PERTH AMBOY COMMERCIAL STRATEGY PADD(1) 1 Market Opportunity Perth Amboy is in a highly attractive location in the New York Harbor with access to the large local PADD 1 market The PADD 1 region has ~36% of the U.S. population and relies on PADD 3 and international imports and transfers of refined products to meet market demand All U.S. Northeast product not produced by local refineries must be supplied either through import or inter-PADD transfers, increasing storage capacity demand in the New York Harbor New York Harbor NYMEX delivery point: nexus of U.S. Northeast petroleum flows Significantly more trading liquidity than Philadelphia market © Copyright 2013 Buckeye Partners, L.P. 13 (1) Petroleum Administration for Defense Districts Buckeye Business Strategy Multi-mode takeaway capacity (pipe, water, rail, truck) connected to the Buckeye system and inland distribution network Balanced focus on imports/exports for clean products (gasoline, distillates, jet) and dirtier fuels (crude, fuel oil, asphalt) Pipeline constraints and poor facility configurations (tank-to-tank communication) at some existing terminals in New York Harbor result in inefficiencies Ability to complement storage with local product distribution via truck rack Strong interest expressed for a Bakken/Utica crude solution, bunker fuel growth, and asphalt terminalling/supply Facilitates U.S. Northeast product flow and logistics Secures and diversifies access to product supply Extension of the product value chain with BORCO Opportunity to tie-in imports and exports to/from the U.S. We believe optimal facility configuration with simultaneous operations and high-speed takeaway capacity will give Perth Amboy competitive advantages in the marketplace

FERC ORDER DEVELOPMENTS Buckeye Pipe Line’s Market-Rate Program Program Background and “Show Cause” Proceeding In 1991, FERC approved Buckeye Pipe Line Company, L.P.’s (“BPL Co.”) use of an innovative rate-setting system. In its 15 competitive markets, BPL Co. sets tariff rates in response to competitive forces, subject to a cap Rates in the other five markets, including NYC, are tied to changes in rates in the competitive markets On March 1, 2012, BPL Co. filed for routine, system-wide rate increases; a single airline shipper in the NYC area protested. On March 30, 2012, FERC issued an order rejecting the rate increases and initiated a review of the program. BPL Co.’s response, which was filed May 15, affirmed that the program has functioned reasonably, has adjusted rates in line with the pipeline industry, and has not caused undue discrimination among its shippers. On June 29, 2012, the initial protesting party filed comments contending that BPL Co.‘s program has not been reasonable and should be discontinued; three companies intervened without taking a position, and three companies and a committee representing jet fuel consumers at an airport supported the position of the protesting party. Additional filings were made by the parties in July and August. One of the intervenors withdrew from the proceeding in October. In 2011, BPL Co. generated approximately $295 million of the revenue in Buckeye’s Pipelines & Terminals operating segment and deliveries of jet fuel to the NYC airports generated approximately $30 million of BPL Co.’s revenues. FERC’s order does not affect any pipelines or terminals owned by Buckeye’s other operating subsidiaries. Although Buckeye believes the program should be preserved, FERC may discontinue or modify it to conform to its generic rate-setting methodology of indexing or one of the alternative methodologies (market-based, cost-based, or settlement-based rates). Buckeye cannot predict when FERC will act on the proceeding or what it will do. Airlines’ Complaint On September 20, 2012, four airlines filed a complaint at FERC challenging BPL Co.’s tariff rates for transporting jet fuel to three NYC airports – the same movements that were the subject of the March protest that led to the “show cause” proceeding. The complaint is not directed at BPL Co.’s rates for service to other destinations, and it has no impact on the pipeline systems and terminals owned by Buckeye’s other operating subsidiaries. On October 10, 2012, BPL Co. filed its answer to the complaint, and additional filings were made by the parties in October and November. No third parties have filed to intervene in the complaint proceeding. While we cannot predict when FERC will act on the airlines’ complaint or what FERC may do, all parties have expressed a willingness to explore settlement by participating in FERC’s standard settlement processes. We believe it is likely that FERC will initiate a settlement process, though we cannot predict whether the process will be successful. © Copyright 2013 Buckeye Partners, L.P. 15

