timing and amount of our cash distributions to unitholders and because we are not required to accumulate cash for the purpose of meeting obligations to holders of any notes, such distributions could significantly reduce the cash available to us in subsequent periods to make payments on the notes.

We have a holding company structure in which our subsidiaries conduct our operations and own our operating assets, which may affect our ability to make payments on the notes.

We have a holding company structure, and our subsidiaries conduct all of our operations and own all of our operating assets. Pacific Energy Partners, L.P. has no significant assets other than the ownership interests in its subsidiaries. As a result, our ability to make required payments on the notes depends on the performance of our subsidiaries and their ability to distribute funds to us. The ability of our subsidiaries to make distributions to us may be restricted by, among other things, applicable state partnership and limited liability company laws and other laws and regulations. If we are unable to

obtain the funds necessary to pay the principal amount at maturity of the notes, or to repurchase the notes upon the occurrence of a change of control, we may be required to adopt one or more alternatives, such as a refinancing of the notes. We cannot assure you that we would be able to refinance the notes.

Restrictive covenants in the agreements governing our indebtedness may reduce our operating flexibility.

The indenture governing our 7¹/8% senior notes due 2014, the indenture that governs the outstanding notes and agreements governing the New Credit Facility and other indebtedness contain various covenants that limit our ability to, among other things:

•: incur or guarantee additional indebtedness or issue certain types of equity securities;
•: sell assets;
•: pay distributions on, redeem or repurchase our units or redeem or repurchase our subordinated debt;
•: make investments;
•: create or incur certain liens;
•: enter into agreements that restrict dividends or other payments from our restricted subsidiaries to us;
•: consolidate, merge or transfer all or substantially all of our assets;
•: engage in transactions with affiliates;
•: create unrestricted subsidiaries; and
•: enter into sale and leaseback transactions.

These restrictions could limit our ability to obtain future financings, make necessary capital expenditures, withstand a future downturn in our business or the economy in general, conduct operations or otherwise take advantage of business opportunities that may arise. The New Credit Facility contains covenants that require us to maintain specified financial ratios and satisfy other financial conditions. We may be unable to meet those ratios and conditions. Any future breach of any of these covenants or our failure to meet any of these ratios or conditions could result in a default under the terms of the relevant indebtedness or other financial obligations, which could cause such indebtedness or other financial obligations, and by reason of cross-acceleration provisions, the notes, to become due and payable. If we were unable to repay those amounts, the lenders of such indebtedness could initiate a bankruptcy proceeding or liquidation proceeding or proceed against the collateral.

Payment of principal and interest on the notes will be unsecured and will be effectively subordinated to our existing and future secured indebtedness and to indebtedness of any of our subsidiaries who do not guarantee the notes.

The notes, including any guarantees on the notes given by the subsidiary guarantors, will be effectively subordinated to the claims of our secured creditors. In the event of the insolvency, bankruptcy, liquidation, reorganization, dissolution or winding up of our business or that of any subsidiary guarantors, our secured creditors would generally have the right to be paid in full before any distribution is made to the holders of the notes. Furthermore, none of Pacific Pipeline System LLC, Pacific Terminals LLC, Rangeland Pipeline Company, Rangeland Northern Pipeline Company, Rangeland Pipeline Partnership, Rangeland Marketing Company and Aurora Pipeline Company Ltd. will guarantee the notes; therefore, the notes will be effectively subordinated to the claims of all creditors, including trade creditors and tort claimants, of those subsidiaries. As of September 30, 2005,

our non-guarantor subsidiaries had $19.2 million of indebtedness under our New Credit Facility and $3.9 million of other indebtedness. 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 the issuer of the notes or the holders of the notes. Our non-guarantor subsidiaries collectively accounted for approximately 68.3% of our revenue in 2004 and approximately 68.0% of our revenue for the first nine months of 2005.

Many of the covenants contained in the indenture will terminate if the notes are rated investment grade by at least two of Moody's, Standard & Poor's and Fitch.

Many of the covenants in the indenture governing the notes will no longer apply to us if the notes are rated investment grade by at least two of Moody's, Standard & Poor's and Fitch, provided at such time no default has occurred and is continuing. These covenants will restrict, among other things, our ability to pay distributions, incur debt, and to enter into certain other transactions. There can be no assurance that the notes will ever be rated investment grade or that if they are rated investment grade, that the notes will maintain such ratings. However, termination of these covenants would allow us to engage in certain transactions that would not be permitted while these covenants were in force. See "Description of Notes—Certain Covenants—Covenant Termination."

The subsidiary guarantees could be deemed fraudulent conveyances under certain circumstances, and a court may try to subordinate or void the subsidiary guarantees.

Under the federal bankruptcy laws and comparable provisions of state fraudulent transfer laws, a guarantee could be voided, or claims in respect of a guarantee could be subordinated to all other debts of that guarantor if, among other things, the guarantor, at the time it incurred the indebtedness evidenced by its guarantee:

•: received less than reasonably equivalent value or fair consideration for the incurrence of such guarantee; and
•: was insolvent or rendered insolvent by reason of such incurrence; or
•: was engaged in a business or transaction for which the guarantor's remaining assets constituted unreasonably small capital; or
•: intended to incur, or believed that it would incur, debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature.

In addition, any payment by that guarantor pursuant to its guarantee could be voided and required to be returned to the guarantor, or to a fund for the benefit of the creditors of the guarantor. The measures of insolvency for purposes of these fraudulent transfer laws will vary depending upon the law applied in any proceeding to determine whether a fraudulent transfer has occurred. Generally, however, a guarantor would be considered insolvent if:

•: the sum of its debts, including contingent liabilities, was greater than the fair saleable value of all of its assets;
•: the present fair saleable value of its assets was less than the amount that would be required to pay its probable liability, including contingent liabilities, on its existing debts, as they become absolute and mature; or
•: it could not pay its debts as they become due.

We may not be able to repurchase the notes upon certain change of control events.

Upon the occurrence of specific change of control events affecting us, you will have the right to require us to repurchase the notes at 101% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of payment. Our ability to repurchase the notes upon such a change of control event would be limited by our access to funds at the time of the repurchase and the terms of our other debt agreements. Upon a change of control event, we may be required immediately to repay the outstanding principal, any accrued interest on and any other amounts owed by us under our credit facilities, the notes and other outstanding indebtedness. The source of funds for these repayments would be our available cash or cash generated from other sources. However, we cannot assure you that we will have sufficient funds available upon a change of control event to make any required repurchases of this outstanding indebtedness.

Cost reimbursements to our General Partner, which are determined in our General Partner's sole discretion, may be substantial and reduce our cash available to pay interest on, or the principal of, the notes.

Our General Partner is entitled to be reimbursed for all expenses it incurs on our behalf. Our General Partner has sole discretion in determining the amount of these expenses. Our obligation to reimburse our General Partner for expenses may be substantial. These cost reimbursements to our General Partner reduce the amount of available cash for payment to our noteholders. Our General Partner and its affiliates also may provide us other services for which we will be charged fees as determined by our General Partner.

Your ability to transfer the new notes may be limited by the absence of an active trading market, and there is no assurance that any active true market will develop for the new notes.

The new notes are a new issue of securities for which there is no established public market. Although we have registered the new notes under the Securities Act of 1933, we do not intend to apply for listing of the new notes on any securities exchange or for quotation of the new notes in any automated dealer quotation system. In addition, although the initial purchasers of the outstanding notes have informed us that they intend to make a market for the new notes after the exchange offer, as permitted by applicable laws and regulations, they are not obliged to make a market for the new notes, and they may discontinue their market-making activities at any time without notice. Therefore, we cannot assure you that an active market for the new notes will develop or, if developed, that it will continue. Finally, if a large number of holders of outstanding notes do not tender outstanding notes or tender outstanding notes improperly, the limited amount of new notes that would be issued and outstanding after we consummate the exchange offer could adversely affect the development of a market for these new notes.

Risks Associated with the Acquisition of the Valero Assets

The integration of the Valero Assets into our operations may be more costly than anticipated.

We may face difficulties integrating the Valero Assets into our operations on an efficient and timely basis, resulting in significantly higher costs to us than anticipated and thus adversely affecting our ability to service the notes. During the transition of operational control of these assets from the Sellers to us, we may experience unforeseen operating difficulties as we integrate the acquired assets into our existing operations, including difficulties:

•: integrating the financial, technological and management standards, processes, procedures and controls of the acquired assets with those of our existing operations;
•: managing the increased scope and complexity of our operations; and
•: mitigating contingent and/or assumed liabilities.

In connection with our acquisition of the Valero Assets, we incurred certain liabilities. These costs and liabilities may not be covered by indemnification rights we have against the Sellers of the Valero Assets or may be in excess of amounts we have estimated.

The Valero Assets have been used for many years to distribute, store or transport petroleum products. There have been known releases of hazardous materials at almost all of the terminal sites and some of the pipeline rights-of-way included in the Valero Assets, and most of these sites are undergoing active remediation. The risks associated with these environmental conditions, the costs of remediation and certain penalties for non-compliance, are being assumed by us, subject only to limited indemnity from the Sellers of the Valero Assets in the event of a breach of a Seller warranty. Releases may also have occurred in the past that have not yet been discovered, which could require costly future remediation. In addition, we are assuming the risk of various other liabilities associated with the Valero Assets that relate to events that occurred prior to our acquisition. Some of these liabilities are known, although the extent of the liability could be greater than we have estimated, and other liabilities are unasserted and unknown. If a significant spill or other release event occurred in the past the liability for which was not retained by the Sellers or for which indemnification from the Sellers is not available, it could adversely affect our financial position and results of operations, and, therefore, our ability to pay interest on, or the principal of, the notes could be adversely affected.

The Valero Assets, like our other assets, are subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations, including those relating to environmental protection and safety, that could require us to make substantial expenditures and could have a material impact on our results of operations or financial condition.

The Valero Assets, like our other assets, are subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to environmental protection and safety. Many of these laws and regulations impose complex and stringent permitting and other compliance requirements. These laws are subject to change, which can result in an increase in our ongoing costs of compliance, which could potentially have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations. We could, therefore, be adversely affected by increased costs due to stricter pollution control requirements or liabilities resulting from compliance with future required operating permits. Failure to comply with these environmental and safety laws and regulations can also result in the assessment of administrative, civil, or criminal penalties and, in some instances, the issuance of injunctions to limit or cease operations. The extent of liability or compliance cost related to the Valero Assets could be greater than we have estimated, and there may be other compliance issues that are unasserted and unknown. If a significant compliance issue or combination of issues exist, they could adversely affect our financial position and results of operations, and, therefore, our ability to pay interest on, or the principal of, the notes could be adversely affected.

We incurred a substantial amount of secured indebtedness in connection with the acquisition of the Valero Assets, which effectively ranks senior to the notes to the extent of the value of the security.

We financed the acquisition of the Valero Assets with the net proceeds of the offering of the outstanding notes, a private sale of our common units, the public sale of 5,232,500 common units and borrowings under the New Credit Facility. Borrowings under the New Credit Facility are secured by substantially all of our assets other than those held by Pacific Pipeline System LLC, Pacific Terminals LLC and Aurora Pipeline Company Ltd., and the notes will be effectively subordinated to such facility. Please see "Risks Relating to the Notes—Payment of principal and interest on the notes will be unsecured and will be effectively subordinated to our existing and future secured indebtedness and to indebtedness of any of our subsidiaries who do not guarantee the notes."

