KINDER MORGAN, INC.

April 2, 2012

Dear El Paso Corporation Stockholder:

This package is being mailed to you as a stockholder of record of El Paso Corporation (formerly known as Sirius Holdings Merger Corporation and referred to herein as “New El Paso”) in connection with the acquisition of New El Paso by Kinder Morgan, Inc. (“Kinder Morgan”) pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of October 16, 2011 (as it may be amended from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”), entered into by, among others, Kinder Morgan and New El Paso. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Kinder Morgan will acquire New El Paso through a series of steps, which include what are referred to as the first merger and the second merger. The first merger involved only El Paso LLC (formerly a Delaware corporation known as El Paso Corporation and referred to herein as “Old El Paso”) and two of its then subsidiaries. Pursuant to the first merger, which occurred on March 26, 2012, each outstanding share of Old El Paso common stock was converted into one share of New El Paso common stock.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the second merger, each share of New El Paso common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the second merger (excluding shares held by New El Paso in treasury, any shares held by Kinder Morgan or any of Kinder Morgan’s or New El Paso’s subsidiaries and dissenting shares in accordance with Delaware law) will be converted into the right to receive, at the election of the holder but subject to proration, adjustment and certain limitations as set forth in the Merger Agreement, one of the following:

•

0.9635 of a share of Kinder Morgan Class P common stock (which, based on $38.60, the closing price of Kinder Morgan Class P common stock as of March 23, 2012 had a value of $37.19 on a rounded basis) and 0.640 of a warrant to purchase one share of Kinder Morgan Class P common stock (the “Per Share Warrant Consideration”) (a “Stock Election”);

•

$25.91 in cash without interest and the Per Share Warrant Consideration (a “Cash Election”); or

•

0.4187 of a share of Kinder Morgan Class P common stock (which, based on $38.60, the closing price of Kinder Morgan Class P common stock as of March 23, 2012 had a value of $16.16 on a rounded basis), $14.65 in cash without interest and the Per Share Warrant Consideration (a “Mixed Election”).

The first merger and second merger were considered and approved at a special meeting of Old El Paso stockholders held on March 9, 2012. Pending receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals and the satisfaction of certain other closing conditions specified in the Merger Agreement, we currently expect that the second merger will be consummated in May 2012.

Enclosed is an Election Form and Letter of Transmittal and related documents that pertain to the second merger. In addition, enclosed is an Election and Transmittal Information Booklet for your reference. In order to make an election, please complete, sign and return the Election Form and Letter of Transmittal, with either (i) all stock certificate(s) (if applicable) representing your shares of New El Paso common stock or confirmation of book-entry transfer, as applicable, or (ii) a properly completed Notice of Guaranteed Delivery, together with any other documentation reasonably required by Kinder Morgan’s exchange agent, Computershare Trust Company, N.A. (the “Exchange Agent”), to the Exchange Agent at one of the addresses set forth below so that it is RECEIVED no later than the Election Deadline. Do not send your election materials to New El Paso, Old El Paso, Kinder Morgan or the Information Agent.

The deadline for submitting election forms (the “Election Deadline”) has not yet been determined. Kinder Morgan, Inc. will publicly announce the anticipated Election Deadline at least five business days prior to the Election Deadline. The effective time of the second merger will occur two business days after the Election Deadline. Election forms must be RECEIVED by the Exchange Agent no later than 5:00 p.m., New York time, on the date of the Election Deadline. You will have at least twenty business days (and thirty calendar days) from the first date on which this Election Form and Letter of Transmittal is mailed to make your election. In the event that the expected effective time of the second merger and the Election Deadline change, we will announce the revised dates in a press release, on our web sites at www.kindermorgan.com and www.elpaso.com and in a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). You may also obtain up-to-date information regarding the Election Deadline by calling MacKenzie Partners, Inc., Kinder Morgan’s information agent (the “Information Agent”), at (800) 322-2885. If you hold your shares of New El Paso common stock in “street name” or in another manner, you may be subject to an earlier deadline. You bear the risk of ensuring proper and timely delivery. Therefore, we encourage you to submit your election materials promptly.

If you do not make a valid election, you will be deemed to have made a Mixed Election with respect to your shares of New El Paso common stock.

The Exchange Agent, in its sole discretion, will determine whether any Election Form and Letter of Transmittal is received on a timely basis and whether an Election Form and Letter of Transmittal has been properly completed.

2. Revocation or Change of Election Form: Any Election Form and Letter of Transmittal may be revoked or changed by written notice from the person submitting such form to the Exchange Agent, but to be effective such notice must be received by the Exchange Agent at or prior to the Election Deadline. The Exchange Agent will have discretion to determine whether any revocation or change is received on a timely basis and whether any such revocation or change has been properly made.

5. Signatures: If this Election Form and Letter of Transmittal is signed by the registered holder(s) of the shares surrendered, the signature(s) must correspond exactly with the name(s) as written on the face of the certificate(s) surrendered or on the assignment authorizing transfer, without alteration, enlargement or any change whatsoever. Do not sign the certificate(s) because signatures are not required if the certificate(s) surrendered herewith are submitted by the registered owner of such shares who has not completed the section entitled “Special Payment and Issuance Instructions” or are for the account of an Eligible Institution (as defined below). If any of the shares surrendered hereby are owned by two or more joint owners, all such owners must sign the Election Form and Letter of Transmittal exactly as written on the face of the certificate(s). If any shares are registered in different names on several certificates, it will be necessary to complete, sign and submit as many separate Election Forms and Letters of Transmittal as there are different registrations. Election Forms and Letters of Transmittal executed by trustees, executors, administrators, guardians, attorneys-in-fact, officers of corporations or others acting in a fiduciary capacity who are not identified as such to the registration must be accompanied by proper evidence of the signatory’s authority to act.

