- 16 -

connection with the consummation of the Arrangement and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement will contain any Misrepresentation or any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated in any such document or necessary in order to make any information so furnished for use in any such document not misleading in the light of the circumstances in which it is furnished or in which it is to be used.

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF TERASEN

As an inducement to the Kinder Parties to enter into this Agreement, Terasen hereby represents and warrants to the Kinder Parties as follows in each case except as set forth in the Terasen Disclosure Letter (each of which exceptions shall specifically identify the relevant section hereof to which it relates):

Each of Terasen and its subsidiaries has been duly organized or formed and is validly existing and, to the extent such concept is legally recognized, in good standing under the Laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation, organization or formation, as the case may be, with full corporate or legal power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and assets and to conduct its businesses as currently owned and conducted except where, individually or in the aggregate, the failure of a subsidiary other than a Material Subsidiary to be so organized, formed or existing or to have such power or authority would not have a Material Adverse Effect on Terasen. Each of Terasen and its subsidiaries is duly qualified to do business in each jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted by it or the ownership or leasing of its properties and assets requires it to so qualify, except where, individually or in the aggregate, the failure to be so qualified would not have a Material Adverse Effect on Terasen. Section 3.1 of the Terasen Disclosure Letter sets forth a correct and complete list of each jurisdiction in which Terasen or any of its Material Subsidiaries is qualified or licensed to do business.

(b)

Section 3.1 of the Terasen Disclosure Letter sets forth, as of the date of this Agreement, a true and complete list of each of Terasen's subsidiaries and Partially Owned Entities, together with (i) the nature of the legal organization of such person, (ii) the jurisdiction of organization or formation of such person, (iii) the name of each person related to Terasen that owns beneficially or of record any equity or similar interest in such person, and (iv) the percentage interest owned by Terasen or any of its subsidiaries in such person.

None of Terasen or any of its affiliates or associates (as such terms are used in Section 17.12, 100 of the Kansas General Corporation Code and Kinder's certificate of incorporation) "beneficially owns" (as such term is defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) any equity securities of Kinder.

(c)

Terasen has heretofore made available to Kinder complete and correct copies of its constating documents as well as the constating documents of each of its Material Subsidiaries, in each case as in effect on the date of this Agreement.

Nothing contained in Section 5.1(d) or 5.5(b) shall prohibit the board of directors of Terasen from withdrawing, modifying, qualifying or changing its recommendation to the Terasen Securityholders in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby prior to the approval of the Arrangement by the Terasen Securityholders, if the board of directors of Terasen determines, in good faith (after receiving written advice of outside counsel) that such withdrawal, modification, qualification or change is necessary for the board of directors of Terasen to act in a manner consistent with its fiduciary duties or applicable Laws; provided that (i) not less than 48 hours before the board of directors of Terasen considers any proposal in respect of any such withdrawal, modification, qualification or change, Terasen shall give Kinder written notice of such proposal and promptly advise Kinder of the proposed consideration of such proposal, including a summary of the reasons for the proposal withdrawal, modification, qualification or change, a copy of the written opinion of outside counsel and all other materials to be presented to the board of directors of Terasen in respect of its consideration of such proposal, and (ii) the foregoing shall not relieve Terasen from its obligation to proceed to call and hold the Terasen Meeting and to hold the vote on the Terasen Resolutions, except in circumstances where this Agreement is terminated in accordance with the terms hereof.

(e)

Terasen shall ensure that its officers, directors and employees and its subsidiaries and their officers, directors and employees and any financial advisors or other advisors or representatives retained by it are aware of the provisions of this Section 5.5, and it shall be responsible for any breach of this Section 5.5 by such officers, directors, employees, financial advisors or other advisors or representatives.

- 65 -

5.6

Right to Accept a Superior Proposal

(a)

