RATE SCHEDULE T-1B

Article 7 - Applicable Law and Submission to Jurisdiction (Continued)

this Service Agreement shall be governed by and interpreted in

accordance with the laws of the State of Nebraska. For purposes of

legal proceedings, this Service Agreement shall be deemed to have been

made in the State of Nebraska and to be performed there, and the Courts

of that State shall have jurisdiction over all disputes which may arise

under this Service Agreement, provided always that nothing herein

contained shall prevent the Company from proceeding at its election

against the Shipper in the Courts of any other state, Province or

country.

At the Company's request, the Shipper shall irrevocably appoint an agent

in Nebraska to receive, for it and on its behalf, service of process in

connection with any judicial proceeding in Nebraska relating to this

Service Agreement. Such service shall be deemed completed on delivery

to such process agent (even if not forwarded to and received by the

Shipper). If said agent ceases to act as a process agent within

process agent within Nebraska and deliver to the Company a copy of the

new agent's acceptance of that appointment within 30 days.
