Goodwill is recorded at the acquisition date based on a preliminary purchase price allocation and generally
may be adjusted when the purchase price allocation is finalized. A net increase in goodwill of $35.7 million
was recorded during the year ended December 31, 2010, primarily due to $27.3 million from the acquisition
of the natural gas gathering company referenced in Note 3. This additional goodwill is expected to be
deductible for tax purposes.