If Terasen has complied with Section 5.5 with respect thereto, Terasen may accept, approve, recommend or enter into any agreement, understanding or arrangement in respect of a Superior Proposal prior to the approval of the Arrangement by the Terasen Securityholders and terminate this Agreement if, and only if (with the exception of a confidentiality agreement the execution of which shall not be subject to the conditions of this Section 5.6), (i) Terasen has provided Kinder with a copy of the Superior Proposal document, (ii) four Business Days shall have elapsed from the later of (x) the date Kinder received written notice (a "Section 5.6 Notice") advising Kinder that Terasen's board of directors has resolved, subject only to compliance with this Section 5.6, to accept, approve, recommend or enter into an agreement in respect of such Superior Proposal, specifying the terms and conditions of such Superior Proposal and identifying the person making such Superior Proposal, and (y) the date Kinder received a copy of such Superior Proposal, (iii) Terasen's board of directors has determined in good faith (based upon the written opinion of its outside legal counsel) that it is necessary for the board of directors of Terasen to take such action in order to discharge properly its fiduciary duties and thereby withdrawing or modifying its approval or recommendation of this Agreement and approving or recommending such Superior Proposal, (iv) such Superior Proposal does not provide for the payment of any break, termination or other fees or expenses to the other party in the event that Terasen or any of its subsidiaries completes the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any similar other transaction with Kinder or any of its affiliates agreed to prior to any termination of this Agreement, (v) taking into account any revised proposal made by Kinder since receipt of the Section 5.6 Notice, such Superior Proposal remains a Superior Proposal and the Terasen board of directors has again made the determinations referred to in this Section 5.6(a) and (v) Terasen has previously or concurrently will have paid to Kinder the Termination Fee, if any, payable under Section 7.4. In the event that Terasen provides Kinder with a Section 5.6 Notice on a date that is less than four Business Days prior to the Terasen Meeting, Terasen shall adjourn the Terasen Meeting (without notice on the Arrangement or any related matters) to a date that is not less than five Business Days and not more than 10 Business Days after the date of the Section 5.6 Notice.

(b)

During the four Business Day period referred to in Section 5.6(a)(ii), Terasen agrees that Kinder shall have the right, but not the obligation, to offer to amend the terms of this Agreement. The board of directors of Terasen will review any proposal by Kinder to amend the terms of this Agreement in good faith in order to determine, in its discretion in the exercise of its fiduciary duties, whether Kinder's amended proposal upon acceptance by Terasen would result in such Superior Proposal ceasing to be a Superior Proposal. If the board of directors of Terasen so determines, it will enter into an amended agreement with Kinder reflecting Kinder's amended proposal. If the board of directors of Terasen continues to

- 66 -

believe, in good faith and after consultation with financial advisors and outside counsel, that such Superior Proposal remains a Superior Proposal and therefore rejects Kinder's amended proposal, Terasen may, on termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 7.2(c)(iv) and payment of the termination fee as required pursuant to Section 7.4(b), accept, approve, recommend or enter into an agreement, understanding or arrangement in respect of such Superior Proposal.

(c)

Terasen also acknowledges and agrees that each successive material modification of any Acquisition Proposal shall constitute a new Acquisition Proposal for purposes of Section 5.5 and the requirement under clause (ii) of Section 5.6(a) to initiate an additional five Business Day notice period.

5.7

Employee Benefits and Related Matters

(a)

Kinder agrees, and after the Effective Time will cause Terasen or any of its subsidiaries, as the case may be, to maintain the Terasen Plans in force as at the Effective Time unamended (other that any amendment which may be required to comply with Law) for the benefit of the Canadian Affected Employees for no less than 12 calendar months following the Effective Time. For purposes of this Section 5.7, "Affected Employees" means individuals who are actively employed by Terasen or any of its subsidiaries as of the Effective Time, who are not subject to a collective bargaining agreement or any other employment agreement and who remain employed with Terasen or any subsidiary of Terasen immediately following the Effective Time.

(b)

For benefit plans maintained by Kinder for which service and vesting are a factor, Kinder agrees to recognize each Affected Employee's credited service under a Terasen Plan for such purposes. Terasen agrees not to modify any credited service or grant any additional credited service to any Affected Employee. For greater certainty, it is the intent of both Terasen and Kinder that a duplication of benefits cannot occur as a result of this Section 5.7.

(c)

Nothing herein shall be construed as (i) requiring Kinder to continue the employment of any Affected Employees following the Effective Time, (ii) limiting Kinder's ability to amend, modify or terminate any individual employee benefit plan or arrangement of Terasen, Kinder or any of their respective subsidiaries, or (iii) requiring Kinder to maintain any particular level of employee benefits for any individual employee following the Effective Time except as expressly provided in this Section 5.7 with respect to Canadian Affected Employees only.

5.8

Pre-Acquisition Reorganizations

Terasen will agree to effect such reorganization of its business, operations and assets or such other transactions (each, "Pre-acquisition Reorganization") as the Kinder Parties may

- 67 -

reasonably request prior to the Effective Date, and the Plan of Arrangement, if required, shall be modified accordingly. Provided, however, that Terasen need not effect Pre-acquisition Reorganization which in the opinion of Terasen, acting reasonably, (i) would require Terasen to obtain the approval of the Terasen Securityholders in respect of such Pre-Acquisition Reorganization other than at the Terasen Meeting, (ii) would prejudice the Terasen Securityholders, (iii) would impede or materially delay the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or (iv) cannot either be (A) completed immediately prior to or contemporaneously with the Effective Time, or (B) reversed or unwound without adversely affecting Terasen and its subsidiaries.