Risks Associated with Us

Actual costs incurred in connection with the release of crude oil on Line 63 in excess of our total estimated cost could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

The estimates of oil containment and clean-up of the areas impacted by the crude oil release on Line 63 are based on facts known at the time of estimation and our assessment of the ultimate outcome. Among the many uncertainties that impact the estimates are the necessary regulatory approvals for, and potential modification of, remediation plans, the ongoing assessment of the impact of soil and water contamination, changes in costs associated with environmental remediation services and equipment, and the possibility of third-party legal claims giving rise to additional expenses. Therefore, no assurance can be made that any costs incurred in excess of the total estimated cost for oil containment and clean-up of the impacted areas, if any, would not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Tax Risks

You are urged to read "Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations" for a discussion of the expected material federal income tax consequences of purchasing the notes.

Our treatment will depend on our status as a partnership for federal income tax purposes, as well as our not being subject to entity-level taxation by individual states. If the IRS treats us as a corporation for tax purposes or we become subject to entity-level taxation, it could reduce the amount of cash available for payment of principal and interest on the notes.

If we were classified as a corporation for federal income tax purposes, we would pay federal income tax on our taxable income at the corporate tax rate. Treatment of us as a corporation would cause a material reduction in our anticipated cash flow, which could materially and adversely affect our ability to make payments on the notes. In addition, because of widespread state budget deficits, several states are evaluating ways to subject partnerships and limited liability companies to entity-level taxation through the imposition of state income, franchise or other forms of taxation. Imposition of such forms of taxation would reduce our cash flow.

You are urged to read "Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations" for a discussion of the expected material federal income tax consequences of an investment in the notes.

RATIO OF EARNINGS TO FIXED CHARGES

The following table sets forth our ratio of consolidated earnings to fixed charges for the periods presented:

	For the Years Ended December 31,					For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2005
	2000	2001	2002	2003	2004	For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2005
Ratio of earnings to fixed charges	1.8	2.6	3.9	2.5	2.8	2.6

For purposes of calculating the ratios of consolidated earnings to fixed charges:

•: "earnings" consist of pre-tax income from continuing operations plus fixed charges, net of capitalized interest; and
•: "fixed charges" represent interest incurred (whether expensed or capitalized), amortization of deferred financing costs and accretion of discount, and that portion of rental expense on operating leases deemed to be the equivalent of interest.

THE EXCHANGE OFFER

Purpose and Effect of the Exchange Offer

In connection with the issuance of the outstanding notes, we entered into a registration rights agreement. The following description of the registration rights agreement is a summary of the material provisions of the registration rights agreement. It is not complete and does not describe all of the provisions of the registration rights agreement. For more information, you should review the provisions of the registration rights agreement that we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. In addition, the information below concerning specific interpretation of, and positions taken by, the staff of the SEC is not intended to constitute legal advice. You should consult your own legal advisors with respect to those matters.

Under the registration rights agreement, we agreed that, promptly after the effectiveness of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, we would offer to the holders of outstanding notes who are not prohibited by any law or policy of the SEC from participating in the exchange offer, the opportunity to exchange their outstanding notes for a new series of notes, which we refer to as the new notes. The new notes are identical in all material respects to the outstanding notes, except that these new notes: will not contain transfer restrictions; will be registered under the Securities Act of 1933; will not contain provisions regarding the payment of additional interest; and will not be subject to further registration rights. We agreed to keep the exchange offer open for not less than 30 days, or longer if required by applicable law, after the date on which notice of the exchange offer is mailed to the holders of the outstanding notes.

The registration rights agreement also provides that we:

•: make available a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 to any broker-dealer for use in connection with any resale of any new notes for a period of 180 days after the consummation of the exchange offer (or such shorter period during which participating broker-dealers are required by law to deliver such prospectus);
•: pay all expenses incident to the exchange offer; and
•: indemnify certain holders of the outstanding notes, including any broker-dealer, against some liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933.

The new notes will bear interest at a rate of 6¹/4% per year, payable semi-annually on March 15 and September 15 of each year, beginning on March 15, 2006. Holders of the new notes will receive interest from the date of the original issuance of the outstanding notes, or from the date of the last payment of interest on the outstanding notes, whichever is later. Holders of new notes will not receive any interest on outstanding notes tendered and accepted for exchange.

Each holder of outstanding notes who wishes to exchange its outstanding notes for new notes in the exchange offer will be required to represent to us that at the time of the consummation of the exchange offer:

•: it is not our "affiliate" within the meaning of Rule 405 of the Securities Act of 1933, or if it is an affiliate, it will comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act of 1933;
•: it is not a broker-dealer and it is not engaged in nor does it intend to engage in the distribution of the new notes;
•: the new notes to be received by it will be acquired in the ordinary course of business;

•: it has no arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in the distribution within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933 of the outstanding notes or the new notes; and
•: if it is a broker-dealer, it will receive the new notes for its own account in exchange for the outstanding notes that were acquired as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities and acknowledges it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of the new notes.

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. Under our registration rights agreement, we are required to allow such broker-dealers and other persons, if any, subject to similar prospectus delivery requirements, to use this prospectus in connection with the resale of new notes and we have agreed, for a period not to exceed 180 days following the consummation of the exchange offer, to make available a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 to any participating broker-dealer for use in connection with any resale of any new notes acquired in the exchange offer. Please read the section captioned "Plan of Distribution" for more details regarding the transfer of new notes.

Shelf Registration

•: If we are not permitted to consummate the exchange offer as contemplated in this prospectus because the exchange offer is not permitted by applicable law or SEC policy; or
•: upon notice to us by any holder in specified circumstances,

then we will, in addition to or instead of affecting the registration of the new notes pursuant to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, as the case may be,

•: file as promptly as practicable with the SEC, but in no event more than 75 days after so required or requested, a shelf registration statement to cover resales of the notes by those holders who satisfy various conditions relating to the provision of information in connection with the shelf registration statement;
•: use our commercially reasonable efforts to have the shelf registration statement declared effective by the SEC as soon as practicable after it is filed, and in any event, no later than 150 days after we are required to file such shelf registration statement; and
•: use our commercially reasonable efforts to keep the shelf registration statement effective until two years from the date of its effectiveness or until all of the notes covered by the shelf registration statement have been sold pursuant thereto or are no longer subject to restrictions on resale under the Securities Act of 1933; provided, however, that we may fail to keep the shelf registration statement effective and usable for offers and sales of notes for specified periods under certain circumstances.

In the event of the filing of a shelf registration statement, we will provide to each holder of notes that are covered by the shelf registration statement copies of the prospectus that is part of the shelf registration statement and notify each holder when the shelf registration statement become effective. A holder of notes who sells the notes pursuant to the shelf registration statement generally will be required to be named as a selling security holder in the related prospectus, to deliver information to be used in connection with the shelf registration, and to deliver a prospectus to purchasers, will be subject to the civil liability provisions under the Securities Act of 1933 in connection with the sales and will be bound by the provisions of the registration rights agreement that are applicable to the holder, including indemnification rights.

Additional Interest

If any of the following events occur, each of which is referred to as a registration default:

•: if required, the shelf registration statement has not been filed with the SEC on or prior to the 75th day after such event occurs which requires the filing of the shelf registration statement;
•: if required, the shelf registration statement is not declared effective on or prior to the 150th day following the event which requires the filing of the shelf registration statement;
•: the exchange offer has not been consummated on or prior to the 40th business day after the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part has been declared effective; or
•: if either the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part or the shelf registration statement has been filed and declared effective but after its effective date ceases to be effective or is unusable for its intended purpose for certain specified periods of time,

then we will be obligated to pay additional interest to each holder of the notes in addition to the rate shown on the cover page of this prospectus, from and including the date on which any such registration default shall occur to, but excluding the date on which the registration default has been cured, at a rate of 0.25% per year, for the first 90-day period immediately following the occurrence of the registration default. The additional interest shall 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 rate of 1.0% per year.

Resales of the New Notes

Based on existing interpretations of the SEC staff in several no-action letters issued to third parties, we believe that new notes issued under the exchange for outstanding 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 of 1933 if:

•: you are not our "affiliate" within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act of 1933 or a broker-dealer that acquired outstanding notes directly from us for its own account;
•: those new notes are acquired in the ordinary course of 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 or otherwise do not satisfy the foregoing criteria, you:

•: cannot rely on such interpretations by the SEC staff;
•: will not be able to exchange your outstanding notes for new notes in the exchange offer; and
•: must comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 in connection with a secondary resale transaction, unless the resale is made pursuant to an exemption from, or is otherwise not subject to, those requirements.

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 of 1933. This registration statement should contain the selling security holder's information required by Item 507 of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act of 1933. This prospectus may be used for an offer to resell, resale or other transfer of new notes only as specifically described in this prospectus. Only

broker-dealers that acquired the outstanding notes as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities may participate in the exchange offer. 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. Under our registration rights agreement, we are required to allow such broker-dealers and other persons, if any, subject to similar prospectus delivery requirements, to use this prospectus in connection with the resale of new notes and we have agreed to make available a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 to any participating broker-dealer for use in connection with any resale of any new notes acquired in the exchange offer for a period not to exceed 180 days following the consummation of the exchange offer (or such shorter period during which participating broker-dealers are required by law to deliver such prospectus). Please read the section captioned "Plan of Distribution" for more details regarding the transfer of new notes.

Suspension of Resales

If a broker-dealer participating in this exchange offer receives notice from us of:

•: any request by the SEC or any state securities authority for amendments or supplements to the registration statement or prospectus or for additional information after the registration statement has become effective;
•: the issuance by the SEC or any state securities authority of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the registration statement or the qualification of the new notes to be offered or sold by any participating broker-dealer of the initiation of proceedings for that purpose;
•: the happening of any event or the failure of any event or the discovery of any facts that makes any statement or related prospectus untrue in any material respect or that causes the registration statement or the related prospectus to omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, as well as any other corporate developments, public filings with the SEC or similar events causes the registration statement not to be effective or the prospectus not to be usable for resales; or
•: our reasonable determination that a post-effective amendment to the registration statement would be appropriate,

then the participating broker-dealer will suspend the sale of the notes pursuant to that prospectus until we have either,

•: amended or supplemented the prospectus to correct the misstatement or omission and furnished copies of the amended or supplemented prospectus to the holder, or participating broker-dealer, as the case may be; or
•: given notice that the sale of the notes may be resumed.

Terms of the Exchange Offer

Subject to the terms and conditions described in this prospectus and in the 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 in the exchange offer. Outstanding notes may be tendered only for new notes and only in integral multiples of $1,000.

The exchange offer is not conditioned upon any minimum aggregate principal amount of outstanding notes being tendered for exchange.

As of the date of this prospectus, $175,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding notes are outstanding. This prospectus and the letter of transmittal are being sent to all registered holders of outstanding notes. There will be no fixed record date for determining registered holders of outstanding notes entitled to participate in the exchange offer.

We intend to conduct the exchange offer in accordance with the provisions of the registration rights agreement, the applicable requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 and 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 exchange offer will remain outstanding and continue to accrue interest. These outstanding notes will continue to be entitled to the rights and benefits such holders have under the indenture relating to the notes.

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 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 connecting 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 the tendering holder as promptly as practicable after the expiration or termination of the exchange offer.

Expiration Date

The exchange offer will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on January 27, 2006, unless, in our sole discretion, we extend it.

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 the exchange offer is open. We may delay acceptance of any outstanding notes by giving oral or written notice of such extension to their holders. During any such extensions, all outstanding notes previously tendered will remain subject to the 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 Offer" 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 the 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 may extend the exchange offer.

Conditions to the Exchange Offer

We will not be required to accept for exchange, or exchange any new notes for, any outstanding notes if the 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 the 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 who has not made to us the representations described under "—Purpose and Effect of the Exchange Offer," "—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 of 1933, or if a holder tendering outstanding notes fails to comply with the procedures contained in the letter of transmittal to tender outstanding notes.

