Contracted Capacity: 230,000 MMBtu/d; Supported by 20-year firm transportation contracts




24

Project to serve a Power Plant Project in South Texas ($80 million capex)

Project consists of new receipt and delivery laterals, additional compression facilities and modification of our existing facilities to increase the operating capacity of certain sections of Gulf South Pipeline to serve a new natural gas-fired power plant in South Texas

Contracted Capacity: 185,000 MMBtud/d; Supported by a 20-year firm transportation contract


Northern Supply Access ($310 million capex)

Project will increase the firm north-to-south natural gas transmission capacity on Texas Gas by the addition of compression facilities and other system modifications

Project Capacity: 384,000 MMBtu/d

284,000 MMBtu/d contracted (1) (2)

100,000 MMBtu/d available (due to customer bankruptcy) (1)

Approx. Amount of North-to-South Capacity Being Marketed:• 100,000 MMBtu/d (1) included in the Northern Supply Access Project (available due to customer bankruptcy)• 270,000 MMBtu/d of additional north-to-south capacity remaining (requires incremental capex)

(1) Originally the Northern Supply Access Project’s full capacity of 384,000 MMBtu/d was supported by precedent agreements. However, a customer in bankruptcy rejected its commitment to purchase 100,000 MMBtu/d of capacity in the project, and we havean unsecured claim in the bankruptcy proceedings.

(2) A second customer, with a contracted capacity of 30,000 MMBtu/d in the project, did not increase its required credit support per the terms of its credit support agreement. A firm transportation agreement with this customer has been executed, and we are in discussions regarding the required credit support.

EBITDA Reconciliation

28

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) is used as a supplemental financial measure by

Boardwalk’s management and by external users of Boardwalk’s financial statements, such as investors, commercial banks,

research analysts and rating agencies, to assess Boardwalk’s operating and financial performance, ability to generate cash and

return on invested capital as compared to those of other companies in the natural gas and liquids transportation, gathering and

storage business. EBITDA should not be considered an alternative to net income, operating income, cash flow from operating

activities or any other measure of financial performance or liquidity presented in accordance with generally accepted

accounting principles (GAAP). EBITDA is not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures of another company. The

following table presents a reconciliation of Boardwalk’s EBITDA to its net income, the most directly comparable GAAP financial

measure, for each of the periods presented (in millions):
