Brian,

There would be more interest in Eagan as opposed to Moss Bluff. Moss Bluff
is connected to the A/s line but the interconnect is controlled by Channel or
TPC and generally is not a reliable Firm Service point.. We have looked into
building our own interconnect in the past with a cost of around $2 million if
my memory serves me right. At that price I would much rather have Centana
Stg Vs Moss Bluff.

I talked to Scott Neal about Eagan and he asked to be included in any
discussions.

As far as the value of the capacity that will depend on the injection rate,
storage capacity and withdrawal rate as well as what pipelines are involved.
As a general idea I would say Moss Bluff is worth between $.84 - $1.44 and
Eagan $1.20 - $2.00. This can be further defined when Paul stops by.

The value of the information issue should be addressed to Scott Neal and Tom
Martin.

Jim,

Market Hub Partners is interested in selling the Moss Bluff and Eagan storage
facilities in addition to several properties under development. Our initial
view is that a generator such as Calpine or AEP will bid these assets beyond
their fair value. Nevertheless, we would like to visit the data room to
understand the commercial and operational aspects of these assets.

Three questions:
1. Are you at all interested in these assets?
2. What price would you be willing to pay for capacity in these assets say
for a (1, 3 and 5 year term).
3. Is the information value from these assets worth anything?

Paul Bienawski will stop by to brief you on the contents of the info memo we
received (summarized below).

Thanks,
Brian