5.9

Proxies Received and Dissent Notices

Terasen shall advise the Kinder Parties:

(a)

as reasonably requested, and on a daily basis on each of the last seven business days prior to the Terasen Meeting, as to the aggregate tally of the proxies and votes received in respect of the Terasen Meeting; and

(b)

of any written notice of dissent, withdrawal of such notice, and any other instruments received by Terasen pursuant to the Dissent Rights.

5.10

Closing Matters

Each of the Kinder Parties and Terasen shall deliver, at the Effective Time, such customary certificates, resolutions and other closing documents as may be required by the other parties hereto, acting reasonably.

5.11

Privacy Matters

(a)

The Kinder Parties and Terasen acknowledge and agree that certain information provided by Terasen to the Kinder Parties in connection with the transactions contemplated hereunder constitutes Personal Information (the "Disclosed Personal Information") which is necessary for the purposes of determining if the Kinder Parties shall proceed with the Arrangement, that the disclosure of the Disclosed Personal Information relates solely to the carrying on of the business, or the completion of the Arrangement and that, as contemplated by the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement, such Disclosed Personal Information:

(i)

may not be used for any purpose other than those related to the performance of this Agreement;

(ii)

must be kept strictly confidential and the Kinder Parties shall ensure that access to such Personal Information shall be restricted to those Representatives of Kinder who have a bona fide need access to such information and shall instruct those Representatives to protect the

- 68 -

confidentiality of such information in a manner consistent with Kinder's obligations hereunder; and

(iii)

upon the expiry or termination of this Agreement, or otherwise upon the request of Terasen, Kinder shall forthwith cease all use of the Disclosed Personal Information acquired by Kinder in connection with this Agreement and will return to Terasen or, at Terasen's request, destroy in a secure manner the Disclosed Personal Information (and any copies).

(b)

In addition to the foregoing obligations contained in the Confidentiality Agreement:

(i)

Kinder agrees to employ appropriate technology and procedures to prevent accidental loss or corruption of such Personal Information, unauthorized input or access to the Disclosed Personal Information, or unauthorized or unlawful collection, storage, disclosure, recording, copying, alteration, removal, deletion, use or other processing of the Disclosed Personal Information;

(ii)

each of Terasen and Kinder agrees to promptly notify the other of all inquiries, complaints, requests for access, and claims of which the Party is made aware in connection with the Disclosed Personal Information. The Parties shall fully co-operate with one another, with the persons to whom the Disclosed Personal Information relates, and any Governmental Entity charged with enforcement of applicable privacy laws, in responding to such inquiries, complaints, requests for access, and claims; and

(iii)

if the Arrangement is completed Terasen may disclose additional Personal Information of its employees, customers, directors and officers to Kinder and its Representatives on condition that:

(A)

Kinder and its Representatives must only use or disclose such Personal Information for the same purposes for which it was collected, used or disclosed by Terasen, and

(B)

the employees, customers, directors, officers and shareholders whose Personal Information is disclosed are notified that:

(I)

the Arrangement has taken place, and

(II)

the personal information about them has been disclosed to Kinder and its Representatives.

(c)

Without limiting the foregoing, each of Terasen and the Kinder Parties acknowledge and agree that their respective disclosure letters and all information contained in them is confidential and may not be disclosed to any other person

- 69 -

unless (a) such disclosure is required under applicable Law, unless such Law permits it to refrain from disclosing such information for confidentiality or other reasons or (b) such disclosure is required in order to enforce its rights under this Agreement.

Remedies

The parties acknowledge and agree that an award of money damages would be inadequate for any breach of this Agreement by any party or its representatives and any such breach would cause the non-breaching party irreparable harm.

FORM OF AFFILIATE'S LETTER

________________, 2005

▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, Inc.

[__________]

Ladies and Gentlemen:

I have been advised that as of the date of this letter, I may be deemed to be an "affiliate" of Terasen Inc., a corporation existing under the laws of British Columbia ("Terasen"), within the meaning of Rule 145 (Rule "145") promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), although nothing in this letter shall be deemed to be an admission by me that I am in fact an affiliate of Terasen.

