Subject: Southwest Gas Discount Amendment Changes

Recent negotiations with Southwest Gas Corporation have resulting in the
deletion of two provisions contained in the original Southwest Gas
Corporation discount letter with was routed for Officer Approval. Several
minor "sentence structure" changes requested by Southwest Gas have also been
included.

Please review the revised Discount Letter and forward any comments
immediately to either Lorraine Lindberg (x35403) or Susan Scott (x30596).
The following summarizes the changes to the original discount letter:

1. Deletion of paragraph which waives ROFR rights. This paragraph is not
necessary due to FERC Order 637 rule which states that the shipper's tariff
right to ROFR for contracts of one year or longer does not apply to
discounted transportation contracts, only max rate contracts.

2. Deletion of Paragraph which states Transwestern will retain any capacity
release revenues which Shipper may acquire from releasing capacity at rates
above the Discount Rate provided by Transwestern to Shipper.


Please note that the revised discount letter does retain the original intent
of providing Southwest Gas a 10 year discount rate for seasonal (November
through March period) capacity from Transwestern's East of Thoreau (EOT) Area
to the Southwest Gas Interconnect located in the East of California Area.
The $.10/Dth/d transportation rate shall increase annually by $.005/Dth/d for
the term of the agreement. Alternate receipt points rights are in the EOT
Area as with as within the primary path of the contract. Southwest Gas may
also utilize the Bloomfield Compressor on an alternate basis.