We expressly reserve the right to extend, amend or terminate the 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 offer specified herein or in the letter of transmittal. 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.

In addition, 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 the registration statement of which this prospectus constitutes a part or the qualification of the indenture relating to the notes under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939.

Procedures for Tendering

How to Tender Generally

Only a holder of outstanding notes may tender such outstanding notes in the exchange offer. To tender in the exchange offer, a holder must:

•: complete, sign and date the letter of transmittal, or a facsimile of the letter of transmittal;
•: have the signature on the letter of transmittal guaranteed if the letter of transmittal so requires; and
•: mail or deliver such letter of transmittal or facsimile to the exchange agent in sufficient time for receipt by the exchange agent prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the expiration date; or
•: comply with the automated tender offer program procedures of the Depository Trust Company ("DTC") described below.

In addition, either:

•: the exchange agent must receive outstanding notes along with the letter of transmittal;
•: the exchange agent must receive prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the expiration date, a timely confirmation of book-entry transfer of such outstanding notes into the exchange agent's account at DTC according to the procedure for book-entry transfer described below or a properly transmitted agent's message; or
•: the holder must comply with the guaranteed delivery procedures described below.

To be tendered effectively, the exchange agent must receive any physical delivery of the letter of transmittal and other required documents at its address indicated on the cover page of the letter of transmittal. The exchange agent must receive such documents prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the expiration date.

The tender by a holder who is not withdrawn prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the expiration date will constitute an agreement between the holder and us in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions described in this prospectus and in the letter of transmittal.

THE METHOD OF DELIVERY OF OUTSTANDING NOTES, THE LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL AND ALL OTHER REQUIRED DOCUMENTS TO THE EXCHANGE AGENT IS AT YOUR ELECTION AND RISK. RATHER THAN MAILING THESE ITEMS, WE RECOMMEND THAT YOU USE AN OVERNIGHT OR HAND DELIVERY SERVICE. IN ALL CASES, YOU SHOULD ALLOW SUFFICIENT TIME TO ASSURE DELIVERY TO THE EXCHANGE AGENT BEFORE 5:00 P.M., NEW YORK CITY TIME, ON THE EXPIRATION DATE. YOU SHOULD NOT SEND THE LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL OR OUTSTANDING NOTES TO US. YOU MAY REQUEST YOUR BROKERS, DEALERS, COMMERCIAL BANKS, TRUST COMPANIES OR OTHER NOMINEES TO EFFECT THE ABOVE TRANSACTIONS FOR YOU.

How to Tender If You Are a Beneficial Owner

If you beneficially own outstanding notes that are registered in the name of a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee and you wish to tender those notes, you should contact the registered holder promptly and instruct it to tender on your behalf. If you are a beneficial owner and wish to tender on your own behalf, you must, prior to completing and executing the letter of transmittal and delivering your outstanding notes, either:

•: make appropriate arrangements to register ownership of the outstanding notes in your name; or
•: obtain a properly completed bond power from the registered holder of outstanding notes.

The transfer of registered ownership, if permitted under the indenture for the notes, may take considerable time and may not be completed prior to the expiration date.

Signatures and Signature Guarantees

You must have signatures on a letter of transmittal or a notice of withdrawal (as described below) guaranteed by a member firm of a registered national securities exchange or of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., a commercial bank or trust company having an office or correspondent in the United States, or an "eligible guarantor institution" within the meaning of Rule l7Ad-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. In addition, such entity must be a member of one of the recognized signature guarantee programs identified in the letter of transmittal.

When You Need Endorsements or Bond Powers

If the letter of transmittal is signed by a person other than the registered holder of any outstanding notes, the outstanding notes must be endorsed or accompanied by a properly completed bond power. The endorsement or bond power, as applicable, must be signed by the registered holder as the registered holder's name appears on the outstanding notes. A member firm of a registered national securities exchange or of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., a commercial bank or trust company having an office or correspondent in the United States, or an eligible guarantor institution must guarantee the signature on the endorsement or bond power, as applicable.

If the letter of transmittal or any outstanding notes or bond powers are signed by trustees, executors, administrators, guardians, attorneys-in-fact, officers of corporations or others acting in a fiduciary or representative capacity those persons should so indicate when signing. Unless waived by us, they should also submit evidence satisfactory to us of their authority to deliver the letter of transmittal.

Tendering Through DTC's Automated Tender Offer Program

The exchange agent and DTC have confirmed that any financial institution that is a participant in DTC's system may use DTC's automated tender offer program to tender. Participants in the program may, instead of physically completing and signing the letter of transmittal and delivering it to the exchange agent, transmit their acceptance of the exchange offer electronically. They may do so by causing DTC to transfer the outstanding notes to the exchange agent in accordance with its procedures for transfer. DTC will then send an agent's message to the exchange agent.

The term "agent's message" means a message transmitted by DTC, received by the exchange agent and forming part of the book-entry confirmation to the effect that:

•: DTC has received an express acknowledgment from a participant in its automated tender offer program that is tendering outstanding notes that are the subject of such book-entry confirmation;
•: such participant has received and agrees to be bound by the terms of the letter of transmittal or, in the case of an agent's message relating to guaranteed delivery, that such participant has received and agrees to be bound by the applicable notice of guaranteed delivery; and
•: the agreement may be enforced against such participant.

Determinations Under the Exchange Offer

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 the exchange offer, including the instructions in the 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 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 in the exchange offer only after the exchange agent timely receives:

•: outstanding notes or a timely book-entry confirmation of such outstanding notes into the exchange agent's account at DTC; and
•: a properly completed and duly executed letter of transmittal and all other required documents or 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. In the case of outstanding notes tendered by book-entry transfer in the exchange agent's account at DTC according to the procedures described below, 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 exchange offer.

Your Representations to Us

By signing or 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 business;
•: you have no arrangement or understanding with any person or entity to participate in the distribution of the new notes;
•: 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 outstanding 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 of 1933.

Book-Entry Transfer

The exchange agent will establish an account with respect to the outstanding notes at DTC for purposes of the exchange offer promptly after the date of this prospectus. Any financial institution participating in DTC's system may make book-entry delivery of outstanding notes by causing DTC to transfer such outstanding notes into the exchange agent's account at DTC in accordance with DTC's procedures for transfer. Holders of outstanding notes who are unable to deliver confirmation of the book-entry tender of their outstanding notes into the exchange agent's account at DTC or all other documents required by the letter of transmittal to the exchange, agent on or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the expiration date must tender their outstanding notes according to the guaranteed delivery procedures described below.

Guaranteed Delivery Procedures

If you wish to tender your outstanding notes but your outstanding notes are not immediately available or you cannot deliver your outstanding notes, the letter of transmittal or any other required

documents to the exchange agent or comply with the applicable procedures under DTC's automated tender offer program prior to the expiration date, you may tender if:

•

the tender is made through a member firm of a registered national securities exchange or of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., a commercial bank or trust company having an office or correspondent in the United States, or an eligible guarantor institution;

•

prior to the expiration date, the exchange agent receives from such member firm of a registered national securities exchange or of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., commercial bank or trust company having an office or correspondent in the United States, or eligible guarantor institution either a properly completed and duly executed notice of guaranteed delivery by facsimile transmission, mail or hand delivery or a properly transmitted agent's message and notice of guaranteed delivery:

•: setting forth your name and address, the registered number(s) of your outstanding notes and the principal amount of outstanding notes tendered,
•: stating that the tender is being made thereby, and
•: guaranteeing that, within three (3) New York Stock Exchange trading days after the expiration date, the letter of transmittal or facsimile thereof, together with the outstanding notes or a book-entry confirmation, and any other documents required by the letter of transmittal will be deposited by the eligible guarantor institution with the exchange agent, and
•: the exchange agent receives such properly completed and executed letter of transmittal or facsimile thereof, as well as all tendered outstanding notes in proper form for transfer or a book-entry confirmation, and all other documents required by the letter of transmittal, within three (3) New York Stock Exchange trading days after the expiration date.

Upon request to the exchange agent, a notice of guaranteed delivery will be sent to you if you wish to tender your outstanding notes according to the guaranteed delivery procedures described above.

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:

•: the exchange agent must receive a written notice of withdrawal at the address indicated on the cover page of the letter of transmittal; or
•: you must comply with the appropriate procedures of DTC's automated tender offer program system.

Any notice of withdrawal must:

•: specify the name of the person who tendered the outstanding notes to be withdrawn; and
•: identify the outstanding notes to be withdrawn, including the principal amount of such withdrawn outstanding notes.

If outstanding notes have been tendered under the procedure for book-entry transfer described above, any notice of withdrawal must specify the name and 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 exchange offer.

Any outstanding notes that have been tendered for exchange but that are not exchanged for any reason will be returned to their holder without cost to the holder. In the case of outstanding notes tendered by book-entry transfer into the exchange agent's account at DTC according to the procedures described above, such outstanding notes 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 one of the procedures described under "—Procedures for Tendering" above at any time on or prior to the expiration date.

Fees and Expenses

We will bear the expenses of soliciting tenders. The principal solicitation is being made by mail; however, we may make additional solicitation by facsimile, telephone, electronic mail 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 offer and will not make any payments to broker-dealers or others soliciting acceptances of the exchange offer. 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:

•: all registration and filing fees and expenses;
•: all fees and expenses of compliance with federal securities and state "blue sky" or securities laws;
•: 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:

•: certificates representing outstanding notes for principal amounts not tendered or accepted for exchange are to be delivered to, or are to be issued in the name of, any person other than the registered holder of outstanding notes tendered;
•: tendered outstanding notes are registered in the name of any person other than the person signing the letter of transmittal; or
•: a transfer tax is imposed for any reason other than the exchange of outstanding notes in the exchange offer.

If satisfactory evidence of payment of any transfer taxes payable by a note holder is not submitted with the letter of transmittal, the amount of such transfer taxes will be billed directly to that tendering holder.

Consequences of Failure to Exchange

If you do not exchange new notes for your outstanding notes under the 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 they are registered under the Securities Act of 1933, or unless the offer or sale is exempt from the registration requirements under the Securities Act of 1933 and applicable state securities laws. Except as required by the registration rights agreement, we do not intend to register resales of the outstanding notes under the Securities Act of 1933.

Accounting Treatment

We will record the new notes in our accounting records at the same carrying value as the outstanding notes. 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 the exchange offer.

Other

Participation in the 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 offer or to file a registration statement to permit resales of any untendered outstanding notes.

DESCRIPTION OF THE NOTES

General

Our new notes will be issued under the same indenture pursuant to which we issued the outstanding notes. The indenture and the new notes contain the full legal text of the matters described in this section. The indenture and the new notes are governed by New York law. A copy of the indenture has been filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part and may be obtained from the trustee upon request.

The terms of the notes include those set forth in the indenture and those made a part of the indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939. The following description of the material provisions of the notes and the indenture is a summary only. Because this section is a summary, it does not describe every aspect of those documents. This summary is subject to and is qualified in its entirety by reference to all the provisions of those documents, including definitions of terms referenced in this prospectus.

If the exchange offer contemplated by this prospectus is consummated, the holders of the outstanding notes who do not exchange outstanding notes for new notes in the exchange offer will vote together as a single class with holders of new notes for all relevant purposes under the indenture. In determining whether holders of the requisite percentage in principal amount have given any notice, consent or wavier or taken any other action permitted under the indenture, any outstanding notes that remain outstanding after the exchange offer will be aggregated with the new notes.

You can find the definitions of certain terms used in this description under the caption "—Certain Definitions." In this description, the term "Company," "us," "our" or "we" refers only to Pacific Energy Partners, L.P. and not to any of its subsidiaries, the term "Finance Corp." refers to Pacific Energy Finance Corporation and the term "Issuers" refers to the Company and Finance Corp. References to the "notes" refer to both the new notes and the outstanding notes.

