GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS

2. REQUEST FOR TRANSPORTATION SERVICE (continued)
2.2 Conditions of Firm Transportation. All firm transportation requests shall be subject to
the following conditions:
(a) No request for transportation from a Point of Receipt or to a Point of Delivery
shall be considered valid or be granted if to do so would impair Algonquin's
ability to render existing services pursuant to Algonquin's firm service rate
schedules.
(b) Subject to the provisions of (a) above, any amendment to any firm service
agreement or exhibit to add or change Point(s) of Receipt or Point(s) of Delivery
that requires additional capacity pursuant to an applicable firm rate schedule
will be addressed in accordance with Sections 2.4 and 2.5.
(c) In certain situations, Algonquin may use an accounting meter number to represent a
physical location on its pipeline system. A Point of Receipt and/or a Point of
Delivery identified on Customer's executed service agreement(s) may be designated
in the LINK® System by means of an accounting meter number and description that
differs from the physical meter number and description specified on the service
agreement. The same rights and obligations exist for both Algonquin and Customer
regardless of whether a location is identified in Customer's executed service
agreement by means of a physical meter number or an accounting meter number.
2.3 Execution of Service Agreement and Amendments. A service agreement and/or an amendment
to an existing service agreement shall be executed, as specified in this Section 2.3, by
Customer and Algonquin following the completion of the approval process.

amendments, firm service agreements with a term of one (1) year or less and all
amendments for firm service agreements with a term of one (1) year or less shall
be executed electronically via the LINK® System by Customer and Algonquin; any
agreement that is executed in full utilizing electronic transmission through the
LINK® System is a valid and enforceable contract that is binding on all parties.
All firm service agreements with a term of more than one (1) year and all
amendments to firm service agreements with a term of more than one (1) year shall
be executed in writing. A Service Agreement shall be executed and, if executed in
writing returned to Algonquin, within fifteen (15) days of the tender of a service
agreement by Algonquin. In the event Customer fails to submit a valid nomination
for transportation pursuant to an interruptible service agreement within ninety
(90) days after the later of (i) the date service is to commence, (ii) the date
the service agreement is fully executed by Customer and Algonquin, or (iii) the
date that the facilities, if any, to be constructed are ready for service, the
service agreement and the corresponding transportation request for service shall
be considered null and void.
