BP Exploration & Production Inc. submits this letter to confirm that it supports the point of demarcation and respective responsibilities indicated in Caesar's notification. BP Exploration & Production Inc. further agrees that a reference to the associated ROW (OCS-G24634) and Segment Number (14007) will be included in future submittals for the section of pipeline for which BP Exploration & Production Inc. is responsible.

If you have any questions or require additional information, please contact the undersigned or Ms. Catherine Nesbit, 281-896-5128 or by e-mail to Cathetine.Nesbit® bp.com