The registered Holder of a note will be treated as the owner of it for all purposes. Only registered Holders will have rights under the indenture.

Brief Description of the Notes and the Subsidiary Guarantees

The Notes. The notes:

•: are general unsecured obligations of the Issuers;
•: are equal in right of payment with all existing and future Senior Debt of either of the Issuers; and
•: are unconditionally guaranteed by the Guarantors on a senior unsecured basis.

The Subsidiary Guarantees. The notes are guaranteed by the Company's operating subsidiary, Pacific Energy Group LLC, which we call the "Operating Company" in this description, and by Pacific Marketing and Transportation LLC, Pacific Atlantic Terminals LLC, Rocky Mountain Pipeline System LLC, Ranch Pipeline System LLC, PEG Canada GP LLC and PEG Canada, L.P.

Each guarantee of the notes:

•: is a general unsecured obligation of the Guarantor; and
•: is equal in right of payment with all existing and future Senior Debt of that Guarantor.

As of September 30, 2005, we had:

•: total Senior Debt of approximately $534.4 million; and

•: no Indebtedness contractually subordinated to the notes.

As of September 30, 2005, the Guarantors had:

•: No Senior Debt outstanding, excluding the guarantees of $246.0 million of our 7¹/8% senior notes, $174.2 million of our 6¹/4% senior notes and $114.2 million under our New Credit Facility;
•: no Indebtedness contractually subordinated to their guarantees of the notes;

The indenture permits us and the Restricted Subsidiaries to incur additional Indebtedness, including additional Senior Debt.

Not all of our existing Restricted Subsidiaries guarantee the notes. Furthermore, under the circumstances described below under the caption "—Certain Covenants—Additional Subsidiary Guarantees," newly created or acquired Restricted Subsidiaries may not be required to guarantee the notes. In the event of a bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization of any of these non-guarantor subsidiaries, the non-guarantor subsidiaries will pay the holders of their debt and their other creditors before they will be able to distribute any of their assets to us.

In addition, the Company has invested, and may invest in the future, in Joint Ventures. The rights of the Company to receive assets from any Joint Venture that are attributable to the Company's Equity Interests therein (and thus the ability of the Holders to benefit indirectly from such assets) are structurally subordinated to the claims of all existing and future third-party indebtedness and liabilities (including trade credit) of such Joint Venture.

All of our subsidiaries are "Restricted Subsidiaries." However, under the circumstances described below under the caption "—Certain Covenants—Designation of Restricted and Unrestricted Subsidiaries," we will be permitted to designate certain of our subsidiaries as "Unrestricted Subsidiaries." Our Unrestricted Subsidiaries are not subject to many of the covenants in the indenture. Our Unrestricted Subsidiaries will not guarantee the notes.

Principal, Maturity and Interest

The Issuers issued the notes in an initial maximum aggregate principal amount of $175 million. The Issuers may issue an unlimited amount of additional notes from time to time after this exchange offer under the indenture. Any offering of additional notes is subject to the covenant described below under the caption "—Certain Covenants—Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Disqualified Stock." The notes and any additional notes subsequently issued under the indenture, together with any Exchange Notes, will be treated as a single class for all purposes under the indenture, including, without limitation, waivers, amendments, redemptions and offers to purchase. The Issuers will issue the notes in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000. The notes will mature on September 15, 2015.

Interest on the notes will accrue at a rate of 6¹/4% per annum and will be payable semi-annually in arrears on March 15 and September 15 of each year commencing on March 15, 2006. The Issuers will make each interest payment to the Holders of record on the immediately preceding March 1 and September 1.

Additional interest may accrue on the notes as liquidated damages in certain circumstances described below under "—Registration Rights; Additional Interest," and all references to "interest" in this description include any additional interest that may be payable on the notes. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months.

Ranking

The notes will be our general unsecured obligations, ranking equally with our 7¹/8% senior notes due 2014 and our other existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness. The notes and the guarantees will be effectively subordinated to all of our and our guarantor subsidiaries' existing and future secured indebtedness, including indebtedness under the New Credit Facility and to the indebtedness and other liabilities of our non-guarantor subsidiaries.

Methods of Receiving Payments on the Notes

If a Holder has given wire transfer instructions to the Company, the Company will pay all principal, interest and premium, if any, on that Holder's notes in accordance with those instructions. All other payments on notes will be made at the office or agency of the paying agent and registrar within the City and State of New York unless the Company elects to make interest payments by check mailed to the Holders at their address set forth in the register of Holders.

Paying Agent and Registrar for the Notes

The trustee will act as paying agent and registrar. The Company may change the paying agent or registrar without prior notice to the Holders, and the Company or any of its Domestic Subsidiaries may act as paying agent or registrar.

Transfer and Exchange

A Holder may transfer or exchange notes in accordance with the indenture. The registrar and the trustee may require a Holder to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents in connection with a transfer of notes. No service charge will be imposed by the Company, the trustee or the registrar for any registration of transfer or exchange of notes, but Holders will be required to pay all taxes due on transfer. The Company is not required to transfer or exchange any note selected for redemption. Also, the Company is not required to transfer or exchange any note for a period of 15 days before a selection of notes to be redeemed.

Subsidiary Guarantees

The Operating Company and several other of our wholly owned Subsidiaries, excluding Finance Corp., guarantee the notes on a senior unsecured basis. In the future, the Domestic Subsidiaries of the Company will be required to guarantee the notes under the circumstances described under "—Certain Covenants—Additional Subsidiary Guarantees." These Subsidiary Guarantees will be joint and several obligations of the Guarantors. The obligations of each Guarantor under its Subsidiary Guarantee will be limited as necessary to prevent that Subsidiary Guarantee from constituting a fraudulent conveyance under applicable law. See "Risk Factors—The subsidiary guarantees could be deemed fraudulent conveyances under certain circumstances, and a court may try to subordinate or void the subsidiary guarantees."

The Subsidiary Guarantee of a Guarantor will be released:

(1): in connection with any sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the properties or assets of that Guarantor (including by way of merger or consolidation) to a Person who is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company, if the sale or other disposition complies with the "Asset Sale" provisions of the indenture; or
(2): in connection with any sale or other disposition of all of the Capital Stock of that Guarantor to a Person who is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) a Restricted

Subsidiary of the Company, if the sale or other disposition complies with the "Asset Sale" provisions of the indenture; or

(3): if the Company designates any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Guarantor as an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with the applicable provisions of the indenture; or
(4): upon Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance as described below under the caption "—Legal Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance" or upon satisfaction and discharge of the indenture as described below under the caption "—Satisfaction and Discharge"; or
(5): in the case of any Guarantor other than the Operating Company, at such time as such Guarantor ceases to be required to guarantee any other Indebtedness of either of the Issuers and any Indebtedness of the Operating Company; or
(6): in the case of the Operating Company, at such time as the Operating Company ceases to guarantee any other Indebtedness of either of the Issuers, provided that it is then no longer an obligor with respect to any Indebtedness under any Credit Facility in excess of the De Minimis Guaranteed Amount.

Optional Redemption

At any time prior to September 15, 2008, the Issuers may on any one or more occasions redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of notes issued under the indenture at a redemption price of 106.25% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on an interest payment date that is on or prior to the redemption date), with the net cash proceeds of one or more Equity Offerings by the Company, provided that:

(1): at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of notes issued under the indenture remains outstanding immediately after the occurrence of such redemption (excluding notes held by the Company and its Subsidiaries); and
(2): the redemption occurs within 120 days of the date of the closing of such Equity Offering.

On and after September 15, 2010, the Issuers may redeem all or a part of the notes upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days' notice, at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount) set forth below, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the notes redeemed to the applicable redemption date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on an interest payment date that is on or prior to the redemption date), if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on September 15 of the years indicated below:

Year	Percentage
2010	103.125	%
2011	102.083	%
2012	101.042	%
2013 and thereafter	100.000	%

At any time prior to September 15, 2010, the Company may, at its option, redeem all or any portion of the notes at the Make-Whole Price plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption.

Selection and Notice

If less than all of the notes are to be redeemed at any time, the trustee will select notes for redemption as follows:

(1): if the notes are listed on any national securities exchange, in compliance with the requirements of the principal national securities exchange on which the notes are listed; or
(2): if the notes are not listed on any national securities exchange, on a pro rata basis.

No notes of $1,000 or less can be redeemed in part. Notices of redemption will be mailed by first class mail at least 30 but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder to be redeemed at its registered address, except that redemption notices may be mailed more than 60 days prior to a redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the notes or a satisfaction and discharge of the indenture. Notices of redemption may not be conditional.

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 that is to be redeemed. A new note in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the original note will be issued in the name of the Holder upon cancellation of the original note. Notes called for redemption become due on the date fixed for redemption. On and after the redemption date, interest ceases to accrue on notes or portions of them called for redemption.

Mandatory Redemption

Except as set forth below under the caption "—Repurchase at the Option of Holders," neither of the Issuers is required to make mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the notes or to repurchase the notes at the option of the Holders.

Repurchase at the Option of Holders

Change of Control

If a Change of Control occurs, each Holder will have the right to require the Company to repurchase all or any part (equal to $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000) of that Holder's notes pursuant to a Change of Control Offer on the terms set forth in the indenture. In the Change of Control Offer, the Company will offer a Change of Control Payment in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of notes outstanding plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the notes repurchased, to the date of purchase (the "Change of Control Purchase Date"), subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on an interest payment date that is on or prior to the Change of Control Purchase Date. Within 30 days following any Change of Control, the Company will mail a notice to each Holder and the Trustee describing the transaction or transactions that constitute the Change of Control and offering to repurchase notes as of the Change of Control Purchase Date specified in the notice, which date will be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed, pursuant to the procedures required by the indenture and described in such notice.

The Company will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the notes as a result of a Change of Control. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the Change of Control provisions of the indenture, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the Change of Control provisions of the indenture by virtue of such conflict.

On the Change of Control Purchase Date, the Company will, to the extent lawful, accept for payment all notes or portions of notes properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer. Promptly thereafter on the Change of Control Purchase Date, the Company will:

(1): deposit with the paying agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all notes or portions of notes properly tendered; and
(2): deliver or cause to be delivered to the trustee the notes properly accepted together with an officers' certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of notes or portions of notes being purchased by the Company.

On the Change of Control Purchase Date, the paying agent will mail to each Holder properly tendered the Change of Control Payment for such notes (or, if all the notes are then in global form, make such payment through the facilities of DTC), and the trustee will authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book entry) to each Holder a new note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the notes surrendered, if any; provided that each new note will be in a principal amount of $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000. The Company will publicly announce the results of the Change of Control Offer on or as soon as practicable after the Change of Control Payment Date.

Our New Credit Facility provides that certain change of control events with respect to the Company would constitute a default or require repayment of the Senior Debt outstanding thereunder. Any future credit agreements or other agreements relating to Senior Debt to which the Company or any Guarantor becomes a party may contain similar restrictions and provisions. Moreover, the exercise by the Holders of their right to require the Company to repurchase the notes could cause a default under the New Credit Facility, even if the Change of Control does not, due to the financial effect of such a repurchase on the Company. If a Change of Control occurs at a time when the Company is prohibited from purchasing notes or a default under the New Credit Facility would result therefrom, the Company could seek the consent to the purchase of notes or could attempt to refinance the facilities that contain such prohibition. If the Company does not obtain such consent or repay such borrowings, the Company would not be able to purchase the notes. In such case, the Company's failure to purchase tendered notes would constitute an Event of Default which would, in turn, in all likelihood constitute a default under the New Credit Facility. Finally, the Company's ability to pay cash to the holders upon a repurchase may be limited by the Company's and its Restricted Subsidiaries' then existing financial resources. We cannot assure you that sufficient funds will be available when necessary to make any required repurchases.

