example, a new IPS Service Agreement), (ii) take title to IBS Gas quantities
under the provisions of Section 7.2 below, and/or (iii) resort to a
combination of both such remedies; or (B) in the case of IBS Gas quantities

enter into a new Service Agreement, on an interruptible basis, related to such

treat the IBS Gas quantities that have not been re-delivered as a sale of such
IBS Gas quantities to Shipper under the terms set forth in Section 7.2, and/or
(iii) resort to a combination of both such remedies. Freebird’s election to
enter into a new Service Agreement will not prevent it from subsequently
exercising its rights pursuant to Section 7.2 at any time IBS Gas quantities
