Re: Transportation Contract Demand
Reduction for Contract 97VT
Gentlemen:
Pursuant to your letter dated June 1, 1994, wherein Southern California
Gas Company ("SoCalGas") exercised its option to reduce its Transportation
Contract Demand under that certain Transportation Service Agreement dated
October 16, 1990 between El Paso and SoCalGas, attached hereto for execution by
SoCalGas are two (2) original counterparts of revised Exhibits A and B to said
Transportation Service Agreement. These exhibits provide for the requested
reduction in Transportation Contract Demand effective January 1, 1996.
El Paso is preparing the appropriate application to be filed with the
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission evidencing the reduction of certificated
firm transportation quantities from 1,450,000 Mcf to 1,150,000 Mcf per day. By
execution of the revised Exhibits A and B attached hereto and of this letter in
the space provided below, SoCalGas evidences its written concurrence of the
abandonment by El Paso of 300,000 Mcf per day of certificated firm
transportation contract demand.
If the foregoing correctly sets forth the agreement between our two
companies on this matter, please execute the two (2) original counterparts of
revised Exhibits A and B and indicate your acceptance and agreement on the two
(2) original counterparts of this letter in the space provided below. Please
retain one original counterpart of the revised Exhibits A and B and one
original counterpart of