FERC ORDER DEVELOPMENTS (Continued) Buckeye Pipe Line’s Market-Rate Program Market-Based Rates Application for New York City Market On October 15, 2012, BPL Co. filed an application with FERC seeking authority to charge market-based rates for deliveries of refined petroleum products to the NYC market. If FERC grants the application, BPL Co. would be permitted prospectively to set its rates in response to competitive forces, and the airlines’ cost-based challenges to BPL Co.‘s jet fuel delivery rates to the NYC airports would be moot with respect to future rates. Buckeye believes that the New York City-area market is robust and highly competitive. The New York Harbor is one of the world’s most active refined petroleum products markets. Within this market, BPL Co.‘s customers have access to numerous existing alternatives, via pipeline, barge, and truck, to transport refined products. The three airports are located near other active products pipelines or barge docks and, with reasonable investment, should be able to access alternative jet fuel supplies efficiently and economically. On December 14, 2012, four airlines filed a joint protest of BPL Co.‘s market-based rates application, specifically pertaining to jet fuel transportation to three NYC airports—the same movements that were the subject of the March 2012 protest that led to the “show cause” proceeding. The protest is not directed at BPL Co.‘s market-based rates application pertaining to movements of any other products or to any other destinations in the NYC market. On January 14, 2013, BPL Co. filed its answer to the protest. Buckeye cannot predict when FERC will act on the application or what it will do. Depending on the outcome of these proceedings, the level of some or all of BPL Co.‘s rates could be subject to change, which could have a material impact on our revenues. © Copyright 2013 Buckeye Partners, L.P. 16

BASIS OF REPRESENTATION; EXPLANATION OF NON-GAAP MEASURES Buckeye’s equity-funded merger with Buckeye GP Holdings, L.P. (“BGH”) in the fourth quarter of 2010 has been treated as a reverse merger for accounting purposes. As a result, the historical results presented herein for periods prior to the completion of the merger are those of BGH, and the diluted weighted average number of LP units outstanding increase from 20.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2009 to 44.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2010. Additionally, Buckeye incurred a non-cash charge to compensation expense of $21.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2010 as a result of a distribution of LP units owned by BGH GP Holdings, LLC to certain officers of Buckeye, which triggered a revaluation of an equity incentive plan that had been instituted in 2007. Adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flow are measures not defined by GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA is the primary measure used by our senior management, including our Chief Executive Officer, to (i) evaluate our consolidated operating performance and the operating performance of our business segments, (ii) allocate resources and capital to business segments, (iii) evaluate the viability of proposed projects, and (iv) determine overall rates of return on alternative investment opportunities. Distributable cash flow is another measure used by our senior management to provide a clearer picture of Buckeye’s cash available for distribution to its unitholders. Adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flow eliminate (i) non-cash expenses, including, but not limited to, depreciation and amortization expense resulting from the significant capital investments we make in our businesses and from intangible assets recognized in business combinations, (ii) charges for obligations expected to be settled with the issuance of equity instruments, and (iii) items that are not indicative of our core operating performance results and business outlook. Buckeye believes that investors benefit from having access to the same financial measures used by senior management and that these measures are useful to investors because they aid in comparing Buckeye’s operating performance with that of other companies with similar operations. The Adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flow data presented by Buckeye may not be comparable to similarly titled measures at other companies because these items may be defined differently by other companies. Please see the attached reconciliations of each of Adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flow to net income. This presentation references forward-looking estimates of Adjusted EBITDA and investment multiples projected to be generated by the Perth Amboy terminal. A reconciliation of estimated Adjusted EBITDA to GAAP net income is not provided because GAAP net income generated by the Perth Amboy terminal for the applicable periods is not accessible. Buckeye has not yet completed the necessary valuation of the various assets to be acquired, a determination of the useful lives of these assets for accounting purposes, or an allocation of the purchase price among the various types of assets. In addition, interest and debt expense is a corporate-level expense that is not allocated among Buckeye’s segments and could not be allocated to the Perth Amboy terminal operations without unreasonable effort. Accordingly, the amount of depreciation and amortization and interest and debt expense that will be included in the additional net income generated as a result of the acquisition of the Perth Amboy terminal is not accessible or estimable at this time. The amount of such additional resulting depreciation and amortization and applicable interest and debt expense could be significant, such that the amount of additional net income would vary substantially from the amount of projected Adjusted EBITDA. © Copyright 2013 Buckeye Partners, L.P. 27
