PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT

(To Prospectus dated May 18, 2012)

$400,000,000

BreitBurn Energy Partners L.P.

BreitBurn Finance Corporation

7.875% Senior Notes due 2022

We are an independent oil and gas partnership focused on the acquisition, exploitation and development of oil and gas properties in the United States. BreitBurn Finance Corporation is our wholly owned subsidiary that has no material assets and was formed for the purpose of being a co-issuer of certain of our indebtedness, including the notes. We are offering $400,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 7.875% Senior Notes due 2022 of BreitBurn Energy Partners L.P. and BreitBurn Finance Corporation, which we refer to as the “new notes.” The new notes are being offered as additional notes under an indenture pursuant to which we have previously issued $450,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of our 7.875% Senior Notes due 2022, which we refer to as the “outstanding notes” and, together with the new notes, the “notes.” The new notes will have identical terms, other than the issue date and initial interest payment date, and will constitute part of the same series as and be fungible with the outstanding notes. We pay fixed interest on the notes on April 15 and October 15 of each year, and the first interest payment for the new notes will be April 15, 2014. The notes will mature on April 15, 2022.

We may redeem all or part of the notes at any time on or after January 15, 2017. In addition, before January 15, 2015, we may redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the notes with the net cash proceeds of certain equity offerings. At any time prior to January 15, 2017, we may also redeem the notes, in whole or in part, at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes plus a “make-whole” premium. If we undergo a change of control, we may be required to offer to purchase the notes from holders. Redemption and repurchase prices are set forth under “Description of Notes—Optional Redemption” and “—Repurchase at the Option of Holders” in the accompanying prospectus.

The notes are our senior unsecured obligations and rank equally in right of payment with all of our existing and future senior indebtedness and senior in right of payment to any future subordinated indebtedness. The notes are guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by all of our existing and future domestic subsidiaries (other than the co-issuer) that guarantee indebtedness under our bank credit facility. The guarantees rank equally in right of payment with all of the existing and future senior indebtedness of our subsidiary guarantors. The notes and guarantees are effectively subordinated in right of payment to any existing or future secured indebtedness, including indebtedness under our bank credit facility, to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such indebtedness.

The notes will not be listed on any securities exchange.

Investing in the notes involves risks. See “Risk Factors” beginning on page S-17 of this prospectus supplement and on page 6 of the accompanying prospectus.

BreitBurn Energy Partners L.P.

We are an independent oil and gas partnership focused on the acquisition, exploitation and development of oil and gas properties in the United States. Our objective is to manage our oil and gas producing properties for the purpose of generating cash flows and making distributions to our unitholders. Our assets consist primarily of producing and non-producing crude oil and natural gas reserves located primarily in:

• the Antrim Shale and several non-Antrim formations in Michigan;

• the Evanston, Green River, Wind River, Big Horn and Powder River Basins in Wyoming;

• the Los Angeles and San Joaquin Basins in California;

• the Permian Basin in Texas;

• the Oklahoma Panhandle;

S-1

• the Sunniland Trend in Florida; and

• the New Albany Shale in Indiana and Kentucky.

Our assets are characterized by stable, long-lived production and proved reserve life indexes, which averaged greater than 17 years as of December 31, 2012. Our fields generally have long production histories, with some fields producing for over 100 years. We have high net revenue interests in our properties.

As of December 31, 2012, our total estimated proved reserves were 149.4 MMBoe, of which approximately 49% were crude oil, 4% were NGLs and 47% were natural gas. Of our total estimated proved reserves as of December 31, 2012, 35% were located in Michigan, 26% in Wyoming, 17% in California, 15% in Texas and 7% in Florida, with less than 1% in Indiana and Kentucky. As of December 31, 2012, the total standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows was $1.99 billion.

The following table summarizes estimated proved reserves and production for our properties by state:

	As of December 31, 2012							Year Ended December 31, 2012
	Estimated Proved Reserves (MMBoe)(a)		Percent of Total Estimated Proved Reserves			Estimated Proved Developed Reserves (MMBoe)		Production (MBoe)(b)		Average Daily Production (Boe/d)(b)
Michigan		51.7		34.6	%		47.4		3,370		9,206
Wyoming		39.4		26.4	%		30.8		2,542		7,189
California		25.6		17.1	%		21.7		1,183		4,068
Texas		21.7		14.5	%		8.8		315		3,482
Florida		10.4		7.0	%		10.4		704		1,924
Indiana/Kentucky		0.6		0.4	%		0.6		204		557
Total(c)		149.4		100	%		119.7		8,318		26,426

(a) Our estimated proved reserves were determined using $2.76 per MMBtu for gas and $94.71 per Bbl of oil. Such prices were determined using unweighted average first-day-of-the-month prices for the twelve months ended December 31, 2012 in accordance with SEC guidelines. Natural gas is converted on the basis of six Mcf of gas per one Bbl of oil equivalent. This ratio reflects an energy content equivalency and not a price or revenue equivalency. Given commodity price disparities, the price for a Bbl of oil equivalent for natural gas is significantly less than the price for a Bbl of oil.

(b) In 2012, we completed the acquisitions of oil and natural gas properties located in the Permian Basin in Texas from Element Petroleum, LP and CrownRock, L.P., oil properties located in Park County in the Big Horn Basin of Wyoming from Legacy Energy, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of NiMin Energy Corp., and principally oil properties from American Energy Operations, Inc. located in the Belridge Field in Kern County, California. The production amounts in the table above include production from these oil and gas properties from their respective dates of acquisition to December 31, 2012.

(c) In 2013, we completed the acquisition of oil and gas properties referred to below as the Whiting Acquisition. The amounts of our estimated proved reserves and production in the table do not include the oil and gas properties acquired in 2013.

Estimates of our proved reserves were prepared by Netherland, Sewell & Associates, Inc. and Schlumberger Technology Corporation, independent petroleum engineering firms. Netherland, Sewell & Associates, Inc. prepares reserve data for our Wyoming, California, Texas and Florida properties, and Schlumberger Technology Corporation prepares reserve data for our Michigan, Kentucky and Indiana properties.

For a discussion of our reserves and production for the year ended December 31, 2012, please read Part I — Item 1 “Business — Reserves and Production” and Note A of the Supplemental Information to the consolidated financial statements included in our 2012 Annual Report, which is incorporated by reference in this prospectus.

Capital Program

Currently, we expect our full year 2013 crude oil and natural gas capital spending program to be approximately $271 million, excluding acquisitions and capitalized general and administrative expenses, compared with approximately $153 million in 2012. We plan to principally target oil projects and expect to spend approximately 84% of our capital budget in California, Florida, Texas and Oklahoma and approximately 16% in Michigan, Wyoming, Indiana and Kentucky.

Recent Acquisitions

On July 15, 2013, we completed the acquisition of certain oil and gas and midstream assets located in Oklahoma, New Mexico and Texas (the “Whiting Assets”) from Whiting Oil and Gas Corporation (“WOGC”), a subsidiary of Whiting Petroleum Corporation. Under the terms of an agreement with WOGC, we acquired the Whiting Assets for a purchase price of approximately $833 million in cash (the “Whiting Acquisition”). Also, in July 2013, we completed the acquisition of additional interests in certain of the acquired assets in the Oklahoma Panhandle from other sellers for an additional approximately $30 million, subject to customary post-closing adjustments. The Whiting Assets include the Postle Field, which currently has active CO₂ enhanced recovery projects, and the Northeast Hardesty Unit, both of which are located in Texas County, Oklahoma. We have a contracted supply of CO₂ in the Bravo Dome Field in New Mexico, with step-in rights, for 129,000,000 Mcf over 10 to 15 years, which we expect to provide volumes required to produce our estimated proved reserves when coupled with recycled CO₂. The Postle Field includes 227 gross producing wells and 174 injectors, and the Northeast Hardesty Unit includes 24 gross producing wells and 17 injectors. As part of the Whiting Acquisition and the purchase of additional interests, we are also the sole owner of the Dry Trails gas plant located in Texas County, Oklahoma and the 120-mile Transpetco Pipeline, a CO₂ transportation pipeline delivering product from New Mexico to the Postle Field in Oklahoma. We funded the purchase price for the Whiting Acquisition and the acquisition of additional interests in certain of the acquired assets in the Oklahoma Panhandle with borrowings under our bank credit facility, a portion of which was repaid with the net proceeds of our recent equity offering and an additional portion of which will be repaid with the net proceeds of this offering.

Our management’s review of the estimated proved reserves relating to the Whiting Acquisition indicated estimated proved reserves of 41.4 MMBoe, with an estimated proved reserve life index of approximately 15 years, as of June 30, 2013, which estimated proved reserves were determined using $91.60 per barrel of oil and $3.44 per MMBtu of gas. Such prices were determined using the average of the historical first-day-of-the-month prices for the twelve months ended June 30, 2013 in accordance with SEC guidelines. Approximately 95% of these reserves were oil and NGLs, approximately 70% were proved developed and approximately 68% were proved developed producing as of June 30, 2013. Management’s estimate of the average daily production per day for September 2013 from the Whiting Assets was approximately 7,275 Boe, which was comprised of approximately 83% crude oil, 13% NGLs and 4% natural gas. In 2013 to date, the price per barrel of oil for our production from the Whiting Assets represented an approximately $8 discount to the NYMEX West Texas Intermediate (“NYMEX WTI”) benchmark price.

Reserve engineering is a complex and subjective process of estimating underground accumulations of oil and natural gas that cannot be measured in an exact way, and the accuracy of any reserve estimate is a function of the quality of available data and of engineering and geological interpretation and judgment. As

S-3

a result, estimates prepared by one engineer may vary from those prepared by another. Estimates of proved reserves for our oil and gas properties as of December 31, 2013 will be prepared by Netherland, Sewell & Associates, Inc., Schlumberger Technology Corporation and, for our recently acquired Oklahoma properties, Cawley, Gillespie & Associates, Inc. using the information available at that time. Upon completion of their review, the estimate of the proved reserves for our oil and gas properties as of December 31, 2013 will be different from the estimate of the proved reserves for our oil and gas properties as of December 31, 2012 shown in the table above, and the estimates of proved reserves relating to the acquisition of oil and gas properties referred to below as the Whiting Acquisition as of December 31, 2013 will be different from our management’s estimates of such reserves as of June 30, 2013 as described above.

Recent Equity Offering

On November 18, 2013, we sold 18,975,000 common units in an underwritten public offering, resulting in net proceeds of approximately $332.8 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses. We intend to use substantially all of the net proceeds from such offering to reduce outstanding borrowings under our bank credit facility.

Monthly Distributions on Common Units

On October 30, 2013, we amended our limited partnership agreement to provide that, at the discretion of our General Partner, we may pay quarterly distributions on our common units within 45 days following the end of each quarter or in three installments within 17, 45 and 75 days following the end of each quarter. We intend to change our distribution payment policy from a quarterly payment schedule to a monthly payment schedule beginning with the distributions relating to the fourth quarter of 2013. The payment of monthly distributions is expected to commence in January 2014.

Our Competitive Strengths and Our Strategy

Our Competitive Strengths

We believe the following strengths provide us with significant competitive advantages:

High-Quality Asset Base with Stable, Long-Lived Production

Our properties are located in large, mature fields characterized by a significant amount of original oil in place, long-lived reserves, low production decline rates, and a high percentage of proved developed producing reserves. These properties have well-understood geological features and relatively predictable production profiles. As of December 31, 2012, our assets were characterized by proved reserve life indexes averaging greater than 17 years, and approximately 80% of our 149.4 MMBoe of estimated proved reserves were classified as proved developed. As of June 30, 2013, we estimate that the Whiting Assets were characterized by an estimated proved reserve life index of approximately 15 years, and approximately 70% of the 41.4 MMBoe of estimated proved reserves were classified as proved developed.

Geographically Diverse Asset Base Consisting of a Balance of Oil and Gas Properties

Currently, our reserves are geographically diverse and located primarily in eight states in the United States with no one state accounting for more than 27% of our proved reserves, after giving effect to the Whiting Acquisition. As of December 31, 2012, our reserve mix consisted of approximately 49% crude oil, 4% NGLs and 47% natural gas. As of June 30, 2013, we estimate that the reserve mix of the Whiting Assets consisted of approximately 84% crude oil, 11% NGLs and 5% natural gas.

Experienced Management, Operating and Technical Teams

Our experienced management, operating and technical teams share a long working history with the Partnership and our predecessor. Our CEO, Halbert S. Washburn, and the Vice Chairman of the board of

S-4

directors of our General Partner, Randall H. Breitenbach, founded our predecessor in May 1988 and have assembled experienced operating and technical teams. Our executive officers and key employees have on average over 20 years of experience in the oil and gas industry and have a track record of acquiring, drilling and optimizing assets.

Hedging Through 2018 at Attractive Average Prices

Currently, we use a combination of fixed price swap and option arrangements to hedge crude oil and natural gas prices. By removing the price volatility from a significant portion of our crude oil and natural gas production, we mitigate, but do not eliminate, the potential effects of changing crude oil and natural gas prices on our cash flow from operations for the hedged periods.

High Percentage of Operated Properties

For the year ended December 31, 2012, on a net production basis, we operated approximately 84% of our production. Maintaining control of our properties allows us to use our technical and operational expertise to manage overhead, production, drilling costs and capital expenditures and to control the timing of development opportunities.

S-6

Our Strategy

Our long-term goals are to manage our oil and gas producing properties for the purpose of generating cash flows and making distributions to our unitholders. In order to meet these objectives, we plan to continue to follow our core investment strategy, which includes the following principles:

Acquire Long-Lived Assets with Low-Risk Exploitation and Development Opportunities

Our acquisition program targets oil and natural gas properties that we believe will be financially accretive and offer stable, long-lived, high quality production with relatively predictable decline curves, as well as low-risk development opportunities. We evaluate acquisitions based on decline profile, reserve life, operational efficiency, field cash flows, development costs and rate of return. As part of this strategy, we continually seek to optimize our asset portfolio, which may include the divestiture of noncore assets. This allows us to redeploy capital into projects to develop low-risk, long-lived and lower-decline properties that are better suited to our strategy.

We regularly engage in discussions with potential sellers regarding acquisition opportunities. Such acquisition efforts may involve our participation in auction processes, as well as situations in which we believe we are the only party or one of a very limited number of potential buyers in negotiations with the potential seller. These acquisition efforts can involve assets that, if acquired, would have a material effect on our financial condition and results of operations. We seek to finance acquisitions with a combination of equity and funds from equity and debt offerings, bank borrowings and cash generated from operations.

Consistent with our long-term business strategy, we completed seven acquisitions in Texas, Wyoming and California during 2012 totaling approximately $606 million, including the issuance of $56 million in common units, and acquisitions in Oklahoma, New Mexico and Texas in July 2013, totaling approximately $864 million. For example, the Whiting Acquisition provides us with expansion opportunities in the Mid-Continent Region of the United States and in the Permian Basin in Texas. We plan to continue to actively pursue oil and natural gas acquisition opportunities.

Use Our Technical Expertise and State-of-the-Art Technologies to Identify and Implement Successful Exploitation Techniques to Optimize Reserve Recovery

Immediately after we acquire a property, our technical team conducts an extensive geologic and reservoir engineering study of the property to identify appropriate development opportunities. This study often involves assembling a 3-D geologic and reservoir model of the field, which guides our decision-making on these capital-intensive investments.

We apply integrated reservoir engineering and geoscience technologies to all of our properties that allow us to better understand these complex hydrocarbon accumulations. We believe that this better understanding allows us to continue to design and implement development programs that optimize and incrementally add to the amount of any oil and gas reserves recovered from our properties. We believe that, dependent ultimately on commodity price levels, our current asset base provides us with the opportunity to continue to grow our reserves and production with a significant number of low geologic risk drilling opportunities. Furthermore, we are actively pursuing acquisitions, and one of the important factors we review and consider in acquiring new properties is adding potential additional drilling opportunities.

Reduce Cash Flow Volatility Through Commodity Price and Interest Rate Derivatives

Our revenues and net income are sensitive to oil and natural gas prices. We enter into various derivative contracts intended to achieve more predictable cash flows and to reduce our exposure to adverse fluctuations in the prices of oil and natural gas. We currently maintain derivative arrangements for a significant portion of our oil and natural gas production. We use a combination of fixed price swap and option arrangements to economically hedge crude oil and natural gas prices. By removing the price

S-7

volatility from a significant portion of our crude oil and natural gas production, we have mitigated, but not eliminated, the potential effects of changing crude oil and natural gas prices on our cash flows from operations for those periods. Our commodity price risk management program is intended to reduce our exposure to commodity prices and assist with stabilizing cash flows and distributions. To the extent we have hedged a significant portion of our expected production and the cost for goods and services increases, our margins would be adversely affected.

Our commodity hedging transactions are primarily in the form of swap contracts and collars that are designed to provide a fixed price (swap contracts) or range of prices between a price floor and a price ceiling (collars) that we will receive, instead of being exposed to the full range of price fluctuations.

In addition, we enter into derivative contracts in the form of interest rate swaps to minimize the effects of fluctuations in interest rates.

Maximize Asset Value and Cash Flow Stability Through Our Operating and Technical Expertise

We have organized the operation of our properties into defined operating regions to minimize operating costs and maximize production and capital efficiency. We maintain an inventory of drilling and optimization projects within each region to achieve organic growth from our capital development program. We seek to be the operator of our properties so that we can develop drilling programs and optimization projects that not only replace production, but add value through reserve and production growth and future operational synergies. Our development program is focused on lower-risk, repeatable drilling opportunities to maintain and/or grow cash flows. Many of the wells are completed in multiple producing zones with commingled production and long economic lives. In addition, we seek to deliver attractive financial returns by leveraging our technical expertise, experienced workforce and scalable infrastructure.

The Offering

The following is a brief summary of some of the terms of this offering, and it supersedes the corresponding summary under “Prospectus Summary – The Offering” in the accompanying prospectus. Certain of the terms described below are subject to important limitations and exceptions. See “Description of Notes” in the accompanying prospectus for a more detailed description of the terms of the notes.

Issuers BreitBurn Energy Partners L.P. and BreitBurn Finance Corporation.