6. Guarantee of Signatures: No signature guarantee is required on this Election Form and Letter of Transmittal if (a)(i) this Election Form and Letter of Transmittal is signed by the registered holder(s) (including any participant in the Book-Entry Transfer Facility’s systems whose name appears on a security position listing as the owner of such shares) of shares surrendered with this Election Form and Letter of Transmittal and (ii) such registered holder has not completed either the box entitled “Special Delivery Instructions” or the box entitled “Special Payment and Issuance Instructions”; or (b) such shares are surrendered for the account of a firm that is a bank, broker, dealer, credit union, savings association or other entity which is a member in good standing of the Securities Transfer Agents’ Medallion Program (each, an “Eligible Institution”). In all other cases, all signatures on this Election Form and Letter of Transmittal must be guaranteed by an Eligible Institution.

7. Special Payment and Issuance Instructions: If the merger consideration is to be made payable to or registered in a name other than the name(s) that appear(s) on the surrendered certificate(s), indicate the name(s) and address in the box captioned “Special Payment and Issuance Instructions.” The stockholder(s) named will be considered the record owner(s) and should complete the section entitled “Signatures Required” and the Substitute Form W-9 (or the appropriate IRS Form W-8 if you are a non-U.S. stockholder, a copy of which can be obtained at www.irs.gov). If the section entitled “Special Payment and Issuance Instructions” is completed, then signatures on this Election Form and Letter of Transmittal must be guaranteed by a firm that is an Eligible Institution. If the surrendered stock certificate(s) are registered in the name of a person other than the signer of this Election Form and Letter of Transmittal, or if issuance is to be made to a person other than the signer of this Election Form and Letter of Transmittal or if the issuance is to be made to a person other than the registered owner(s), then the surrendered certificate(s) must be endorsed or accompanied by duly executed stock powers, in each case signed exactly as the name(s) of the registered owner(s) appear on such certificate(s) or stock power(s), with the signatures on the certificate(s) or stock power(s) guaranteed by an Eligible Institution as provided herein.

8. Special Delivery Instructions: If the merger consideration is to be delivered to another address than that set forth next to the signature of the registered holder, indicate the address in the box captioned “Special Delivery Instructions.” If the section entitled “Special Delivery Instructions” is completed, then signatures on this Election Form and Letter of Transmittal must be guaranteed by a firm that is an Eligible Institution.

9. IRS Form W-9: Under U.S. Federal income tax law, a non-exempt stockholder is required to provide the Exchange Agent with such stockholder’s correct Taxpayer Identification Number (“TIN”) on the enclosed Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) Form W-9. Stockholders who have a Form W-9 on file with the Exchange Agent do not need to provide another Form W-9 to the Exchange Agent. If the certificate(s) are in more than one name or are not in the name of the actual owner, consult the instructions included on the enclosed IRS Form W-9 for additional guidance on which number to report. Failure to provide the information on the form may subject the surrendering stockholder to U.S. federal income tax withholding (currently at a rate of 28% and scheduled to increase to 31% in 2013) on the payment of any cash. If a TIN has not been issued to a surrendering stockholder and such stockholder has applied for a number or intends to apply for a number in the near future, such stockholder must write “Applied For” in the space for the TIN on the enclosed IRS Form W-9. If a TIN has been applied for and the Exchange Agent is not provided with a TIN before payment is made, backup withholding (currently at a rate of 28% and scheduled to increase to 31% in 2013) will apply to all payments to such surrendering stockholders of any cash consideration due for their former shares. Please review the instructions included on the enclosed IRS Form W-9 for additional information.

An Election Form and Letter of Transmittal is being mailed to each stockholder holding New El Paso common stock as of the record date. It is to be used to make a mixed, cash or stock election and to surrender stock certificate(s). If you also hold shares with a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee, you will receive separate instructions from that broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee.

2.	What is the Election Form and Letter of Transmittal?

The enclosed Election Form and Letter of Transmittal does two things. First, it lets us know your preferred form of payment for your shares of New El Paso common stock. Second, it allows you to surrender your stock certificate(s) (if applicable) in order to receive payment for the shares of New El Paso common stock that you own.

3.	How do I complete the Election Form and Letter of Transmittal?

The Election Form and Letter of Transmittal is divided into separate sections. Instructions for completing each section are set forth in the Election Form and Letter of Transmittal, where applicable.

When completed, please sign and date the Election Form and Letter of Transmittal and send it to the Exchange Agent in the enclosed envelope along with your stock certificate(s) (if applicable) so that you can make your election to receive either (i) cash and warrants to purchase shares of Kinder Morgan Class P common stock, (ii) shares of Kinder Morgan Class P common stock and warrants to purchase shares of Kinder Morgan Class P common stock or (iii) a combination of cash and shares of Kinder Morgan Class P common stock and warrants to purchase shares of Kinder Morgan Class P common stock. Please see Question 14 for important information concerning the transmittal of your Election Form and Letter of Transmittal to the Exchange Agent. Please note that if your shares are held jointly, signatures of both owners are required.

Consistent with the terms of the Merger Agreement, the Election Form and Letter of Transmittal authorizes the Exchange Agent to take all actions necessary to accomplish the delivery of the shares of Kinder Morgan Class P common stock, warrants to purchase shares of Kinder Morgan Class P common stock and/or cash in exchange for your shares of New El Paso common stock.

Please return your stock certificate(s) (if applicable) along with the Election Form and Letter of Transmittal in the enclosed envelope. Do not sign the back of your stock certificate(s) except in those circumstances described in Instruction 7 on the Instruction Letter.

4.	How do I make an election if I hold my shares through a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee?

If you hold your shares of New El Paso common stock through a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee, you should instruct such broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee what election to make on your behalf by carefully following the instructions you will receive from your broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee. An election will not be made on your behalf absent your instructions. You may be subject to an earlier deadline for making your election. Please contact your broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee with any questions.

5.	When is my Election Form and Letter of Transmittal due?

Your Election Form and Letter of Transmittal and your stock certificate(s) (if applicable) must be RECEIVED by the Exchange Agent by the Election Deadline, which will be 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the second business day prior to the effective time of the second merger. If you hold your shares through a broker, bank, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee, you must return your election instructions to them in time for them to respond by the Election Deadline. Please refer to the instructions provided by your broker, bank, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee.

