Re: Proposed Measuring Station No. 738314

Dear Mr. Lockwood:

The purpose of this letter agreement is to amend certain terms and provisions of that certain letter agreement dated May 11, 2004, entered into between Lima Energy Company (Customer) and Columbia Gas Transmission Corporation (Columbia). Customer and Columbia agree to the following:

 

  1) Columbia understands that Customer expects to finance the Lima Energy project by no later than the end of the fourth-quarter 2005.

 

  2) Customer understands that the estimated cost of $6,877,888.00 set forth in the May 11, 2004 letter agreement may no longer be representative of the actual project cost due to increases in the cost of materials, contractor costs, and other unforeseen costs that may be realized at the time of installation/construction. Customer, however, agrees to pay Columbia 100% of the difference, if any, between the actual costs and the estimated cost of $6,877,888.00 within thirty (30) days of the date of the final invoice.

Except as provided herein, all other terms and provisions of the May 11, 2004 letter agreement shall remain in full force and affect.
