outstanding (exclusive of Notes then owned by the Company or any Restricted Persons).

(“BIA”) for a total of approximately forty-four (44) miles of pipeline on a total of sixty-nine (69) Navajo allotments expired. These allotments are lands within the Navajo Nation reservation that are privately held but
administered by the BIA. One allottee (Mr. Leon Gibson) has made claims of trespass. The aforementioned allottee’s claim of trespass has been settled and his consent has been acquired. The BIA sent a letter dated January 20, 2004, noting
certain alleged deficiencies in the Company Application for a Grant of Right-of-Way to renew right-of-way on these allotments and requesting a revised appraisal based on pipeline corridor valuations. The Company has responded that this appraisal
methodology is not appropriate. New appraisals have been prepared in the 1st quarter of 2007 in compliance with BIA
specifications and a receipt of the Renewal Grant for a 20-year term is expected by the 3rd quarter of 2007.

 b. Southern Ute Tribe – the Company received letters dated May 27, 2003 and September 2, 2003 from the law firm of Maynes,
Bradford, Shipps & Sheftek, LLP, on behalf of the Southern Ute Tribe (“Tribe”) alleging trespass by the Company. The letters referenced a May 19, 2003 resolution by the Tribal Council 
 Schedule 5.10 
 Amendment No. 1 to Note
Purchase Agreement 
 (Replaces Schedule 5.10 to 
 Transwestern Pipeline Company, LLC Note Purchase Agreement) 

 of the Tribe, which revokes a 1996 resolution that granted the Tribe’s Consent to a Partial
Assignment by Northwest Pipeline Company (“Northwest”) to the Company of certain interests in a 1990 Grant of Easement and Right-of-Way, issued by the Secretary of the Interior through the BIA. An application by the Company for
approval of the assignment of this interest from Northwest has been in the possession of the BIA since 1999 with no action taken. The total distance of the right-of-way is approximately 6.6 miles. There is an approximate 3,100-foot “gap”
in the description of the right-of-way in the BIA grant. The right-of-way for these 6.6 miles expires in September 2005. In addition, an application is pending with the BIA to renew a meter site and a buried electric cable right-of-way for which the
Tribe has previously consented and which consent has not been revoked. The original right-of-way for the buried cable expired on November 16, 2000. The original right-of-way for the meter site expired on February 21, 2001. Agreement for
renewal of right-of way grants, between Southern Ute, Transwestern & Northwest, was concluded on June 14, 2006. A Grant of Easement for the pipeline [including the aforementioned 3,100-foot “gap”], buried cable and meter
station was executed by the BIA for a term of 15-years, with an expiration date of September 5, 2020. 
 c. Laguna Pueblo Allotments
– the Company received a letter dated March 19, 2003 from the DOI-BIA on behalf of two private allotments within the boundaries of the Laguna Pueblo, that the Company has been in trespass on these two allotments since December 28,
2002. The Company’s right-of-way on these two allotments expired on December 28, 2002. The total distance of the right-of-way is about 5,100 feet. New appraisals have been prepared in compliance with BIA specifications. Negotiations with
the 2 allotments are ongoing. 
 d. Navajo Nation Tribal Lands Renewal – As of January 1, 2004, the Company’s grant of
right-of-way by the DOI-BIA for a total of approximately 14 acres of land near Thoreau, N.M. expired. The Company is conducting remediation activities on this site. An application for renewal of approximately 7 acres has been submitted. The Navajo
Nation is receiving annual payments for the 7 acre remediation site under the same CPI formula as contained in the expired Grant. They have requested that no action be taken on renewal of the Grant for the immediate future. 
  

