Section 2.3                                   Sale of Interests in PAGP GP and AAP.  Each Seller hereby grants, contributes, bargains, assigns, sells, transfers, sets over and delivers to PAGP, its successors and assigns, for its and their own use forever, the Transferred Assets owned by such Seller.  In exchange for such transfer, each Seller shall in connection with the closing of the Offering receive a cash payment from PAGP in the amount set forth for such Party in the column “Cash Payment” on Exhibit A (the “Consideration”).  Each Seller and PAGP shall, upon consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Section 2.3, execute and deliver to each other a cross-receipt acknowledging receipt of the consideration to which such party is entitled pursuant to this Section 2.3.

The failure or waiver of performance under this Contribution Agreement by any Existing Owner or Seller, or on its behalf, does not excuse performance by any other Existing Owner or Seller. Nothing contained herein, no transactions contemplated hereby, and no action taken by any Existing Owner or Seller pursuant hereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Existing Owners and/or the Sellers as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Existing Owners or the Sellers are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated hereby. Each Existing Owner and each Seller shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, and it
