(the "KMI Common Stock"). The principal terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Schedule 13D. Except as specifically provided herein, this Amendment No. 1 does not modify any of the information previously reported on the Schedule 13D. This Amendment No. 1 speaks as of its date and no inference should be drawn that no change has occurred in the facts set forth herein after the date hereof. The Reporting Person intends to participate with a group of other investors in a proposal to acquire all of the outstanding KMI Common Stock. Promptly after the filing of this Amendment No. 1 to the Schedule 13D, the persons participating in such proposal, including the Reporting Person, intend to file a statement on Schedule 13D with respect to the KMI Common Stock as a group (the "Group Schedule 13D"). Once the Group Schedule 13D is filed, the Schedule 13D shall be considered amended and supplemented by the Group Schedule 13D and any and all amendments thereto, and no additional amendments to the Schedule 13D will be made unless or until the Group Schedule 13D is no longer applicable. Readers are directed to the Group Schedule 13D and any and all amendments thereto for future information regarding the Reporting Person with respect to the KMI Common Stock. ITEM 1. SECURITY AND ISSUER No change. ITEM 2. IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND. (b) The business address of the Reporting Person is 500 Dallas Street, Suite 1000, Houston, Texas 77002. ITEM 3.

The Governance Agreement has expired and the Group Schedule 13D will be filed, so Item 4 is amended and restated to read as follows: (a)-(j) The Reporting Person intends to participate with a group of other investors in a proposal to acquire all of the outstanding KMI Common Stock. The persons participating in such proposal, including the Reporting Page 3 of 5 Person, intend to file the Group Schedule 13D, which will provide additional information regarding the acquisition proposal. The Reporting Person may make additional purchases of KMI Common Stock either in the open market or in private transactions. The Reporting Person reserves the right to formulate specific plans or proposals with respect to, or to change his intentions regarding, any or all of the foregoing. ITEM 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER. No changes. ITEM 6. CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS OR RELATIONSHIPS WITH RESPECT TO SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER. The Governance Agreement has expired, so all references to the "Governance Agreement" in Item 6 are deleted. ITEM 7. MATERIAL TO BE FILED AS EXHIBITS.
