GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS

5. OPERATIONAL FLOW ORDERS (OFOs)
5.5 Situation Reports and Notices
(A) Southwest shall provide Shipper with as much advance notice
of OFOs as is reasonable under then existing conditions
through the Messenger system and the Web Site and by
telephone and by facsimile or via e-mail communication.
Each Shipper and point operator shall designate one or more
persons for Southwest to contact on operational matters on a
24-hour a day, 365 days a year basis. Telephone and
facsimile numbers as well as e-mail address must be provided
for such person or persons. If Southwest is unable to
contact any Shipper or point operator because that Shipper's
or point operator's contact person(s) is unavailable, such
Shipper or point operator shall be responsible for any
consequences arising from such failure of communications.
The notice will provide the time and date the OFO is to
become effective, the time the OFO is expected to remain in
effect, the action required of the Shipper, the reason for
issuing the OFO, together with operating variables providing
the basis for issuing the order, and any other information
which may be required in the circumstances. Ordinarily, the
notice will be issued by 10:00 a.m. CT on the Gas Day before
the OFO is to be effective. The OFO will ordinarily become
effective at 9:00 a.m. CT on the following Gas Day. When
operating conditions so require, three hours notice, or
lesser notice if necessary, may be given. An OFO may be
issued for a specific period of time or until further notice
is given. Such notice shall be provided to the person,
including any agent, designated by the Shipper to submit or
confirm nominations. Southwest will post notification and
provide updated information concerning the need for the OFO
on the Messenger system and the Web Site at the commencement
of the Gas Day until Southwest notifies the Shipper that the
order is no longer effective. Within a reasonable time after
the OFO terminates, Southwest will post on the Messenger
system and the Web Site a report detailing the conditions
that required the issuance and termination of the OFO.
(B) Southwest shall have no responsibility to inform Shipper's
end users, suppliers, other transporters or any others
involved in the transaction, as to any OFO.