BreitBurn Finance Corporation, a Delaware corporation, is a wholly owned subsidiary of BreitBurn Energy Partners L.P. that has been organized for the sole purpose of being a co-issuer of certain of our indebtedness, including the notes. BreitBurn Finance Corporation has no operations and no revenue other than as may be incidental to its activities as co-issuer of our indebtedness.

Notes Offered $400,000,000 principal amount of 7.875% Senior Notes due 2022. The new notes are being offered as additional notes under an indenture pursuant to which we issued $250,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of our 7.875% Senior Notes due 2022 on January 13, 2012 and an additional $200,000,000 in aggregate principal amount on September 27, 2012. The new notes will have identical terms, other than the issue date and the initial interest payment date, and will constitute part of the same series as and be fungible with the outstanding notes.

Maturity April 15, 2022.

Interest Interest on the new notes will accrue at a rate of 7.875% per annum (calculated using a 360-day year) from October 15, 2013, the latest interest payment date on the outstanding notes.

Interest on the notes is payable on April 15 and October 15 of each year, and the first interest payment for the new notes will be April 15, 2014.

Ranking The notes are our senior unsecured obligations. Accordingly, they rank:

• equally in right of payment with all of our existing and future senior indebtedness, including our outstanding 8.625% Senior Notes due 2020;

• effectively junior in right of payment to all of our existing and future secured indebtedness, including indebtedness under our bank credit facility, to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such indebtedness;

• structurally junior in right of payment to all existing and future indebtedness and other liabilities, including trade payables, of any non-guarantor subsidiaries (other than indebtedness and liabilities owed to us, if any); and

• senior in right of payment to any future subordinated indebtedness.

S-10

As of September 30, 2013, on a pro forma as adjusted basis to reflect this offering and our use of proceeds therefrom and the other transactions described under “Capitalization,” the notes would be effectively junior to approximately $372.7 million of outstanding senior secured indebtedness (to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such indebtedness) under our bank credit facility.

Subsidiary Guarantees The notes will be jointly and severally guaranteed by all of our existing and future domestic subsidiaries (other than the co-issuer) that guarantee indebtedness under our bank credit facility, whom we refer to as “our subsidiary guarantors.” The subsidiary guarantees rank:

• equally in right of payment with all of the existing and future senior indebtedness of our subsidiary guarantors, including their guarantees of our outstanding 8.625% senior notes due 2020 and our other senior indebtedness;

• effectively junior in right of payment to all existing and future secured indebtedness of our subsidiary guarantors to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such indebtedness;

• structurally junior in right of payment to all existing and future indebtedness and other liabilities, including trade payables, of any non-guarantor subsidiaries (other than indebtedness and other liabilities owed to our subsidiary guarantors, if any); and

• senior in right of payment to any future subordinated indebtedness of our subsidiary guarantors.

As of September 30, 2013, on a pro forma as adjusted basis to reflect this offering and our use of proceeds therefrom and the other transactions described under “Capitalization,” the subsidiary guarantees would be effectively junior to approximately $372.7 million of outstanding senior secured indebtedness (to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such indebtedness) under our bank credit facility.

Optional Redemption We may redeem the notes, in whole or in part, at any time on or after January 15, 2017 at the redemption prices described in this prospectus under the heading “Description of Notes – Optional Redemption” in the accompanying prospectus, together with any accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption.

Prior to January 15, 2017, we may redeem the notes, in whole or in part, at a “make-whole” redemption price described under “Description of Notes – Optional Redemption” in the accompanying prospectus, together with any accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption.

Equity Offering Optional Redemption Prior to January 15, 2015, we may, at any time or from time to time, redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the

S-11

notes with the net proceeds of a public or private equity offering at 107.875% of the principal amount of the notes, plus any accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption, if at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of the notes issued under the indenture remains outstanding after such redemption and the redemption occurs within 120 days of the date of the closing of such equity offering.

Change of Control If 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 to the date of repurchase.

Certain Covenants The indenture governing the notes contains covenants that, among other things, limit our ability and the ability of our restricted subsidiaries to:

• pay distributions on, purchase or redeem our units or redeem our subordinated debt;

• make investments;

• incur or guarantee additional indebtedness or issue preferred units;

• create certain liens;

• sell assets;

• consolidate, merge or transfer all or substantially all of our assets;

• enter into agreements that restrict distributions or other payments from our restricted subsidiaries to us;

• engage in transactions with affiliates; and

• create unrestricted subsidiaries.

These covenants are subject to important exceptions and qualifications that are described under “Description of Notes” in the accompanying prospectus. If the notes achieve an investment grade rating from each of Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. and Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services, many of these covenants will terminate.

Use of Proceeds We expect to receive net proceeds of approximately $393.4 million from this offering, after deducting estimated fees and offering expenses payable by us and excluding accrued interest from October 15, 2013. We intend to use the net proceeds from this offering to reduce borrowings under our bank credit facility. Affiliates of certain of the underwriters are lenders under our bank credit facility, and, accordingly, will receive a substantial portion of the net proceeds of this offering. See “Use of Proceeds.”

Summary Historical and Pro Forma Financial Data

The following table shows our summary historical financial data as of and for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 and as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012. We derived the summary historical financial data as of and for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 from our audited consolidated financial statements included in our 2012 Annual Report and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011. We derived the summary historical financial data as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 from our unaudited consolidated financial statements included in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended September 30, 2013 and September 30, 2012.

The summary historical financial data as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2010 is derived from financial information that we have filed with the SEC, but that is not incorporated by reference in this prospectus.

We derived the unaudited pro forma financial data for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 from the unaudited pro forma combined statements of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 included in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed on November 7, 2013. The pro forma results for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 assume that the Whiting Acquisition was consummated on January 1, 2012.

The summary historical financial data table presents a non-GAAP financial measure, “Adjusted EBITDA,” which we use in our business. This measure is not calculated or presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP. We explain this measure below and reconcile it to the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income plus interest expense and other financing costs, income tax provision, depletion, depreciation and amortization, unrealized loss or gain on derivative instruments, non-cash unit-based compensation expense, loss or gain on sale of assets, cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles, amortization of intangible sales contracts and amortization of intangible assets related to employment retention allowance.

We believe the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors to evaluate the operations of our business excluding certain items and for the reasons set forth below. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered an alternative to net income, operating income, cash flows from operating activities or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with GAAP. Our Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of another company, because all companies may not calculate Adjusted EBITDA in the same manner.

We use Adjusted EBITDA to assess:

• the financial performance of our assets without regard to financing methods, capital structure or historical cost basis;

• our operating performance and return on capital as compared to those of other companies in our industry, without regard to financing or capital structure;

• the viability of acquisitions and capital expenditure projects and the overall rates of return on alternative investment opportunities; and

• the ability of our assets to generate cash sufficient to pay interest costs and support our indebtedness.

RISK FACTORS

Investing in our notes involves risk. Before making an investment decision, you should carefully consider the risk factors discussed or incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement, together with all of the other information included, or incorporated by reference, in this prospectus supplement or to which we refer you, including the risk factors and other cautionary statements described under the heading “Risk Factors” included in Item 1A of Part I of our 2012 Annual Report and in Item 1A of Part II of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2013, each of which is incorporated by reference in this prospectus. If any of these risks were to occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be adversely affected. Also, please read “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus.

Risks Related to Investing in the Notes

Our bank credit facility has substantial restrictions and financial covenants that may restrict our business and financing activities and our ability to make payments on the notes.

As of November 18, 2013, we had approximately $868.0 million in borrowings outstanding under our bank credit facility, after giving effect to the repayment of approximately $324.0 million of such borrowings with the net proceeds from our equity offering that closed the same day. Our bank credit facility limits the amounts we can borrow to a borrowing base amount, determined by the lenders in their sole discretion based on their valuation of our proved reserves and their internal criteria. The borrowing base is redetermined semi-annually and the available borrowing amount could be further decreased as a result of such redeterminations. Decreases in the available borrowing amount could result from declines in oil and natural gas prices, operating difficulties or increased costs, declines in reserves, lending requirements or regulations or certain other circumstances. On November 18, 2013, our borrowing base was increased from $1.5 billion to $1.6 billion, and the aggregate commitment of all lenders is currently $1.4 billion with the ability to request additional commitments up to $1.6 billion. Our bank credit facility permits us to incur or guaranty additional debt up to any amount in senior unsecured notes, and if we do incur such additional indebtedness, our borrowing base will be reduced by 25% of the original stated principal amount of such senior unsecured notes. Therefore, upon completion of, and as a result of this offering, our borrowing base will be automatically reduced by $100.0 million. Our next borrowing base redetermination is scheduled to be in April 2014.

A future decrease in our borrowing base could be substantial and could be to a level below our outstanding borrowings. Outstanding borrowings in excess of the borrowing base are required to be repaid in five equal monthly payments, or we are required to pledge other oil and natural gas properties as additional collateral, within 30 days following notice from the administrative agent of the new or adjusted borrowing base. If we do not have sufficient funds on hand for repayment, we may be required to seek a waiver or amendment from our lenders, refinance our bank credit facility or sell assets or debt or common units. We may not be able to obtain such financing or complete such transactions on terms acceptable to us, or at all. Failure to make the required repayment could result in a default under our bank credit facility, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The operating and financial restrictions and covenants in our bank credit facility restrict, and any future financing agreements likely will restrict, our ability to finance future operations or capital needs or to engage, expand or pursue our business activities or to pay distributions. Our bank credit facility restricts, and any future bank credit facility likely will restrict, our ability to:

• incur indebtedness;

• grant liens;

• make certain acquisitions and investments;

• lease equipment;

• make capital expenditures above specified amounts;

• redeem or prepay other debt;

S-17

• make distributions to unitholders or repurchase units;

• enter into transactions with affiliates; and

• enter into a merger, consolidation, or sale of assets.

Our bank credit facility restricts our ability to make distributions to unitholders or repurchase units, unless after giving effect to such distribution or repurchase no Event of Default (as defined in our bank credit facility) exists. While we currently are not restricted by our bank credit facility from declaring a distribution, we may be restricted from paying a distribution in the future.

We also are required to comply with certain financial covenants and ratios under our bank credit facility. Our ability to comply with these restrictions and covenants in the future is uncertain and will be affected by the levels of cash flow from our operations and events or circumstances beyond our control. In light of the deterioration of natural gas prices, our ability to comply with these covenants may be impaired. If we violate any of the restrictions, covenants, ratios or tests in our bank credit facility, a significant portion of our indebtedness may become immediately due and payable, our ability to make distributions will be inhibited and our lenders’ commitment to make further loans to us may terminate. We might not have, or be able to obtain, sufficient funds to make these accelerated payments. In addition, our obligations under our bank credit facility are secured by substantially all of our assets, and if we are unable to repay our indebtedness under our bank credit facility, the lenders can seek to foreclose on our assets.

Restrictive covenants under our indentures may adversely affect our operations.

The indentures governing the notes and our other outstanding series of senior notes contain, and any future indebtedness we incur may contain, a number of restrictive covenants that will impose significant operating and financial restrictions on us, including restrictions on our ability to, among other things:

• sell assets, including equity interests in our restricted subsidiaries;

• pay distributions on, redeem or repurchase our units or redeem or repurchase our subordinated debt;

• make investments;

• incur or guarantee additional indebtedness or issue preferred units;

• create or incur certain liens;

• enter into agreements that restrict distributions 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

• engage in certain business activities.

As a result of these covenants, we are limited in the manner in which we conduct our business, and we may be unable to engage in favorable business activities or finance future operations or capital needs.

A failure to comply with the covenants in either of the indentures governing the notes or our other outstanding series of senior notes or in any future indebtedness could result in an event of default under such indenture or the future indebtedness, which, if not cured or waived, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, complying with these covenants may also cause us to take actions that are not favorable to holders of the notes and may make it more difficult for us to successfully execute our business strategy and compete against companies who are not subject to such restrictions.

S-18

Our ability to access the capital and credit markets to raise capital on favorable terms will be affected by our debt level and by any disruptions in the capital and credit markets.

The cost of raising money in the debt and equity capital markets has increased substantially, while the availability of funds from those markets generally has diminished. Also, as a result of concerns about the stability of financial markets and the solvency of counterparties specifically, the cost of obtaining money from the credit markets generally has increased as some major financial institutions have consolidated and others may consolidate in the future, and some lenders may increase interest rates, enact tighter lending standards, refuse to refinance existing debt at maturity on favorable terms, or at all, and may reduce or cease to provide funding to borrowers.

We may not be able to generate enough cash flow to meet our debt obligations.

We expect our earnings and cash flow to vary significantly from year to year due to the cyclical nature of our industry. As a result, the amount of debt that we can manage in some periods may not be appropriate for us in other periods. Additionally, our future cash flow may be insufficient to meet our debt obligations and commitments, including the notes. Any insufficiency could negatively impact our business. A range of economic, competitive, business and industry factors will affect our future financial performance, and, as a result, our ability to generate cash flow from operations and to pay our debt, including the notes. Many of these factors, such as oil and natural gas prices, economic and financial conditions in our industry and the global economy or competitive initiatives of our competitors, are beyond our control.

If we do not generate enough cash flow from operations to satisfy our debt obligations, we may have to undertake alternative financing plans, such as:

• refinancing or restructuring our debt;

• selling assets;

• reducing or delaying capital investments; or

• seeking to raise additional capital.

However, we cannot assure you that undertaking alternative financing plans, if necessary, would allow us to meet our debt obligations. Our inability to generate sufficient cash flow to satisfy our debt obligations, including our obligations under the notes, or to obtain alternative financing, could materially and adversely affect our ability to make payments on the notes and our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

We distribute all of our available cash to our unitholders after reserves are established by our General Partner, and we are not required to accumulate cash for the purpose of meeting our future obligations to our noteholders, which may limit the cash available to service the notes.

Subject to the limitations on restricted payments contained in the indentures governing the notes and our other outstanding series of senior notes and in our bank credit facility, our partnership agreement requires us to distribute all of our “available cash” each quarter to our unitholders. “Available cash” is defined in our partnership agreement, and it generally means, for each fiscal quarter, all cash and cash equivalents on the date of determination of available cash for that quarter, less the amount of any cash reserves established by our General Partner to:

• provide for the proper conduct of our business;

• comply with applicable law, the terms of any of our debt instruments or other agreements; or

• provide funds for distributions to our unitholders and to our General Partner for any one or more of the next four quarters.

As a result, we do not expect to accumulate significant amounts of cash. Depending on the timing and amount of our cash distributions, these distributions could significantly reduce the cash available to us in subsequent periods to make payments on the notes.

S-19

The notes and the guarantees are unsecured and effectively subordinated to our and our subsidiary guarantors’ existing and future secured indebtedness.

The notes and the guarantees are our general senior unsecured obligations and rank effectively junior in right of payment to all existing and future secured debt of ours and that of each subsidiary guarantor, respectively, including obligations under our bank credit facility, to the extent of the value of the collateral securing the debt, and equally in right of payment to the $305 million in aggregate principal amount of our outstanding 8.625% senior notes due 2020 (the “2020 Senior Notes”). As of September 30, 2013, on a pro forma as adjusted basis to reflect this offering and the application of the net proceeds of this offering and the other transactions described under “Capitalization,” we estimate that we would have had approximately $372.7 million of senior secured indebtedness outstanding under our bank credit facility to which the notes will be effectively subordinated, and approximately $1,026.3 million (after deducting $1.0 million of outstanding letters of credit) of additional borrowing capacity under our bank credit facility.

If we or a subsidiary guarantor is declared bankrupt, becomes insolvent or is liquidated or reorganized, any secured debt of ours or of any subsidiary guarantor will be entitled to be paid in full from our assets or the assets of such guarantor, as applicable, securing that debt before any payment may be made with respect to the notes or the affected guarantees. Holders of the notes will participate ratably with all holders of our unsecured indebtedness that does not rank junior to the notes, including all of our other general creditors, based upon the respective amounts owed to each holder or creditor, in our remaining assets. In any of the foregoing events, we cannot assure you that there will be sufficient assets to pay amounts due on the notes. As a result, holders of the notes would likely receive less, ratably, than holders of secured indebtedness.

Not all of our subsidiaries guarantee the notes. Your right to receive payments on the notes could be adversely affected if any of our non-guarantor subsidiaries declares bankruptcy, liquidates or reorganizes.

Although all of our existing subsidiaries, other than the co-issuer and BreitBurn Collingwood Utica LLC, a Delaware limited liability company indirectly wholly owned by the Partnership (“Utica”), currently guarantee the notes, in the future, under certain circumstances, the guarantees are subject to release, and we may have other subsidiaries in the future that are not guarantors. Thus, the notes are effectively junior to the claims of all creditors, including trade creditors and tort claimants, of our subsidiaries that are not guarantors. In the event of the liquidation, dissolution, reorganization, bankruptcy or similar proceedings respecting the business of a subsidiary that is not a guarantor, creditors of that subsidiary would generally have the right to be paid in full before any distribution is made to us or the holders of the notes. Accordingly, there may not be sufficient funds remaining to pay amounts due on all or any of the notes.

Utica owns interests in certain Michigan oil and gas leases that, as of September 30, 2013, had no associated production or proved reserves and a net book value of approximately $1.1 million. Currently, Utica has no indebtedness and no revenues. We may seek to monetize Utica’s assets or its equity interests or to develop these assets either on our own or jointly with one or more other companies. In certain cases, we might be required to make significant additional investments in Utica.

Our variable rate indebtedness subjects us to interest rate risk, which could cause our debt service obligations to increase significantly.

Borrowings under our bank credit facility bear interest at variable rates and expose us to interest rate risk. If interest rates increase and we are unable to effectively hedge our interest rate risk, our debt service obligations on the variable rate indebtedness would increase even if the amount borrowed remained the same, and our net income and cash available for servicing our indebtedness would decrease. As of September 30, 2013, if the variable interest rate increases or decreases by 0.125%, our annual debt service obligations on our variable rate debt would increase or decrease by approximately $1.4 million.

S-20

Our debt levels may limit our flexibility to obtain additional financing and pursue other business opportunities.