Pursuant to the terms of the Combination Agreement, dated as of August 1, 2005 (the "Combination Agreement"), by and among Terasen, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, Inc., a Kansas corporation ("Kinder"), and 0731297 B.C. Ltd., a company existing under the laws of the Province of British Columbia and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Kinder ("Subco"), all outstanding common shares of Terasen will be transferred to Subco in exchange for consideration comprised of shares of common stock of Kinder, par value $5.00 per share (the "Kinder Shares"), and/or cash (the "Arrangement"). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the same meanings given to them in the Combination Agreement unless otherwise defined herein.

I understand that as a result of the Arrangement, I will receive either Kinder Shares, cash or a combination of Kinder Shares and cash in exchange for each common share of Terasen, $___ per share (the "Terasen Shares"), [and options to purchase Terasen Shares] owned by me as of the Effective Time, as more specifically set forth in the Combination Agreement.

I represent, warrant, covenant and agree with and to Kinder with regard to any Kinder Shares that I receive as a result of the Arrangement as follows:

I will not make any sale, transfer or other disposition of the Kinder Shares in violation of the Securities Act or the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

I consent to the endorsement of the Kinder Shares issued to me pursuant to the Arrangement, as applicable, with a restrictive legend that will read substantially as follows:

- 2 -

"The shares represented by this certificate were issued in a transaction to which Rule 145 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), applies and may be sold or otherwise transferred only in compliance with the limitations of such Rule 145, or upon receipt by Kinder, Inc. of an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to it that some other exemption from registration under the Act is available, or pursuant to a registration statement under the Act."

I understand that stop transfer instructions will be given to Kinder's transfer agent with respect to Kinder Shares issued to me as a result of the Arrangement and that Kinder's transfer agent shall not be required to register any attempted transfer of the Kinder Shares, unless the transfer has been effected in compliance with the terms of this letter agreement.

It is understood and agreed that this letter agreement shall terminate and be of no further force and effect and the restrictive legend set forth above shall be removed by delivery of substitute certificates without such legend, and the related stop transfer restrictions shall be lifted forthwith, if (i) any such Kinder Shares shall have been registered under the Securities Act for sale, transfer or other disposition by me or on my behalf and are sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of, or (ii) any such Kinder Shares are sold in accordance with the provisions of paragraphs (c), (e), (f) and (g) of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, or (iii) I am not at the time an affiliate of Kinder and have been the beneficial owner of the Kinder Shares for at least one year (or such other period as may be prescribed thereunder) and Kinder has filed with the Commission all of the reports it is required to file under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), during the preceding twelve months, or (iv) I am not and have not been for at least three months an affiliate of Kinder and have been the beneficial owner of the Kinder Shares for at least two years (or such other period as may be prescribed by the Securities Act, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder), or (v) Kinder shall have received an opinion of counsel acceptable to it to the effect that the stock transfer restrictions and the legend are not required.

I have carefully read this letter agreement and have discussed its requirements and other applicable limitations upon my ability to offer to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of shares of the Kinder Shares, to the extent I felt necessary, with my counsel.

I understand that Kinder is under no obligation to register the sale, transfer or other disposition of the Kinder Shares by me or on my behalf under the Securities Act or to take any other action necessary in order to make compliance with an exemption from such registration available.

This letter agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same document. Delivery of an executed counterpart of this letter agreement by facsimile shall be effective to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

This letter agreement shall be enforceable by, and shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon, the parties and their respective successors and assigns. As used in this

- 3 -

Agreement, the term "successors and assigns" means, where the context permits, heirs, executors, administrators, trustees and successor trustees, and personal and other representatives.

This letter agreement shall not be modified or amended, or any right waived or any obligations excused, except by a written agreement signed by both parties.

10.

Notwithstanding any other provision contained in this letter agreement, this letter agreement and all obligations under this letter agreement shall terminate upon the termination of the Combination Agreement in accordance with its terms.

11.

I further understand and agree that the provisions of Rule 145 may apply to all Kinder Shares that my spouse, any relative of mine, or any relative of any spouse, any one of whom shares the same house with me, receives as a result of the Arrangement.

Sincerely,

In the event a Holder gives a Notice of Dissent but is not entitled, for any reason, to be paid the fair value of the Terasen Common Shares in respect of which the Notice of Dissent was given as contemplated in Section 242 of the BCBCA and the Interim Order, such Holder shall be deemed to have participated in the Arrangement on the same basis as a non-dissenting Terasen Shareholder and to have elected the Mixed Consideration in respect of all Terasen Common Shares held by such Holder, as described in paragraph 3.3(b).

