Corporation (&#8220;Gateway&#8221;), completed its acquisition of four pipelines and

the assets from Laser was made pursuant to an Asset Sales Agreement (the
&#8220;Agreement&#8221;), dated September 22, 2010, between Gateway Pipeline and Laser,
which agreement was previously disclosed on the Form 8-K filed by Gateway with

to the Agreement and subject to the terms contained therein, Gateway Pipeline
acquired the four pipelines and related assets for $1,100,000 in cash. The four
pipelines are located in Guadalupe and Shelby Counties, Texas, Miller County,
Arkansas, and Pettis County, Missouri. The pipelines deliver natural gas on an
exclusive basis to plants owned by Tyson Foods, Inc. (&#8220;Tyson&#8221;) pursuant to
contracts with Tyson.&#160; Gateway financed the acquisition through a combination
of cash on hand and bank debt under its existing credit facility with Meridian
Bank Texas.</font></p>
