Gerald,

Greg and SCS recommended we put a cap in for our expenditures on operation
costs that HPL was willing to eat for the HPL Operated Facilities. I have
modified section 5 accordingly for your review:

5. Operation. RNP shall operate and maintain the RNP Facilities in
accordance with sound and prudent natural gas industry practice and shall be
fully responsible for the routine operation and maintenance thereof and for
all cost and expense associated therewith. HPL shall operate and maintain or
cause the operation and maintenance of the HPL Facilities in accordance with
the Standards and with sound and prudent natural gas pipeline industry
practice and shall be fully responsible for the operation and maintenance
thereof and for all cost, expense and risk associated therewith. HPL shall
operate and maintain or cause the operation and maintenance of the HPL
Operated Facilities in accordance with the Standards and with sound and
prudent natural gas pipeline industry practice and shall be fully responsible
for the routine operation and maintenance thereof and for all cost, expense
and risk associated therewith, except RNP shall be fully responsible for any
cost and expense associated with any repairs or maintenance activities that
are in excess of $3,000.00 for a single item. HPL shall invoice RNP for such
maintenance, repair or capital expenditures performed by HPL on the HPL
Operated Facilities, and RNP shall pay such invoice within 15 days of its
receipt thereof. RNP shall be responsible for any Meter Fee assessed, as
defined in Section 3 above, and for the electric power and phone service,
required for the Interconnect.
