Dear Xxxxx:
TENNESSEE GAS PIPELINE COMPANY (TENNESSEE) AND ESSEX COUNTY GAS CO (ESSEX) agree
to amend the above referenced gas storage contract effective July 1, 1995, to

20% of the MSQ, respectively, as reflected in the attached Exhibit A-1 and as
described below.
The parties agree to amend Article I of the subject gas storage contract as
follows:
Following the commencement of services hereunder, in accordance with the terms
of Transporter's Rate Schedule FS, and of this Agreement, Transporter shall
receive for injection for Shipper's account a daily quantity of gas up to
Shipper's Maximum Injection Quantity of 5,476 dekatherms (Dth) and Maximum

10,466 Dth; provided however, that when Shipper's storage balance is equal to or
less than 30% of the MSQ but greater than 20% of the MSQ, the Maximum Daily

Except as amended herein, all terms and provisions of the above referenced gas