	5.	Other mortgages, liens or other encumbrances may exist which have not been subordinated to the title of the Company. For example, the majority of the property rights that acquired
for pipelines are in the nature of easements, and upon taking these easements the fee property may have already been subject to a variety of encumbrances such as a mortgage. The Company may have taken the easement subject to the mortgages and may
have not subsequently obtain a subordination from the mortgage company.

prepayment of Notes pursuant to any provision of this Agreement and no Notes may be issued in substitution or exchange for any such Notes. 
 Section 8.8. Make-Whole Amount. 
 “Make-Whole Amount” means, with respect to any Note, an amount equal
to the excess, if any, of the Discounted Value of the Remaining Scheduled Payments with respect to the Called Principal of such Note over the amount of such Called Principal, provided that the Make-Whole Amount may in no event be less than zero. For
the purposes of determining the Make Whole Amount, the following terms have the following meanings: 
 “Called Principal”
means, with respect to any Note, the principal of such Note that is to be prepaid pursuant to Section 8.2 or has become or is declared to be immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 12.1, as the context requires. 
 “Discounted Value” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, the amount obtained by discounting all Remaining Scheduled
Payments with respect to such Called Principal from their respective scheduled due dates to the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, in accordance with accepted financial practice and at a discount 

  

 - 17 - 

 
factor (applied on the same periodic basis as that on which interest on the Notes is payable) equal to the Reinvestment Yield with respect to such Called
Principal. 
 “Reinvestment Yield” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, 0.50% over the yield to maturity
implied by (i) the yields reported as of 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the second Business Day preceding the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, on the display designated as “Page PX1” (or such other display as
may replace Page PX1 on Bloomberg Financial Markets for the most recently issued actively traded on the run U.S. Treasury securities having a maturity equal to the Remaining Average Life of such Called Principal as of such Settlement Date, or
(ii) if such yields are not reported as of such time or the yields reported as of such time are not ascertainable (including by way of interpolation), the Treasury Constant Maturity Series Yields reported, for the latest day for which such
yields have been so reported as of the second Business Day preceding the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, in Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15 (519) (or any comparable successor publication) for U.S. Treasury
securities having a constant maturity equal to the Remaining Average Life of such Called Principal as of such Settlement Date. 
 In the case of each determination under clause (i) or clause (ii), as the case may be, of the preceding paragraph, such implied yield will be determined, if necessary, by (a) converting U.S. Treasury bill quotations to bond
equivalent yields in accordance with accepted financial practice and (b) interpolating linearly between (1) the applicable U.S. Treasury security with the maturity closest to and greater than such Remaining Average Life and (2) the
applicable U.S. Treasury security with the maturity closest to and less than such Remaining Average Life. The Reinvestment Yield shall be rounded to the number of decimal places as appears in the interest rate of the applicable Note. 
 “Remaining Average Life” means, with respect to any Called Principal, the number of years (calculated to the nearest one-twelfth year)
obtained by dividing (i) such Called Principal into (ii) the sum of the products obtained by multiplying (a) the principal component of each Remaining Scheduled Payment with respect to such Called Principal by (b) the number of
years (calculated to the nearest one-twelfth year) that will elapse between the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal and the scheduled due date of such Remaining Scheduled Payment. 
 “Remaining Scheduled Payments” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, all payments of such Called Principal and
interest thereon that would be due after the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal if no payment of such Called Principal were made prior to its scheduled due date, provided that if such Settlement Date is not a date on which
interest payments are due to be made under the terms of the Notes, then the amount of the next succeeding scheduled interest payment will be reduced by the amount of interest accrued to such Settlement Date and required to be paid on such Settlement
Date pursuant to Section 8.2 or Section 12.1. 
 “Settlement Date” means, with respect to the Called Principal of
any Note, the date on which such Called Principal is to be prepaid pursuant to Section 8.2 or has become or is 

  

 - 18 - 

 
declared to be immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 12.1, as the context requires.

