John,

Attached is the estimated notional bid for the 10-year term gas
(9/2001-8/2011) delivered per your proposed project with National Fuel.

The bid as of Tuesday's closing prices comes to $4.63/MMBTU with the
following assumptions:

1) Per Goeff Storey, the basis spread is zero from the mid using the
CGPR-Niagara curve.

2) National Fuel will deliver the gas on the NFG system at Niagara. The
desired point per Storey would be on TCPL/Niagara system on the Canadian side
of the border and hence a 5 cent discount has been applied for transport.
It is possible that it could be negotiated with NFG to deliver the gas on the
TCPL/Niagara system.

3) Nymex bid is six cents off the mid for a ten year quote of this (small)
size.

Let me know if you have any further questions.

Thanks,

Charlie