We have, and after this offering will continue to have, substantial indebtedness. As of September 30, 2013, on a pro forma as adjusted basis to reflect this offering and our use of proceeds therefrom and the other transactions described under “Capitalization,” we would have total long-term debt of approximately $1.5 billion.

Our existing and future indebtedness could have important consequences to us and to the holders of the notes, including:

• our ability to obtain additional financing, if necessary, for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions or other purposes may be impaired or such financing may not be available on terms acceptable to us;

• covenants in our existing and future credit and debt arrangements will require us to meet financial tests that may affect our flexibility in planning for and reacting to changes in our business, including possible acquisition opportunities;

• our access to the capital markets may be limited;

• our borrowing costs may increase;

• we will need a substantial portion of our cash flow to make principal and interest payments on our indebtedness, reducing the funds that would otherwise be available for operations, future business opportunities and distributions to unitholders; and

• our debt level will make us more vulnerable than our competitors with less debt to competitive pressures or a downturn in our business or the economy generally.

Our ability to service our indebtedness will depend upon, among other things, our future financial and operating performance, which will be affected by prevailing economic conditions and financial, business, regulatory and other factors, some of which are beyond our control. If our operating results are not sufficient to service our current or future indebtedness, we will be forced to take actions such as reducing distributions, reducing or delaying business activities, acquisitions, investments and/or capital expenditures, selling assets, restructuring or refinancing our indebtedness, or seeking additional equity capital or bankruptcy protection. We may not be able to effect any of these remedies on satisfactory terms or at all.

Despite our and our subsidiaries’ current level of indebtedness, we may still be able to incur substantially more debt. This could further exacerbate the risks associated with our substantial indebtedness.

We and our subsidiaries may be able to incur substantial additional indebtedness in the future, subject to certain limitations, including under our bank credit facility and the indentures for the notes and our other outstanding series of senior notes. For example, as of September 30, 2013, on a pro forma as adjusted basis to reflect this offering, the application of the net proceeds of this offering and the other transactions described under “Capitalization,” we expect to be able to borrow up to approximately $1,026.3 million (after deducting $1.0 million of outstanding letters of credit) on a revolving basis under our bank credit facility. See “Description of Other Indebtedness —Bank Credit Facility.” If new debt is added to our current debt levels, the related risks that we and our subsidiaries now face could intensify. Our level of indebtedness could, for instance, prevent us from engaging in transactions that might otherwise be beneficial to us or from making desirable capital expenditures. This could put us at a competitive disadvantage relative to other less leveraged competitors that have more cash flow to devote to their operations. In addition, the incurrence of additional indebtedness could make it more difficult to satisfy our existing financial obligations, including those relating to the notes.

S-21

We may not be able to fund a change of control offer.

In the event of a change of control, we will be required, subject to certain conditions, to offer to purchase all outstanding notes at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the date of purchase. The holders of our outstanding 2020 Senior Notes have substantially similar rights. If a change of control were to occur today, we would not have sufficient funds available to purchase all the outstanding notes were they to be tendered in response to an offer made as a result of a change of control. We cannot assure you that we will have sufficient funds available to fulfill these obligations upon a change of control in the future. Furthermore, any Change of Control (as defined under our bank credit facility) would constitute an event of default under our bank credit facility, and we may not be able to obtain a waiver with respect to such default from the lenders under our bank credit facility at such time. See “Description of Notes” in the accompanying prospectus.

The change of control put right might not be enforceable.

The Chancery Court of Delaware has raised the possibility in published decisions that a change of control put right occurring as a result of a failure to have “continuing directors” comprising a majority of a board of directors may be unenforceable on public policy grounds.

Many of the covenants contained in the indenture will terminate if the notes are rated investment grade by both Standard & Poor’s and Moody’s and no default or event of default has occurred and is continuing.

Many of the covenants in the indenture governing the notes will terminate if the notes are rated investment grade by both Standard & Poor’s and Moody’s, provided that at such time no default or event of default has occurred and is continuing. The covenants will restrict, among other things, our ability to pay dividends, incur debt and enter into certain other transactions. There can be no assurance that the notes will ever be rated investment grade. However, termination of these covenants would allow us to engage in certain transactions that would not have been permitted while these covenants were in force, and the effects of any such transactions will be permitted to remain in place even if the notes are subsequently downgraded below investment grade. See “Description of Notes — Certain Covenants — Covenant Termination.”

A subsidiary guarantee could be voided if it constitutes a fraudulent transfer under U.S. bankruptcy or similar state law, which would prevent the holders of the notes from relying on that subsidiary to satisfy claims.

Under U.S. bankruptcy law and comparable provisions of state fraudulent transfer laws, our subsidiary guarantees can be voided, or claims under the subsidiary guarantees may be subordinated to all other debts of that subsidiary guarantor if, among other things, the subsidiary guarantor, at the time it incurred the indebtedness evidenced by its guarantee or, in some states, when payments become due under the guarantee, received less than reasonably equivalent value or fair consideration for the incurrence of the guarantee and:

• was insolvent or rendered insolvent by reason of such incurrence;

• 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 those debts as they mature.

A subsidiary guarantee of the notes may also be voided, without regard to the above factors, if a court finds that the subsidiary guarantor entered into the guarantee with the actual intent to hinder, delay or defraud its creditors.

S-22

A court would likely find that a subsidiary guarantor did not receive reasonably equivalent value or fair consideration for its guarantee if the subsidiary guarantor did not substantially benefit directly or indirectly from the issuance of the guarantees. If a court were to void a subsidiary guarantee, you would no longer have a claim against the subsidiary guarantor. Sufficient funds to repay the notes may not be available from other sources, including the remaining subsidiary guarantors, if any. In addition, the court might direct you to repay any amounts that you already received from the subsidiary guarantor.

The measures of insolvency for purposes of fraudulent transfer laws vary depending upon the governing law. Generally, a guarantor would be considered insolvent if:

• the sum of its debts, including contingent liabilities, were greater than the fair saleable value of all its assets;

• the present fair saleable value of its assets is less than the amount that would be required to pay its probable liability on its existing debts, including contingent liabilities, as they become absolute and mature; or

• it could not pay its debts as they become due.

Each subsidiary guarantee contains a provision intended to limit the subsidiary guarantor’s liability to the maximum amount that it could incur without causing the incurrence of obligations under its subsidiary guarantee to be a fraudulent transfer. Such provision may not be effective to protect the subsidiary guarantees from being voided under bankruptcy law.

A financial failure by us or our subsidiaries may result in the assets of any or all of those entities becoming subject to the claims of all creditors of those entities.

A financial failure by us or our subsidiaries could affect payment of the notes if a bankruptcy court were to substantively consolidate us and our subsidiaries. If a bankruptcy court substantively consolidated us and our subsidiaries, the assets of each entity would become subject to the claims of creditors of all entities. This would expose holders of notes not only to the usual impairments arising from bankruptcy, but also to potential dilution of the amount ultimately recoverable because of the larger creditor base. Furthermore, forced restructuring of the notes could occur through the “cram-down” provisions of the bankruptcy code. Under these provisions, the notes could be restructured over your objections as to their general terms, primary interest rate and maturity.

Because we are a holding company, we are financially dependent on receiving distributions from our subsidiaries.

We are a holding company and our subsidiaries conduct all of our operations and own all of our assets. We have no significant assets other than the partnership interests, stock and other equity interests in our subsidiaries. As a result, our ability to make required payments on the notes will depend on the performance of our subsidiaries and their ability to distribute funds to us. Our rights and the rights of our creditors, including holders of the notes, to participate in the distribution of assets of any entity in which we own an equity interest will be subject to prior claims of such entity’s creditors upon such entity’s liquidation or reorganization. However, we may ourselves be a creditor with recognized claims against this entity, but our claims would still be subject to the prior claims of any secured creditor of this entity and of any holder of indebtedness of this entity that is senior to that held by us. Accordingly, a holder of our debt securities, including holders of the notes, may be deemed to be effectively subordinated to those claims.

Your ability to sell the notes may be limited by the discontinuation of a trading market.

Although the underwriters have informed us that they currently intend to continue to make a market in the notes, they are not obligated to do so. In addition, they may discontinue any such market making at any time without notice. The liquidity of any market for the notes depends on the number of holders of the notes, the interest of securities dealers in making a market in the notes and other factors. Accordingly, we cannot assure you as to the continuance or liquidity of any market for the notes. Historically, the market for

S-23

noninvestment grade debt has been subject to disruptions that have caused substantial volatility in the prices of securities similar to the notes. We cannot assure you that any market for the notes will be free from similar disruptions. Any such disruption may adversely affect the noteholders’ ability to sell the notes.

Risks Related to Our Structure

Our tax treatment depends on our status as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes as well as our not being subject to a material amount of entity-level taxation by individual states. If the Internal Revenue Service were to treat us as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes or we were to become subject to a material amount of entity-level taxation for state purposes, then our cash available for payment of principal and interest on the notes would be substantially reduced.

Despite the fact that we are a limited partnership under Delaware law, it is possible in certain circumstances for a publicly traded partnership such as ours to be treated as a corporation rather than a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Although we do not believe based upon our current operations that we should be so treated, a change in our business or a change in current law could cause us to be treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes or otherwise subject us to taxation as an entity.

If we were treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, we would pay U.S. federal income tax on our taxable income at the corporate tax rates, currently at a maximum rate of 35%, and would likely pay state income tax at varying rates. Because a tax would be imposed on us as a corporation, our cash available for payment of principal and interest on the notes and our other debt obligations would be substantially reduced.

Current law or our business may change so as to cause us to be treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes or otherwise subject us to entity-level taxation. At the federal level, members of the U.S. Congress, from time to time, have proposed and considered substantive changes to the federal income tax laws that affect publicly traded partnerships. One such legislative proposal would have eliminated the qualifying income exception upon which we rely for our treatment as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes. We are unable to predict whether any of these changes, or other proposals, will be reintroduced or will ultimately be enacted. Any such changes could negatively impact the amount of cash available for payment on the notes and on our other debt obligations. At the state level, because of widespread state budget deficits and other reasons, several states are evaluating ways to subject partnerships to entity-level taxation through the imposition of state income, franchise and other forms of taxation. Imposition of any additional tax on us by any state will reduce the cash available for payments on the notes and on our other debt obligations.

RATIO OF EARNINGS TO FIXED CHARGES

The table below sets forth our ratio of earnings to fixed charges for the periods indicated on a consolidated historical basis. For purposes of determining the ratio of earnings to fixed charges, earnings are defined as earnings (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes, plus fixed charges. Fixed charges consist of net interest expense (inclusive of write-off of deferred financing costs and interest expense related to make-whole premium charge, less gain from termination of interest rate swap agreements) on all indebtedness, the amortization of deferred financing costs and interest associated with operating leases.

USE OF PROCEEDS

We expect to receive net proceeds of approximately $393.4 million from this offering (after deducting estimated fees and offering expenses payable by us and excluding accrued interest from October 15, 2013).

We intend to use the net proceeds from this offering to reduce outstanding borrowings under our bank credit facility. As of September 30, 2013, there were outstanding borrowings of approximately $1,090 million under our bank credit facility, and as of November 18, 2013, there were outstanding borrowings of approximately $868.0 million under our bank credit facility, after giving effect to the repayment of approximately $324.0 million of such borrowings with the net proceeds from our equity offering that closed the same day. At September 30, 2013, the one-month LIBOR interest rate plus an applicable spread was 2.4306% on the one-month LIBOR portion of $1,087 million and the prime rate plus an applicable spread was 4.50% on the prime portion of $3 million.

On a pro forma as adjusted basis, as of September 30, 2013, we would have had approximately $1,026.3 million available for borrowing under our bank credit facility upon completion of this offering, after using the net proceeds of this offering and our recent equity offering to reduce our bank debt and after deducting $1.0 million of outstanding letters of credit.

We financed acquisitions in July 2013 using borrowings under our bank credit facility. On July 15, 2013, we completed the acquisition of the Whiting Assets from WOGC for a purchase price of approximately $833 million in cash, subject to post-closing adjustments. Also, in July 2013, we completed the acquisitions of additional interests in certain of the acquired assets in the Oklahoma Panhandle from other sellers for an additional $30 million, subject to customary post-closing adjustments.

In February 2013, we sold approximately 14.95 million of our common units resulting in net proceeds of $285.0 million, and on November 18, 2013, we sold 18,975 million of our common units resulting in net proceeds of $332.8 million. We used substantially all of the net proceeds from these offerings to reduce outstanding borrowings under our bank credit facility.

As of December 31, 2012, we had a $1.5 billion bank credit facility with a maturity date of May 9, 2016 and a borrowing base of $1.0 billion with a total lender commitment of $900 million. On July 15, 2013, we entered into the Ninth Amendment to the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Ninth Amendment”), which provided for an increased borrowing base of $1.5 billion with a total lender commitment of $1.4 billion. The Ninth Amendment also provided for an increase in the Aggregate Maximum Credit Amount (as defined in our bank credit facility) from $1.5 billion to $3 billion, increased flexibility for the Total Leverage Ratio (which is total indebtedness to EBITDAX) for the next five quarters and a new Senior Secured Leverage Ratio (which is senior secured indebtedness to EBITDAX) that will be applied through the second quarter of 2014, absent any refinancing.

The Ninth Amendment requires us to maintain a Total Leverage Ratio as of the last day of each fiscal quarter, for the four fiscal quarters ending on such date, of no greater than 4.75 to 1.00 through the first quarter of 2014, no greater than 4.50 to 1.00 through the second quarter of 2014, no greater than 4.25 to 1.00 through the third quarter of 2014 and thereafter no greater than 4.00 to 1.00. We also are required to maintain a Senior Secured Leverage Ratio as of the last day of each fiscal quarter, for the four fiscal quarters ending on such date, of no greater than 3.00 to 1.00 through the fourth quarter of 2013 and no greater than 2.75 to 1.00 through the second quarter of 2014. The numerator of each of these ratios automatically decreases by .25 if we receive net cash proceeds from the issuance of common units in a cumulative amount of at least $175 million. Upon the receipt of net cash proceeds from the issuance of common units in a cumulative amount of at least $350 million, the numerator of the Total Leverage Ratio automatically decreases by an additional .50 (but in no event will the Total Leverage Ratio be reduced to less than 4.00 to 1.00), and the Senior Secured Leverage Ratio will cease to apply.

On November 18, 2013, our borrowing base was increased from $1.5 billion to $1.6 billion, and the total lender commitment is currently $1.4 billion with the ability to request additional commitments of up to $1.6 billion. Our next borrowing base redetermination is scheduled for April 2014. Upon completion of, and as a result of this offering, our borrowing base will be automatically reduced by $100.0 million.

Affiliates of certain of the underwriters are lenders under our bank credit facility and accordingly will receive a substantial portion of the net proceeds from this offering pursuant to the repayment of borrowings under such bank credit facility.

DESCRIPTION OF OTHER INDEBTEDNESS

Bank Credit Facility

BOLP, as borrower, and we and our wholly owned subsidiaries, as guarantors, are parties to a $3.0 billion bank credit facility with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent, and the lenders party thereto. On November 18, 2013, our borrowing base under this facility was increased from $1.5 billion to $1.6 billion, and the total lender commitment is currently $1.4 billion with the ability to request additional commitments of up to $1.6 billion. Upon completion of, and as a result of this offering, our borrowing base will be automatically reduced by $100.0 million. Our next borrowing base redetermination is scheduled to be in April 2014.

The bank credit facility will mature on May 9, 2016.

Our bank credit facility contains customary covenants, including restrictions on our ability to: incur additional indebtedness; make certain investments, loans or advances; make distributions to our unitholders or repurchase units, unless after giving effect to such distribution or repurchase, we remain in compliance with all terms and conditions of our bank credit facility; make dispositions; or enter into a merger or sale of all or substantially all of our property or assets, including the sale or transfer of interests in our subsidiaries.

In July 2013, we entered into the Ninth Amendment. The Ninth Amendment requires us to maintain a Total Leverage Ratio (which is total indebtedness to EBITDAX) as of the last day of each fiscal quarter, for the four fiscal quarters ending on such date, of no greater than 4.75 to 1.00 through the first quarter of 2014, no greater than 4.50 to 1.00 through the second quarter of 2014, no greater than 4.25 to 1.00 through the third quarter of 2014 and thereafter no greater than 4.00 to 1.00. We also are required to maintain a Senior Secured Leverage Ratio (which is senior secured indebtedness to EBITDAX) as of the last day of each fiscal quarter, for the four fiscal quarters ending on such date, of no greater than 3.00 to 1.00 through the fourth quarter of 2013 and no greater than 2.75 to 1.00 through the second quarter of 2014. The numerator of each of these ratios automatically decreases by .25 if we receive net cash proceeds from the issuance of common units in a cumulative amount of at least $175 million. Upon the receipt of net cash proceeds from the issuance of common units in a cumulative amount of at least $350 million, the numerator of the Total Leverage Ratio automatically decreases by an additional .50 (but in no event will the Total Leverage Ratio be reduced to less than 4.00 to 1.00), and the Senior Secured Leverage Ratio will cease to apply.

The bank credit facility permits us to incur additional indebtedness in the form of senior unsecured notes up to any amount and provide guaranties with respect thereto, and if we do incur such additional indebtedness, on the date such senior unsecured notes are issued, our borrowing base will be reduced by 25% of the original stated principal amount of such senior unsecured notes. Upon completion of, and as a result of, this offering, we will have approximately $1.2 billion of senior unsecured notes outstanding, and our borrowing base will be automatically reduced by $100.0 million. The bank credit facility also permits us to modify or terminate derivative contracts without obtaining the consent of the lenders in the facility, provided that the net effect of such termination plus the aggregate value of all dispositions of oil and gas properties made during such period, together, does not exceed 5% of the borrowing base then in effect, and the borrowing base will be automatically reduced by an amount equal to the net effect of the modification or termination.

The events that constitute an Event of Default (as defined in the bank credit facility) include: payment defaults; misrepresentations; breach of covenants; cross-default and cross-acceleration to certain other indebtedness in excess of a specified amount; adverse judgments against us in excess of a specified amount; change in control; loss of material permits; certain insolvency events; and assertion of certain environmental claims.