Subsidiaries to comply, with all applicable laws, rules, regulations and orders (including, without limitation, the USA Patriot Act) of any Governmental Authority binding on it or any of its properties, except for such non-compliance as would not be
reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 (b) Payment of Taxes, Etc. Pay and discharge, and cause each of its
Subsidiaries to pay and discharge, before the same shall become delinquent, (i) all material taxes, assessments and governmental charges or levies imposed upon it or upon its property and (ii) all material lawful claims that, if unpaid,
might by law become a Lien upon its property; provided, however, that neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall be required to pay or discharge any such tax, assessment, charge or claim that is being contested in good faith and by
proper proceedings and as to which appropriate reserves are being maintained, unless and until any Lien resulting therefrom attaches to its property and becomes enforceable. 
 (c) Maintenance of Insurance. Maintain, and cause each of its Subsidiaries to maintain insurance with responsible and reputable insurance
companies or associations and such insurance shall be maintained in such amounts and covering such risks as is usually carried by companies engaged in similar businesses and owning similar properties in the same general areas in which the Company or
any of its Subsidiaries operates. 
 (d) Preservation of Corporate Existence, Etc. Except as expressly permitted by
Section 10(d), preserve and maintain, and cause each of its Subsidiaries to preserve and maintain, its legal existence, and, except as would not be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, its permits, licenses, approvals,
privileges and franchises necessary to the normal conduct of its business.

 (f) Maintenance of Properties, Etc. Maintain and
preserve, and cause each of its Subsidiaries to maintain and preserve, all of its Properties that are used or useful in the conduct of its business in accordance with the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ established maintenance plan as in

 (g) Transactions with Affiliates. Conduct, and cause each of its
Subsidiaries to conduct, all transactions otherwise permitted under the Loan Documents with any of their Affiliates on terms that are no less favorable to the Company or such Subsidiary than it would obtain in a comparable arm’s-length
transaction with a Person not an Affiliate. 
  

 - 19 - 

 (h) Covenant Regarding Subsidiaries. Upon the formation or acquisition by the Company or any of
its Subsidiaries of any new direct or indirect Subsidiary that is organized under the laws of any political subdivision of the United States of America, within ten (10) days after such formation or acquisition, at the Company’s election,

guaranteeing the obligations of the Company and the other Subsidiary Guarantors under the Loan Documents and to provide an opinion of outside counsel of nationally recognized standing to the effect that each Subsidiary Guaranty is a legal, valid and
binding obligation of such Subsidiary Guarantor, enforceable against such Subsidiary Guarantor in accordance with its terms, or (ii) notify each holder of Notes that such Subsidiary shall not be a Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder (each such
Subsidiary, a “Non-Guarantor Subsidiary”) and shall cause such Subsidiary to be in compliance with Section 10(a) and Section 10(b) to the extent applicable to a Non-Guarantor Subsidiary in addition to any other provisions
of the Loan Documents applicable to any Subsidiary of the Company.

property, equipment or other fixed or capital assets or to secure Debt incurred for the purpose of financing the acquisition, construction or improvement of any such property, equipment or other fixed or capital assets, or Liens existing on any such
property, equipment or other fixed or capital assets at the time of acquisition, or extensions, renewals or replacements of any of the foregoing for the same or a lesser amount; provided that no such Lien shall extend to or cover any property

certificate to all holders of Notes describing in reasonable detail such non-compliance and the Debt to be secured by such Lien (including details of such Lien) and (B) the Company and/or such Subsidiary shall make, or cause to be made,
effective a provision whereby the Notes will be equally and ratably secured with the Debt with respect to which there is non-compliance with the limitation on Liens set forth in this Section 10(a)(iv), such security to be pursuant to an
agreement reasonably satisfactory to the Required Holders and, in any such case, the holders of Notes shall have the benefit, to the fullest extent that, and with such priority as, the holders of the Notes may be entitled under applicable law, of an

Section 12. REMEDIES ON DEFAULT, ETC. 
 Section 12.1. Acceleration. 
 (a) If an Event of Default with respect to the Company described in Section 11(g)(i)
or Section 11(g)(ii) has occurred and is continuing, all the Notes then outstanding shall automatically become immediately due and payable. 
 (b) If any other Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Required Holders may at any time at its or their option, by notice or notices to the Company, declare all the Notes then outstanding to be immediately due and payable.