6.	What if I do not send a form of election or it is not received?

If you do not make a valid election with respect to any New El Paso shares you own of record, after completion of the proposed transactions, you will receive written instructions from the Exchange Agent on how to exchange your New El Paso shares for the merger consideration.

If you do not make a valid election for any reason, then you will have no control over the type of merger consideration you receive. New El Paso stockholders not making a valid election will be deemed to have made a Mixed Election. You will be deemed to have made a Mixed Election if:

•

You fail to follow the instructions on the “Election Form and Letter of Transmittal” or otherwise fail properly to make an election;

•

A properly completed “Election Form and Letter of Transmittal,” together with your stock certificate(s) (if applicable), confirmation of book-entry transfer or a properly completed Notice of Guaranteed Delivery, is not received by the Exchange Agent at or before the Election Deadline;

•

You properly and timely revoke a prior election without making a new election; or

•

You check the “No Election” box on the Election Form.

You bear the risk of proper and timely delivery.

7.	I have received more than one set of election materials related to the Merger Agreement in connection with the election. Do I need to complete them all?

Yes. If you received more than one set of election materials, this indicates that you own stock in more than one manner, that you own stock in more than one name or that you hold New El Paso equity awards. For example, you may have shares registered directly with New El Paso; you may own New El Paso shares through a third party, such as a broker; you may own shares in both single name and joint name; or you may hold options to purchase shares of New El Paso common stock. Each set of election materials you receive is specific to the manner in which you hold your shares of or equity awards denominated in New El Paso common stock. Failure to properly complete an Election Form (and Letter of Transmittal, as the case may be) means that no election will be made with respect to the shares or equity awards to which that Election Form (and Letter of Transmittal, if applicable) applies and you will be deemed to have made a Mixed Election with respect to such shares or equity awards, as the case may be.

8.	Can I change my election after the Election Form and Letter of Transmittal have been submitted?

Yes. You may revoke your election prior to the Election Deadline by submitting a written notice of revocation to the Exchange Agent or by submitting new election materials. Revocations must specify the name in which your shares are registered on the stock transfer books of New El Paso and such other information as the Exchange Agent may request. If you instructed a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee to submit an election for your shares, you must follow the directions of your broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee for changing those instructions. Whether you revoke your election by submitting a written notice of revocation or by submitting new election materials, the notice or materials must be received by the Exchange Agent by the Election Deadline in order for the revocation or new election to be valid.

9.	Am I guaranteed to receive what I ask for on the Election Form?

No. Your election is subject to proration, adjustment and certain limitations as set forth in the Merger Agreement. If you make a cash election and the cash election is oversubscribed, then you will receive a portion of the merger consideration in stock. Similarly, if you make the stock election and the cash election is undersubscribed, then you will receive a portion of the merger consideration in cash. Accordingly, you may not receive exactly the

type of consideration you elect to receive. You instead will receive a mix of stock and cash calculated based on (i) the number of shares making each type of election, (ii) the requirement under the Merger Agreement to preserve the overall mix such that approximately 57% of the aggregate merger consideration (excluding the warrants) is paid in cash and approximately 43% (excluding the warrants) is paid in Kinder Morgan Class P common stock and (iii) the need to preserve the intended treatment of the transactions as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The proration rules referenced in this paragraph are explained in greater detail under the section captioned “The Transactions—New El Paso Stockholders Making Elections” in the Proxy Statement. There also can be no guarantee as to the value of the merger consideration you receive relative to the value of the New El Paso shares you are exchanging. You should obtain current market quotations for Kinder Morgan Class P common stock and for New El Paso common stock.

10.

Will I receive any fractional shares or fractional warrants?

No. No fractional shares of Kinder Morgan Class P common stock and no fractional warrants to purchase a share of Kinder Morgan Class P common stock will be issued in connection with the second merger. Instead, you will be entitled to receive cash, without interest, for any fractional share of Kinder Morgan Class P common stock or any fractional warrant to purchase a share of Kinder Morgan Class P common stock you might otherwise have been entitled to receive, based on a portion of the proceeds from the sale of all fractional shares in the market by the Exchange Agent.

11.

How long will it take to receive the merger consideration after the second merger is completed?

After the effective time of the second merger, upon the surrender of your stock certificate(s) (if applicable) (or effective affidavits of loss in lieu of such stock certificate(s)), together with a properly completed Letter of Transmittal, duly executed and completed in accordance with the instructions thereto, and such other documents as may be reasonably required by the Exchange Agent, you will receive the cash and/or shares of Kinder Morgan Class P common stock and warrants to purchase shares of Kinder Morgan Class P common stock as soon as practicable from the Exchange Agent.

Shares of Kinder Morgan Class P common stock will be issued via a Direct Registration System^® (DRS) stock distribution statement. You will not receive a stock certificate unless requested.

Each warrant to purchase a share of Kinder Morgan Class P common stock will be issued as soon as practicable from the Exchange Agent.

Kinder Morgan and New El Paso hope to complete the transactions as soon as reasonably practicable and currently expect the closing to be consummated in May 2012. However, the transactions are subject to regulatory approvals and the satisfaction or waiver of other conditions, as described in the Merger Agreement, and it is possible that factors outside the control of Kinder Morgan or New El Paso could result in the second merger being completed at an earlier time, a later time or not at all. There can be no assurance as to when or if the second merger will close.

12.

What if I cannot locate my stock certificate(s)?

If any of your certificate(s) representing shares of New El Paso common stock has been lost, stolen or destroyed, contact Computershare Trust Company, N.A. at 1-877-453-1503 before making your election. See Instruction 3 on the Instruction Letter.

13.

What are the tax consequences associated with each of the election options?