We expect to repay a portion of our outstanding borrowings under the bank credit facility with the net proceeds of this offering. See “Use of Proceeds.”

8.625% Senior Notes due 2020

On October 6, 2010, we issued $305 million in aggregate principal amount of 8.625% Senior Notes due 2020. We issued the 2020 Senior Notes for net proceeds of approximately $291.2 million, after deducting fees and offering expenses payable by us. The 2020 Senior Notes were offered at a discount price of 98.358%, or $300 million. The $5 million discount is being amortized over the life of the 2020 Senior Notes. Interest on the 2020 Senior Notes is payable twice a year in April and October. The 2020 Notes mature on October 15, 2020.

We may redeem all or part of the 2020 Senior Notes at any time on or after October 15, 2015, at redemption prices beginning at 104.313% and decreasing to par on October 15, 2018, together with any accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption. In addition, before October 15, 2013, we may redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2020 Senior Notes with the net cash proceeds of certain equity offerings at a redemption price of 108.625% of the principal amount of the notes, plus any accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption. At any time prior to October 15, 2015, we may also redeem the 2020 Senior Notes, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2020 Senior Notes plus a “make-whole” premium, together with any accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption. If we undergo a change of control, we may be required to offer to purchase the 2020 Senior Notes from holders at a price of 101% of the principal amount of the notes, plus any accrued and unpaid interest to the date of repurchase.

The underwriting agreement provides that the obligations of the underwriters to purchase the new notes included in this offering are subject to approval of legal matters by counsel and to other conditions. The underwriters are obligated to purchase all of the new notes if they purchase any of the new notes.

The underwriters propose to offer the new notes initially at the public offering price listed on the cover page of this prospectus supplement and may offer the new notes to certain dealers at that price less a concession not in excess of 0.375% of the principal amount per new note. After the initial offering of the new notes to the public, the public offering price and other selling terms to dealers may be changed. All compensation received by the underwriters in connection with this offering will not exceed 8% of the gross offering proceeds.

We estimate that our total expenses of this offering, excluding the underwriting discounts, will be approximately $650,000.

In connection with this offering and in compliance with applicable law, the underwriters may engage in over-allotment, stabilizing and syndicate covering transactions and penalty bids in accordance with Regulation M under the Exchange Act.

• Over-allotment involves syndicate sales in excess of the offering size, which creates a syndicate short position.

• The underwriters may also effect transactions which stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the market price of the notes at levels above those which might otherwise prevail in the open market.

S-31

Such transactions may include placing bids for the notes or effecting purchases of the notes for the purpose of pegging, fixing or maintaining the price of the notes.

• Syndicate covering transactions involve purchases of the notes in the open market after the distribution has been completed in order to cover syndicate short positions.

• Penalty bids permit the representatives of the underwriters to reclaim a selling concession from a syndicate member when the notes sold by that syndicate member are purchased in a syndicate covering transaction to cover syndicate short positions.

These stabilizing transactions, syndicate covering transactions and penalty bids may have the effect of preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of the notes. They may also cause the price of the notes to be higher than it would otherwise be in the absence of these transactions. These transactions may be effected in the over-the-counter market or otherwise. The underwriters are not required to engage in any of these activities and such activities, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time.

Neither we nor any of the underwriters makes any representation or prediction as to the direction or magnitude of any effect that the transactions described above may have on the price of the notes. In addition, neither we nor any of the underwriters makes any representation that the underwriters will engage in such transactions or that such transactions, once commenced, will not be discontinued without notice.

We and the underwriters are offering to sell the new notes, and seeking offers to buy the new notes, only in jurisdictions where such offers and sales are permitted.

The outstanding notes were first issued in January 2012 as new securities. The notes will not be listed on any securities exchange or included in any automated quotation system. The underwriters have advised us that, following completion of the offering of the new notes, they intend to continue to make a market in the notes, as permitted by applicable law. They are not obligated, however, to make a market in the notes, and may discontinue any market-making activities at any time without notice, in their sole discretion. If any of the underwriters ceases to act as a market-maker for the notes for any reason, there can be no assurance that another firm or person will make a market in the notes. Accordingly, we cannot assure you as to the continuance or liquidity of any market for these notes.

We and certain of our affiliates have agreed to indemnify the underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or to contribute to payments the underwriters may be required to make because of any of these liabilities.

Relationships with Underwriters

In the ordinary course of their various business activities, the underwriters and certain of their affiliates may make or hold a broad array of investments and actively trade debt and equity securities (or related derivative securities) and financial instruments (including bank loans) for their own account and for the accounts of their customers, and such investment and securities activities may involve securities and/or instruments of the issuer or its affiliates. If the underwriters or their affiliates have a lending relationship with us, certain of those underwriters or their affiliates routinely hedge, and certain other of the underwriters or their affiliates may hedge, their credit exposure to us consistent with their customary risk management policies. Typically, the underwriters and their affiliates would hedge such exposure by

S-32

entering into transactions which consist of either the purchase of credit default swaps or the creation of short positions in our securities or the securities of our affiliates, including potentially the notes offered hereby. Any such credit default swaps or short positions could adversely affect future trading prices of the notes offered hereby. The underwriters and certain of their affiliates may also communicate independent investment recommendations, market color or trading ideas and/or publish or express independent research views in respect of such securities or instruments and may at any time hold, or recommend to clients that they acquire, long and/or short positions in such securities and instruments.

The underwriters and their affiliates have performed investment and commercial banking and advisory services for us and our affiliates from time to time for which they have received customary fees and expenses. The underwriters and their affiliates may, from time to time, engage in transactions with and perform services for us in the ordinary course of their business. As described in “Use of Proceeds,” all of the net proceeds of this offering will be used to repay borrowings under our bank credit facility. Because affiliates of all of the underwriters, except Global Hunter Securities, LLC, are lenders under our bank credit facility, these underwriters or their affiliates will receive a substantial portion of the proceeds of this offering (not including underwriting discounts) pursuant to the repayment of borrowings thereunder. In addition, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association serves as the administrative agent under our bank credit facility and certain other affiliates of the underwriters serve additional roles under that facility, such as co-documentation agent and co-syndication agent, for which they have received customary fees and reimbursement of expenses. Nonetheless, in accordance with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority Rule 5121, the appointment of a qualified independent underwriter is not necessary in connection with this offering because the notes offered hereby are interests in a direct participation program. Additionally, the trustee under the indenture is an affiliate of U.S. Bancorp Investments, Inc.

EXPERTS

The consolidated financial statements and management’s assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting (which is included in Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting) incorporated in this prospectus by reference to the Annual Report on Form 10-K/A dated August 23, 2013, of BreitBurn Energy Partners L.P. for the year ended December 31, 2012 have been so incorporated in reliance on the report, which contains an explanatory paragraph on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting due to the exclusion from management’s assessment of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012 of the oil and natural gas properties acquired from American Energy Operations, Inc., CrownRock, L.P., Lynden USA Inc., and Piedra Energy I, LLC of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, given on the authority of said firm as experts in auditing and accounting.

The audited Statement of Revenues and Direct Operating Expenses for the year ended December 31, 2011 relating to the assets acquired pursuant to the November 21, 2012 Contribution Agreement with American Energy Operations, Inc., included as Exhibit 99.2 in BreitBurn Energy Partners L.P.’s Current Report on Form 8-K dated December 6, 2012, has been so incorporated by reference in this prospectus in reliance on the report of Hutchinson and Bloodgood, LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm given on the authority of said firm as experts in auditing and accounting.

The statements of revenues and direct operating expenses of certain oil and gas producing properties and the related gathering and processing assets located in the Postle and Northeast Hardesty fields in Texas County, Oklahoma of Whiting Oil and Gas Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Whiting Petroleum Corporation, for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2012, incorporated in this Prospectus by reference from BreitBurn Energy Partners L.P.’s Current Report on Form 8-K/A dated August 29, 2013, have been audited by Deloitte & Touche LLP, independent auditors, as stated in their report incorporated herein by reference, and are incorporated in reliance upon the report of such firm given upon their authority as experts in accounting and auditing.

With respect to the unaudited interim financial information for the periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, which is incorporated herein by reference, Deloitte & Touche LLP, independent auditors, have applied limited procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America for a review of such information. However, as stated in their report included in BreitBurn Energy Partners L.P.’s Current Report on Form 8-K/A dated August 29, 2013 and incorporated by reference herein, they did not audit and they do not express an opinion on that interim financial information. Accordingly, the degree of reliance on their report on such information should be restricted in light of the limited nature of the review procedures applied. Deloitte & Touche LLP is not subject to the liability provisions of Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933 for their report on the unaudited interim financial information because that report is not a “report” or a “part” of the Registration Statement prepared or certified by an accountant within the meaning of Sections 7 and 11 of the Securities Act of 1933.

BREITBURN ENERGY PARTNERS L.P.

BREITBURN FINANCE CORPORATION

7.875% Senior Notes due 2022

We may offer, from time to time, additional amounts of our existing 7.875% Senior Notes due 2022, which we sometimes call the “original notes” or the “existing notes.” Any additional notes will be issued under the indenture pursuant to which we issued the original notes on January 13, 2012. Further, any additional notes that we may issue will be treated as a single class with the original notes for all purposes under the indenture, including waivers, amendments, redemptions and offers to purchase. We sometimes refer to the original notes and the additional notes collectively as the “notes.”

The notes will mature April 15, 2022 and will pay interest semi-annually in cash in arrears on April 15 and October 15. The notes will be our senior unsecured obligations and will rank equal in right of payment with all of our existing and future senior indebtedness and senior in right of payment to any future subordinated indebtedness. The notes will be guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by all of our existing and future domestic subsidiaries (other than the co-issuer) that guarantee indebtedness under our bank credit facility. The guarantees will rank equal in right of payment with all of the existing and future senior indebtedness of our subsidiary guarantors. The notes and guarantees will be effectively subordinated in right of payment to any existing or future secured indebtedness, including indebtedness under our bank credit facility, to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such indebtedness.

We may redeem all or part of the notes at any time on or after January 15, 2017. In addition, before January 15, 2015, we may redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the notes with the net cash proceeds of certain equity offerings. At any time prior to January 15, 2017, we may also redeem the notes, in whole or in part, at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes plus a “make-whole” premium. If we undergo a change of control, we may be required to offer to purchase the notes from the holders. Redemption and repurchase prices are set forth under “Description of Notes — Optional Redemption” and “— Repurchase at the Option of Holders.”

We may offer and sell additional notes to or through one or more underwriters, dealers and agents on a continuous or delayed basis. This prospectus generally describes the terms of the notes; however, the principal amount of any additional notes that we may offer, together with their offering price and initial interest payment date and the specific manner in which we will offer them, will be included in a supplement to this prospectus relating to that offering.

You should carefully read this prospectus and any prospectus supplement before you invest. You also should read the documents we have referred you to in the “Where You Can Find More Information” section of this prospectus for information on us and our financial statements. This prospectus may not be used to consummate sales of notes unless accompanied by a prospectus supplement.

Investing in our notes involves risks. Limited partnerships are inherently different from corporations. You should carefully consider each of the risk factors described under “Risk Factors” beginning on page 6 of this prospectus and in the applicable prospectus supplement and in the documents incorporated herein and therein before you make an investment in our notes.

Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any other states securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or determined if this prospectus is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

• the competitiveness of alternate energy sources or product substitutes;

• technological developments;

• changes in governmental regulation or taxation of the oil and natural gas industry, including changes potentially leading to increased costs and limited development opportunities;

• changes in governmental regulation of derivatives;

• developments in oil-producing and natural gas-producing countries potentially having significant effects on the price of oil and gas;

• the effects of changed accounting rules under generally accepted accounting principles promulgated by rule-setting bodies;

• the inability to execute strategic plans, expectations and objectives for future operations;

• the inability to realize the expected financial or strategic goals of acquisitions; and

The Offering

The following is a brief summary of some of the terms of the notes. Certain of the terms described below are subject to important limitations and exceptions. See “Description of Notes” for a more detailed description of the terms of the notes.

Issuers BreitBurn Energy Partners L.P. and BreitBurn Finance Corporation.

BreitBurn Finance Corporation, a Delaware corporation, is a wholly owned subsidiary of BreitBurn Energy Partners L.P. that has been organized for the sole purpose of being a co-issuer of certain of our indebtedness, including the notes. BreitBurn Finance Corporation has no operations and no revenue other than as may be incidental to its activities as co-issuer of our indebtedness.

Notes Offered The notes being offered by this prospectus are additional debt securities under an indenture pursuant to which we have previously issued $250,000,000 million in aggregate principal amount of our 7.875% Senior Notes due 2022. The principal amount of any additional notes we issue will be specified in the prospectus supplement relating to that offering. The additional notes and the original notes issued on January 13, 2012 will be treated as a single class of debt securities under the indenture.

Maturity April 15, 2022.

Interest Interest on the additional notes will accrue at a rate of 7.875% per annum (calculated using a 360-day year).

Interest on the additional notes will be payable on April 15 and October 15 of each year, beginning on April 15, 2012, and will accrue from the issue date of the additional notes.

Ranking The additional notes will be our senior unsecured obligations. Accordingly, they will rank:

• equal in right of payment with all of our existing and future senior indebtedness, including our outstanding 8.625% Senior Notes due 2020;

• effectively junior in right of payment to all of our existing and future secured indebtedness, including indebtedness under our bank credit facility, to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such indebtedness;

• structurally junior in right of payment to all existing and future indebtedness and other liabilities, including trade payables, of any non-guarantor subsidiaries (other than indebtedness and liabilities owed to us, if any); and

• senior in right of payment to any future subordinated indebtedness.

3

Subsidiary Guarantees The additional notes will be jointly and severally guaranteed by all of our existing and future domestic subsidiaries (other than the co-issuer) that guarantee indebtedness under our bank credit facility, who we refer to as “our subsidiary guarantors.” The subsidiary guarantees will rank:

• equal in right of payment with all of the existing and future senior indebtedness of our subsidiary guarantors, including their guarantees of our outstanding 8.625% Senior Notes due 2020 and our other senior indebtedness;

• effectively junior in right of payment to all existing and future secured indebtedness of our subsidiary guarantors to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such indebtedness;

• structurally junior in right of payment to all existing and future indebtedness and other liabilities, including trade payables, of any non-guarantor subsidiaries (other than indebtedness and other liabilities owed to our subsidiary guarantors, if any); and

• senior in right of payment to any future subordinated indebtedness of our subsidiary guarantors.

Optional Redemption We will have the option to redeem the additional notes, in whole or in part, at any time on or after January 15, 2017 at the redemption prices described in this prospectus under the heading “Description of Notes — Optional Redemption,” together with any accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption.

Prior to January 15, 2017, we may redeem the notes, in whole or in part, at a “make-whole” redemption price described under “Description of Notes — Optional Redemption,” together with any accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption.

Equity Offering Optional Redemption Prior to January 15, 2015, 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 107.875% of the principal amount of the notes, plus any accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption, if at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of the notes issued under the indenture remains outstanding after such redemption and the redemption occurs within 120 days of the date of the closing of such equity offering.

Change of Control If a change of control event occurs, each holder of additional 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 to the date of repurchase.

Certain Covenants The indenture governing the additional notes will contain covenants that, among other things, will limit our ability and the ability of our restricted subsidiaries to:

• pay distributions on, purchase or redeem our units or redeem our subordinated debt;

4

• make investments;

• incur or guarantee additional indebtedness or issue preferred units;

• create certain liens;

• sell assets;

• consolidate, merge or transfer all or substantially all of our assets;

• enter into agreements that restrict distributions or other payments from our restricted subsidiaries to us;

• engage in transactions with affiliates; and

• create unrestricted subsidiaries.

These covenants are subject to important exceptions and qualifications that are described under “Description of Notes.”

If the notes achieve an investment grade rating from each of Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. and Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services, many of these covenants will terminate.

Risk Factors See “Risk Factors” for a discussion of certain factors you should carefully consider before deciding to invest in the notes.

RISK FACTORS

Investing in our notes involves risk. Before making an investment decision, you should carefully consider the following risk factors and all of the other information included, or incorporated by reference, in this prospectus or to which we refer you, including the risk factors and other cautionary statements described under the heading “Risk Factors” included in Item 1A of Part I of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 and, if applicable, in Item 1A of Part II of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2012 and in our Current Reports on Form 8-K, each of which is incorporated herein by reference. Additional risk factors may be included in a prospectus supplement relating to a particular offering of securities. If any of these risks were to occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be adversely affected. In that case, you could lose all or part of your investment. Also, please read “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”

Risks Related to Investing in the Notes

Our bank credit facility has substantial restrictions and financial covenants that may restrict our business and financing activities and our ability to make payments on the notes.

As of March 31, 2012, we had approximately $85 million in borrowings outstanding under our bank credit facility. Our bank credit facility limits the amounts we can borrow to a borrowing base amount, which is determined by the lenders in their sole discretion based on their valuation of our proved reserves and their internal criteria. For example, in April 2009, our borrowing base was decreased from $900 million to $760 million as a result of a scheduled borrowing base redetermination; in June 2009, it was decreased to $735 million as a result of the monetization of $25 million in crude oil and natural gas derivative contracts; and in July 2009, it was decreased to $732 million as a result of the sale of the Lazy JL Field. The borrowing base is redetermined semi-annually, and the available borrowing amount could be further decreased as a result of such redeterminations. Decreases in the available borrowing amount could result from declines in oil and natural gas prices, operating difficulties or increased costs, declines in reserves, lending requirements or regulations, or certain other circumstances. Our borrowing base was increased to $735 million in May 2010, in connection with an amendment to our bank credit facility. In October 2011, our borrowing base was redetermined at $850 million, primarily as a result of an increase in oil and natural gas reserves due to the re-evaluation of existing reserves and the additional reserves associated with our acquisition of crude oil properties in the Powder River Basin in eastern Wyoming. Upon completion of the offering of the original notes on January 13, 2012, our borrowing base was automatically reduced from $850 million to $787.5 million. In April 2012, our borrowing base was redetermined and increased to $850 million. Our next borrowing base redetermination will be in October 2012. A future decrease in our borrowing base could be substantial and could be to a level below our outstanding borrowings. Outstanding borrowings in excess of the borrowing base are required to be repaid in five equal monthly payments, or we are required to pledge other oil and natural gas properties as additional collateral, within 30 days following notice from the administrative agent of the new or adjusted borrowing base. If we do not have sufficient funds on hand for repayment, we may be required to seek a waiver or amendment from our lenders, refinance our bank credit facility or sell assets or debt or common units. We may not be able to obtain such financing or complete such transactions on terms acceptable to us, or at all. Failure to make the required repayment could result in a default under our bank credit facility, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The operating and financial restrictions and covenants in our bank credit facility restrict, and any future financing agreements likely will restrict, our ability to finance future operations or capital needs or to engage, expand or pursue our business activities or to pay distributions. Our bank credit facility restricts, and any future bank credit facility likely will restrict, our ability to:

• incur indebtedness;

• grant liens;

• make certain acquisitions and investments;

6

• lease equipment;

• make capital expenditures above specified amounts;

• redeem or prepay other debt;

• make distributions to unitholders or repurchase units;

• enter into transactions with affiliates; and

• enter into a merger, consolidation, or sale of assets.

