FORM OF OPERATIONAL BALANCING AGREEMENT

(6) This agreement shall be effective ___________________, and shall

continue until cancelled by either party upon forty-eight (48)

hours prior written notice. Any remaining Operational Imbalance

shall be corrected within thirty (30) days after the final

Operational Imbalance is agreed to in writing by the Parties or

within such longer period of time as may be mutually agreed to by

the Parties.

(7) In the event an Operational Flow Order (OFO) is issued in

accordance with the provisions of Southern Star's effective FERC

Gas Tariff, this agreement may be temporarily suspended, and

allocations during the period when an OFO is in effect will be

based upon actual flows during said period. Notice of issuance of

an OFO shall be given as soon as practicable; however, failure to

give notice prior to issuance of an OFO will not affect the right

to temporarily suspend this Agreement during such period. In the

event actual flows during the period when an OFO is in effect are

equal to or greater than Scheduled Quantities at the interconnect

point specified on Exhibit 1, this agreement will be in effect

during such period and not suspended as required by this Paragraph

(8) This agreement, the services provided hereunder, and the use of

such services are subject to all of the terms and conditions of

Southern Star's FERC Gas Tariff and such FERC Gas Tariff is

incorporated herein by reference. Southern Star shall have the

unilateral right from time to time to file with the appropriate

regulatory authority to make changes to all or any part of the

FERC Gas Tariff; provided however, that shall

have the right to protest any such changes.
