transport on any Day the Maximum Daily Withdrawal Quantity from

Storage Points of Withdrawal. Scheduling of requested injections

or withdrawals hereunder shall be subject to confirmation of the

required scheduled transportation service.

2.4 Transporter at any time may give Shipper notice, via electronic

means, to withdraw all or part of its Working Gas Quantity and

Shipper shall be obligated to do so within thirty (30) Days after

such notice. In the event that Shipper injects quantities into

storage during the Withdrawal Period, Transporter may at any time

thereafter give Shipper notice, via electronic means, to withdraw

all or part of such quantities and Shipper shall be obligated to

do so within forty-eight (48) hours of such notice. Shipper shall

use best efforts to reduce the Interruptible Working Gas Quantity

to zero (0) Dth by the end of each Storage Contract Year. Shipper

shall, within thirty (30) Days following expiration or termination

of the Service Agreement or within the applicable period following

a request from Transporter, withdraw from storage all or part, as

applicable, of the Gas remaining in storage for the account of

Shipper. If Shipper fails for any reason to withdraw such Gas

within the applicable period, then Transporter may retain

possession of and title to all such remaining Gas and Shipper

shall relinquish all claims thereto provided that such applicable

period shall be extended proportionately if, and to the extent

that, Shipper's failure to withdraw is caused by Transporter's

inability due to operating or force majeure conditions to

accommodate Shipper's requests for withdrawal. Nothing contained

in this Section 2.4 shall be construed to limit Transporter's

right to implement any and all operational controls provided for

in Section 20 of Transporter's General Terms and Conditions,

including without limitation, Transporter's right to issue an

Operational Flow Order to require Shipper to withdraw all or part

of Shipper's Gas in storage pursuant to the notice provisions

contained in said Section 20.

2.5 The Interruptible Maximum Storage Quantity shall be specified in

the Service Agreement.