Different tax consequences may be associated with each of the election options. The tax consequences to you of the second merger will depend on the facts of your own situation. Therefore, you should consult your tax advisor for a full understanding of the tax consequences to you of exchanging your shares of New El Paso common stock for shares of Kinder Morgan Class P common stock and warrants to purchase shares of Kinder Morgan Class P common stock, cash and warrants to purchase shares of Kinder Morgan Class P common stock or a combination of

shares of Kinder Morgan Class P common stock, cash and warrants to purchase shares of Kinder Morgan Class P common stock. You can also refer to the general description of tax consequences under the caption “The Transaction — Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Transactions” in the Proxy Statement.

14.

How should I send in my signed documents and stock certificates?

An envelope addressed to the Exchange Agent is enclosed with this package. You may use this envelope to return your Election Form and Letter of Transmittal, your stock certificate(s) (if applicable) and any additional documentation that may be required to make your election complete. If you do not have the envelope, you may send such materials to:


If delivering by mail:		If delivering by courier:
Computershare Trust Company, N.A. c/o Voluntary Corporate Actions P.O. Box 43011		Computershare Trust Company, N.A. c/o Voluntary Corporate Actions Suite V
Providence, RI 02940-3011		250 Royall Street Canton, MA 02021

If you are mailing stock certificate(s), we recommend that they be sent (using the return envelope provided) by registered mail, properly insured, with return receipt requested. You may instead choose to send your documentation to the Exchange Agent by an overnight delivery service, also properly insured. The amount of insurance that may be purchased from overnight delivery services may be greater than is available if you send the documents by mail. Please do not return any documents to New El Paso, El Paso, Kinder Morgan or the Information Agent.

Until your stock certificate(s) are actually received by the Exchange Agent, delivery is not effected; you will continue to hold title to the certificate(s) and bear the risk of loss.

KINDER MORGAN, INC.

April 2, 2012

Dear El Paso Corporation Equity Award Holder:

This package is being mailed to you in connection with the acquisition of El Paso Corporation (formerly known as Sirius Holdings Merger Corporation and referred to herein as “New El Paso”) by Kinder Morgan, Inc. (“Kinder Morgan”) pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of October 16, 2011 (as it may be amended from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”), entered into by, among others, Kinder Morgan and New El Paso. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Kinder Morgan will acquire New El Paso through a series of steps, which include what are referred to as the first merger and the second merger. The first merger involved only El Paso LLC (formerly a Delaware corporation known as El Paso Corporation and referred to herein as “Old El Paso”) and two of its subsidiaries. Pursuant to the first merger, which occurred on March 26, 2012, each outstanding share of Old El Paso common stock was converted into one share of common stock of New El Paso, and each outstanding El Paso equity award was converted, on the same terms and conditions, into an equivalent New El Paso equity award (i.e., an equity award denominated in shares of common stock of New El Paso).

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement,

•

each option to purchase shares of New El Paso common stock outstanding immediately prior to the second merger (whether or not vested), by virtue of the occurrence of the second merger and without any action on the part of any holder of an option, will, immediately prior to the second merger, be deemed exercised for that number of shares of New El Paso common stock (referred to as the “net exercise shares”) equal to, rounded down to the nearest whole share, (i) the number of shares of New El Paso common stock subject to the option immediately prior to the second merger minus (ii) the number of whole and partial (computed to the nearest four decimal places) shares of New El Paso common stock subject to the option which, when multiplied by the “fair market value” (as defined in the applicable equity award plan) of a share of New El Paso common stock as of immediately prior to the second merger, is equal to the aggregate exercise price of such option.

•

each share of restricted new El Paso common stock (as converted in connection with the first merger and referred to as a “New El Paso restricted share”) that is outstanding immediately prior to the second merger will, upon the second merger, automatically vest.

•

each New El Paso restricted stock unit that is subject to vesting based on the achievement of performance conditions (as converted in connection with the first merger and referred to as a “New El Paso performance RSU”) that is outstanding immediately prior to the second merger will, upon the second merger, vest based on a target payout percentage of 100%, and shares of New El Paso common stock will be deemed to be issued in settlement therefor.

All net exercise shares deemed to be issued in respect of New El Paso options, New El Paso restricted shares and shares of New El Paso common stock deemed to be issued in respect of New El Paso performance RSUs (collectively, the “New El Paso Equity Award Shares”) will be converted into the right to receive, at the election of the holder but subject to proration, adjustment and certain limitations as set forth in the Merger Agreement, one of the following: (i) $25.91 in cash without interest and 0.640 of a warrant to purchase one share of Kinder Morgan Class P common stock (the “Per Share Warrant Consideration”) (a “Cash Election”); or (ii) 0.4187 of a share of Kinder Morgan Class P common stock (which, based on $38.60, the closing price of Kinder Morgan Class P common stock as of March 23, 2012 had a value of $16.16 on a rounded basis), $14.65 in cash without interest and the Per Share Warrant Consideration (a “Mixed Election”). Each person will be permitted to make one election with respect to all (but not less than all) of such person’s New El Paso Equity Award Shares.

Enclosed is an Election Form and related documents that pertain to the second merger. Please complete, sign and return the Election Form to Kinder Morgan’s exchange agent, Computershare, in order to make an election. In addition, enclosed is an Election Information Booklet for your reference. Please use the enclosed envelope to return your Election Form. Do not send your Election Form to New El Paso, Old El Paso or Kinder Morgan.

The deadline for submitting election forms (the “Election Deadline”) has not yet been determined. Kinder Morgan will publicly announce the anticipated Election Deadline at least five business days prior to the Election Deadline. The effective time of the second merger will occur two business days after the Election Deadline. Election forms must be RECEIVED by the Exchange Agent no later than 5:00 p.m., New York time, on the date of the Election Deadline. You will have at least twenty business days (and thirty calendar days) from the first date on which this Election Form is mailed to make your election. In the event that the expected effective time of the second merger and the election deadline change, we will announce the revised dates, in a press release, on our web sites at www.kindermorgan.com and www.elpaso.com, and in a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). You may also obtain up-to-date information regarding the election deadline by calling MacKenzie Partners, Inc., Kinder Morgan’s Information Agent, at (800) 322-2885.