The provisions described above that require the Company to make a Change of Control Offer following a Change of Control will be applicable whether or not any other provisions of the indenture are applicable. Except as described above with respect to a Change of Control, the indenture does not contain provisions that permit the Holders of the notes to require that the Company repurchase or redeem the notes in the event of a recapitalization or similar transaction.

The Company will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control if a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the time and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in the indenture applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Company and purchases all notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under the Change of Control Offer.

The definition of Change of Control includes a phrase relating to the direct or indirect sale, lease, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of "all or substantially all" of the properties or assets of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries taken as a whole. Although there is a limited body of case law interpreting the phrase "substantially all," there is no precise established definition of the phrase under applicable law. Accordingly, the ability of a Holder to require the Company to repurchase its notes as a

result of a sale, lease, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of less than all of the assets of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries taken as a whole to another Person or group may be uncertain.

Asset Sales

The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, consummate an Asset Sale unless:

(1)

the Company (or the Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be) receives consideration at the time of the Asset Sale at least equal to the fair market value of the assets or Equity Interests issued or sold or otherwise disposed of;

(2)

the fair market value is determined by (a) an executive officer of the General Partner if the value is less than $20.0 million and evidenced by an officer's certificate delivered to the trustee, or (b) the General Partner's Board of Directors if the value is $20.0 million or more and evidenced by a resolution of the Board of Directors set forth in an officer's certificate delivered to the trustee; and

(3)

at least 75% of the consideration received in the Asset Sale by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary is in the form of cash or Cash Equivalents. For purposes of this provision, each of the following will be deemed to be cash:

(a): any liabilities, as shown on the Company's or such Restricted Subsidiary's most recent balance sheet, of the Company or any Subsidiary (other than contingent liabilities and liabilities that are by their terms subordinated to the notes or any Subsidiary Guarantee) that are assumed by the transferee of any such assets pursuant to an agreement that releases the Company or such Subsidiary from further liability; and
(b): any securities, notes or other obligations received by the Company or any such Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee that are, within 365 days after the Asset Sale, converted by the Company or such Subsidiary into cash, to the extent of the cash received in that conversion.

Within 365 days after the receipt of any Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale, the Company or any such Restricted Subsidiary may apply (or enter into a definitive agreement for such application within such 365-day period, provided that such Net Proceeds are in fact applied within 45 days after the end of such 365-day period) those Net Proceeds at its option to any combination of the following:

(1): to repay Senior Debt;
(2): to acquire all or substantially all of the properties or assets of a Person primarily engaged in a Permitted Business;
(3): to acquire a majority of the Voting Stock of a Person primarily engaged in a Permitted Business;
(4): to make capital expenditures; or
(5): to acquire other assets that are used or useful in a Permitted Business or make any Permitted Business Investment to the extent permitted by the covenant "Restricted Payments."

Pending the final application of any Net Proceeds, the Company or any such Restricted Subsidiary may temporarily reduce revolving credit borrowings or otherwise invest the Net Proceeds in any manner that is not prohibited by the indenture. Any Net Proceeds from Asset Sales that are not applied or invested as provided in the preceding paragraph will constitute "Excess Proceeds."

On the 366th day after the Asset Sale (or, at the Company's option, any earlier date), if the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds then exceeds $30.0 million, the Company will make an offer (an "Asset Sale Offer") to all Holders, and all holders of other Indebtedness that is pari passu with the notes containing provisions similar to those set forth in the indenture with respect to offers to purchase or redeem with the proceeds of sales of assets, to purchase the maximum principal amount of notes and such other pari passu Indebtedness that may be purchased out of the Excess Proceeds. The offer price in any Asset Sale Offer will be equal to 100% of principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of settlement, subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on an interest payment date that is on or prior to the date of settlement, and will be payable in cash. If any Excess Proceeds remain after consummation of an Asset Sale Offer, the Company may use those Excess Proceeds for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by the indenture, including, without limitation, the repurchase or redemption of Indebtedness that is subordinated to the notes or, in the case of any Subsidiary Guarantee, the guarantee of such Guarantor. If the aggregate principal amount of notes and other pari passu Indebtedness tendered in such Asset Sale Offer exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the trustee will select the notes and such other pari passu Indebtedness to be purchased on a pro rata basis. Upon completion of each Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds will be reset at zero.

The Company will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with each repurchase of notes pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the Asset Sale provisions of the indenture, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the Asset Sale provisions of the indenture by virtue of such conflict.

Certain Covenants

Restricted Payments

The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly:

(1): declare or pay any dividend or make any other payment or distribution on account of the Company's or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries' Equity Interests or to the direct or indirect holders of the Company's or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries' Equity Interests in their capacity as such (other than dividends or distributions payable in Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Stock) of the Company or payable to the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company);
(2): purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire or retire for value (including, without limitation, in connection with any merger or consolidation involving the Company) any Equity Interests of the Company or any direct or indirect parent of the Company;
(3): make any payment on or with respect to, or purchase, redeem, defease or otherwise acquire or retire for value, any Indebtedness that is subordinated to the notes or the Subsidiary Guarantors, except a payment of interest or principal within one month of the Stated Maturity thereof; or
(4): make any Restricted Investment (all such payments and other actions set forth in these clauses (1) through (4) above being collectively referred to as "Restricted Payments"),

unless, at the time of and after giving effect to such Restricted Payment, no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would occur as a consequence of such Restricted Payment and either:

(1)

if the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for the Company's most recently ended four full fiscal quarters for which internal financial statements are available at the time of such Restricted Payment is not less than 1.75 to 1.0, such Restricted Payment, together with the aggregate amount of all other Restricted Payments made by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries (excluding Restricted Payments permitted by clauses (2), (3), (4) and (5) of the next succeeding paragraph) with respect to the quarter for which such Restricted Payment is made, is less than the sum, without duplication, of:

(a): Available Cash from Operating Surplus with respect to the Company's preceding fiscal quarter, plus
(b): 100% of the aggregate net cash proceeds received by the Company (including the fair market value of any Permitted Business or long-term assets that are used or useful in a Permitted Business to the extent acquired in consideration of Equity Interests of the Company (other than Disqualified Stock)) since June 16, 2004 as a contribution to its common equity capital or from the issue or sale of Equity Interests of the Company (other than Disqualified Stock) or from the issue or sale of convertible or exchangeable Disqualified Stock or convertible or exchangeable debt securities of the Company that have been converted into or exchanged for such Equity Interests (other than Equity Interests (or Disqualified Stock or debt securities) sold to a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company), plus
(c): to the extent that any Restricted Investment that was made after June 16, 2004 is sold for cash or Cash Equivalent or otherwise liquidated or repaid for cash or Cash Equivalent, the lesser of (i) the return of capital with respect to such Restricted Investment (less the cost of disposition, if any) and (ii) the initial amount of such Restricted Investment, plus
(d): the net reduction in Restricted Investments resulting from dividends, repayments of loans or advances, or other transfers of assets in each case to the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries from any Person (including, without limitation, Unrestricted Subsidiaries) or from redesignations of Unrestricted Subsidiaries as Restricted Subsidiaries, to the extent such amounts have not been included in Available Cash from Operating Surplus for any period commencing on or after June 16, 2004 (items (b), (c) and (d) being referred to as "Incremental Funds"), minus
(e): the aggregate amount of Incremental Funds previously expended pursuant to this clause (1) and clause (2) below; or

(2)

if the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for the Company's most recently ended four full fiscal quarters for which internal financial statements are available at the time of such Restricted Payment is less than 1.75 to 1.00, such Restricted Payment, together with the aggregate amount of all other Restricted Payments made by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries (excluding Restricted Payments permitted by clauses (2), (3) and (4) and (5) of the next succeeding paragraph) with respect to the quarter for which such Restricted Payment is made (such Restricted Payments for purposes of this clause (2) meaning only distributions on limited partnership interests of the Company, plus the related distribution on the general partner interest), is less than the sum, without duplication, of:

(a): $100 million less the aggregate amount of all Restricted Payments made by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries pursuant to this clause (2)(a) during the period ending on

the last day of the fiscal quarter immediately preceding the date of such Restricted Payment and beginning on June 16, 2004, plus

(b): Incremental Funds to the extent not previously expended pursuant to this clause (2) or clause (1) above.

So long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would be caused thereby (except (i) with respect to clause (1) below under which the payment of a distribution or dividend is permitted, and (ii) a dividend or distribution by a non-Guarantor Subsidiary under clause (4)), the preceding provisions will not prohibit:

(1): the payment of any dividend or distribution within 60 days after the date of its declaration, if at the date of declaration the payment would have complied with the provisions of the indenture;
(2): the redemption, repurchase, retirement, defeasance or other acquisition of any subordinated Indebtedness of the Company or any Guarantor or of any Equity Interests of the Company in exchange for, or out of the net cash proceeds of the substantially concurrent (a) contribution (other than from a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company) to the equity capital of the Company or (b) sale (other than to a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company) of, Equity Interests of the Company (other than Disqualified Stock), with a sale being deemed substantially concurrent if such redemption, repurchase, retirement, defeasance or acquisition occurs not more than 120 days after such sale; provided that the amount of any such net cash proceeds that are utilized for any such redemption, repurchase, retirement, defeasance or other acquisition will be excluded or deducted from the calculation of Available Cash from Operating Surplus and Incremental Funds;
(3): the defeasance, redemption, repurchase, retirement or other acquisition of subordinated Indebtedness of the Company or any Guarantor with the net cash proceeds from an incurrence of, or in exchange for, Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness;
(4): the payment of any dividend or distribution by a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company to the holders of its Equity Interests on a pro rata basis; or
(5): the repurchase, redemption or other acquisition or retirement for value of any Equity Interests of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company held by any current or former director or employee of the General Partner, the Company or any of the Company's Restricted Subsidiaries pursuant to any director or employee equity subscription agreement or plan, stock or unit option agreement or similar agreement or plan; provided that the aggregate price paid for all such repurchased, redeemed, acquired or retired Equity Interests may not exceed $3.0 million in any twelve-month period.

The amount of all Restricted Payments (other than cash) will be the fair market value on the date of the Restricted Payment of the asset(s) or securities proposed to be transferred or issued by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, pursuant to the Restricted Payment. The fair market value of any assets or securities that are required to be valued by this covenant will be determined, in the case of amounts under $15.0 million, by an officer of the General Partner and, in the case of amounts over $15.0 million, by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be evidenced by a Board Resolution. For purposes of determining compliance with this "Restricted Payments" covenant, in the event that a Restricted Payment meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of Restricted Payments described in the preceding clauses (1) through (5), the Company will be permitted to classify (or later classify or reclassify in whole or in part in its sole discretion) such Restricted Payment in any manner that complies with this covenant.

Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Disqualified Stock

The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, issue, assume, guarantee or otherwise become directly or indirectly liable, contingently or otherwise, with respect to (collectively, "incur") any Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt), and the Company will not issue any Disqualified Stock, the Company will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to issue any Disqualified Stock and the Company will not permit any of its other Restricted Subsidiaries to issue any preferred securities; provided, however, that the Issuers and any Restricted Subsidiaries may incur Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt) or issue Disqualified Stock, if the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for the Company's most recently ended four full fiscal quarters for which internal financial statements are available immediately preceding the date on which such additional Indebtedness is incurred or such Disqualified Stock is issued would have been at least 2.0 to 1.0, determined on a pro forma basis (including a pro forma application of the net proceeds therefrom), as if the additional Indebtedness had been incurred or Disqualified Stock had been issued, as the case may be, at the beginning of such four-quarter period.

