GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS

(Continued)

5. PROCEDURES FOR REQUESTING SERVICE (Continued)

5.6 MRT shall promptly notify a Customer if it cannot satisfy an

otherwise valid request for firm service due to lack of capacity.

5.7 MRT may also reject any request, or limit the term of the Service

Agreement requested by Customer, if MRT, in its reasonable judgment,

determines that the service requested would utilize a portion of MRT's system

such that a bottleneck would be created that would likely prevent MRT from

utilizing upstream or downstream portions of its system or may detrimentally

impact the operational integrity of MRT's system.

5.8 In the event a request does not contain the information specified

in Section 5.4 hereof, MRT shall, within ten (10) days after receipt of such

request, inform Customer in writing, or electronically via the Internet if the

request was submitted electronically, of the specific items needed to complete

a valid request. Customer shall have fifteen (15) days to provide the

specified information. In the event such information is not received within

fifteen (15) days or if Customer's request, as supplemented, remains

incomplete and deficient, Customer's request shall be void.
