10.2 Extensions of Firm and Interruptible Transportation Service
(a) Pipeline will agree to bilateral evergreen clauses (the exact length
of which to be negotiated on a case-by-case basis) in all
transportation service agreements, except limited-term service
agreements involving capacity available for a limited time due to (i)
expansion/extension projects as set forth in Section 20.4 of the
General Terms and Conditions or (ii) pre-arranged Contract Demand
increases as set forth in Section 3.3 of the FT Rate Schedule, Section
2.4 of the NNS Rate Schedule, or Section 2.6 of the NNL Rate Schedule;
however, pre-granted abandonment will still be applicable as stated in
Section 10.1, above, at the end of the contractual term.
(b) Except in the case of limited-term service agreements involving
capacity available for a limited time due to (i) expansion/extension

conditions or (ii) pre-arranged Contract Demand increases as set forth
in Section 3.3 of the FT Rate Schedule, Section 2.3 of the NNS Rate
Schedule, or Section 2.5 of the NNL Rate Schedule, in place of a
bilateral evergreen clause in firm transportation service agreements,
Pipeline will agree to a continuous unilateral rollover term for firm
services, exercisable only by Customer; however, such rollover term
must be for at least five (5) years, and customer must agree to pay
the applicable maximum rate. Such rollover will be automatic unless
Customer notifies Pipeline in writing at least one year in advance of
the expiration of the primary term of its agreement, or any succeeding
rollover term, that it intends to exercise its right of first refusal
or wishes to negotiate a different extension period.
(c) Customer and Pipeline may agree to extend a service agreement for a
term of at least five years at mutually agreeable rates when Pipeline
has agreed to pay for all or part of the cost of modification or
construction of Customer's facilities required at a delivery point(s)
to effectuate the delivery of natural gas thereunder.
Pre-granted abandonment will still be applicable as stated in Section 10.1
above, at the end of the contractual term.