ARTICLE 5
KINDER CERTIFICATES

5.1

Effect of Arrangement

After the Effective Time, certificates formerly representing Terasen Common Shares shall represent only the right to receive any cash payment and certificates representing Kinder Common Shares which the former Holder of such Terasen Common Shares is entitled to receive pursuant to Article 3 of this Plan of Arrangement, subject to compliance with the requirements set forth in this Article 5.

5.2

Right of Holder to Receive Kinder Common Shares and Cash

(a)

At or prior to the Effective Time, Kinder shall deposit with the Depositary, for the benefit of the Terasen Shareholders, cash in an amount equal to the Maximum Cash and certificate representing the Maximum Shares.

(b)

Subject to Section 5.3, Kinder and Subco shall cause the Depositary, as soon as practicable following the later of the Effective Date and the date of deposit with

- 10 -

the Depositary of a duly completed Letter of Transmittal and Election Form and the certificates representing the Terasen Common Shares or other documentation as provided in the Letter of Transmittal and Election Form, to:

(i)

forward or cause to be forwarded by first class mail (postage prepaid) to the Holder at the address specified in the Letter of Transmittal and Election Form; or

(ii)

if requested by the Holder in the Letter of Transmittal and Election Form, make available at the Depositary for pick-up by the Holder; or

(iii)

if the Letter of Transmittal and Election Form neither specifies an address nor contains a request as described in (ii), forward or cause to be forwarded by first class mail (postage prepaid) to the Holder at the address of such holder as shown on the share register maintained by Terasen as at the Effective Time,

a cheque representing the cash payment, if any, payable to such Terasen Shareholder and/or certificates representing the number of Kinder Common Shares, if any, issuable to such Terasen Shareholder as determined in accordance with the provisions hereof.

(c)

No Holder shall be entitled to receive any consideration with respect to the Terasen Common Shares other than the cash payment, if any, and certificates representing the Kinder Common Shares, if any, which they are entitled to receive in accordance with Article 3 of this Plan of Arrangement and, for greater certainty, no Holder will be entitled to receive any interest, dividends, premium or other payment in connection therewith.

(d)

Until such time as a former Holder of Terasen Common Shares complies with the provisions of paragraph 5.2(a), all certificates, if any, to Kinder Common Shares to which such Holder is entitled (and all dividends paid or distributions made in respect thereof) and the cash payment, if any, to which such Holder is entitled shall, subject to Section 5.3, in each case be delivered or paid to the Depositary to be held in trust for such Holder for delivery to the Holder, without interest and net of all applicable withholding and other taxes, if any, upon delivery of the Letter of Transmittal and Election Form and the certificates representing the Terasen Common Shares in accordance with paragraph 5.2(a).

(e)

Terasen, Kinder, Subco and the Depositary shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any consideration otherwise payable to any holder of Terasen Common Shares or Terasen Options such amounts as Terasen, Kinder or the Depositary are required to deduct and withhold with respect to such payment under the ITA, the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986 or any applicable provision of federal, provincial, state, local or foreign tax law, in each case, as amended. To the extent that amounts are so withheld, such withheld amounts shall

- 11 -

be treated for all purposes hereof as having been paid to the holder of the Terasen Common Shares or Terasen Options in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made, provided that such withheld amounts are actually remitted to the appropriate taxing authority.

5.3

Surrender of Rights

Any certificate formerly representing Terasen Common Shares not duly surrendered on or prior to the sixth anniversary of the Effective Date shall cease to represent a claim or interest of any kind or nature, including a claim for dividends or other distributions under paragraph 5.2(c), against Kinder or Terasen by a former Holder. On such date, all Kinder Common Shares and cash to which the former Holder of such certificates was entitled shall be deemed to have been surrendered to Kinder.

5.4

Right of Optionholder to Receive Kinder Common Shares and Cash

Optionholders shall be entitled to receive any cash and Kinder Common Shares to which they are entitled under paragraph 3.1(e) by executing and delivering to the Depository such documentation as Kinder may reasonably require acknowledging the transfer to Subco and subsequent termination of the Terasen Options held by such Optionholder in exchange for the consideration described in Section 3.1(e) hereof.

5.5

Fractional Shares

No fractional shares shall be issued by Kinder. In lieu of a fractional Kinder Share, a Holder who would otherwise receive a fraction of a Kinder Share shall receive a cash payment from Kinder equal to the product of such fractional interest and the Weighted Average Trading Price of Kinder Common Shares.