 (c) If any Event of Default described in Section 11(a) or Section 11(b) has occurred and is continuing, any holder or holders of
Notes at the time outstanding affected by such Event of Default may at any time, at its or their option, by notice or notices to the Company, declare all the Notes held by it or them to be immediately due and payable. 
 Upon any Notes becoming due and payable under this Section 12.1, whether automatically or by declaration, such Notes will forthwith mature and the
entire unpaid principal amount of such Notes, plus (i) all accrued and unpaid interest thereon (including, but not limited to, interest accrued thereon at the Default Rate) and (ii) the Make-Whole Amount determined in respect of such
principal amount (to the full extent permitted by applicable Law), shall all be immediately due and payable, in each and every case without presentment, demand, protest or further notice, all of which are hereby waived. The Company acknowledges, and
the parties 

  

 - 25 - 

 
hereto agree, that each holder of a Note has the right to maintain its investment in the Notes free from repayment by the Company (except as herein
specifically provided for) and that the provision for payment of a Make-Whole Amount by the Company in the event that the Notes are prepaid or are accelerated as a result of an Event of Default, is intended to provide compensation for the
deprivation of such right under such circumstances. 
 Section 12.2. Other Remedies. 
 If any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and irrespective of whether any Notes have become or have been declared immediately due
and payable under Section 12.1, the holder of any Note at the time outstanding may proceed to protect and enforce the rights of such holder by an action at law, suit in equity or other appropriate proceeding, whether for the specific
performance of any agreement contained herein or in any Note, or for an injunction against a violation of any of the terms hereof or thereof, or in aid of the exercise of any power granted hereby or thereby or by Law or otherwise. 
 Section 12.3. Rescission. 
 At
any time after any Notes have been declared due and payable pursuant to Section 12.1(b) or Section 12.1(c), Required Holders, by written notice to the Company, may rescind and annul any such declaration and its consequences if (a) the
Company has paid all overdue interest on the Notes, all principal of and Make-Whole Amount, if any, on any Notes that are due and payable and are unpaid other than by reason of such declaration, and all interest on such overdue principal and
Make-Whole Amount, if any, and (to the extent permitted by applicable Law) any overdue interest in respect of the Notes, at the Default Rate, (b) neither the Company nor any other Person shall have paid any amounts which have become due solely
by reason of such declaration, (c) all Events of Default and Defaults, other than non-payment of amounts that have become due solely by reason of such declaration, have been cured or have been waived pursuant to Section 17, and (d) no
judgment or decree has been entered for the payment of any monies due pursuant hereto or to the Notes. No rescission and annulment under this Section 12.3 will extend to or affect any subsequent Event of Default or Default or impair any right
consequent thereon. 
 Section 12.4. No Waivers or Election of Remedies, Expenses, Etc. 
 No course of dealing and no delay on the part of any holder of any Note in exercising any right, power or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof or
otherwise prejudice such holder’s rights, powers or remedies. No right, power or remedy conferred by this Agreement or by any Note upon any holder thereof shall be exclusive of any other right, power or remedy referred to herein or therein or
now or hereafter available at law, in equity, by statute or otherwise. Without limiting the obligations of the Company under Section 15, the Company will pay to the holder of each Note on demand such further amount as shall be sufficient to
cover all costs and expenses of such holder incurred in any enforcement or collection under this Section 12, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, expenses and disbursements.

 within ten Business Days thereafter, the Company at its own expense shall execute and deliver, in lieu thereof, a new Note, dated and bearing interest from the date to
which interest shall have been paid on such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Note or dated the date of such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Note if no interest shall have been paid thereon.

