GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
8. PRESSURE OF GAS DELIVERY AND OPERATIONAL FLOW ORDERS (Continued)
8.2 Operational Flow Orders (Continued)
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Sections 8.2 (a) and 8.2 (b)
hereof, an OFO shall not be issued (and backhaul nominations will not be
confirmed), to maintain firm deliveries under a backhaul service agreement
entered into, and approved by FERC, pursuant to Section 2.3 of Rate Schedule
FT-A, when sufficient displacement quantities are not available.
(d) Upon the issuance of an OFO by Company, it shall be incumbent upon each
Balancing Party to adjust gas supplies as directed. Such response shall
be required within the time frame specified in the OFO. Failure to comply
in a timely fashion with an OFO may result in an immediate interruption of
all or a portion of Balancing Party's service and cause Balancing Party to
incur penalties as provided for in Section 29 of the General Terms and
Conditions.
(e) In the event Balancing Party(s) does not respond to the OFO and Company
believes it is necessary to take actions (i.e., buying or selling gas,
etc.) to maintain system integrity or to prevent interrupting service to
another Shipper, Company shall have the right, but not the obligation, to
take such remedial actions as it deems necessary. If Company takes these
actions, it shall be made whole by the non-responding Balancing Party(s)
for all costs that Company incurs.
(f) Company shall not be liable for any costs incurred by any Balancing Party
in complying with an OFO.
(g) Company shall not be responsible for any damages that result from any
interruption in Balancing Party's service that is a result of a Balancing
Party's failure to comply promptly and fully with an OFO and the
non-complying Balancing Party(s) shall indemnify Company against any
claims of responsibility.
(h) Notwithstanding the foregoing, when gas supplies necessary to effectuate
transportation deliveries are not flowing on the system, Company will not
be responsible for backing up such supplies and the associated deliveries
will be subject to interruption.

Company shall issue an OFO as expeditiously as is reasonable and
practicable in the circumstances. When practicable, Company will provide
