PCEC MAY, WITHIN 120 DAYS AFTER RECEIPT OF A CHARGE FROM BREITBURN MANAGEMENT, TAKE WRITTEN EXCEPTION TO SUCH CHARGE, ON THE GROUND THAT THE SAME WAS NOT A REASONABLE COST INCURRED BY BREITBURN MANAGEMENT OR ITS AFFILIATES IN CONNECTION WITH THE SERVICES. PCEC SHALL NEVERTHELESS PAY BREITBURN MANAGEMENT IN FULL WHEN DUE THE FULL PAYMENT AMOUNT OWED TO BREITBURN MANAGEMENT. Such PAYMENT SHALL NOT BE DEEMED A WAIVER OF THE RIGHT OF PCEC TO RECOUP ANY CONTESTED PORTION OF ANY AMOUNT SO PAID. HOWEVER, IF THE AMOUNT AS TO WHICH SUCH WRITTEN EXCEPTION IS TAKEN, OR ANY PART THEREOF, IS ULTIMATELY DETERMINED NOT TO BE AN APPROPRIATE COST INCURRED BY BREITBURN MANAGEMENT OR ITS AFFILIATES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IN CONNECTION WITH ITS PROVIDING THE SERVICES HEREUNDER, SUCH AMOUNT OR PORTION THEREOF (AS THE CASE MAY BE) SHALL BE REFUNDED BY BREITBURN MANAGEMENT TO PCEC TOGETHER WITH INTEREST THEREON AT THE PRIME RATE DURING THE PERIOD FROM THE DATE OF PAYMENT BY PCEC TO THE DATE OF REFUND BY BREITBURN MANAGEMENT.

PCEC shall not be obligated to pay to BreitBurn Management’s or its Affiliates’ employees directly any compensation, salaries, wages, bonuses, benefits, social security taxes, workers’ compensation insurance, retirement and insurance benefits, training and other such expenses; provided, however, that PCEC may, at its option, compensate employees providing Services hereunder under any PCEC long-term incentive plan or any equity-based incentive plan or agreement for the provision of Services hereunder; and provided further, however, that if BreitBurn Management fails to pay any employee providing Services hereunder, with the exception of employee claims for amounts owed that BreitBurn Management disputes in good faith, within 30 days of the date such employee’s payment is due:

Section 11.1 General Transition Services.

In the event that this Agreement is terminated by the giving of notice pursuant to Section 7.1 or in the event that PCEC makes an election pursuant to Section 7.2(a) or 7.3(a) , then for so long as PCEC is not in default under this Agreement, PCEC shall have the right to receive from BreitBurn Management commercially reasonable transitional services (the “Transition Services”) in addition to Services under this Agreement. Such Transition Services shall provide for the orderly, efficient and timely transition to PCEC of the responsibility for the administrative services previously provided by BreitBurn Management hereunder. Such Transition Services shall be provided for the applicable Payment Amount otherwise attributable to the period in question without any increase in the Fixed Fee. The Transition Services shall, if requested by PCEC in accordance with Article VII and for so long as PCEC is not in default under this Agreement, be provided for up to a six (6) month period (the “Transition Period”). Transition Services shall at the request of PCEC include, without limitation, the following:

(a) Subject to confidentiality provisions and other third party restrictions, BreitBurn Management shall use commercially reasonable efforts to segregate all books, records and data that relate to Business or the assets of the PCEC Group and provide the PCEC Group with a listing of all such books, records and data. BreitBurn Management shall take all such steps, including using reasonable commercial efforts to obtain any applicable approvals, consents, or waivers, as are necessary or appropriate to transfer such books, records and data to the PCEC Group.

(b) BreitBurn Management shall take all necessary or appropriate steps to transfer and to transition to the PCEC Group the information, knowledge and systems data relating to the Services currently provided by PCEC under this Agreement, including without limitation, banking arrangements, taxation matters, lease, land, conveyancing and real estate administration matters, treasury matters, insurance coverage matters, information systems matters, human resource matters, marketing matters, operations, development, exploration and geological and geophysical matters, and accounting and audit matters.

(c) BreitBurn Management shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any applicable approvals, consents or waivers, to transfer all contracts applicable to the Business and the assets of the PCEC Group.

(d) Subject to confidentiality provisions and other third party restrictions, BreitBurn Management shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any applicable consents, approvals or waivers, in order to transfer all data for all systems relating to the Business and the assets of the PCEC Group. The PCEC Group shall be entitled to use BreitBurn Management systems, software and hardware until such time as such data is transferred to the PCEC Group and the PCEC Group systems are fully functional. To the extent software systems can be duplicated at no cost to BreitBurn Management a copy shall be provided to PCEC, and to the extent software systems relate solely to the assets of the PCEC Group, they shall be transferred to PCEC.

(e) Subject to confidentiality provisions and other third party restrictions, BreitBurn Management shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any applicable consents, appraisals or waivers, to transfer all technical data and knowledge, studies, reports, working papers, logs and interpretations related to the Business or the assets of the PCEC Group to the PCEC Group.

Section 11.2 Access.

The PCEC Group shall be entitled to have, upon reasonable advance notice to BreitBurn Management, reasonable access to BreitBurn Management and its staff during any period during which Transition Services are being provided. The PCEC Group shall also during the Transition Period have, upon reasonable advance notice, reasonable access to all books, records, data, systems relating primarily to the Business and the assets of the PCEC Group. The PCEC Group shall be permitted to have employees or representatives in each of the areas of the services being provided attend at the offices of BreitBurn Management during normal business hours during the Transition Period and BreitBurn Management shall provide such persons with reasonable working areas comparable with BreitBurn Management employees.

Section 11.3 Employment Offers.

The PCEC Group shall be entitled before or during the Transition Period to offer employment or service contracts to those employees of BreitBurn Management who are field workers or officed exclusively at PCEC field offices. BreitBurn Management agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to assist the PCEC Group in obtaining the transfer of the employment of such personnel to the PCEC Group. BreitBurn Management and the PCEC Group agree to meet and discuss whether it would be appropriate for other employees of BreitBurn Management who spend a material amount of time on PCEC Group matters to transfer their employment to the PCEC Group at the end of the Transition Period.

Section 11.4 Employee Plans and Obligations.

Each of BreitBurn Management and PCEC will use commercially reasonable efforts, (including using commercially reasonable efforts to cause its Affiliates to take necessary or appropriate steps and commercially reasonable efforts to obtain applicable consents, approvals and waivers) to segregate any employee plans and the obligations thereunder such that the PCEC Group will only have liability under the employee plans relating to it.

Section 11.5 Sale of PCEC.

BreitBurn Management acknowledges that the PCEC Group may sell all or any portion of PCEC, or all or a portion of its assets and therefore the PCEC Group shall be entitled to assign the rights it has to obtain the Transition Services hereunder to any purchaser of the PCEC Group, any part thereof, or any of its assets.