Our bank credit facility restricts our ability to make distributions to unitholders or repurchase units unless after giving effect to such distribution or repurchase no Event of Default (as defined in our bank credit facility) exists. While we currently are not restricted by our bank credit facility from declaring a distribution as we were in April 2009, we may again be restricted from paying a distribution in the future.

We also are required to comply with certain financial covenants and ratios under our bank credit facility. Our ability to comply with these restrictions and covenants in the future is uncertain and will be affected by the levels of cash flow from our operations and events or circumstances beyond our control. In light of persistent weak economic conditions and the deterioration of natural gas prices, our ability to comply with these covenants may be impaired. If we violate any of the restrictions, covenants, ratios or tests in our bank credit facility, a significant portion of our indebtedness may become immediately due and payable, our ability to make distributions will be inhibited and our lenders’ commitment to make further loans to us may terminate. We might not have, or be able to obtain, sufficient funds to make these accelerated payments. In addition, our obligations under our bank credit facility are secured by substantially all of our assets, and if we are unable to repay our indebtedness under our bank credit facility, the lenders can seek to foreclose on our assets.

Restrictive covenants under our indentures may adversely affect our operations.

The indentures governing the notes contain, and any future indebtedness we incur may contain, a number of restrictive covenants that will impose significant operating and financial restrictions on us, including restrictions on our ability to, among other things:

• sell assets, including equity interests in our restricted subsidiaries;

• pay distributions on, redeem or repurchase our units or redeem or repurchase our subordinated debt;

• make investments;

• incur or guarantee additional indebtedness or issue preferred units;

• create or incur certain liens;

• enter into agreements that restrict distributions 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

• engage in certain business activities.

As a result of these covenants, we are limited in the manner in which we conduct our business, and we may be unable to engage in favorable business activities or finance future operations or capital needs.

A failure to comply with the covenants in the indentures governing the notes or any future indebtedness could result in an event of default under the indenture governing the notes, the indenture governing our existing notes or the future indebtedness, which, if not cured or waived, could have a material adverse effect on our

7

business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, complying with these covenants may also cause us to take actions that are not favorable to holders of the notes and may make it more difficult for us to successfully execute our business strategy and compete against companies who are not subject to such restrictions.

Our ability to access the capital and credit markets to raise capital on favorable terms will be affected by our debt level and by any disruptions in the capital and credit markets.

The cost of raising money in the debt and equity capital markets has increased substantially, while the availability of funds from those markets generally has diminished significantly. Also, as a result of concerns about the stability of financial markets and the solvency of counterparties specifically, the cost of obtaining money from the credit markets generally has increased as some major financial institutions have consolidated and others may consolidate in the future, and some lenders may increase interest rates, enact tighter lending standards, refuse to refinance existing debt at maturity on favorable terms or at all and may reduce or cease to provide funding to borrowers.

We may not be able to generate enough cash flow to meet our debt obligations.

We expect our earnings and cash flow to vary significantly from year to year due to the cyclical nature of our industry. As a result, the amount of debt that we can manage in some periods may not be appropriate for us in other periods. Additionally, our future cash flow may be insufficient to meet our debt obligations and commitments, including the notes. Any insufficiency could negatively impact our business. A range of economic, competitive, business and industry factors will affect our future financial performance, and, as a result, our ability to generate cash flow from operations and to pay our debt, including the notes. Many of these factors, such as oil and natural gas prices, economic and financial conditions in our industry and the global economy or competitive initiatives of our competitors, are beyond our control.

If we do not generate enough cash flow from operations to satisfy our debt obligations, we may have to undertake alternative financing plans, such as:

• refinancing or restructuring our debt;

• selling assets;

• reducing or delaying capital investments; or

• seeking to raise additional capital.

However, we cannot assure you that undertaking alternative financing plans, if necessary, would allow us to meet our debt obligations. Our inability to generate sufficient cash flow to satisfy our debt obligations, including our obligations under the notes, or to obtain alternative financing, could materially and adversely affect our ability to make payments on the notes and our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

We distribute all of our available cash to our unitholders after reserves are established by our General Partner, and we are not required to accumulate cash for the purpose of meeting our future obligations to our noteholders, which may limit the cash available to service the notes.

Subject to the limitations on restricted payments contained in the indenture governing the notes offered hereby and in our bank credit facility, our partnership agreement requires us to distribute all of our “available cash” each quarter to our unitholders. “Available cash” is defined in our partnership agreement, and it generally means, for each fiscal quarter, all cash and cash equivalents on the date of determination of available cash for that quarter, less the amount of any cash reserves established by our General Partner to:

• provide for the proper conduct of our business;

• comply with applicable law, the terms of any of our debt instruments or other agreements; or

8

• provide funds for distributions to our unitholders and to our General Partner for any one or more of the next four quarters.

As a result, we do not expect to accumulate significant amounts of cash. Depending on the timing and amount of our cash distributions, these distributions could significantly reduce the cash available to us in subsequent periods to make payments on the notes.

The notes and the guarantees are unsecured and effectively subordinated to our and our subsidiary guarantors’ existing and future secured indebtedness.

The notes and the guarantees are general unsecured senior obligations ranking effectively junior in right of payment to all existing and future secured debt of ours and that of each subsidiary guarantor, respectively, including obligations under our bank credit facility, to the extent of the value of the collateral securing the debt. As of March 31, 2012, we had approximately $85 million of senior secured indebtedness outstanding under our bank credit facility, to which the notes will be effectively subordinated, and approximately $702.5 million of additional borrowing capacity under our bank credit facility.

If we or a subsidiary guarantor is declared bankrupt, becomes insolvent or is liquidated or reorganized, any secured debt of ours or of any subsidiary guarantor will be entitled to be paid in full from our assets or the assets of such guarantor, as applicable, securing that debt before any payment may be made with respect to the notes or the affected guarantees. Holders of the notes will participate ratably with all holders of our unsecured indebtedness that does not rank junior to the notes, including all of our other general creditors, based upon the respective amounts owed to each holder or creditor, in our remaining assets. In any of the foregoing events, we cannot assure you that there will be sufficient assets to pay amounts due on the notes. As a result, holders of the notes would likely receive less, ratably, than holders of secured indebtedness.

Our variable rate indebtedness subjects us to interest rate risk, which could cause our debt service obligations to increase significantly.

Borrowings under our bank credit facility bear interest at variable rates and expose us to interest rate risk. If interest rates increase and we are unable to effectively hedge our interest rate risk, our debt service obligations on the variable rate indebtedness would increase even if the amount borrowed remained the same, and our net income and cash available for servicing our indebtedness would decrease. As of March 31, 2012, if the variable interest rate increases or decreases by 0.25%, our annual debt service obligations on our variable rate debt would increase or decrease by approximately $0.2 million.

Our debt levels may limit our flexibility to obtain additional financing and pursue other business opportunities.

We have substantial indebtedness. As of March 31, 2012, we had total long-term debt of $633.7 million, net of $6.3 million unamortized discount on senior notes.

Our existing and future indebtedness could have important consequences to us and to the holders of the notes, including:

• our ability to obtain additional financing, if necessary, for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions or other purposes may be impaired or such financing may not be available on terms acceptable to us;

• covenants in our existing and future credit and debt arrangements will require us to meet financial tests that may affect our flexibility in planning for and reacting to changes in our business, including possible acquisition opportunities;

• our access to the capital markets may be limited;

9

• our borrowing costs may increase;

• we will need a substantial portion of our cash flow to make principal and interest payments on our indebtedness, reducing the funds that would otherwise be available for operations, future business opportunities and distributions to unitholders; and

• our debt level will make us more vulnerable than our competitors with less debt to competitive pressures or a downturn in our business or the economy generally.

Our ability to service our indebtedness will depend upon, among other things, our future financial and operating performance, which will be affected by prevailing economic conditions and financial, business, regulatory and other factors, some of which are beyond our control. If our operating results are not sufficient to service our current or future indebtedness, we will be forced to take actions such as reducing distributions, reducing or delaying business activities, acquisitions, investments and/or capital expenditures, selling assets, restructuring or refinancing our indebtedness, or seeking additional equity capital or bankruptcy protection. We may not be able to effect any of these remedies on satisfactory terms or at all.

Despite our and our subsidiaries’ current level of indebtedness, we may still be able to incur substantially more debt. This could further exacerbate the risks associated with our substantial indebtedness.

We and our subsidiaries may be able to incur substantial additional indebtedness in the future, subject to certain limitations, including under our bank credit facility and the notes offered hereby. For example, as of March 31, 2012, we had the ability to borrow up to approximately $787.5 million on a revolving basis under our bank credit facility. If new debt is added to our current debt levels, the related risks that we and our subsidiaries now face could intensify. Our level of indebtedness could, for instance, prevent us from engaging in transactions that might otherwise be beneficial to us or from making desirable capital expenditures. This could put us at a competitive disadvantage relative to other less leveraged competitors that have more cash flow to devote to their operations. In addition, the incurrence of additional indebtedness could make it more difficult to satisfy our existing financial obligations, including those relating to the notes.

We may not be able to fund a change of control offer.

In the event of a change of control, we will be required, subject to certain conditions, to offer to purchase all outstanding notes at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the date of purchase. The holders of our outstanding 8.625% Senior Notes due 2020 have substantially similar rights. If a change of control were to occur today, we would not have sufficient funds available to purchase all of the outstanding notes were they to be tendered in response to an offer made as a result of a change of control. We cannot assure you that we will have sufficient funds available to fulfill these obligations upon a change of control in the future. Furthermore, any Change of Control (as defined under our bank credit facility) would constitute an Event of Default (as defined in our bank credit facility), and we may not be able to obtain a waiver with respect to such default from the lenders under our bank credit facility at such time. See “Description of Notes.”

The change of control put right might not be enforceable.

The Chancery Court of Delaware has raised the possibility in a published decision that a change of control put right occurring as a result of a failure to have “continuing directors” comprising a majority of a board of directors may be unenforceable on public policy grounds.

Many of the covenants contained in the indenture will terminate if the notes are rated investment grade by both Standard & Poor’s and Moody’s and no default or event of default has occurred and is continuing.

Many of the covenants in the indenture governing the notes will terminate if the notes are rated investment grade by both Standard & Poor’s and Moody’s, provided that at such time no default or event of default has

10

occurred and is continuing. The covenants restrict, among other things, our ability to pay dividends, incur debt and enter into certain other transactions. There can be no assurance that the notes will ever be rated investment grade. However, termination of these covenants would allow us to engage in certain transactions that would not have been permitted while these covenants were in force, and the effects of any such transactions will be permitted to remain in place even if the notes are subsequently downgraded below investment grade. See “Description of Notes — Certain Covenants — Covenant Termination.”

A subsidiary guarantee could be voided if it constitutes a fraudulent transfer under U.S. bankruptcy or similar state law, which would prevent the holders of the notes from relying on that subsidiary to satisfy claims.

Under U.S. bankruptcy law and comparable provisions of state fraudulent transfer laws, our subsidiary guarantees can be voided, or claims under the subsidiary guarantees may be subordinated to all other debts of that subsidiary guarantor if, among other things, the subsidiary guarantor, at the time it incurred the indebtedness evidenced by its guarantee or, in some states, when payments become due under the guarantee, received less than reasonably equivalent value or fair consideration for the incurrence of the guarantee and:

• was insolvent or rendered insolvent by reason of such incurrence;

• 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 those debts as they mature.

A subsidiary guarantee of the notes may also be voided, without regard to the above factors, if a court finds that the subsidiary guarantor entered into the guarantee with the actual intent to hinder, delay or defraud its creditors.

A court would likely find that a subsidiary guarantor did not receive reasonably equivalent value or fair consideration for its guarantee if the subsidiary guarantor did not substantially benefit directly or indirectly from the issuance of the guarantees. If a court were to void a subsidiary guarantee, you would no longer have a claim against the subsidiary guarantor. Sufficient funds to repay the notes may not be available from other sources, including the remaining subsidiary guarantors, if any. In addition, the court might direct you to repay any amounts that you already received from the subsidiary guarantor.

The measures of insolvency for purposes of fraudulent transfer laws vary depending upon the governing law. Generally, a guarantor would be considered insolvent if:

• the sum of its debts, including contingent liabilities, is greater than the present fair saleable value of all its assets;

• the present fair saleable value of its assets is less than the amount that would be required to pay its probable liability on its existing debts, including contingent liabilities, as they become absolute and mature; or

• it could not pay its debts as they become due.

Each subsidiary guarantee contains a provision intended to limit the subsidiary guarantor’s liability to the maximum amount that it could incur without causing the incurrence of obligations under its subsidiary guarantee to be a fraudulent transfer. Such provision may not be effective to protect the subsidiary guarantees from being voided under bankruptcy law.

11

A financial failure by us or our subsidiaries may result in the assets of any or all of those entities becoming subject to the claims of all creditors of those entities.

A financial failure by us or our subsidiaries could affect payment of the notes if a bankruptcy court were to substantively consolidate us and our subsidiaries. If a bankruptcy court substantively consolidated us and our subsidiaries, the assets of each entity would become subject to the claims of creditors of all entities. This would expose holders of notes not only to the usual impairments arising from bankruptcy, but also to potential dilution of the amount ultimately recoverable because of the larger creditor base. Furthermore, forced restructuring of the notes could occur through the “cram-down” provisions of the bankruptcy code. Under these provisions, the notes could be restructured over your objections as to their general terms, primary interest rate and maturity.

Because we are a holding company, we are financially dependent on receiving distributions from our subsidiaries.

We are a holding company and our subsidiaries conduct all of our operations and own all of our assets. We have no significant assets other than the partnership interests, stock and other equity interests in our subsidiaries. As a result, our ability to make required payments on the notes will depend on the performance of our subsidiaries and their ability to distribute funds to us. Our rights and the rights of our creditors, including holders of the notes, to participate in the distribution of assets of any entity in which we own an equity interest will be subject to prior claims of such entity’s creditors upon such entity’s liquidation or reorganization. However, we may ourselves be a creditor with recognized claims against this entity, but our claims would still be subject to the prior claims of any secured creditor of this entity and of any holder of indebtedness of this entity that is senior to that held by us. Accordingly, a holder of our debt securities, including holders of the notes, may be deemed to be effectively subordinated to those claims.

Your ability to transfer the notes may be limited by the absence of a trading market.

We cannot assure you that an active trading market for the notes will exist, and we will have no obligation to create such a market. At the time of the private placement of the original notes, the initial purchasers advised us that they intended to make a market in the notes. The initial purchasers are not obligated, however, to make a market in the notes, and any market making may be discontinued at any time at their sole discretion. No assurance can be given as to the liquidity of or development of a trading market for the notes.

The liquidity of any trading market for the notes and the market price quoted for the notes will depend upon the number of holders of the notes, the overall market for high yield securities, our financial performance or prospects or the prospects for companies in our industry generally, the interest of securities dealers in making a market in the notes and other factors.

Risks Related to Our Structure

Our tax treatment depends on our status as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes as well as our not being subject to a material amount of entity-level taxation by individual states. If the Internal Revenue Service were to treat us as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes or we were to become subject to a material amount of entity-level taxation for state purposes, then our cash available for payment of principal and interest on the notes would be substantially reduced.

Despite the fact that we are a partnership under Delaware law, it is possible in certain circumstances for a publicly traded partnership such as ours to be treated as a corporation rather than a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Although we do not believe based upon our current operations that we should be so treated, a change in our business (or a change in current law) could cause us to be treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes or otherwise subject us to taxation as an entity.

If we were treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, we would pay U.S. federal income tax on our taxable income at the corporate tax rates, currently at a maximum rate of 35%, and would likely pay

12

state income tax at varying rates. Because a tax would be imposed on us as a corporation, our cash available for payment of principal and interest on the notes and our other debt obligations would be substantially reduced.

Current law may change so as to cause us to be treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes or otherwise subject us to entity-level taxation. At the federal level, legislation has recently been considered by members of Congress that would have eliminated partnership tax treatment for certain publicly traded partnerships. Although it does not appear that the legislation considered would have affected our tax treatment, we are unable to predict whether any of these changes, or other proposals, will be reconsidered or will ultimately be enacted. Any such changes could negatively impact the amount of cash available for payment on the notes and on our other debt obligations. At the state level, because of widespread state budget deficits and other reasons, several states are evaluating ways to subject partnerships to entity-level taxation through the imposition of state income, franchise and other forms of taxation. Imposition of any additional tax on us by any state will reduce the cash available for payments on the notes and on our other debt obligations.

USE OF PROCEEDS

Unless otherwise indicated to the contrary in an accompanying prospectus supplement, we will use the net proceeds from the sale of the notes covered by this prospectus for general partnership purposes, which may include debt repayment, future acquisitions, capital expenditures and additions to working capital.

Any specific allocation of the net proceeds of an offering of notes to a purpose will be determined at the time of the offering and will be described in a prospectus supplement.