principal executive office or at the place of payment most recently designated by the Company pursuant to Section 14.1. Prior to any sale or other disposition of any Note held by a Purchaser or its nominee, such Purchaser will, at its election,
either endorse thereon the amount of principal paid thereon and the last date to which interest has been paid thereon or surrender such Note to the Company in exchange for a new Note or Notes pursuant to Section 13.2. The Company will afford
the benefits of this Section 14.2 to any Institutional Investor that is the direct or indirect transferee of any Note purchased by a Purchaser under this Agreement and that has made the same agreement relating to such Note as the Purchasers

or omission by such Purchaser or any person acting on such Purchaser’s behalf, (c) otherwise becomes known to such Purchaser other than through disclosure by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or (d) constitutes financial

each case, any similar organization, or any nationally recognized rating agency that requires access to information about such Purchaser’s investment portfolio, or (viii) any other Person to which such delivery or disclosure may be
necessary or appropriate (w) to effect compliance with any law, rule, regulation or order applicable to such Purchaser, (x) in response to any subpoena or other legal process, (y) in connection with any litigation to which such
Purchaser is a party or (z) if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to the extent such Purchaser may reasonably determine such delivery and disclosure to be necessary or appropriate in the enforcement or for the protection of the

to be entitled to the benefits of this Section 20 as though it were a party to this Agreement. On reasonable request by the Company in connection with
the delivery to any holder of a Note of information required to be delivered to such holder under this Agreement or requested by such holder (other than a holder that is a party to this Agreement or its nominee), such holder will enter into an
agreement with the Company embodying the provisions of this Section 20. 
 Section 21. SUBSTITUTION OF PURCHASER. 
 Each Purchaser shall have the right to substitute any one of its Affiliates as the purchaser of the Notes that it has agreed to purchase hereunder, by
written notice to the Company, which notice shall be signed by both such Purchaser and such Affiliate, shall contain such Affiliate’s agreement to be bound by this Agreement and shall contain a confirmation by such Affiliate of the accuracy
with respect to it of the representations set forth in Section 6. Upon receipt of such notice, any reference to such Purchaser in this Agreement (other than in this Section 21), shall be deemed to refer to such Affiliate in lieu of such
original Purchaser. In the event that such Affiliate is so substituted as a Purchaser hereunder and such Affiliate thereafter transfers to such original Purchaser all of the Notes then held by such Affiliate, upon receipt by the Company of notice of
such transfer, any reference to such Affiliate as a “Purchaser” in this Agreement (other than in this Section 21), shall no longer be deemed to refer to such Affiliate, but shall refer to such original Purchaser, and such original
Purchaser shall again have all the rights of an original holder of the Notes under this Agreement. 
 Section 22. MISCELLANEOUS. 
 Section 22.1. Successors and Assigns. 
 All covenants and other agreements contained in this Agreement by or on behalf of any of the parties hereto bind and inure to the benefit of their respective successors and assigns (including, without limitation, any subsequent holder of a
Note) whether so expressed or not. 
 Section 22.2. Payments Due on Non-Business Days. 
 Anything in this Agreement or the Notes to the contrary notwithstanding (but without limiting the requirement in Section 8.6 that the notice of any
optional prepayment specify a Business Day as the date fixed for such prepayment), any payment of principal of or Make-Whole Amount or interest on any Note that is due on a date other than a Business Day shall be made on the next succeeding Business
Day without including the additional days elapsed in the computation of the interest payable on such next succeeding Business Day; provided that if the maturity date of any Note is a date other than a Business Day, the payment otherwise due
on such maturity date shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and shall include the additional days elapsed in the computation of interest payable on such next succeeding Business Day. 
 Section 22.3. Accounting Terms. 
 All accounting terms used herein which are not expressly defined in this Agreement have the meanings respectively given to them in accordance with GAAP. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, (i) all computations made

