GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS

6. RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL AT EXPIRATION OR RENEGOTIATION OF AGREEMENTS

6.1 Applicability

The right of first refusal is applicable only to service

agreements under Rate Schedules FTS, SFT, STS, FSS and TSS where

either the Primary Term is 12 months or more in length, or when an

extended term is 12 months or more (independent of the Primary

Term) and in all of the above cases shipper must pay Southern

Star's maximum rate as stated on the applicable Tariff Sheet No.

10, 10A, or 11 for the 12 or more consecutive months of service

immediately prior to the end of the term; provided, however, that

for all such discounted service agreements with terms of one year

or more which were in effect prior to May 15, 2003, the right of

first refusal shall also apply at the expiration of those service

agreements; and provided, that for all agreements where the

Shipper paid Southern Star's maximum rate as stated on the

applicable Tariff Sheet No. 10, 10A, or 11 for 12 or more

consecutive months of service and the service agreement was in

effect prior to May 1, 2010, the right of first refusal shall also

apply at the expiration of those service agreements. If it is

mutually agreeable between Southern Star and an existing capacity

holder, prior to the expiration of the term of an existing service

agreement and prior to Southern Star posting the available

capacity under Section 6.2, if applicable, Southern Star and the

existing capacity holder may agree to an extension of the term of

the service agreement with respect to all or part of the

underlying capacity (the exact length of which is to be negotiated

on a case-by-case basis in a not unduly discriminatory manner).
