PARK AND LOAN SERVICE

(continued)

2. APPLICABILITY AND CHARACTER OF SERVICE (continued)

2.8 Customer must return or withdraw gas in its parked, or borrowed,

as applicable, account (a) by the close of the permitted period as specified

in Section 2.6 above or (b) within forty-eight (48) hours (or such longer

period as may be specified) of receipt of, and in accordance with, a

notification from MRT.

2.9 Unless MRT agrees otherwise, return of borrowed gas shall occur on

a first-out, first-in basis and withdrawal of parked gas shall occur on a

first-in, first-out basis.

2.10 If the receipt, return or withdrawal of gas in Customer's parked

or borrowed account, as applicable, is scheduled and adequate quantities are

not tendered at the receipt point(s), or taken at the withdrawal point(s), as

applicable, MRT will not debit or credit such deficient quantities to the

account(s).

2.11 For purposes of Section 5.4(k) of the General Terms and Conditions

of this tariff, a Customer may receive services under this Rate Schedule by

providing security in an amount sufficient to cover up to the maximum amount

of charges which could be incurred hereunder.

2.12 For purposes of scheduling, allocations and curtailment pursuant

to Section 8 of the General Terms and Conditions of this tariff, services

requested or provided under this Rate Schedule shall have a lower priority

than all other services, including those under Rate Schedule ITS, except that

the priority for return of loaned gas when directed by MRT pursuant to Section

2.8(b) above shall be subordinate only to service under Rate Schedules FTS,

SCT, or NNT at primary or secondary points. If MRT cannot satisfy all the

requests for services, or continue services already scheduled, under this Rate

Schedule, MRT shall assign capacity, schedule and/or curtail services

hereunder based on determination of highest economic value, taking into

account the total revenue commitment, operational impacts and maximization of

system utilization.