in accordance with GAAP, and (ii) all financial statements shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP. 
 Section 22.4. Severability. 
 Any
provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any
such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall (to the full extent permitted by Law) not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. 
 Section 22.5. Construction, Etc. 
 Each covenant contained herein shall be construed (absent express provision to the contrary) as being independent of each other covenant contained herein, so that compliance with any one covenant shall not (absent such an express contrary
provision) be deemed to excuse compliance with any other covenant. Where any provision herein refers to action to be taken by any Person, or which such Person is prohibited from taking, such provision shall be applicable whether such action is taken
directly or indirectly by such Person. 
 For the avoidance of doubt, all Schedules and Exhibits attached to this Agreement shall be deemed
to be a part hereof. 
 Section 22.6. Counterparts. 
 This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original but all of which together shall constitute one instrument. Each counterpart may consist of a number of copies hereof,
each signed by less than all, but together signed by all, of the parties hereto. 
 Section 22.7. Governing Law. 
 This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, and the rights of the parties shall be governed by, the law of the State of New York.

 Section 22.8. Jurisdiction and Process; Waiver of Jury Trial. 
 (a) The Company and each of the Purchasers irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any New York State or federal court sitting in the
Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, over any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Notes. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, the Company and each of the Purchasers, irrevocably waives
and agrees not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense or otherwise, any claim that it is not subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action or
proceeding brought in any such court and any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. 
  

 - 34 -

action or proceeding of the nature referred to in Section 22.8(a) by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, return receipt requested, to it at its address specified
in Section 18 or at such other address of which such holder shall then have been notified pursuant to said Section. Each Purchaser consents to process being served by or on behalf of the Company in any suit, action or proceeding of the nature
referred to in Section 22.8(a) by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, return receipt requested, to it at its address specified in Section 18 or at such other
address of which the Company shall then have been notified pursuant to said Section. The Company and each of the Purchasers agree that such respective service upon receipt (i) shall be deemed in every respect effective service of process upon
it in any such suit, action or proceeding and (ii) shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, be taken and held to be valid personal service upon and personal delivery to it. Notices hereunder shall be conclusively presumed
received as evidenced by a delivery receipt furnished by the United States Postal Service or any reputable commercial delivery service. 
 (c) Nothing in this Section 22.8 shall affect the right of any holder of a Note to serve process in any manner permitted by Law, or limit any right that the holders of any of the Notes may have to bring proceedings against the Company
in the courts of any appropriate jurisdiction or to enforce in any lawful manner a judgment obtained in one jurisdiction in any other jurisdiction. 
 (d) The parties hereto hereby waive trial by jury in any action brought on or with respect to this Agreement, the Notes or any other document executed in connection herewith or therewith.

permitted under, and in compliance with, Section 10(f) of the Note Purchase Agreement (including, in particular, Section 10(f)(ii) thereof) unless and until the Obligations shall have been paid in full, and the Company agrees not to make
any such payment. The Company may not make any payments, whether of principal and/or interest and/or other amounts, on the Subordinated Debt unless the Company makes such payments as permitted under and in compliance with Section 10(f) of the

case or proceeding under any federal or state bankruptcy or similar law or upon an assignment for the benefit of creditors or any other marshaling of the assets and liabilities of the Company or otherwise, the holders of the Notes shall be entitled
to receive payment in full of the Obligations before the Subordinated Lender is entitled to receive any payment of all or any of such Subordinated Debt, and any payment or distribution of any kind (whether in cash, property or securities) that
otherwise would be payable or deliverable upon or with respect to such Subordinated Debt in any such case, proceeding, assignment, 

 
marshaling or otherwise (including any payment that may be payable by reason of any other indebtedness of the Company being subordinated to payment of the
Subordinated Debt) shall be paid or delivered directly to the holders of the Notes for application (in the case of cash) to, or as collateral (in the case of non-cash property or securities) for, the payment or prepayment of the Obligations until
the Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full (“Payment in Full”).

the Company for or on account of any Subordinated Debt, and the Subordinated Lender shall not take or receive from the Company, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by set-off or in any other manner, including, without limitation,

