   Dear John:
    
   TENNESSEE GAS PIPELINE COMPANY and CONNECTICUT NATURAL GAS CORP (CNG) agree
   to amend the above referenced gas storage contract effective July 1, 1995,
   to increase the Maximum Daily Withdrawal Quantity (MDWQ) when Shipper's
   storage balance is equal to or less than 30% of the Maximum Storage
   Quantity (MSQ) and 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 4,067 dekatherms (Dth) and
   Maximum Storage Quantity (MSQ) of 610,003 (Dth) (on a cumulative basis) and
   on demand shall withdraw from Shipper's storage account and deliver to
   Shipper a daily quantity of gas up to Shipper's Maximum Daily Withdrawal
   Quantity (MDWQ) of 13,826 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 Withdrawal Quantity shall be 8,687 Dth;
   and provided further, that when Shipper's storage balance is less than or
   equal to 20% of the MSQ, the Maximum Daily Withdrawal Quantity shall be
   5,212 Dth.  For demand charge purposes, the MDWQ for balances greater than
   30% of the MSQ shall be used.
    
   Except as amended herein, all terms and provisions of the above referenced
   gas storage contract shall remain in full force and effect as written.

     
   If the foregoing is in accordance with your understanding of our agreement,
   please so indicate by signing and returning to my attention both originals
   of this letter.  Upon Tennessee's execution, an original will be forwarded
   to you for your files.
