may from time to time be further amended or supplemented.



PAGE 1



2.2      Additional Defined Term.  Section 1.02 of the Credit Agreement is hereby further amended and
supplemented by adding the following new definition, which reads in its entirety as follows:

                            "Third Amendment" shall mean that certain Third Amendment and
         Supplement to Credit Agreement dated effective as of July 31st, 2002, among the Borrower, the
         Lenders party thereto and the Administrative Agent.

2.3      Indebtedness.  Clause (a) of Section 6.01 of the Credit Agreement is hereby supplemented to add
the following proviso at the end thereof:

                  "; further provided, however, Indebtedness assumed in connection with the
         acquisition of equity interests in Seminole Pipeline Company shall be included as Indebtedness assumed
         pursuant to this Section 6.01(a);"

2.4      Ratio of Consolidated Indebtedness to Consolidated EBITDA.  Section 6.07(b) of the Credit
Agreement is hereby amended in its entirety to read as follows:

                           "(b)     Ratio of Consolidated Indebtedness to Consolidated EBITDA. The
         Borrower shall not permit its ratio of Consolidated Indebtedness to Consolidated EBITDA in each
         case for each four full fiscal quarter period ending on the date set forth below to be greater
         than the correlative ratio indicated:

           Four Fiscal Quarter
              Period Ending                 Ratio

September 30, 2002                              6.00 to 1.00

December 31, 2002                               5.25 to 1.00

March 31, 2003                                  5.25 to 1.00

June 30, 2003                                   4.50 to 1.00

September 30, 2003 and for each four            4.00 to 1.00
full fiscal quarter period ending
thereafter

                           For purposes of calculating such ratio the Project Finance Subsidiaries shall
         be disregarded.  For purposes of this Section 6.07(b), if during any period of four fiscal
         quarters the Borrower or any Subsidiary acquires any Person (or any interest in any Person) or
         all or substantially all of the assets of any Person, the EBITDA attributable to such assets or
         an amount equal to the percentage of ownership of the Borrower or a Subsidiary, as the case may



PAGE 2



         be, in such Person times the EBITDA of such Person, for such period determined on a pro forma
         basis (which determination, in each case, shall be subject to approval of the Administrative
         Agent, not to be unreasonably withheld) may be included as Consolidated EBITDA for such period
         as if such acquisition occurred on the first day of such four fiscal quarter period;
         provided that during the portion of such period that follows such acquisition, the
         computation in respect of the EBITDA of such Person or such assets, as the case may be, shall
         be made on the basis of actual (rather than pro forma) results."

3.       Conditions Precedent.  In addition to all other applicable conditions precedent contained in the
Credit Agreement, the obligation of the Lenders party hereto and the Administrative Agent to enter into this
Third Amendment shall be conditioned upon the following conditions precedent:

(a)      The Administrative Agent shall have received a copy of this Third Amendment, duly completed and executed
by the Borrower and the Required Lenders; and acknowledged and ratified by the Limited Partner;

(b)      The Borrower or one of its Subsidiaries shall have acquired at least a 95% membership interest in the
limited liability company that owns 100% of Mid-America Pipeline Company LLC (formerly known as Mid-America
Pipeline Company); and

(c)      The Administrative Agent shall have received such other information, documents or instruments as it or
its counsel may reasonably request.

4.       Representations and Warranties.  The Borrower represents and warrants that:

(a)      there exists no Default or Event of Default, or any condition or act which constitutes, or with notice
or lapse of time or both would constitute, an Event of Default under the Credit Agreement, as hereby amended and
supplemented;

(b)      the Borrower has performed and complied with all covenants, agreements and conditions contained in the
Credit Agreement, as hereby amended and supplemented, required to be performed or complied with by it; and

(c)      the representations and warranties of the Borrower contained in the Credit Agreement, as hereby amended
and supplemented, were true and correct when made, and are true and correct in all material respects at and as of
the time of delivery of this Third Amendment, except to the extent such representations and warranties relate to
an earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties were true and correct in all material respects
as of such earlier date.

5.       Extent of Amendments.  Except as expressly herein set forth, all of the terms, conditions,
defined terms, covenants, representations, warranties and all other provisions of the Credit Agreement are herein
ratified and confirmed and shall remain in full force and effect.

6.       Counterparts.  This Third Amendment may be executed in two or more counterparts, and it shall not
be necessary that the signatures of all parties hereto be contained on any one counterpart hereof; each
counterpart shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and same instrument.

7.       References.  On and after the Third Amendment Effective Date, the terms "Agreement", "hereof",
"herein", "hereunder", and terms of like import when used in the Credit Agreement shall, except where the context
otherwise requires, refer to the Credit Agreement, as amended and supplemented by this Third Amendment.

         THIS THIRD AMENDMENT, THE CREDIT AGREEMENT, AS AMENDED HEREBY, THE NOTES AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS
REPRESENT THE FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR,
CONTEMPORANEOUS, OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES.

         THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES.

         This Third Amendment shall benefit and bind the parties hereto, as well as their respective assigns,
successors, heirs and legal representatives.