There is a limited period of time for you to deliver your Election Form. Therefore, we encourage you to submit your Election Form promptly. If you do not make a valid election, you will be deemed to have made a Mixed Election for all of your New El Paso Equity Award Shares.

For a full discussion of the transactions and the effect of your election, see the information statement/proxy statement/prospectus, dated March 23, 2012, as amended (the “Proxy Statement”), a copy of which has been delivered herewith. You are able to obtain free copies of the Proxy Statement and other documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission by Kinder Morgan and New El Paso through the web site maintained by the SEC at www.sec.gov.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

1.	Why have I been sent an Election Form?

Pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of October 16, 2011 (as it may be amended from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Kinder Morgan, Sherpa Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation, Sherpa Acquisition, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, Old El Paso, New El Paso and Sirius Merger Corporation, a Delaware corporation, Kinder Morgan will acquire New El Paso through a series of steps, which include what are referred to as the first merger and the second merger. The first merger involved only Old El Paso and two of its subsidiaries. Pursuant to the first merger, which occurred on March 26, 2012, each outstanding share of Old El Paso common stock was converted into one share of common stock of New El Paso, and each outstanding El Paso equity award was converted, on the same terms and conditions, into an equivalent New El Paso equity award (i.e., an equity award denominated in shares of common stock of New El Paso). As of the effective time of the first merger, all certificates representing shares of Old El Paso common stock are deemed to represent shares of New El Paso common stock.

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement,

•

All New El Paso Equity Award Shares will be converted into the right to receive, at the election of the holder but subject to proration, adjustment and certain limitations as set forth in the Merger Agreement, one of the following:

(i) $25.91 in cash without interest and 0.640 of a warrant to purchase one share of Kinder Morgan Class P common stock (the “Per Share Warrant Consideration”); or

Each person will be permitted to make one election with respect to all (but not less than all) of such person’s New El Paso Equity Award Shares.

Please see Question 12 for important information concerning the transmittal of your Election Form to Computershare.

Consistent with the terms of the Merger Agreement, the Election Form authorizes the Exchange Agent, Computershare Trust Company, N.A., to take all actions necessary to accomplish the delivery of the shares of Kinder Morgan Class P common stock, warrants to purchase shares of Kinder Morgan Class P common stock and/or cash in exchange for your New El Paso Equity Award Shares.

Your Election Form must be RECEIVED by the Exchange Agent by the Election Deadline. We will publicly announce the anticipated Election Deadline at least five business days prior to the anticipated Election Deadline. You will have at least twenty business days from the first date on which this Election Form is mailed to make your election.

5.	What if I do not send a form of election or it is not received?

If you do not make a valid election with respect to all (but not less than all) of your New El Paso Equity Award Shares, or if the exchange agent does not receive a properly completed form of election from you before the election deadline and any additional documents required by the procedures set forth in the form of election, then you will have no control over the type of merger consideration you receive. Each person who does not make an election with respect to his or her New El Paso Equity Award Shares will be deemed to have made a mixed election with respect to all of his or her New El Paso Equity Award Shares. You bear the risk of delivery and should send any form of election by courier to the appropriate address shown in the form of election.

6.	I have received more than one set of election materials related to the Merger Agreement. Do I need to complete them all?

Yes. If you received more than one set of election materials, this indicates that, in addition to your New El Paso Equity Award Shares, you own shares of common stock of New El Paso (and such shares may be owned in more than one manner or in more than one name). For example, you may own shares registered directly with New El Paso; you may own New El Paso shares through a third party, such as a broker; or you may own shares in both single name and joint name. Each set of election materials you receive in addition to this election form is specific to the manner in which you hold shares of New El Paso common stock. Failure to properly complete such an additional Election Form or a Letter of Transmittal means that no election will be made with respect to the shares to which that Election Form and Letter of Transmittal applies, in which case you will be deemed to have made a mixed election with respect to the shares to which that Election Form and Letter of Transmittal applies.

7.	Can I change my election after the form of election has been submitted?

Yes. You may revoke your election prior to the election deadline by submitting a written notice of revocation to the Exchange Agent or by submitting new election materials. Revocations must specify such other information as the Exchange Agent may request. Whether you revoke your election by submitting a written notice of revocation or by submitting new election materials, the notice of materials must be received by the Exchange Agent by the Election Deadline in order for the revocation or new election to be valid.

8.	Am I guaranteed to receive what I ask for on the election form?

No. If you make a cash election and the cash election is oversubscribed, then you will receive a portion of the merger consideration in stock. Accordingly, you may not receive exactly the type of consideration you elect to receive in the second merger, but instead will receive a mix of stock and cash calculated based on (i) the number of shares making each type of election, (ii) the requirement under the Merger Agreement to preserve the overall mix such that approximately 57% of the aggregate merger consideration (excluding the warrants) is paid in cash and approximately 43% (excluding the warrants) is paid in Kinder Morgan Class P common stock, and (iii) the need to preserve the intended treatment of the transactions as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

The proration rules referenced in this paragraph are explained in detail under the caption “The Transactions — New El Paso Stockholders Making Elections,” beginning in the Proxy Statement.

9.	Will I receive any fractional shares or fractional warrants?

No. No fractional shares of Kinder Morgan Class P common stock and no fractional warrants to purchase a share of Kinder Morgan Class P common stock will be delivered in the second merger. Instead, you will be entitled to receive cash, without interest, for any fractional share of Kinder Morgan Class P common stock or any fractional warrant to purchase a share of Kinder Morgan Class P common stock you might otherwise have been entitled to receive, based on a portion of the proceeds from the sale of all fractional shares in the market by the Exchange Agent.

10.

How long will it take to receive cash or Kinder Morgan Class P shares after the effective date of the second merger?