The first paragraph of this covenant will not prohibit the incurrence of any of the following items of Indebtedness (collectively, "Permitted Debt"):

(1)

the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of additional Indebtedness (including letters of credit) under one or more Credit Facilities in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding under this clause (1) (with letters of credit being deemed to have a principal amount equal to the maximum potential liability of the Company and its Subsidiaries thereunder) not to exceed the greater of $325.0 million and 15% of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets;

(2)

the incurrence by the Company and the Guarantors of Indebtedness represented by the notes issued and sold and the related Subsidiary Guarantees to be issued on the date of the indenture and the Exchange Notes and the related Subsidiary Guarantees issued pursuant to any registration rights agreement;

(3)

the existing aggregate principal amount $250.0 million 7¹/8% senior notes due 2014 issued by the Issuers and any associated guarantees;

(4)

the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness represented by Capital Lease Obligations, mortgage financings or purchase money obligations, in each case, incurred for the purpose of financing all or any part of the purchase price or cost of construction or improvement of property, plant or equipment used in the business of the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, in an aggregate principal amount, including all Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness incurred to refund, refinance or replace any Indebtedness incurred pursuant to this clause (4), not to exceed $30.0 million at any time outstanding;

(5)

the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness in exchange for, or the net proceeds of which are used to refund, refinance or replace Indebtedness that was permitted by the indenture to be incurred under the first paragraph of this covenant or clause (2) or (3) of this paragraph or this clause (5);

(6)

the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of intercompany Indebtedness between or among the Company and any of its Restricted Subsidiaries; provided, however, that:

(a): if the Company is the obligor on such Indebtedness and a Guarantor is not the obligee, such Indebtedness must be expressly subordinated to the prior payment in full in cash of all Obligations with respect to the notes, or if a Guarantor is the obligor on such Indebtedness and neither the Company nor another Guarantor is the obligee, such

Indebtedness must be expressly subordinated to the prior payment in full in cash of all Obligations with respect to the Subsidiary Guarantee of such Guarantor; and

(b): (i) any subsequent issuance or transfer of Equity Interests that results in any such Indebtedness being held by a Person other than the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company and (ii) any sale or other transfer of any such Indebtedness to a Person who is neither the Company, nor a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company, nor a creditor to secure Indebtedness incurred either pursuant to the first paragraph of this covenant or to secure Permitted Debt, will be deemed, in each case, to constitute an incurrence of such Indebtedness by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, that was not permitted by this clause (6);

(7): the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Hedging Obligations;
(8): the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Acquired Debt in connection with a merger or consolidation meeting any one of the financial tests set forth in clause (3) under the caption "—Certain Covenants—Merger, Consolidation or Sale of Assets";
(9): the guarantee by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that was permitted to be incurred by another provision of this covenant;
(10): the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness in respect of bid, performance, surety and similar bonds issued for the account of the Company and any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business, including guarantees and obligations of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries with respect to letters of credit supporting such obligations (in each case other than an obligation for money borrowed); and
(11): the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of additional Indebtedness in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding, not to exceed the greater of $45.0 million and 3% of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets.

For purposes of determining compliance with this covenant, (a) in the event that an item of Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt) meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of Permitted Debt described in clauses (1) through (11) above, or is entitled to be incurred pursuant to the first paragraph of this covenant, the Company will be permitted to classify (or later classify or reclassify in whole or in part in its sole discretion) such item of Indebtedness in any manner that complies with this covenant; and (b) Indebtedness outstanding in currencies other than U.S. dollars shall be converted on the date of incurrence.

The accrual of interest, the accretion or amortization of original issue discount, the payment of interest on any Indebtedness in the form of additional Indebtedness with the same terms, and the payment of dividends on Disqualified Stock in the form of additional shares of the same class of Disqualified Stock will not be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness or an issuance of Disqualified Stock for purposes of this covenant.

Liens

The Company will not and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, create, incur, assume or otherwise cause or suffer to exist or become effective any Lien of any kind (other than Permitted Liens) securing Indebtedness or Attributable Debt upon any of their property or assets, now owned or hereafter acquired, unless the notes or any Subsidiary Guarantee of such Restricted Subsidiary, as applicable, is secured on an equal and ratable basis (or on a senior basis to, in the case of obligations subordinated in right of payment to the notes or such Subsidiary Guarantee, as the case may be) with the obligations so secured until such time as such obligations are no longer secured by a Lien (other than Permitted Liens).

Dividend and Other Payment Restrictions Affecting Subsidiaries

The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create or permit to exist or become effective any consensual encumbrance or restriction on the ability of any Restricted Subsidiary to:

(1): pay dividends or make any other distributions on its Capital Stock to the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, or pay any Indebtedness or other obligations owed to the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries;
(2): make loans or advances to the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries; or
(3): transfer any of its properties or assets to the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries.

However, the preceding restrictions will not apply to encumbrances or restrictions existing under or by reason of:

(1): agreements as in effect since June 16, 2004, including the Credit Agreement, and the indenture governing the Issuers' $250.0 million 7¹/8% senior notes due 2014, any amendments, modifications, restatements, renewals, increases, supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings of those agreements or the Indebtedness to which they relate, provided that the amendments, modifications, restatements, renewals, increases, supplements, refundings, replacement or refinancings are no more restrictive, taken as a whole, with respect to such dividend, distribution and other payment restrictions than those contained in those agreements on the date of the indenture;
(2): the indenture, the notes and the Subsidiary Guarantees;
(3): applicable law;
(4): any instrument governing Indebtedness or Equity Interest of a Person acquired by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries as in effect at the time of such acquisition, which encumbrance or restriction is not applicable to any Person or its Subsidiaries, or the properties or assets of any Person, other than the Person or its Subsidiaries, or the property or assets of the Person its Subsidiaries, so acquired, provided that, in the case of Indebtedness, such Indebtedness was permitted by the terms of the indenture to be incurred;
(5): customary non-assignment provisions in transportation agreements or purchase and sale or exchange agreements or similar operational agreements or in licenses or leases, in each case entered into in the ordinary course of business;
(6): Capital Lease Obligations, mortgage financings or purchase money obligations, in each case for property acquired in the ordinary course of business that impose restrictions on that property of the nature described in clause (3) of the preceding paragraph;
(7): any agreement for the sale or other disposition of a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company that restricts distributions by that Restricted Subsidiary pending its sale or other disposition;
(8): Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness, provided that the restrictions contained in the agreements governing such Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness are no more restrictive, taken as a whole, than those contained in the agreements governing the Indebtedness being refinanced;
(9): Liens securing Indebtedness otherwise permitted to be incurred under the provisions of the covenant described above under the caption "—Liens" that limit the right of the debtor to dispose of the assets subject to such Liens;

(10): provisions with respect to the disposition or distribution of assets or property in joint venture agreements, asset sale agreements, stock sale agreements and other similar agreements entered into in the ordinary course of business;
(11): any agreement or instrument relating to any property or assets acquired after the date of the indenture, so long as such encumbrance or restriction relates only to the property or assets so acquired and is not and was not created in anticipation of such acquisitions;
(12): restrictions on cash or other deposits or net worth imposed by customers under contracts entered into in the ordinary course of business;
(13): any agreement or instrument governing Indebtedness permitted to be incurred under the indenture, provided that the terms and conditions of any such restrictions and encumbrances, taken as a whole, are not materially more restrictive than those contained in the indenture, taken as a whole; and
(14): provisions with respect to the disposition or distribution of assets or property in joint venture agreements and other similar agreements, including clawback, "make-well" or "keep-well" agreements, to maintain financial performance or results of operations of a joint venture entered into in the ordinary course of business.

Merger, Consolidation or Sale of Assets

Neither of the Issuers will consolidate or merge with or into any Person, or sell, convey, lease or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets to any Person, unless:

(1)

the Person formed by or surviving such consolidation or merger (if other than such Issuer), or to which such sale, lease, conveyance or other disposition shall be made (collectively, the "Successor"), is a corporation, limited liability company or limited partnership organized and existing under the laws of the United States or any state thereof or the District of Columbia, or Canada or any province thereof, and the Successor assumes by supplemental indenture in a form satisfactory to the Trustee all of the obligations of the Company under the Indenture and under the Notes; provided, that Finance Corp. may not merge or consolidate with or into a Person other than a corporation satisfying such requirement so long as the Company is not a corporation;

(2)

immediately before and after giving effect to such transaction, no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; and

(3)

either:

(a): immediately after giving effect to such transaction on a pro forma basis and any related financing transactions as if the same had occurred at the beginning of the applicable fourth quarter period, the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio is equal to or greater than the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio immediately before such transaction;
(b): immediately after giving effect to such transaction on a pro forma basis, the Company (or the Successor) would be able to incur $1.00 of additional Indebtedness (other than Permitted Indebtedness) pursuant to the first paragraph of the covenant captioned "—Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Disqualified Stock"; or
(c): immediately after giving effect to such transaction on a pro forma basis, the Consolidated Net Worth of the Company (or the Successor) shall not be less than the Consolidated Net Worth of the Company immediately prior to such transaction.

Notwithstanding the preceding paragraph, the Issuers are permitted to reorganize as any other form of entity in accordance with the following procedures, provided that:

(1): the reorganization involves the conversion (by merger, sale, contribution or exchange of assets or otherwise) into a form of entity other than a limited partnership formed under Delaware law;
(2): the entity so formed by or resulting from such reorganization is an entity organized or existing under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia;
(3): the entity so formed by or resulting from such reorganization assumes all the obligations of the Company under the notes, the indenture and the registration rights agreement pursuant to agreements reasonably satisfactory to the trustee;
(4): immediately after such reorganization no Default or Event of Default exists; and
(5): such reorganization is not materially adverse to the Holders or Beneficial Owners of the notes (for purposes of this clause (5) a reorganization will not be considered materially adverse to the Holders or Beneficial Owners of the notes solely because the successor or survivor of such reorganization (a) is subject to federal or state income taxation as an entity or (b) is considered to be an "includable corporation" of an affiliated group of corporations with the meaning of Section 1504(b)(i) of the Code or any similar state or local law).

A Guarantor may not sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its properties or assets to, or consolidate with or merge with or into (whether or not such Guarantor is the surviving Person), another Person, other than the Company or another Guarantor, unless:

(1)

immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Default or Event of Default exists; and

(2)

either:

(a): the Person acquiring the properties or assets in any such sale or other disposition or the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than the Company or the Guarantor) unconditionally assumes all the obligations of that Guarantor, pursuant to a supplemental indenture substantially in the form specified in the indenture, under the notes, the indenture and its Subsidiary Guarantee on terms set forth therein; or
(b): the Net Proceeds of such sale or other disposition are applied in accordance with the "Asset Sale" provisions of the indenture.

Although there is a limited body of case law interpreting the phrase "substantially all," there is no precise established definition of the phrase under applicable law. Accordingly, in certain circumstances there may be a degree of uncertainty as to whether a particular transaction would involve "all or substantially all" of the properties or assets of a Person.

Transactions with Affiliates

The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, make any payment to, or sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of its properties or assets to, or purchase any property or assets from, or enter into or make or amend any transaction, contract, agreement, understanding, loan, advance or guarantee with, or for the benefit of, any Affiliate (each, an "Affiliate Transaction"), unless:

(1): the Affiliate Transaction is on terms that are no less favorable to the Company or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary than those that would have been obtained in a comparable transaction by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary with an unrelated Person or, if there is no such

comparable transaction, on terms that are fair and reasonable to the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary; and

(2)

the Company delivers to the trustee:

(a): with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate consideration in excess of $20.0 million, a resolution of the Board of Directors set forth in an officers' certificate certifying that such Affiliate Transaction complies with this covenant and that such Affiliate Transaction has been approved by a majority of the disinterested members of the Board of Directors; and
(b): with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate consideration in excess of $75.0 million, a written opinion as to the fairness to the Holders of such Affiliate Transaction from a financial point of view issued by an accounting, appraisal or investment banking firm of national standing.