RATIO OF EARNINGS TO FIXED CHARGES

The table below sets forth our ratio of earnings to fixed charges for the periods indicated on a consolidated historical basis. For purposes of determining the ratio of earnings to fixed charges, earnings are defined as earnings (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes, plus fixed charges. Fixed charges consist of net interest expense (inclusive of write-off of deferred financing costs, interest expense related to make whole premium charge, less gain from termination of interest rate swap agreements) on all indebtedness, the amortization of deferred financing costs and interest associated with operating leases.

DESCRIPTION OF NOTES

You can find the definitions of certain terms used in this description under the subheading “— Certain Definitions.” In this description, the term “Company,” “us,” “our” or “we” refers only to BreitBurn Energy Partners L.P. and not to any of its subsidiaries, the term “Finance Corp.” refers to BreitBurn Finance Corporation, and the term “Issuers” refers to the Company and Finance Corp. The 7.875% Senior Notes due 2022 offered hereby, which we refer to as the “new notes,” are an additional issuance of our 7.875% Senior Notes due 2022 and will be treated as a single class with the $450.0 million in aggregate principal amount of such notes currently outstanding, which we refer to as the “original notes,” originally issued in 2012. References to the “notes” in this section of the prospectus include both the original notes issued in 2012 and the new notes, unless the context otherwise requires.

The new notes will be issued and the original notes were issued under an indenture dated as of January 13, 2012, among BreitBurn Energy Partners L.P. and BreitBurn Finance Corporation, as issuers, the Guarantors (as defined below) party thereto and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee. The terms of the notes include those stated in the indenture and those made part of the indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act. You can find the definition of various terms used in this “Description of Notes” under “— Certain Definitions” below.

The following description is a summary of the material provisions of the indenture and notes. It does not restate those documents in their entirety. We urge you to read the indenture and the notes because they, and not this description, define the rights of Holders of the notes. Certain defined terms used in this description but not defined below under “— Certain Definitions” have the meanings assigned to them in the indenture.

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. Like the original notes, the new notes will:

• be general unsecured obligations of the Issuers;

• be equal in right of payment with all existing and future Senior Debt (as defined below) of either of the Issuers, including our outstanding 8.625% Senior Notes due 2020;

• be effectively junior in right of payment to any secured Indebtedness of either of the Issuers, including Indebtedness under the Credit Agreement, to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such Indebtedness;

• rank senior in right of payment to any future subordinated Indebtedness of either of the Issuers; and

• be unconditionally guaranteed by the Guarantors on a senior unsecured basis.

The Subsidiary Guarantees. The notes are currently guaranteed by all of the Company’s Subsidiaries (other than Finance Corp.) that guarantee borrowings under the Credit Agreement, which provides the Operating Partnership with a senior secured revolving credit facility.

Each guarantee of the new notes, like each guarantee of the original notes, will:

• be a general unsecured obligation of the Guarantor;

• be equal in right of payment with all existing and future Senior Debt of that Guarantor, including its guarantees of the outstanding 8.625% Senior Notes due 2020;

• rank effectively junior in right of payment to any secured Indebtedness of that Guarantor, including Indebtedness under the Credit Agreement, to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such Indebtedness; and

• rank senior in right of payment to any future subordinated Indebtedness of that Guarantor.

15

As of June 30, 2013, on a pro forma as adjusted basis to reflect this offering and our use of proceeds therefrom and the other transactions described under “Capitalization,” the Company and the Guarantors would have had:

• total Senior Debt (excluding obligations under letters of credit and hedges) of approximately $1.7 billion, consisting of the notes and the 2020 Senior Notes and approximately $736.4 million of secured revolving credit Senior Debt outstanding under the Credit Agreement;

• no indebtedness contractually subordinated to the notes or the guarantees, as applicable.

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

All of our existing Subsidiaries (other than Finance Corp.) guarantee the notes, except Utica. Under the circumstances described below under the subheading “— Certain Covenants — Additional Subsidiary Guarantees,” in the future, one or more of our newly-created or acquired Subsidiaries may not 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 current outstanding obligations to the holders of their debt and their trade creditors before they will be able to distribute any of their assets to us.

Utica owns interests in certain Michigan oil and gas leases that, as of June 30, 2013, had no associated production or proved reserves and a net book value of approximately $2.0 million. Currently, Utica has no Indebtedness and no revenues. We may seek to monetize Utica’s assets or its Equity Interests or to develop these assets either on our own or jointly with one or more other companies. In certain cases, we might be required to make significant additional Investments in Utica.

Currently, all of our Subsidiaries are “Restricted Subsidiaries,” except for Utica. However, under the circumstances described below under the subheading “— Certain Covenants — Designation of Restricted and Unrestricted Subsidiaries,” we will be permitted to designate certain of our other Subsidiaries as “Unrestricted Subsidiaries.” Our Unrestricted Subsidiaries will not be subject to many of the restrictive covenants in the indenture. Our Unrestricted Subsidiaries will not guarantee the notes.

We have a 24.5% limited partner interest and a 25.5% general partner interest in Wilderness Energy Services LP, which had a combined carrying value of $5.9 million at December 31, 2012. Wilderness Energy Services LP does not qualify as our “Subsidiary” for purposes of the indenture, and therefore, it is not subject to the restrictive covenants in the indenture and does not guarantee the notes.

Principal, Maturity and Interest

The Issuers have issued $450.0 million aggregate principal amount of notes and will issue the new notes from time to time in an unlimited aggregate principal amount. The prospectus supplement relating to the offering of the new notes states the aggregate principal amount of the new notes. Any offering of additional notes is subject to the covenant described below under the caption “— Certain Covenants — Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock.” The original notes and any additional notes subsequently issued under the indenture, together with the new notes, will be treated as a single class for all purposes under the indenture, including, without limitation, for waivers, amendments, redemptions and offers to purchase. The Issuers may issue notes only in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess of $2,000. The notes will mature on April 15, 2022.

Interest on the notes accrues at the rate of 7.875% per annum and is payable semi-annually in cash in arrears on April 15 and October 15. The Issuers will make each interest payment to the Holders of record on the April 1 and October 1 immediately preceding each interest payment date.

16

Interest on the notes will accrue from January 13, 2012 or, if interest has already been paid, from the date it was most recently paid, in the case of the original notes, and on the date indicated in the related prospectus supplement, in the case of the new notes. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months.

Methods of Receiving Payments on the Notes

If a Holder has given wire transfer instructions to the Issuers, the Issuers will pay all principal, interest and premium, if any, on that Holder’s notes in accordance with those instructions. All other payments on the 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 Issuers elect to make interest payments by check mailed to the Holders at their addresses set forth in the register of Holders.

Paying Agent and Registrar for the Notes

The trustee is acting as paying agent and registrar. The Issuers may change the paying agent or registrar without prior notice to the Holders of the notes, and the Company or any of its 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 Issuers, 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 Issuers are not required to transfer or exchange any note selected for redemption. Also, the Issuers are not required to transfer or exchange any note for a period of 15 days before a selection of notes to be redeemed.

Subsidiary Guarantees

Currently, all of our existing Subsidiaries, excluding Finance Corp. and Utica, have guaranteed the notes on a senior unsecured basis. In the future, the Restricted Subsidiaries of the Company will be required to guarantee the notes under the circumstances described under “— Certain Covenants — Additional Subsidiary Guarantees.” These Subsidiary Guarantees are 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, although this limitation may not be effective to prevent the Subsidiary Guarantees from being voided in bankruptcy. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Investing in the Notes — A subsidiary guarantee could be voided if it constitutes a fraudulent transfer under U.S. bankruptcy or similar state law, which would prevent the holders of the notes from relying on that subsidiary to satisfy claims” in the prospectus supplement relating to the new notes.

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 Guarantor) unconditionally assumes, pursuant to a supplemental indenture substantially in the form specified in the indenture, all the obligations of that Guarantor under the notes, the indenture and its Subsidiary Guarantee on terms set forth therein; or

17

(b) such transaction complies with the “Asset Sales” provisions of the indenture.

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 that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company, if the sale or other disposition complies with the “Asset Sales” provisions of the indenture;

(2) in connection with any sale or other disposition of Capital Stock of that Guarantor to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company, if the sale or other disposition complies with the “Asset Sales” provisions of the indenture and the Guarantor ceases to be a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company as a result of the sale or other disposition;

(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;

(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;”

(5) upon the liquidation or dissolution of such Guarantor, provided no Default or Event of Default has occurred that is continuing; or

(6) at such time as such Guarantor ceases both (x) to guarantee any other Indebtedness of either of the Issuers and any other Guarantor and (y) to be an obligor with respect to any Indebtedness under any Credit Facility.

See “— Asset Sales.”

Optional Redemption

At any time prior to January 15, 2015, the Issuers may on any one or more occasions redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the notes issued under the indenture, at a redemption price of 107.875% 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 the 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 each such Equity Offering.

On and after January 15, 2017, the Issuers may redeem all or a part of the notes, at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount) set forth below, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the notes to be 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 January 15 of the years indicated below:

Year	Percentages
2017		103.938	%
2018		102.625	%
2019		101.313	%
2020 and thereafter		100.000	%

Prior to January 15, 2017, the Issuers may redeem all or part of the notes, at a redemption price equal to the sum of:

(1) the principal amount thereof, plus

(2) the Make Whole Premium at the redemption date,

18

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).

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 $2,000 or less can be redeemed in part. Notices of optional redemption will be mailed by first class mail at least 30 but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder of notes to be redeemed at its registered address, except that optional 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, except that any redemption pursuant to the first paragraph under this “— Optional Redemption” section, may, at the Company’s discretion, be subject to completion of the related Equity Offering.

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 of notes upon cancellation of the original note.

Notes called for redemption become due on the date fixed for redemption, and at the redemption price. 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 “— 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, unless the Issuers have previously or concurrently exercised their right to redeem all of the notes as described under “— Optional Redemption,” each Holder of notes will have the right to require the Company to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess of $2,000) of that Holder’s notes pursuant to a cash tender offer (the “Change of Control Offer”) on the terms set forth in the indenture. In the Change of Control Offer, the Company will offer a payment in cash (the “Change of Control Payment”) equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of notes repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the notes repurchased, to the date of settlement (the “Change of Control Settlement 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 Settlement Date. Within 30 days following any Change of Control, unless the Issuers have previously or concurrently exercised their right to redeem all of the notes as described under “— Optional Redemption,” 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 on the Change of Control Settlement 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.

19

The Company will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act 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 or before the Change of Control Settlement 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 after such acceptance, on the Change of Control Settlement 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 Settlement Date, the paying agent will mail to each Holder of notes 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 The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), in New York, New York), 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, however, that each new note will be in a principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess of $2,000. The Company will publicly announce the results of the Change of Control Offer on or as soon as practicable after the Change of Control Settlement Date.

The Credit Agreement provides that certain change of control events with respect to the Company would constitute an event of default thereunder, entitling the lenders, among other things, to accelerate the maturity of all Indebtedness outstanding thereunder. Any future credit agreements or other agreements relating to Indebtedness to which the Company or any Guarantor becomes a party may contain similar restrictions and provisions. The indenture provides that, prior to complying with any of the provisions of this “Change of Control” covenant, but in any event no later than the Change of Control Settlement Date, the Company or any Guarantor must either repay all of its other outstanding Senior Debt or obtain the requisite consents, if any, under all agreements governing such Senior Debt to permit the repurchase of notes required by this covenant.

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 takeover, 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.

A Change of Control Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control, and conditioned upon the occurrence of the Change of Control, if a definitive agreement is in place for the Change of Control at the time of making 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

20

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 of notes 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 properties or assets of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries taken as a whole to another Person or group may be uncertain.

In the event that Holders of not less than 90% of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding notes accept a Change of Control Offer and the Company purchases all of the notes held by such Holders, the Company will have the right, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice, given not more than 30 days following the purchase pursuant to the Change of Control Offer described above, to redeem all of the notes that remain outstanding following such purchase at a redemption price equal to the Change of Control Payment plus, to the extent not included in the Change of Control Payment, accrued and unpaid interest on the notes that remain outstanding, to the date of redemption (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).

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 a 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 officers’ certificate delivered to the trustee or (b) the Company’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 officers’ certificate delivered to the trustee; and

(3) at least 75% of the aggregate consideration received by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries in the Asset Sale and all other Asset Sales since the date of the indenture is in the form of cash. 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 any Restricted Subsidiary’s most recent balance sheet, of the Company or such 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 a customary novation 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 Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee that are, within 90 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 360 days after the receipt of any Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale, the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary may apply those Net Proceeds at its option to any combination of the following:

(1) to repay Senior Debt;

(2) to invest in Additional Assets; or

(3) to make capital expenditures in respect of the Company’s or its Restricted Subsidiaries’ Oil and Gas Business.

Pending the final application of any Net Proceeds, the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary may 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.”

21

On the 361st day after the Asset Sale (or, at the Company’s option, any earlier date), if the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds then exceeds $20.0 million, the Company will make an Asset Sale Offer to all Holders of notes, 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 the 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 or any Restricted Subsidiary may use those Excess Proceeds for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by the indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of notes and other pari passu Indebtedness tendered into 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 Exchange Act 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 Sales” 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 Sales” 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 (including, without limitation, any payment in connection with any merger or consolidation involving the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries) 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 Guarantees (excluding any intercompany Indebtedness between or among the Company and any of its Restricted Subsidiaries), except a payment of interest or principal at 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 (except a Reporting 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 (the “Trailing Four Quarters”) is not less than 2.25 to 1.0, such Restricted Payment, together with the aggregate

22

amount of all other Restricted Payments made by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries (excluding Restricted Payments permitted by clauses (2), (3), (4), (5), (6) and (7) 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 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 Capital Stock of Persons engaged primarily in the Oil and Gas Business or long-term assets that are used or useful in the Oil and Gas Business to the extent acquired in consideration of Equity Interests of the Company (other than Disqualified Stock)) after the Prior Issue Date 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 after the Prior Issue Date 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 the Prior Issue Date is sold for cash or otherwise liquidated or repaid for cash, the cash return of capital with respect to such Restricted Investment (less the cost of disposition, if any), 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 for any period commencing on or after the Prior Issue Date (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 Trailing Four Quarters is less than 2.25 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), (5), (6) and (7) 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 units of the Company, plus the related distribution to the General Partner), is less than the sum, without duplication, of:

(a) $90.0 million less the aggregate amount of all prior Restricted Payments made by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries pursuant to this clause (2)(a) since the Prior Issue Date, plus

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

So long as no Default (except a Reporting Default) or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would be caused thereby (except with respect to clause (1) below under which the payment of a distribution or dividend is permitted), 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 purchase, redemption, defeasance or other acquisition or retirement 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

23

Restricted Subsidiary of the Company) of, Equity Interests of the Company (other than Disqualified Stock), with a sale being deemed substantially concurrent if such purchase, redemption, defeasance or other acquisition or retirement occurs not more than 120 days after such sale; provided, however, that the amount of any such net cash proceeds that are utilized for any such purchase, redemption, defeasance or other acquisition or retirement will be excluded (or deducted, if included) from the calculation of Available Cash and Incremental Funds;

(3) the purchase, redemption, defeasance or other acquisition or retirement 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;

(5) the purchase, redemption or other acquisition or retirement for value of any Equity Interests of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company pursuant to any director or employee equity subscription agreement or equity option agreement or other employee benefit plan or to satisfy obligations under any Equity Interests appreciation rights or option plan or similar arrangement; provided, however, that the aggregate price paid for all such purchased, redeemed, acquired or retired Equity Interests may not exceed $5.0 million in any calendar year, with any portion of such $5.0 million amount that is unused in any calendar year to be carried forward to successive calendar years and added to such amount;

(6) the purchase, repurchase, redemption or other acquisition or retirement for value of Equity Interests deemed to occur upon the exercise of unit options, warrants, incentives, rights to acquire Equity Interests or other convertible securities if such Equity Interests represent a portion of the exercise or exchange price thereof, and any purchase, repurchase, redemption or other acquisition or retirement for value of Equity Interests made in lieu of withholding taxes in connection with any exercise or exchange of unit options, warrants, incentives or rights to acquire Equity Interests; or

(7) the purchase, repurchase, redemption or other acquisition or retirement for value of Equity Interests of the Company in exchange for Equity Interests or properties or assets of Utica.

The amount of all Restricted Payments (other than cash) will be the fair market value, on the date of the Restricted Payment, of the Restricted Investment proposed to be made or 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, except that the fair market value of any non-cash dividend or distribution paid within 60 days after the date of its declaration shall be determined as of such date. The fair market value of any Restricted Investment, assets or securities that are required to be valued by this covenant will be determined, in the case of amounts under $20.0 million, by an officer of the General Partner and, in the case of amounts over $20.0 million, by the Board of Directors of the Company, whose determination shall be evidenced by a Board Resolution. Not later than the date of making any Restricted Payment (excluding any Restricted Payment described in the preceding clause (2), (3), (4), (5), (6) or (7)) the Company will deliver to the trustee an officers’ certificate stating that such Restricted Payment is permitted and setting forth the basis upon which the calculations required by this “Restricted Payments” covenant were computed.

Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred 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); the Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, issue any Disqualified Stock; and the Company will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to issue any other preferred securities; provided, however, that the Company and any of its Restricted Subsidiaries may incur Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt) or issue Disqualified Stock, and any Restricted Subsidiary may issue other preferred securities, if, for the Company’s most recently ended

24

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 or other preferred securities are issued, the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio would have been at least 2.25 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 or other preferred securities 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 or the issuance of any Disqualified Stock described in clause (13) below (collectively, “Permitted Debt”) or the issuance of any preferred securities described in clause (11) below:

(1) the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of additional Indebtedness under one or more Credit Facilities, provided that, after giving effect to any such incurrence, the aggregate principal amount of all Indebtedness incurred 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) and then outstanding does not exceed the greater of (a) $1,500 million or (b) $1,100 million plus 35.0% of the Company’s Adjusted Consolidated Net Tangible Assets;

(2) the incurrence by the Company or its Restricted Subsidiaries of the Existing Indebtedness;

(3) the incurrence by the Company and the Guarantors of Indebtedness represented by (a) the original notes and the related Subsidiary Guarantees issued on the date of the indenture and (b) the Exchange Notes and the related Subsidiary Guarantees issued pursuant to any registration rights agreement;

(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, including all Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness incurred to extend, refinance, renew, replace, defease or refund any Indebtedness incurred pursuant to this clause (4), provided that after giving effect to any such incurrence, the principal amount of all Indebtedness incurred pursuant to this clause (4) and then outstanding does not exceed the greater of (a) $25.0 million or (b) 2.5% of the Company’s Adjusted Consolidated Net Tangible Assets at such time;

(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, extend, refinance, renew, replace, defease or refund 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 that is neither the Company nor a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company 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);

25

(7) the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of obligations under Hedging Contracts;

(8) 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;

(9) the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of obligations relating to net Hydrocarbon balancing positions arising in the ordinary course of business and consistent with past practice;

(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);

(11) the issuance by any of the Company’s Restricted Subsidiaries to the Company or to any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of any preferred securities; provided, however, that:

(a) any subsequent issuance or transfer of Equity Interests that results in any such preferred securities being held by a Person other than the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company; and

(b) any sale or other transfer of any such preferred securities to a Person that is not either the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company shall be deemed, in each case, to constitute an issuance of such preferred securities by such Restricted Subsidiary that was not permitted by this clause (11);

(12) the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of liability in respect of the Indebtedness of any Unrestricted Subsidiary of the Company or any Joint Venture but only to the extent that such liability is the result of the Company’s or any such Restricted Subsidiary’s being a general partner of such Unrestricted Subsidiary or Joint Venture and not as guarantor of such Indebtedness and provided that, after giving effect to any such incurrence, the aggregate principal amount of all Indebtedness incurred under this clause (12) and then outstanding does not exceed $25.0 million;

(13) Permitted Acquisition Indebtedness; and

(14) the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of additional Indebtedness, provided that, after giving effect to any such incurrence, the aggregate principal amount of all Indebtedness incurred under this clause (14) and then outstanding does not exceed the greater of (a) $50.0 million or (b) 5.0% of the Company’s Adjusted Consolidated Net Tangible Assets.

For purposes of determining compliance with this “Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock” covenant, 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 (14) 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. Any Indebtedness under Credit Facilities on the date of the indenture shall be considered incurred under the first paragraph of this covenant.

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, provided, in each such case, that the amount thereof is included in Fixed Charges of the Company as accrued. Further, the accounting reclassification of any obligation of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries as Indebtedness will not be deemed an incurrence of Indebtedness for purposes of this covenant.

26

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 with (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) the obligations so secured until such time as such obligations are no longer secured by a Lien.

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 on the date of the indenture and 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, replacements 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 Capital Stock of a Person acquired by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries as in effect at the time of such acquisition (except to the extent such Indebtedness or Capital Stock was incurred in connection with or in contemplation of such acquisition), which encumbrance or restriction is not applicable to any Person, or the properties or assets of any Person, other than the Person, or the property or assets of the Person, so acquired, provided that, in the case of Indebtedness, such Indebtedness was otherwise permitted by the terms of the indenture to be incurred;

(5) customary non-assignment provisions in Hydrocarbon purchase and sale or exchange agreements or similar operational agreements or in licenses, easements or leases, in each case entered into in the ordinary course of business and consistent with past practices;

(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;

27

(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 agreements described in the definition of “Permitted Business Investments,” 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) the issuance of preferred securities by a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company or the payment of dividends thereon in accordance with the terms thereof; provided that issuance of such preferred securities is permitted pursuant to the covenant described above under the caption “— Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock” and the terms of such preferred securities do not expressly restrict the ability of such Restricted Subsidiary to pay dividends or make any other distributions on its Capital Stock (other than requirements to pay dividends or liquidation preferences on such preferred securities prior to paying any dividends or making any other distributions on such other Capital Stock);

(14) with respect to any Foreign Subsidiary, any encumbrance or restriction contained in the terms of any Indebtedness or any agreement pursuant to which such Indebtedness was incurred if either (a) the encumbrance or restriction applies only in the event of a payment default or a default with respect to a financial covenant in such Indebtedness or agreement or (b) the Company determines that any such encumbrance or restriction will not materially affect the Company’s ability to make principal or interest payments on the notes, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company, whose determination shall be conclusive; and

(15) any other agreement governing Indebtedness of the Company or any Guarantor that is permitted to be incurred by the covenant described under “— Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock”; provided, however, that such encumbrances or restrictions are not materially more restrictive, taken as a whole, than those contained in the indenture or the Credit Agreement as it exists on the date of the indenture.

Merger, Consolidation or Sale of Assets

Neither of the Issuers may, directly or indirectly: (1) consolidate or merge with or into another Person (whether or not such Issuer is the survivor); or (2) sell, assign, transfer, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its properties or assets in one or more related transactions, to another Person, unless:

(1) either: (a) such Issuer is the survivor or (b) the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than such Issuer) or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition has been made is a Person organized or existing under the laws of the United States, any state of the United States or the District of Columbia; provided, however, that Finance Corp. may not consolidate or merge with or into any Person other than a corporation satisfying such requirement so long as the Company is not a corporation;

(2) the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than such Issuer) or the Person to which such sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition has been made assumes all the obligations of such Issuer under the notes, the indenture and the registration rights agreement pursuant to agreements reasonably satisfactory to the trustee;

(3) immediately after such transaction no Default or Event of Default exists;

28

(4) in the case of a transaction involving the Company, either

(a) the Company or the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than the Company), or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition has been made will, on the date of such transaction after giving pro forma effect thereto and any related financing transactions as if the same had occurred at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter period, be permitted to incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio test set forth in the first paragraph of the covenant described above under the caption “— Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock;” or

(b) immediately after giving effect to such transaction and any related financing transactions on a pro forma basis as if the same had occurred at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter period, the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of the Company or the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than the Company), or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition has been made, will be equal to or greater than the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of the Company immediately before such transactions; and

(5) such Issuer has delivered to the trustee an officers’ certificate and an opinion of counsel, each stating that such consolidation, merger or disposition and such supplemental indenture (if any) comply with the indenture.

Notwithstanding the restrictions described in the foregoing clause (4), any Restricted Subsidiary (other than Finance Corp.) may consolidate with, merge into or dispose of all or part of its properties and assets to the Company without complying with the preceding clause (4) in connection with any such consolidation, merger or disposition.

Notwithstanding the second preceding paragraph, the Company is 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) of the Company 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 “includible corporation” of an affiliated group of corporations within the meaning of Section 1504(b) of the Code or any similar state or local law).

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.

29

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 of the Company (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; and

(2) the Company delivers to the trustee, 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 of the Company set forth in an officers’ certificate certifying that such Affiliate Transaction or series of Affiliate Transactions complies with this covenant and that such Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions has been approved by a majority of the disinterested members of the Board of Directors of the Company.

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 in the ordinary course of business;

(2) transactions between or among any of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries;

(3) transactions with a Person (other than an Unrestricted Subsidiary of the Company) 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 that are 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 or a Restricted Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company, including reimbursement or advancement of out-of-pocket expenses and provisions of officers’ and directors’ liability insurance;

(6) sales of Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Stock) to, or receipt of capital contributions from, Affiliates of the Company;

(7) Permitted Investments or Restricted Payments that are permitted by the provisions of the indenture described above under the caption “— Restricted Payments;” and

(8) in the case of contracts for buying and selling Hydrocarbons 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 of its Restricted Subsidiaries and unrelated third parties.

Designation of Restricted and Unrestricted Subsidiaries

The Board of Directors of the Company 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 as an Unrestricted Subsidiary will be deemed to be either an Investment made as of the time of the designation that 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. That designation 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 of the Company 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 Preferred 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 Restricted Subsidiary of the Company that is not already a Guarantor guarantees any other Indebtedness of either of the Issuers or any Guarantor, or any Domestic Subsidiary, if not then a Guarantor, incurs any Indebtedness under any Credit Facility, then in either case that Subsidiary will become a Guarantor by executing a supplemental indenture and delivering it to the trustee within 20 Business Days of the date on which it guaranteed or incurred such Indebtedness, as the case may be; provided, however, that the preceding shall not apply to Subsidiaries of the Company that have properly been designated as Unrestricted Subsidiaries in accordance with the indenture for so long as they continue to constitute Unrestricted Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding the preceding, any Subsidiary Guarantee of a Restricted Subsidiary that was incurred pursuant to this paragraph will be released in the circumstances described in clause (6) under “— Subsidiary Guarantees.”

Business Activities

The Company will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, engage in any business other than the Oil and Gas 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 above under the caption “— Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred 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

31

(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.

The availability of the foregoing information or reports on the SEC’s website will be deemed to satisfy the foregoing delivery requirements.

If the Company has designated any of its Subsidiaries as Unrestricted Subsidiaries, then, to the extent material, 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 its 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 both S&P and Moody’s is an Investment Grade Rating, (b) no Default has occurred and is continuing under the indenture and (c) the Issuers have delivered to the trustee an officers’ certificate certifying to the foregoing provisions of this sentence, 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 Preferred 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 “— Certain Covenants”:

• “— Liens,”

• “— Merger, Consolidation or Sale of Assets” (other than the financial tests set forth in clause (4) of such covenant),

• “— Additional Subsidiary Guarantees,”

• “— Reports,” and

• the covenant respecting payments for consent described below in the last paragraph under the caption “— Amendment, Supplement and Waiver.”

32

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,” “— Asset Sales” or “— Certain Covenants — Merger, Consolidation or Sale of Assets;”

(4) failure by the Company for 180 days after notice to comply with the provisions described under “— Certain Covenants — Reports;”

(5) failure by the Company for 60 days after notice to comply with any of its other agreements in the indenture;

(6) 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 $10.0 million or more; provided, however, that if any such Payment Default is cured or waived or any such acceleration rescinded, or such Indebtedness is repaid, within a period of 60 days from the continuation of such Payment 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;

(7) failure by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to pay final judgments aggregating in excess of $10.0 million (to the extent not covered by insurance by a reputable and creditworthy insurer as to which the insurer has not disclaimed coverage), which judgments are not paid, discharged or stayed for a period of 60 days;

(8) 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

(9) 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.

33

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 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 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 director, officer, partner, employee, incorporator, manager or unitholder or other owner of Capital Stock of the Issuers 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 of notes 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 outstanding notes and all obligations of the Guarantors discharged with respect to their Subsidiary Guarantees (“Legal Defeasance”), except for:

(1) the rights of Holders of outstanding notes 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, 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. 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 of the notes, cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable Government Securities, or a combination of cash in U.S. dollars and

34

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 outstanding 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 must deliver 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 U.S. federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such opinion of counsel will confirm that, the Holders of the outstanding notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of such Legal Defeasance and will be subject to U.S. 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 must deliver to the trustee an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to the trustee confirming that the Holders of the outstanding notes 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);

(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 Subsidiaries is a party or by which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is bound;

(6) 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 of notes over the other creditors of the Issuers with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding creditors of the Issuers or others; and

(7) the Issuers must deliver to the trustee an officers’ certificate and an opinion of counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent relating to the Legal Defeasance or the Covenant Defeasance have been complied with.

Amendment, Supplement and Waiver

Except as provided in the next two succeeding paragraphs, the indenture or the notes may be amended or supplemented with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding notes (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, notes), and any existing default or compliance with any provision of the indenture or the notes may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding notes (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, notes).

Without the consent of each Holder affected, an amendment, supplement or waiver may not (with respect to any notes held by a non-consenting Holder):

(1) reduce the principal amount of notes whose Holders must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver;

(2) reduce the principal of or change the fixed maturity of any note or alter the provisions with respect to the redemption or repurchase of the notes (other than provisions relating to the covenants described above under the caption “— Repurchase at the Option of Holders”);

35

(3) reduce the rate of or change the time for payment of interest on any note;

(4) waive a Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal of, or interest or premium, if any, on the notes (except a rescission of acceleration of the notes by the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the notes and a waiver of the payment default that resulted from such acceleration);

(5) make any note payable in currency other than that stated in the notes;

(6) make any change in the provisions of the indenture relating to waivers of past Defaults or the rights of Holders of notes to receive payments of principal of, or interest or premium, if any, on the notes (other than as permitted in clause (7) below);

(7) waive a redemption or repurchase payment with respect to any note (other than a payment required by one of the covenants described above under the caption “— Repurchase at the Option of Holders”);

(8) release any Guarantor from any of its obligations under its Subsidiary Guarantee or the indenture, except in accordance with the terms of the indenture; or

(9) make any change in the preceding amendment, supplement and waiver provisions.

Notwithstanding the preceding, without the consent of any Holder of notes, the Issuers, the Guarantors and the trustee may amend or supplement the indenture or the notes:

(1) to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency;

(2) to provide for uncertificated notes in addition to or in place of certificated notes;

(3) to provide for the assumption of an Issuer’s obligations to Holders of notes in the case of a merger or consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of such Issuer’s properties or assets;

(4) to make any change that would provide any additional rights or benefits to the Holders of notes or that does not adversely affect the legal rights under the indenture of any such Holder, provided that any change to conform the indenture to our offering memorandum relating to the original notes will not be deemed to adversely affect such legal rights;

(5) to secure the notes or the Subsidiary Guarantees pursuant to the requirements of the covenant described above under the subheading “— Certain Covenants — Liens;”

(6) to provide for the issuance of additional notes in accordance with the limitations set forth in the indenture;

(7) to add any additional Guarantor or to evidence the release of any Guarantor from its Subsidiary Guarantee, in each case as provided in the indenture;

(8) to comply with requirements of the Commission in order to effect or maintain the qualification of the indenture under the Trust Indenture Act; or

(9) to evidence or provide for the acceptance of appointment under the indenture of a successor trustee.

Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall, directly or indirectly, pay or cause to be paid any consideration, whether by way of interest, fee or otherwise, to any Beneficial Owner or Holder of any notes for or as an inducement to any consent to any waiver, supplement or amendment of any terms or provisions of the indenture or the notes, unless such consideration is offered to be paid or agreed to be paid to all Beneficial Owners and Holders of the notes that so consent in the time frame set forth in solicitation documents relating to such consent.

36

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 (other than a Default or Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such 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;

(3) the Issuers or any Guarantor has paid or caused to be paid all sums payable by it under the indenture; and

(4) the Issuers have delivered irrevocable instructions to the trustee to apply the deposited money toward the payment of the notes at fixed maturity or the redemption date, as the case may be.

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

U.S. Bank National Association serves as trustee under the indenture for the outstanding 8.625% Senior Notes due 2020 and is a lender under our bank credit facility.

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 as trustee (if the indenture has been qualified under the Trust Indenture Act) 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 powers, 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 of notes, unless such Holder has offered to the trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense.

37

Governing Law

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

Book-Entry, Delivery and Form

The new notes will be issued initially only in the form of one or more global notes (collectively, the “Global Notes”). The Global Notes will be deposited upon issuance with the trustee as custodian for DTC and registered in the name of DTC’s nominee, Cede & Co., in each case for credit to an account of a direct or indirect participant in DTC as described below. Beneficial interests in the Global Notes may be held through the Euroclear System (“Euroclear”) and Clearstream Banking, S.A. (“Clearstream”) (as indirect participants in DTC).

The Global Notes may be transferred, in whole but not in part, only to another nominee of DTC or to a successor of DTC or its nominee. Beneficial interests in the Global Notes may not be exchanged for notes in registered, certificated form (“Certificated Notes”) except in the limited circumstances described below. See “— Exchange of Global Notes for Certificated Notes.”

In addition, transfers of beneficial interests in the Global Notes will be subject to the applicable rules and procedures of DTC and its direct or indirect participants (including, if applicable, those of Euroclear and Clearstream), which may change from time to time.

Depository Procedures

The following description of the operations and procedures of DTC, Euroclear and Clearstream are provided solely as a matter of convenience. These operations and procedures are solely within the control of the respective settlement systems and are subject to changes by them. We take no responsibility for these operations and procedures and urge investors to contact the system or their participants directly to discuss these matters.

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, 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.

DTC has also advised us that, pursuant to procedures established by it:

(1) upon deposit of the Global Notes, DTC will credit the accounts of Participants designated by an underwriter of the new notes with portions of the principal amount of the Global Notes; and

(2) ownership of these interests in the Global Notes will be shown on, and the transfer of ownership of these interests will be effected only through, records maintained by DTC (with respect to the Participants) or by the Participants and the Indirect Participants (with respect to other owners of beneficial interests in the Global Notes).

Investors in the Global Notes who are Participants in DTC’s system may hold their interests therein directly through DTC. Investors in the Global Notes who are not Participants may hold their interests therein indirectly through organizations (including Euroclear and Clearstream) that are Participants in such system. Euroclear and

38

Clearstream may hold interests in the Global Notes on behalf of their participants through customers’ securities accounts in their respective names on the books of their depositories, which are Euroclear Bank S.A./N.V, as operator of Euroclear, and Citibank, N.A., as operator of Clearstream. All interests in a Global Note, including those held through Euroclear or Clearstream, may be subject to the procedures and requirements of DTC. Those interests held through Euroclear or Clearstream may also be subject to the procedures and requirements of such systems.

The laws of some states require that certain Persons take physical delivery in definitive form of securities that they own. Consequently, the ability to transfer beneficial interests in a Global Note to such Persons will be limited to that extent. Because DTC can act only on behalf of Participants, which in turn act on behalf of Indirect Participants, the ability of a Person having beneficial interests in a Global Note to pledge such interests to Persons that do not participate in the DTC system, or otherwise take actions in respect of such interests, may be affected by the lack of a physical certificate evidencing such interests.

Except as described below, owners of beneficial interests in the Global Notes will not have notes registered in their names, will not receive physical delivery of Certificated Notes and will not be considered the registered owners or “Holders” thereof under the indenture for any purpose.

Payments in respect of the principal of, and interest and premium, if any, on, a Global Note registered in the name of DTC or its nominee will be payable to DTC in its capacity as the registered Holder under the indenture. Under the terms of the indenture, the Issuers, the Guarantors and the trustee will treat the Persons in whose names the notes, including the Global Notes, are registered as the owners of the notes for the purpose of receiving payments and for all other purposes. Consequently, neither the Issuers, the Guarantors, the trustee nor any agent of an Issuer or the trustee has or will have any responsibility or liability for:

(1) any aspect of DTC’s records or any Participant’s or Indirect Participant’s records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests in the Global Notes or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any of DTC’s records or any Participant’s or Indirect Participant’s records relating to the beneficial ownership interests in the Global Notes; or

(2) any other matter relating to the actions and practices of DTC or any of its Participants or Indirect Participants.

