11.3 Daily Interruption or Allocation of Transportation Service and Contract Storage
Services Due to Force Majeure or Operating Conditions (Continued)
(c) In the event of an allocation under Section 11.3(b), Buyer's reduced contract
entitlements shall be used for purposes of the overrun provisions of Section 18
hereof and Buyer's Responsibilities provisions in Seller's Rate Schedules FT,
FTN, FT-G, FDLS and SS-1 Section 7(c) Transportation Service. Notice provided by
Seller to Buyer of such reduced contract quantity entitlement shall be made

facsimile, e-mail and/or telephone, as requested by Buyer.
(d) In cases where Buyer is unable to deliver transportation gas to Seller, Buyer's
scheduled quantity shall be reduced to the gas quantity tendered by Buyer to
Seller, as independently verified and confirmed by Seller based on the best
information available to Seller. Such reductions to scheduled quantities will be
made in accordance with Section 28.4 of the General Terms and Conditions. In the
event of an occurrence under this Section, Buyer's entitlement shall be reduced

of the overrun provisions of Section 18 hereof and Buyer's Responsibilities
provisions in Seller's Rate Schedules FT, FTN, FT-G, FDLS and SS-1 Section 7(c)
Transportation Service; provided, however, that Buyer shall be entitled to
maintain its full contract entitlement, or any lesser portion of its contract
entitlement if Buyer or Buyer's Supplier guarantees the delivery into Seller's
system of the gas supplies which Seller cannot verify and confirm and which are
sufficient to supply Buyer's full entitlement or some portion thereof, and if
Buyer or Buyer's Supplier agrees in writing to be liable for any shortfall in the
guaranteed supplies in the same manner as an overrun under Section 18 hereof and
Buyer's Responsibilities provisions in Seller's Rate Schedules FT, FTN, FT-G,
FDLS and SS-1 Section 7(c) Transportation Service.
11.4 Relief From Sales Service Allocation In Emergency Situations
In the event an emergency situation, including an environmental emergency, should
arise in which supplemental deliveries of gas are required in order to forestall
irreparable injury to life or property, Seller shall have the right to adjust
allocations made pursuant to Sections 11.2(b) upon receipt of verified proof that such
an emergency exists and Buyer advises Seller fully of the steps it has taken to meet
such emergency. Any gas quantities received by Buyer under this Section shall not be
considered overrun volumes. In no event, however shall the aggregate of Seller's
deliveries to such Buyer exceed the Buyer's authorized maximum daily quantity of gas.
When Buyer declares an emergency situation in order to forestall irreparable injury to
life or property, Buyer shall attest: (1) to the nature and extent of the emergency;
(2) that all sources of gas supply available to Buyer, including peak-shaving and
storage, have been used to the fullest extent possible; (3) that all interruptible
services of Buyer have been curtailed during such emergency situation; (4) that no
alternate fuel could be used to prevent such emergency situation; and (5) to a
detailed plan to prevent a recurrence of similar emergency conditions.