After the effective time of the second merger, upon the execution of such documents (if any) as may be reasonably be required by the Exchange Agent, you will receive the cash or cash and shares of Kinder Morgan Class P common stock and warrants to purchase shares of Kinder Morgan Class P common stock as soon as practicable from the Exchange Agent.

Shares of Kinder Morgan Class P common stock will be issued via a Direct Registration System^® (DRS) stock distribution statement. You will not receive a stock certificate.

Each warrant to purchase a share of Kinder Morgan Class P common stock will be issued as soon as practicable from the Exchange Agent.

11.

What are the tax consequences associated with each of the election options? Will amounts be deducted and withheld to satisfy tax withholding obligations applicable to the consideration otherwise payable in respect of my New El Paso Equity Award Shares?

cash and warrants to purchase shares of Kinder Morgan Class P common stock, or a combination of shares of Kinder Morgan Class P common stock, cash and warrants to purchase shares of Kinder Morgan Class P common stock. You can also refer to the general description of tax consequences under the caption, “The Transaction — Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Transactions” in the Proxy Statement.

Regardless of the election you make, note that a certain amount may be deducted and withheld from the consideration otherwise payable to you in respect of your New El Paso Equity Award Shares to satisfy federal, state, local, foreign and other tax laws.

12.

How should I send in my signed documents?

General Instructions

Section references are to the Internal Revenue Code unless otherwise noted.

Purpose of Form

A person who is required to file an information return with the IRS must obtain your correct taxpayer identification number (TIN) to report, for example, income paid to you, real estate transactions, mortgage interest you paid, acquisition or abandonment of secured property, cancellation of debt, or contributions you made to an IRA.

Use Form W-9 only if you are a U.S. person (including a resident alien), to provide your correct TIN to the person requesting it (the requester) and, when applicable, to:

1. Certify that the TIN you are giving is correct (or you are waiting for a number to be issued),

2. Certify that you are not subject to backup withholding, or

3. Claim exemption from backup withholding if you are a U.S. exempt payee. If applicable, you are also certifying that as a U.S. person, your allocable share of any partnership income from a U.S. trade or business is not subject to the withholding tax on foreign partners’ share of effectively connected income.

Note. If a requester gives you a form other than Form W-9 to request your TIN, you must use the requester’s form if it is substantially similar to this Form W-9.

Definition of a U.S. person. For federal tax purposes, you are considered a U.S. person if you are:

— An individual who is a U.S. citizen or U.S. resident alien,

— A partnership, corporation, company, or association created or organized in the United States or under the laws of the United States,

— An estate (other than a foreign estate), or

— A domestic trust (as defined in Regulations section 301.7701-7).

Special rules for partnerships. Partnerships that conduct a trade or business in the United States are generally required to pay a withholding tax on any foreign partners’ share of income from such business. Further, in certain cases where a Form W-9 has not been received, a partnership is required to presume that a partner is a foreign person, and pay the withholding tax. Therefore, if you are a U.S. person that is a partner in a partnership conducting a trade or business in the United States, provide Form W-9 to the partnership to establish your U.S. status and avoid withholding on your share of partnership income.


		Cat. No. 10231X		Form W-9 (Rev. 12-2011)


Form W-9 (Rev. 12-2011)		Page 2

The person who gives Form W-9 to the partnership for purposes of establishing its U.S. status and avoiding withholding on its allocable share of net income from the partnership conducting a trade or business in the United States is in the following cases:

— The U.S. owner of a disregarded entity and not the entity,

— The U.S. grantor or other owner of a grantor trust and not the trust, and

— The U.S. trust (other than a grantor trust) and not the beneficiaries of the trust.

Foreign person. If you are a foreign person, do not use Form W-9. Instead, use the appropriate Form W-8 (see Publication 515, Withholding of Tax on Nonresident Aliens and Foreign Entities).

Nonresident alien who becomes a resident alien. Generally, only a nonresident alien individual may use the terms of a tax treaty to reduce or eliminate U.S. tax on certain types of income. However, most tax treaties contain a provision known as a “saving clause.” Exceptions specified in the saving clause may permit an exemption from tax to continue for certain types of income even after the payee has otherwise become a U.S. resident alien for tax purposes.

If you are a U.S. resident alien who is relying on an exception contained in the saving clause of a tax treaty to claim an exemption from U.S. tax on certain types of income, you must attach a statement to Form W-9 that specifies the following five items:

1. The treaty country. Generally, this must be the same treaty under which you claimed exemption from tax as a nonresident alien.

2. The treaty article addressing the income.

3. The article number (or location) in the tax treaty that contains the saving clause and its exceptions.

4. The type and amount of income that qualifies for the exemption from tax.

5. Sufficient facts to justify the exemption from tax under the terms of the treaty article.

Example. Article 20 of the U.S.-China income tax treaty allows an exemption from tax for scholarship income received by a Chinese student temporarily present in the United States. Under U.S. law, this student will become a resident alien for tax purposes if his or her stay in the United States exceeds 5 calendar years. However, paragraph 2 of the first Protocol to the U.S.-China treaty (dated April 30, 1984) allows the provisions of Article 20 to continue to apply even after the Chinese student becomes a resident alien of the United States. A Chinese student who qualifies for this exception (under paragraph 2 of the first protocol) and is relying on this exception to claim an exemption from tax on his or her scholarship or fellowship income would attach to Form W-9 a statement that includes the information described above to support that exemption.

If you are a nonresident alien or a foreign entity not subject to backup withholding, give the requester the appropriate completed Form W-8.

What is backup withholding? Persons making certain payments to you must under certain conditions withhold and pay to the IRS a percentage of such payments. This is called “backup withholding.” Payments that may be subject to backup withholding include interest, tax-exempt interest, dividends, broker and barter exchange transactions, rents, royalties, nonemployee pay, and certain payments from fishing boat operators. Real estate transactions are not subject to backup withholding.

You will not be subject to backup withholding on payments you receive if you give the requester your correct TIN, make the proper certifications, and report all your taxable interest and dividends on your tax return.