The following items will not be deemed to be Affiliate Transactions and, therefore, will not be subject to the provisions of the prior paragraph:

(1): any employment, equity award, equity option or equity appreciation agreement or plan entered into by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or the General Partner in the ordinary course of business;
(2): transactions between or among any of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries;
(3): transactions with a Person that is an Affiliate of the Company solely because the Company owns an Equity Interest in such Person;
(4): transactions effected in accordance with the terms of agreements disclosed in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004 (including the exhibits thereto) that are also identified in the indenture, in each case as such agreements are in effect on the date of the indenture, and any amendment or replacement of any of such agreements so long as such amendment or replacement agreement is no less advantageous to the Company in any material respect than the agreement so amended or replaced;
(5): customary compensation, indemnification and other benefits made available to officers, directors or employees of the Company, a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company or the General Partner, including reimbursement or advancement of out-of-pocket expenses and provisions of officers' and directors' liability insurance;
(6): the provision by Persons who may be deemed Affiliates of holders of Equity Interests of the Company, of commercial banking, trust, lending or financing, investment, financial advisory or similar services, to the Company or its Restricted Subsidiaries, on customary terms;
(7): sales of any securities to Affiliates of the Company provided that the syndicate involved in such sale of securities includes an unaffiliated investment bank of national standing;
(8): in the case of gathering, transportation, marketing, hedging, production handling, operating, construction, storage, platform use, or other operational contracts, any such contracts are entered into in the ordinary course of business on terms substantially similar to those contained in similar contracts entered into by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary and third parties or, if neither the Company nor any Restricted Subsidiary has entered into a similar contract with a third party, that the terms are no less favorable than those available from third parties on an arm's-length basis, as determined by the Board of Directors; and
(9): Restricted Payments that are permitted by the provisions of the indenture described above under the caption "—Restricted Payments."

Designation of Restricted and Unrestricted Subsidiaries

The Board of Directors may designate any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary if that designation would not cause a Default. If a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company is designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, the aggregate fair market value of all outstanding Investments owned by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries in the Subsidiary properly designated will be deemed to be an Investment made as of the time of the designation and will reduce the amount available for Restricted Payments under the first paragraph of the covenant described above under the caption "—Restricted Payments" or represent Permitted Investments, as determined by the Company; provided that any designation of a Restricted Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary will only be permitted if the Investment would be permitted at that time and if the Subsidiary so designated otherwise meets the definition of an Unrestricted Subsidiary.

The Board of Directors may at any time designate any Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a Restricted Subsidiary; provided that such designation will be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness by a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company of any outstanding Indebtedness of such Unrestricted Subsidiary and such designation will only be permitted if (1) such Indebtedness is permitted under the covenant described above under the caption "—Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Disqualified Stock," calculated on a pro forma basis as if such designation had occurred at the beginning of the four-quarter reference period, and (2) no Default or Event of Default would be in existence following such designation.

Additional Subsidiary Guarantees

If, after the date of the indenture, any Domestic Subsidiary of the Company that is not already a Guarantor (including, without limitation, any Domestic Subsidiary acquired or created after the date of the indenture) guarantees any other Indebtedness in excess of a De Minimis Guaranteed Amount of either of the Issuers or any Indebtedness of the Operating Company or a Subsidiary Guarantor, or the Operating Company, if not then a Guarantor, guarantees any other Indebtedness of either of the Issuers or a Subsidiary Guarantor in excess of a De Minimis Guaranteed Amount or incurs any Indebtedness under any Credit Facility in excess of a De Minimis Guaranteed Amount, then in either case that Subsidiary will become a Guarantor by executing a supplemental indenture and delivering it to the trustee within 180 days of the date on which it guaranteed or incurred such Indebtedness in excess of a De Minimis Guaranteed Amount, as the case may be. Notwithstanding the preceding, any guarantee of a Restricted Subsidiary that was incurred pursuant to this paragraph as a result of a guarantee of any other Indebtedness in excess of a De Minimis Guaranteed Amount shall provide by its terms that it shall be automatically and unconditionally released upon the release or discharge of the guarantee that resulted in the creation of such Restricted Subsidiary's guarantee, except a discharge or release by, or as a result of payment under, such guarantee.

Sale and Leaseback Transactions

The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, enter into any sale and leaseback transaction; provided that the Company or any Guarantor may enter into a sale and leaseback transaction if:

(1): the Company or that Guarantor, as applicable, could have (a) incurred Indebtedness in an amount equal to the Attributable Debt relating to such sale and leaseback transaction under the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio test in the first paragraph of the covenant described above under the caption "—Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Disqualified Stock" and (b) incurred a Lien to secure such Indebtedness pursuant to the covenant described above under the caption "—Liens";

(2): the gross cash proceeds of that sale and leaseback transaction are at least equal to the fair market value, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors and set forth in an officers' certificate delivered to the trustee, of the property that is the subject of that sale and leaseback transaction; and
(3): the transfer of assets in that sale and leaseback transaction is permitted by, and the Company applies the proceeds of such transaction in compliance with, the covenant described above under the caption "—Repurchase at the Option of Holders—Asset Sales."

Business Activities

The Company will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, engage in any business other than a Permitted Business, except to such extent as would not be material to the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries taken as a whole.

Finance Corp. may not incur Indebtedness unless (1) the Company is a co-obligor or guarantor of such Indebtedness or (2) the net proceeds of such Indebtedness are loaned to the Company, used to acquire outstanding debt securities issued by the Company or used to repay Indebtedness of the Company as permitted under the covenant described about under the caption "—Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Disqualified Stock." Finance Corp. may not engage in any business not related directly or indirectly to obtaining money or arranging financing for the Company or its Restricted Subsidiaries.

Reports

Whether or not required by the Commission, so long as any notes are outstanding, the Company will file with the Commission for public availability within the time periods specified in the Commission's rules and regulations (unless the Commission will not accept such a filing), and the Company will furnish to the trustee and, upon its prior request, to any of the Holders or Beneficial Owners of notes, within five Business Days of filing, or attempting to file, the same with the Commission:

(1): all quarterly and annual financial and other information with respect to the Company and its Subsidiaries that would be required to be contained in a filing with the Commission on Forms 10-Q and 10-K if the Company were required to file such Forms, including a "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and, with respect to the annual information only, a report on the annual financial statements by the Company's certified independent accountants; and
(2): all current reports that would be required to be filed with the Commission on Form 8-K if the Company were required to file such reports.

If the Company has designated any of its Subsidiaries as Unrestricted Subsidiaries, and if the aggregate cash flow of such Unrestricted Subsidiaries constitute more that 10% of the cash flow of the Company on a consolidated basis, then the quarterly and annual financial information required by the preceding paragraph will include a reasonably detailed presentation, either on the face of the financial statements or in the footnotes thereto, and in Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, of the financial condition and results of operations of the Company and Restricted Subsidiaries, separate from the financial condition and results of operations of the Unrestricted Subsidiaries of the Company.

In addition, the Company and the Guarantors have agreed that, for so long as any notes remain outstanding, they will furnish to the Holders and Beneficial Owners of the notes and to securities analysts and prospective investors in the notes, upon their request, the information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act.

Covenant Termination

If at any time (a) the rating assigned to the notes by at least two of S&P, Moody's or Fitch is an Investment Grade Rating and (b) no Default has occurred and is continuing under the indenture, the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries will no longer be subject to the provisions of the indenture described above under the caption "Repurchase at the Option of Holders—Asset Sales" and the following provisions of the indenture described above under the caption "—Certain Covenants":

•: "—Restricted Payments,"
•: "—Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Disqualified Stock,"
•: "—Dividend and Other Payment Restrictions Affecting Subsidiaries,"
•: "—Transactions with Affiliates,"
•: "—Designation of Restricted and Unrestricted Subsidiaries," and
•: "—Business Activities."

However, the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries will remain subject to the provisions of the indenture described above under the caption "Repurchase at the Option of Holders—Change of Control," and the following provisions of the indenture described above under the caption "—Covenants":

•: "—Liens,"
•: "—Merger, Consolidation or Sale of Assets" (other than the financial tests set forth in clause (3) of such covenant),"
•: "—Additional Subsidiary Guarantees,"
•: "—Sale and Leaseback Transactions" (other than the financial test set forth in clause (1)(a) and the asset sale provisions in clauses (2) and (3) of such covenant), and
•: "—Reports."

Events of Default and Remedies

Each of the following is an Event of Default:

(1)

default for 30 days in the payment when due of interest on the notes;

(2)

default in payment when due of the principal of, or premium, if any, on the notes;

(3)

failure by the Company to comply with the provisions described under the captions "—Repurchase at the Option of Holders—Change of Control" or "—Certain Covenants—Merger, Consolidation or Sale of Assets;"

(4)

failure by the Company for 60 days after written notice to comply with any of the other agreements in the indenture;

(5)

default under any mortgage, indenture or instrument under which there may be issued or by which there may be secured or evidenced any Indebtedness for money borrowed by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (or the payment of which is guaranteed by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries), whether such Indebtedness or guarantee now exists, or is created after the date of the indenture, if that default:

(a): is caused by a failure to pay principal of, or interest or premium, if any, on such Indebtedness prior to the expiration of the grace period provided in such Indebtedness (a "Payment Default"); or

(b): results in the acceleration of such Indebtedness prior to its Stated Maturity,

and, in each case, the principal amount of any such Indebtedness, together with the principal amount of any other such Indebtedness under which there has been a Payment Default or the maturity of which has been so accelerated, aggregates $30.0 million or more; provided that if any such default is cured or waived or any such acceleration rescinded, or such Indebtedness 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;

(1): failure by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to pay final judgments aggregating in excess of $30.0 million, which judgments are not paid, discharged or stayed for a period of 60 days;
(2): except as permitted by the indenture, any Subsidiary Guarantee shall be held in any judicial proceeding to be unenforceable or invalid or shall cease for any reason to be in full force and effect or any Guarantor, or any Person acting on behalf of any Guarantor, shall deny or disaffirm its obligations under its Subsidiary Guarantee; and
(3): certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization described in the indenture with respect to Finance Corp., the Company or any of the Company's Restricted Subsidiaries that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of its Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken as a whole, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary of the Company.

In the case of an Event of Default arising from certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization, with respect to Finance Corp., the Company, any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of its Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary of the Company, all outstanding notes will become due and payable immediately without further action or notice. If any other Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding notes may declare all the notes to be due and payable immediately.

Holders of the notes may not enforce the indenture or the notes except as provided in the indenture. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding notes may direct the trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The trustee may withhold notice of any continuing Default or Event of Default from Holders of the notes if it determines that withholding notice is in their interest, except a Default or Event of Default relating to the payment of principal of, or interest or premium, if any, on, the notes.

The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the notes then outstanding by written notice to the trustee may on behalf of the Holders of all of the notes waive any existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences under the indenture except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal of, or interest or premium, if any, on the notes.

The Issuers and the Guarantors are required to deliver to the trustee annually a statement regarding compliance with the indenture. Upon any officer of the General Partner or Finance Corp. becoming aware of any Default or Event of Default, the Issuers are required to deliver to the trustee a statement specifying such Default or Event of Default.

No Personal Liability of Directors, Officers, Employees and Unitholders

No past, present or future director, officer, partner, member, employee, incorporator, manager or unitholder or other owner of Equity Interest of the Issuers, the General Partner, or any Guarantor, as such, will have any liability for any obligations of the Issuers or any Guarantor under the notes, the

indenture or the Subsidiary Guarantees, or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder by accepting a note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the notes. The waiver may not be effective to waive liabilities under the federal securities laws.