	4.	Native American Lands: 

 a. Navajo Nation Allotment Renewal – As of January 1, 2004, the Company’s Grant of Right-of-Way by the U.S. Department of Interior (“DOI”), Bureau of Indian Affairs
(“BIA”) for a total of approximately forty-four (44) miles of pipeline on a total of sixty-nine (69) Navajo allotments expired. These allotments are lands within the Navajo Nation reservation that are privately held but
administered by the BIA. One allottee (Mr. Leon Gibson) has made claims of trespass. The aforementioned allottee’s claim of trespass has been settled and his consent has been acquired. The BIA sent a letter dated January 20, 2004, noting
certain alleged deficiencies in the Company Application for a Grant of Right-of-Way to renew right-of-way on these allotments and requesting a revised appraisal based on pipeline corridor valuations. The Company has responded that this appraisal
methodology is not appropriate. New appraisals have been prepared in the 1st quarter of 2007 in compliance with BIA
specifications and a receipt of the Renewal Grant for a 20-year term is expected by the 3rd quarter of 2007.

 b. Southern Ute Tribe – the Company received letters dated May 27, 2003 and September 2, 2003 from the law firm of Maynes,
Bradford, Shipps & Sheftek, LLP, on behalf of the Southern Ute Tribe (“Tribe”) alleging trespass by the Company. The letters referenced a May 19, 2003 resolution by the Tribal Council of the Tribe, which revokes a 1996
resolution that granted the Tribe’s Consent to a Partial Assignment by Northwest Pipeline Company (“Northwest”) to the Company of certain interests in a 1990 Grant of Easement and Right-of-Way, issued by the Secretary of the
Interior through the BIA. An application by the Company for approval of the assignment of this interest from Northwest has been in the possession of the BIA since 1999 with no action taken. The total distance of the right-of-way is approximately 6.6
miles. There is an approximate 3,100-foot “gap” in the description of the right-of-way in the BIA grant. The right-of-way for these 6.6 miles expires in September 2005. In addition, an application is pending with the BIA to renew a meter
site and a buried electric cable right-of-way for which the Tribe has previously consented and which consent has not 

 
been revoked. The original right-of-way for the buried cable expired on November 16, 2000. The original right-of-way for the meter site expired on
February 21, 2001. Agreement for renewal of right-of way grants, between Southern Ute, Transwestern & Northwest, was concluded on June 14, 2006. A Grant of Easement for the pipeline (including the aforementioned 3,100-foot
“gap”), buried cable and meter station was executed by the BIA for a term of 15-years, with an expiration date of September 5, 2020. 
 c. Laguna Pueblo Allotments – the Company received a letter dated March 19, 2003 from the DOI-BIA on behalf of two private allotments within the boundaries of the Laguna Pueblo, that the Company has been in trespass on these two
allotments since December 28, 2002. The Company’s right-of-way on these two allotments expired on December 28, 2002. The total distance of the right-of-way is about 5,100 feet. New appraisals have been prepared in compliance with BIA
specifications. Negotiations with the 2 allotments are ongoing. 
 d. Navajo Nation Tribal Lands Renewal – As of January 1, 2004,
the Company’s grant of right-of-way by the DOI-BIA for a total of approximately 14 acres of land near Thoreau, N.M. expired. The Company is conducting remediation activities on this site. An application for renewal of approximately 7 acres has
been submitted. The Navajo Nation is receiving annual payments for the 7 acre remediation site under the same CPI formula as contained in the expired Grant. They have requested that no action be taken on renewal of the Grant for the immediate
future. 
 5. Other mortgages, liens or other encumbrances may exist which have not been subordinated to the title of the Company. For example, the majority
of the property rights that were acquired for pipelines are in the nature of easements, and upon taking these easements the fee property may have already been subject to a variety of encumbrances such as a mortgage. The Company may have taken the
easement subject to the mortgages and may have not subsequently obtain a subordination from the mortgage company. 
  

	6.	Encumbrances