Payments you receive will be subject to backup withholding if:

1. You do not furnish your TIN to the requester,

2. You do not certify your TIN when required (see the Part II instructions on page 3 for details),

3. The IRS tells the requester that you furnished an incorrect TIN,

4. The IRS tells you that you are subject to backup withholding because you did not report all your interest and dividends on your tax return (for reportable interest and dividends only), or

5. You do not certify to the requester that you are not subject to backup withholding under 4 above (for reportable interest and dividend accounts opened after 1983 only).

Certain payees and payments are exempt from backup withholding. See the instructions below and the separate Instructions for the Requester of Form W-9.

Also see Special rules for partnerships on page 1.

Updating Your Information

You must provide updated information to any person to whom you claimed to be an exempt payee if you are no longer an exempt payee and anticipate receiving reportable payments in the future from this person. For example, you may need to provide updated information if you are a C corporation that elects to be an S corporation, or if you no longer are tax exempt. In addition, you must furnish a new Form W-9 if the name or TIN changes for the account, for example, if the grantor of a grantor trust dies.

Penalties

Failure to furnish TIN. If you fail to furnish your correct TIN to a requester, you are subject to a penalty of $50 for each such failure unless your failure is due to reasonable cause and not to willful neglect.

Civil penalty for false information with respect to withholding. If you make a false statement with no reasonable basis that results in no backup withholding, you are subject to a $500 penalty.

Criminal penalty for falsifying information. Willfully falsifying certifications or affirmations may subject you to criminal penalties including fines and/or imprisonment.

Misuse of TINs. If the requester discloses or uses TINs in violation of federal law, the requester may be subject to civil and criminal penalties.

Specific Instructions

Name

If you are an individual, you must generally enter the name shown on your income tax return. However, if you have changed your last name, for instance, due to marriage without informing the Social Security Administration of the name change, enter your first name, the last name shown on your social security card, and your new last name.

If the account is in joint names, list first, and then circle, the name of the person or entity whose number you entered in Part I of the form.

Sole proprietor. Enter your individual name as shown on your income tax return on the “Name” line. You may enter your business, trade, or “doing business as (DBA)” name on the “Business name/disregarded entity name” line.

Partnership, C Corporation, or S Corporation. Enter the entity’s name on the “Name” line and any business, trade, or “doing business as (DBA) name” on the “Business name/disregarded entity name” line.

Disregarded entity. Enter the owner’s name on the “Name” line. The name of the entity entered on the “Name” line should never be a disregarded entity. The name on the “Name” line must be the name shown on the income tax return on which the income will be reported. For example, if a foreign LLC that is treated as a disregarded entity for U.S. federal tax purposes has a domestic owner, the domestic owner’s name is required to be provided on the “Name” line. If the direct owner of the entity is also a disregarded entity, enter the first owner that is not disregarded for federal tax purposes. Enter the disregarded entity’s name on the “Business name/disregarded entity name” line. If the owner of the disregarded entity is a foreign person, you must complete an appropriate Form W-8.

Note. Check the appropriate box for the federal tax classification of the person whose name is entered on the “Name” line (Individual/sole proprietor, Partnership, C Corporation, S Corporation, Trust/estate).

Limited Liability Company (LLC). If the person identified on the “Name” line is an LLC, check the “Limited liability company” box only and enter the appropriate code for the tax classification in the space provided. If you are an LLC that is treated as a partnership for federal tax purposes, enter “P” for partnership. If you are an LLC that has filed a Form 8832 or a Form 2553 to be taxed as a corporation, enter “C” for C corporation or “S” for S corporation. If you are an LLC that is disregarded as an entity separate from its owner under Regulation section 301.7701-3 (except for employment and excise tax), do not check the LLC box unless the owner of the LLC (required to be identified on the “Name” line) is another LLC that is not disregarded for federal tax purposes. If the LLC is disregarded as an entity separate from its owner, enter the appropriate tax classification of the owner identified on the “Name” line.


Form W-9 (Rev. 12-2011)		Page 3

Other entities. Enter your business name as shown on required federal tax documents on the “Name” line. This name should match the name shown on the charter or other legal document creating the entity. You may enter any business, trade, or DBA name on the “Business name/disregarded entity name” line.

Exempt Payee

If you are exempt from backup withholding, enter your name as described above and check the appropriate box for your status, then check the “Exempt payee” box in the line following the “Business name/disregarded entity name,” sign and date the form.

Generally, individuals (including sole proprietors) are not exempt from backup withholding. Corporations are exempt from backup withholding for certain payments, such as interest and dividends.

Note. If you are exempt from backup withholding, you should still complete this form to avoid possible erroneous backup withholding.

The following payees are exempt from backup withholding:

1. An organization exempt from tax under section 501(a), any IRA, or a custodial account under section 403(b)(7) if the account satisfies the requirements of section 401(f)(2),

Broker transactions		Exempt payees 1 through 5 and 7 through 13. Also, C corporations.
Barter exchange transactions and patronage dividends		Exempt payees 1 through 5
Payments over $600 required to be reported and direct sales over $5,000 ¹		Generally, exempt payees 1 through 7 ²

²	However, the following payments made to a corporation and reportable on Form 1099-MISC are not exempt from backup withholding: medical and health care payments, attorneys’ fees, gross proceeds paid to an attorney, and payments for services paid by a federal executive agency.

Part I. Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN)

Enter your TIN in the appropriate box. If you are a resident alien and you do not have and are not eligible to get an SSN, your TIN is your IRS individual taxpayer identification number (ITIN). Enter it in the social security number box. If you do not have an ITIN, see How to get a TIN below.

If you are a sole proprietor and you have an EIN, you may enter either your SSN or EIN. However, the IRS prefers that you use your SSN.

If you are a single-member LLC that is disregarded as an entity separate from its owner (see Limited Liability Company (LLC) on page 2), enter the owner’s SSN (or EIN, if the owner has one). Do not enter the disregarded entity’s EIN. If the LLC is classified as a corporation or partnership, enter the entity’s EIN.

