Section 7 of the Offer to Purchase is amended by adding the following paragraph immediately prior to the fifth paragraph of such section:
"The Company advised EnCana USA that the foregoing projections were prepared by the Company based on various assumptions. The projections related to Average Daily Oil and Gas Production were prepared based primarily on the assumptions that:

The other financial projections were based primarily on the assumptions that:
2
$5.67, $5.71, $5.93, and $5.75 per Mmbtu for the first through the fourth quarter of 2004 and for the full year, respectively,
The foregoing assumptions were discussed with EnCana USA in connection with providing EnCana USA with the foregoing projections.

The Company has informed EnCana USA, Parent and Purchaser that it continues to believe, however, that the Net Earnings and Average Daily Oil and Gas Production for the remaining quarters of 2004 and for the entire 2004 calendar year will not be materially different than the amounts projected in the table above."