DTC has advised us that its current practice, at the due date of any payment in respect of securities such as the notes, is to credit the accounts of the relevant Participants with the payment on the payment date unless DTC has reason to believe it will not receive payment on such payment date. Each relevant Participant is credited with an amount proportionate to its beneficial ownership of an interest in the principal amount of the notes as shown on the records of DTC. Payments by the Participants and the Indirect Participants to the beneficial owners of notes will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices and will be the responsibility of the Participants or the Indirect Participants and will not be the responsibility of DTC, the trustee or the Issuers. Neither the Issuers nor the trustee will be liable for any delay by DTC or any of its Participants in identifying the beneficial owners of the notes, and the Issuers and the trustee may conclusively rely on and will be protected in relying on instructions from DTC or its nominee for all purposes.

Transfers between Participants in DTC will be effected in accordance with DTC’s procedures, and will be settled in same-day funds, and transfers between participants in Euroclear and Clearstream will be effected in accordance with their respective rules and operating procedures.

Crossmarket transfers between the Participants in DTC, on the one hand, and Euroclear or Clearstream participants, on the other hand, will be effected through DTC in accordance with DTC’s rules on behalf of Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, by its depository; however, such cross-market transactions will require delivery of instructions to Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, by the counterparty in such system in accordance with the rules and procedures and within the established deadlines (Brussels time) of such

39

system. Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, will, if the transaction meets its settlement requirements, deliver instructions to its respective depository to take action to effect final settlement on its behalf by delivering or receiving interests in the relevant Global Note in DTC and making or receiving payment in accordance with normal procedures for same-day funds settlement applicable to DTC. Euroclear participants and Clearstream participants may not deliver instructions directly to the depositories for Euroclear or Clearstream.

DTC has advised us that it will take any action permitted to be taken by a Holder of notes only at the direction of one or more Participants to whose account DTC has credited the interests in the Global Notes and only in respect of such portion of the aggregate principal amount of the notes as to which such Participant or Participants has or have given such direction. However, if there is an Event of Default under the notes, DTC reserves the right to exchange the Global Notes for Certificated Notes, and to distribute such notes to its Participants.

Although DTC, Euroclear and Clearstream have agreed to the foregoing procedures to facilitate transfers of interests in the Global Notes among participants in DTC, Euroclear and Clearstream, they are under no obligation to perform or to continue to perform such procedures and may discontinue such procedures at any time. None of the Issuers, the trustee or any of their respective agents will have any responsibility for the performance by DTC, Euroclear or Clearstream or their respective participants or indirect participants of their respective obligations under the rules and procedures governing their operations.

Exchange of Global Notes for Certificated Notes

A Global Note is exchangeable for Certificated Notes in minimum denominations of $2,000 and in integral multiples of $1,000 in excess of $2,000, if:

(1) DTC (a) notifies the Issuers that it is unwilling or unable to continue as depositary for the Global Note or (b) has ceased to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act and in either event the Issuers fail to appoint a successor depositary within 90 days; or

(2) there has occurred and is continuing an Event of Default and DTC notifies the trustee of its decision to exchange the Global Note for Certificated Notes.

Beneficial interests in a Global Note may also be exchanged for Certificated Notes in the other limited circumstances permitted by the indenture, including if an affiliate of ours acquires such interests. In all cases, Certificated Notes delivered in exchange for any Global Note or beneficial interests in Global Notes will be registered in the names, and issued in any approved denominations, requested by or on behalf of the depositary (in accordance with its customary procedures).

Exchange of Certificated Notes for Global Notes

Certificated Notes may not be exchanged for beneficial interests in any Global Note, except in the limited circumstances provided in the indenture.

Same-Day Settlement and Payment

The Issuers will make payments in respect of the notes represented by the Global Notes (including principal, premium, if any, and interest) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by the Global Note Holder. The Issuers will make all payments of principal, interest and premium, if any, with respect to Certificated Notes by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by the Holders of the Certificated Notes or, if no such account is specified, by mailing a check to each such Holder’s registered address. The notes represented by the Global Notes are eligible to trade in DTC’s Same-Day Funds Settlement System, and any permitted secondary market trading activity in such notes will, therefore, be required by DTC to be settled in immediately available funds. We expect that secondary trading in any Certificated Notes will also be settled in immediately available funds.

Interest on Indebtedness that may optionally be determined at an interest rate based upon a factor of a prime or similar rate, a eurocurrency interbank offered rate, or other rate, shall be deemed to have been based upon the rate actually chosen, or, if none, then based upon such optional rate chosen as such Person may designate.

49

(2) the Consolidated Cash Flow attributable to discontinued operations, as determined in accordance with GAAP, and operations or businesses (and ownership interests therein) disposed of prior to the Calculation Date, will be excluded;

(3) the Fixed Charges attributable to discontinued operations, as determined in accordance with GAAP, and operations or businesses (and ownership interests therein) disposed of prior to the Calculation Date, will be excluded, but only to the extent that the obligations giving rise to such Fixed Charges will not be obligations of the specified Person or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries following the Calculation Date;

(4) any Person that is a Restricted Subsidiary of the specified Person on the Calculation Date will be deemed to have been a Restricted Subsidiary of the specified Person at all times during such four-quarter period;

CERTAIN U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

The following discussion summarizes certain U.S. federal income tax considerations that may be relevant to the acquisition, ownership and disposition of the additional notes. This discussion is based upon the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), applicable U.S. Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, judicial authority and administrative interpretations, each as of the date of this document, all of which are subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect, or are subject to different interpretations. We cannot assure you that the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) will not challenge one or more of the tax consequences described in this discussion, and we have not obtained, nor do we intend to obtain, a ruling from the IRS or an opinion of counsel with respect to the U.S. federal tax consequences of acquiring, holding or disposing of the notes.

The new notes will be issued as additional notes under the indenture pursuant to which we issued $450 million principal amount of our 7.875% Senior Notes due 2022. The new notes offered hereby and those previously issued notes will be treated as a single class of debt securities under the indenture and will be subject to the same information reporting for U.S. federal income tax purposes. This discussion pertains only to the notes being issued in this offering and does not apply to the notes presently outstanding under the indenture.

This discussion is limited to holders who purchase the notes in this offering at the initial offering price and who hold the notes as capital assets (generally property held for investment). This discussion does not address the tax considerations arising under U.S. federal gift or estate tax laws or under the laws of any foreign, state, local or other jurisdiction or any income tax treaty. In addition, this discussion does not address all tax considerations that may be important to a particular holder in light of the holder’s circumstances, or to certain categories of investors that may be subject to special rules, such as:

• dealers in securities or currencies;

• traders in securities that have elected the mark-to-market method of accounting for their securities;

• U.S. holders (as defined below) whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar;

• persons holding notes as part of a hedge, straddle, conversion or other “synthetic security” or integrated transaction;

• U.S. expatriates;

• U.S. holders (as defined below) that hold their notes through non-U.S. brokers or other non-U.S. intermediaries;

• financial institutions;

• insurance companies;

• regulated investment companies;

• real estate investment trusts;

• persons subject to the alternative minimum tax;

• persons deemed to sell the notes under constructive sale provisions of the Code;

• entities that are tax-exempt for U.S. federal income tax purposes; and

• partnerships and other pass-through entities and holders of interests therein.

If a partnership (or an entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) holds notes, the tax treatment of a partner of the partnership generally will depend upon the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. If you are a partner of a partnership acquiring the notes, you are urged to consult your own tax advisor about the U.S. federal income tax consequences of acquiring, holding and disposing of the notes.

INVESTORS CONSIDERING THE PURCHASE OF NOTES ARE URGED TO CONSULT THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS REGARDING THE PARTICULAR U.S. FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL AND FOREIGN TAX CONSEQUENCES TO THEM OF THE PURCHASE, OWNERSHIP AND DISPOSITION OF THE NOTES AS WELL AS THE APPLICABILITY OF ANY INCOME TAX TREATY.

In certain circumstances (see “Description of Notes — Optional Redemption” and “Description of Notes — Repurchase at the Option of Holders — Change of Control”), we may be obligated to pay amounts on the notes that are in excess of stated interest or principal on the notes. These potential payments may implicate the provisions of the U.S. Treasury Regulations relating to “contingent payment debt instruments.” We do not intend to treat the possibility of paying such additional amounts as causing the notes to be treated as contingent payment debt instruments. However, additional income will be recognized if any such additional payment is made. It is possible that the IRS may take a different position, in which case a holder might be required to accrue interest income at a higher rate than the stated interest rate and to treat as ordinary interest income any gain realized on the taxable disposition of the note. The remainder of this discussion assumes that the notes will not be treated as contingent payment debt instruments. Prospective investors should consult their own tax advisors regarding the possible application of the contingent payment debt instrument rules to the notes.

Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders

You are a “U.S. holder” for purposes of this discussion if you are a beneficial owner of a note and you are for U.S. federal income tax purposes:

• an individual who is a U.S. citizen or U.S. resident alien;

• a corporation, or other entity taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, that was created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia;

• an estate whose income is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source; or

• a trust (1) if a court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of the trust and one or more United States persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust, or (2) that has a valid election in effect under applicable U.S. Treasury Regulations to be treated as a United States person.

Interest on the Notes

Interest on the notes generally will be taxable to you as ordinary income at the time it is received or accrued in accordance with your regular method of accounting for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Pre-Issuance Accrued Interest

A portion of the purchase price of the notes is attributable to the amount of interest accrued for the period from the last interest payment date until the date of issuance (the “pre-issuance accrued interest”). Pre-issuance accrued interest should be excluded from your income and, when received, will reduce your tax basis in your new notes.

Amortizable Bond Premium

If you purchase a note for an amount in excess of its principal amount (excluding any amount properly allocable to pre-issuance accrued interest as described above under “— Pre-Issuance Accrued Interest”), you will be treated as having purchased the note with “amortizable bond premium” equal in amount to such excess. You may elect (with respect to the note and all your other obligations with amortizable bond premium) to amortize such premium using a constant yield method over the remaining term of the note (or earlier call date, as applicable) and you may offset interest income otherwise required to be included in respect of the note during any taxable year by the amortized amount of such excess for the taxable year. If you elect to amortize any

63

premium on the notes, you must reduce your tax basis in the notes by the amount of the premium amortized in any year. An election to amortize bond premium applies to all taxable debt obligations then owned and thereafter acquired by the holder and may be revoked only with the consent of the IRS. If you do not elect to amortize bond premium, that premium will decrease the gain or increase the loss you would otherwise recognize on the disposition of the note.

Disposition of the Notes

You will generally recognize capital gain or loss on the sale, redemption, exchange, retirement or other taxable disposition of a note. This gain or loss will equal the difference between the proceeds you receive (excluding any proceeds attributable to accrued but unpaid interest that is not pre-issuance accrued interest, which will be taxable as ordinary interest income to the extent you have not previously included such amounts in income) and your adjusted tax basis in the note. The proceeds you receive will include the amount of any cash and the fair market value of any other property received for the note. Your adjusted tax basis in the note will generally equal the amount you paid for the note, less any pre-issuance accrued interest previously received and any amortizable bond premium that has accrued thereon. The gain or loss will be long-term capital gain or loss if you held the note for more than one year at the time of the sale, redemption, exchange, retirement or other disposition. Long-term capital gains of individuals, estates and trusts generally are subject to a reduced rate of U.S. federal income tax. The deductibility of capital losses may be subject to limitation.

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

Information reporting will apply to payments of interest on, and the proceeds of the sale or other disposition (including a retirement or redemption) of, notes held by you, and backup withholding may apply to such payments unless you provide the appropriate intermediary with a taxpayer identification number, certified under penalties of perjury, as well as certain other information or otherwise establish an exemption from backup withholding. Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amount withheld under the backup withholding rules is allowable as a credit against your U.S. federal income tax liability, if any, and a refund may be obtained if the amounts withheld exceed your actual U.S. federal income tax liability and you timely provide the required information or appropriate claim form to the IRS.

Tax Consequences to Non-U.S. Holders

You are a “non-U.S. holder” for purposes of this discussion if you are a beneficial owner of notes that is an individual, corporation, estate or trust that is not a U.S. holder.

Interest on the Notes

Payments to you of interest on the notes generally will be exempt from withholding of U.S. federal income tax under the “portfolio interest” exemption if you properly certify as to your foreign status, as described below, and:

• you do not own, actually or constructively, 10% or more of the capital or profits interests in BreitBurn Energy Partners L.P.;

• you are not a “controlled foreign corporation” that is related to BreitBurn Energy Partners L.P. (actually or constructively);

• you are not a bank whose receipt of interest on the notes is in connection with an extension of credit made pursuant to a loan agreement entered into in the ordinary course of your trade or business; and

• interest on the notes is not effectively connected with your conduct of a U.S. trade or business.

You can generally meet the certification requirement by providing a properly executed IRS Form W-8BEN or appropriate substitute form to the withholding agent. If you hold the notes through a financial institution or

64

other agent acting on your behalf, you may be required to provide appropriate certifications to the agent. Your agent will then generally be required to provide appropriate certifications to the applicable withholding agent, either directly or through other intermediaries. Special rules apply to foreign partnerships, estates and trusts, and in certain circumstances certifications as to foreign status of partners, trust owners or beneficiaries may have to be provided to the withholding agent. In addition, special rules apply to qualified intermediaries that enter into withholding agreements with the IRS.

If you cannot satisfy the requirements described above, payments of interest made to you will be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax at a 30% rate, unless you provide the withholding agent with a properly executed IRS Form W-8BEN (or successor form) claiming an exemption from (or a reduction of) withholding under the benefits of an income tax treaty, or the payments of interest are effectively connected with your conduct of a trade or business in the United States and you meet the certification requirements described below. (See “— Income or Gain Effectively Connected with a U.S. Trade or Business.”)

Disposition of Notes

You generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on any gain realized on the sale, redemption, exchange, retirement or other taxable disposition of a note unless:

• the gain is effectively connected with the conduct by you of a U.S. trade or business (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, is treated as attributable to a permanent establishment maintained by you in the United States); or

• you are an individual who has been present in the United States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of disposition and certain other requirements are met.

If you are a non-U.S. holder whose gain is described in the first bullet point above, you generally will be subject to U.S. federal income tax in the same manner described under “— Income or Gain Effectively Connected with a U.S. Trade or Business.” If you are a non-U.S. holder described in the second bullet point above, you will be subject to a flat 30% (or lower applicable treaty rate) U.S. federal income tax on the gain derived from the sale or other disposition, which may be offset by U.S. source capital losses.

Income or Gain Effectively Connected with a U.S. Trade or Business

If any interest on the notes (excluding any pre-issuance accrued interest) or gain from the sale, exchange, redemption, retirement or other taxable disposition of the notes is effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business conducted by you, then the interest income or gain will be subject to U.S. federal income tax at regular graduated income tax rates, unless an applicable income tax treaty provides otherwise. Effectively connected income will not be subject to U.S. withholding tax if you satisfy certain certification requirements by providing to us or our paying agent a properly executed IRS Form W-8ECI (or IRS Form W-8BEN if a treaty exemption applies) or successor form. If you are a corporation, that portion of your earnings and profits that is effectively connected with your U.S. trade or business may also be subject to a “branch profits tax” at a 30% rate, although an applicable income tax treaty may provide for a lower rate.

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

Payments to you of interest on a note, and amounts withheld from such payments, if any, generally will be required to be reported to the IRS and to you.

United States backup withholding generally will not apply to payments to you of interest on a note if the statement described in “Tax Consequences to Non-U.S. Holders — Interest on the Notes” is duly provided or you otherwise establish an exemption, provided that the withholding agent does not have actual knowledge or reason to know that you are a United States person.

65

Payment of the proceeds of a disposition of a note effected by the U.S. office of a U.S. or foreign broker will be subject to information reporting requirements and backup withholding unless you properly certify under penalties of perjury as to your foreign status and certain other conditions are met or you otherwise establish an exemption. Information reporting requirements and backup withholding generally will not apply to any payment of the proceeds of the disposition of a note effected outside the United States by a foreign office of a broker. However, unless such a broker has documentary evidence in its records that you are a non-U.S. holder and certain other conditions are met, or you otherwise establish an exemption, information reporting will apply to a payment of the proceeds of the disposition of a note effected outside the United States by such a broker if it is:

• a United States person;

• a foreign person that derives 50% or more of its gross income for certain periods from the conduct of a trade or business in the United States;

• a controlled foreign corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes; or

• a foreign partnership that, at any time during its taxable year, has more than 50% of its income or capital interests owned by United States persons or is engaged in the conduct of a U.S. trade or business.

Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amount withheld under the backup withholding rules is allowable as a credit against your U.S. federal income tax liability, if any, and a refund may be obtained if the amounts withheld exceed your actual U.S. federal income tax liability and you timely provide the required information or appropriate claim form to the IRS.

Additional Tax Relating to Net Investment Income

An additional 3.8% tax is imposed on the “net investment income” of certain United States citizens and resident aliens, and on the undistributed “net investment income” of certain estates and trusts. Among other items, “net investment income” would generally include gross income from interest and net gain from the disposition of property, such as the notes, less certain deductions. Prospective investors should consult their tax advisors with respect to the tax consequences of the legislation described above.

THE PRECEDING DISCUSSION OF CERTAIN U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS IS FOR GENERAL INFORMATION ONLY AND IS NOT TAX ADVICE. WE URGE EACH PROSPECTIVE INVESTOR TO CONSULT ITS OWN TAX ADVISOR REGARDING THE PARTICULAR FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL AND FOREIGN TAX CONSEQUENCES OF PURCHASING, HOLDING AND DISPOSING OF OUR NOTES, INCLUDING THE CONSEQUENCES OF ANY PROPOSED CHANGE IN APPLICABLE LAWS.