Note. See the chart on page 4 for further clarification of name and TIN combinations.

How to get a TIN. If you do not have a TIN, apply for one immediately. To apply for an SSN, get Form SS-5, Application for a Social Security Card, from your local Social Security Administration office or get this form online at www.ssa.gov. You may also get this form by calling 1-800-772-1213. Use Form W-7, Application for IRS Individual Taxpayer Identification Number, to apply for an ITIN, or Form SS-4, Application for Employer Identification Number, to apply for an EIN. You can apply for an EIN online by accessing the IRS website at www.irs.gov/businesses and clicking on Employer Identification Number (EIN) under Starting a Business. You can get Forms W-7 and SS-4 from the IRS by visiting IRS.gov or by calling 1-800-TAX-FORM (1-800-829-3676).

If you are asked to complete Form W-9 but do not have a TIN, write “Applied For” in the space for the TIN, sign and date the form, and give it to the requester. For interest and dividend payments, and certain payments made with respect to readily tradable instruments, generally you will have 60 days to get a TIN and give it to the requester before you are subject to backup withholding on payments. The 60-day rule does not apply to other types of payments. You will be subject to backup withholding on all such payments until you provide your TIN to the requester.

Note. Entering “Applied For” means that you have already applied for a TIN or that you intend to apply for one soon.

Caution: A disregarded domestic entity that has a foreign owner must use the appropriate Form W-8.

Part II. Certification

To establish to the withholding agent that you are a U.S. person, or resident alien, sign Form W-9. You may be requested to sign by the withholding agent even if item 1, below, and items 4 and 5 on page 4 indicate otherwise.

For a joint account, only the person whose TIN is shown in Part I should sign (when required). In the case of a disregarded entity, the person identified on the “Name” line must sign. Exempt payees, see Exempt Payee on page 3.

Signature requirements. Complete the certification as indicated in items 1 through 3, below, and items 4 and 5 on page 4.

1. Interest, dividend, and barter exchange accounts opened before 1984 and broker accounts considered active during 1983. You must give your correct TIN, but you do not have to sign the certification.

2. Interest, dividend, broker, and barter exchange accounts opened after 1983 and broker accounts considered inactive during 1983. You must sign the certification or backup withholding will apply. If you are subject to backup withholding and you are merely providing your correct TIN to the requester, you must cross out item 2 in the certification before signing the form.

3. Real estate transactions. You must sign the certification. You may cross out item 2 of the certification.


Form W-9 (Rev. 12-2011)		Page 4

4. Other payments. You must give your correct TIN, but you do not have to sign the certification unless you have been notified that you have previously given an incorrect TIN. “Other payments” include payments made in the course of the requester’s trade or business for rents, royalties, goods (other than bills for merchandise), medical and health care services (including payments to corporations), payments to a nonemployee for services, payments to certain fishing boat crew members and fishermen, and gross proceeds paid to attorneys (including payments to corporations).

5.

Secure Your Tax Records from Identity Theft

Identity theft occurs when someone uses your personal information such as your name, social security number (SSN), or other identifying information, without your permission, to commit fraud or other crimes. An identity thief may use your SSN to get a job or may file a tax return using your SSN to receive a refund.

To reduce your risk:

— Protect your SSN,

— Ensure your employer is protecting your SSN, and

— Be careful when choosing a tax preparer.

If your tax records are affected by identity theft and you receive a notice from the IRS, respond right away to the name and phone number printed on the IRS notice or letter.

If your tax records are not currently affected by identity theft but you think you are at risk due to a lost or stolen purse or wallet, questionable credit card activity or credit report, contact the IRS Identity Theft Hotline at 1-800-908-4490 or submit Form 14039.

For more information, see Publication 4535, Identity Theft Prevention and Victim Assistance.

Victims of identity theft who are experiencing economic harm or a system problem, or are seeking help in resolving tax problems that have not been resolved through normal channels, may be eligible for Taxpayer Advocate Service (TAS) assistance. You can reach TAS by calling the TAS toll-free case intake line at 1-877-777-4778 or TTY/TDD 1-800-829-4059.

Protect yourself from suspicious emails or phishing schemes. Phishing is the creation and use of email and websites designed to mimic legitimate business emails and websites. The most common act is sending an email to a user falsely claiming to be an established legitimate enterprise in an attempt to scam the user into surrendering private information that will be used for identity theft.

The IRS does not initiate contacts with taxpayers via emails. Also, the IRS does not request personal detailed information through email or ask taxpayers for the PIN numbers, passwords, or similar secret access information for their credit card, bank, or other financial accounts.

If you receive an unsolicited email claiming to be from the IRS, forward this message to phishing@irs.gov. You may also report misuse of the IRS name, logo, or other IRS property to the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration at 1-800-366-4484. You can forward suspicious emails to the Federal Trade Commission at: spam@uce.gov or contact them at www.ftc.gov/idtheft or 1-877-IDTHEFT (1-877-438-4338).

Visit IRS.gov to learn more about identity theft and how to reduce your risk.

Pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of October 16, 2011 (as it may be amended from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Kinder Morgan, Sherpa Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation, Sherpa Acquisition, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, El Paso LLC, formerly a Delaware corporation known as EI Paso Corporation (“Old EI Paso”), Sirius Holdings Merger Corporation, a Delaware corporation now known as EI Paso Corporation (“New El Paso”) and Sirius Merger Corporation, a Delaware corporation, Kinder Morgan will acquire New El Paso through a series of steps, which include what are referred to as the first merger and the second merger. The first merger involved only Old EI Paso and two of its subsidiaries. Pursuant to the first merger, which occurred on March 26, 2012, each outstanding share of Old El Paso common stock was converted into one share of common stock of New EI Paso, and each outstanding EI Paso equity award was converted, on the same terms and conditions, into an equivalent New EI Paso equity award (i.e., an equity award denominated in shares of common stock of New EI Paso). As of the effective time of the first merger, all certificates representing shares of Old El Paso common stock are deemed to represent shares of New El Paso common stock.