Legal Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance

The Issuers may, at their option and at any time, elect to have all of their obligations discharged with respect to the notes and the indenture and all obligations of the Guarantors discharged with respect to their Subsidiary Guarantees ("Legal Defeasance"), except for:

(1): the rights of Holders to receive payments in respect of the principal of, and interest or premium, if any, on such notes when such payments are due from the trust referred to below;
(2): the Issuers' obligations with respect to the notes concerning issuing temporary notes, registration of notes, replacement of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen notes and the maintenance of an office or agency for payment and money for security payments held in trust;
(3): the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the trustee and the Issuers' obligations in connection therewith; and
(4): the Legal Defeasance provisions of the indenture.

In addition, the Issuers may, at their option and at any time, elect to have their obligations released with respect to certain covenants that are described in the indenture ("Covenant Defeasance") and thereafter any omission to comply with those covenants will not constitute a Default or Event of Default with respect to the notes. In the event Covenant Defeasance occurs, certain events (not including non-payment, bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization events) described under "—Events of Default and Remedies" will no longer constitute an Event of Default with respect to the notes and the indenture. If the Issuers exercise either their Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance option, each Guarantor will be released and relieved of any obligations under its Subsidiary Guarantee and any security for the notes (other than the trust) will be released.

In order to exercise either Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance:

(1)

the Issuers must irrevocably deposit with the trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the Holders, cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable Government Securities, or a combination of cash in U.S. dollars and non-callable Government Securities, in amounts as will be sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants, to pay the principal of, and interest and premium, if any, on the notes on the date of fixed maturity or on the applicable redemption date, as the case may be, and the Issuers must specify whether the notes are being defeased to the date of fixed maturity or to a particular redemption date;

(2)

in the case of Legal Defeasance, the Issuers have delivered to the trustee an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to the trustee confirming that:

(a): the Issuers have received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling; or
(b): since the date of the indenture, there has been a change in the applicable federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such opinion of counsel will confirm that, the Holders will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Legal 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 Legal Defeasance had not occurred;

(3): in the case of Covenant Defeasance, the Issuers have delivered to the trustee an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to the trustee confirming that the Holders will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant 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 Covenant Defeasance had not occurred;
(4): no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the date of such deposit (other than a Default or Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit) or insofar as Events of Default from bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization events are concerned, at any time in the period ending on the 91st day after the day of deposit;
(5): such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any material agreement or instrument (other than the indenture) to which the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries is a party or by which the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries is bound;
(6): the Issuers must have delivered to the trustee an opinion of counsel to the effect that after the 91st day following the deposit, the trust funds will not be subject to the effect of Section 547 of the United States Bankruptcy Code or Section 15 of the New York Debtor and Creditor Law or any comparable provision of applicable law;
(7): the Issuers must deliver to the trustee an officers' certificate stating that the deposit was not made by the Issuers with the intent of preferring the Holders over the other creditors of the Issuers with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding creditors of the Issuers or others; and

Satisfaction and Discharge

The indenture will be discharged and will cease to be of further effect as to all notes issued thereunder (except as to surviving rights of registration, of transfer or exchange of the notes and as otherwise specified in the indenture), when:

(1)

either:

(a): all notes that have been authenticated, except lost, stolen or destroyed notes that have been replaced or paid and notes for whose payment money has been deposited in trust and thereafter repaid to the Issuers, have been delivered to the trustee for cancellation; or
(b): all notes that have not been delivered to the trustee for cancellation have become due and payable or will become due and payable within one year by reason of the mailing of a notice of redemption or otherwise and the Issuers or any Guarantor has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the trustee as trust funds in trust solely for the benefit of the Holders, cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable Government Securities, or a combination of cash in U.S. dollars and non-callable Government Securities, in amounts as will be sufficient without consideration of any reinvestment of interest, to pay and discharge the entire Indebtedness on the notes not delivered to the trustee for cancellation for principal, premium, if any, and accrued interest to the date of fixed maturity or redemption;

(2)

no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the date of the deposit or will occur as a result of the deposit and the deposit will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any material agreement or instrument (other than the indenture) to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is bound;

In addition, the Issuers must deliver an officers' certificate and an opinion of counsel to the trustee stating that all conditions precedent to satisfaction and discharge have been satisfied.

Concerning the Trustee

If the trustee becomes a creditor of an Issuer or any Guarantor, the indenture limits its right to obtain payment of claims in certain cases, or to realize on certain property received in respect of any such claim as security or otherwise. The trustee will be permitted to engage in other transactions; however, if it acquires any conflicting interest (as defined in the Trust Indenture Act) after a Default has occurred and is continuing, it must eliminate such conflict within 90 days, apply to the Commission for permission to continue or resign.

The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding notes will have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the trustee, subject to certain exceptions. The indenture provides that in case an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the trustee will be required, in the exercise of its power, to use the degree of care of a prudent man in the conduct of his own affairs. Subject to such provisions, the trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under the indenture at the request of any Holder, unless such Holder has offered to the trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense.

Governing Law

The indenture, the notes and the Subsidiary Guarantees will be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.

Book-Entry Delivery and Form

The Global Notes

The new notes will be issued in the form of one or more registered notes in global form, without interest coupons. Upon issuance, each of the global notes will be deposited with the trustee as custodian for DTC and registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC. Ownership of beneficial interests in each global note will be limited to persons who have accounts with DTC, or DTC participants, or persons who hold interests through DTC participants. We expect that under procedures established by DTC:

•: upon deposit of each global note with DTC's custodian, DTC will credit portions of the principal amount of the global note to the accounts of the DTC participants exchanging outstanding notes; and
•: ownership of beneficial interests in each global note will be shown on, and transfer of ownership of those interests will be effected only through, records maintained by DTC (with respect to interests of DTC participants) and the records of DTC participants (with respect to other owners of beneficial interests in the global note).

Beneficial interests in the global notes may not be exchanged for notes in physical, certificated form except in the limited circumstances described below.

Book-Entry Procedures For the Global Notes

All interests in the global notes will be subject to the operations and procedures of DTC. We provide the following summaries of those operations and procedures solely for the convenience of investors. The operations and procedures for DTC are controlled by DTC and may be changed at any time. We are not responsible for those operations or procedures.

DTC has advised us that DTC is a limited-purpose trust company created to hold securities for its participating organizations (collectively, the "Participants") and to facilitate the clearance and settlement of transactions in those securities between Participants through electronic book-entry changes in accounts of its Participants. The Participants include securities brokers and dealers (including the initial purchasers), banks, trust companies, clearing corporations and certain other organizations. Access to DTC's system is also available to other entities such as banks, brokers, dealers and trust companies that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a Participant, either directly or indirectly (collectively, the "Indirect Participants"). Persons who are not Participants may beneficially own securities held by or on behalf of DTC only through the Participants or the Indirect Participants. The ownership interests in, and transfers of ownership interests in, each security held by or on behalf of DTC are recorded on the records of the Participants and Indirect Participants.

So long as DTC's nominee is the registered owner of a global note, that nominee will be considered the sole owner or holder of the notes represented by that global note for all purposes under the indenture. Except as provided below, owners of beneficial interests in a global note:

•: will not be entitled to have notes represented by the global note registered in their names;
•: will not receive or be entitled to receive physical, certificated notes; and
•: will not be considered the owners or holders of the notes under the indenture for any purpose, including with respect to the giving of any direction, instruction or approval to the trustee under the Indenture.

As a result, each investor who owns a beneficial interest in a global note must rely on the procedures of DTC to exercise any rights of a holder of notes under the indenture (and, if the investor is not a participant or an indirect participant in DTC, on the procedures of the DTC participant through which the investor owns its interest).

Payments of principal, premium (if any) and interest with respect to the notes represented by a global note will be made by the trustee to DTC's nominee as the registered holder of the global note. Neither we nor the trustee will have any responsibility or liability for the payment of amounts to owners of beneficial interests in a global note, for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of those interests by DTC, or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records of DTC relating to those interests.

Payments by participants and indirect participants in DTC to the owners of beneficial interests in a global note will be governed by standing instructions and customary industry practice and will be the responsibility of those participants or indirect participants and DTC.

Transfers between participants in DTC will be effected under DTC's procedures and will be settled in same-day funds.

DTC has agreed to the above procedures to facilitate transfers of interests in the global notes among participants in those settlement systems. However, DTC is not obligated to perform these procedures and may discontinue or change these procedures at any time. Neither we nor the trustee will have any responsibility for the performance by DTC or its participants or indirect participants of its obligations under the rules and procedures governing its operations.

Certificated Notes

Notes in physical, certificated form will be issued and delivered to each person that DTC identifies as a beneficial owner of the related notes only if:

•: DTC notifies us at any time that it is unwilling or unable to continue as depositary for the global notes and a successor depositary is not appointed within 120 days;
•: DTC ceases to be registered as a clearing agency under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and a successor depositary is not appointed within 120 days;
•: we, at our option, notify the trustee that we elect to cause the issuance of certificated notes; or
•: certain other events provided in the indenture should occur.

If, at any time, any Unrestricted Subsidiary would fail to meet the preceding requirements as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, it will thereafter cease to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary for purposes of the indenture and any Indebtedness of such Subsidiary will be deemed to be incurred by a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company as of such date and, if such Indebtedness is not permitted to be incurred as of such date under the covenant described under the caption "—Certain Covenants—Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Disqualified Stock," the Company will be in default of such covenant.

CERTAIN UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

The following discussion is a summary of certain federal income tax considerations relevant to the exchange of outstanding notes for new notes, but does not purport to be a complete analysis of all potential tax effects. The discussion is 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. Some holders, including financial institutions, insurance companies, regulated investment companies, tax-exempt organizations, dealers in securities or currencies, persons whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar, or persons who hold the notes as part of a hedge, conversion transaction, straddle or other risk reduction transaction may be subject to special rules not discussed below. We recommend that each holder consult his own tax advisor as to the particular tax consequences of exchanging such holder's outstanding notes for new notes, including the applicability and effect of any foreign, state, local or other tax laws or estate or gift tax considerations.

We believe that 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.

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 the 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 the exchange offer if you are:

•: our "affiliate" within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act of 1933; or
•: a broker-dealer that acquired outstanding notes directly from us.

Each broker-dealer that receives new notes for its own account pursuant to the exchange offer must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of such new notes. 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. In other transactions involving an exchange offer, the staff of the SEC has taken the position that broker-dealers may fulfill their prospectus delivery requirements, other than in connection with a resale of an unsold allotment from an original sale of outstanding securities, with a prospectus prepared in connection with the exchange offer. We believe 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 180 days after the expiration of the exchange offer, we will make this prospectus, as amended or supplemented, available to any broker-dealer for use in connection with any such resale. In addition, until such date, all dealers affecting transactions in the new notes may be required to deliver a prospectus.

If you wish to exchange new notes for your outstanding notes in the exchange offer, you will be required to make representations to us as described in "The Exchange Offer—Purpose and Effect of the Exchange Offer" and "—Procedures for Tendering—Your Representations to Us" in this prospectus and in the letter of transmittal.

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 such 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 offer 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 of 1933 and any profit on any such resale of new notes and any commission or concessions received by any such persons may be deemed to be underwriting compensation under the Securities Act of 1933. The 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 of 1933.

For a period of up to 180 days after the expiration of the 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 the letter of transmittal. We have agreed to pay all expenses incident to the exchange offer (including the expenses of one counsel to the holders of the outstanding notes) other than commissions or concessions of any brokers or dealers, and will indemnify holders of the outstanding notes, including any broker-dealers, against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933.
