ARTICLE XI - REGULATION

11.1 This Agreement shall be subject to all applicable governmental statutes, orders, rules

and regulations and is contingent upon the receipt and continuation of all necessary

regulatory approvals or authorizations upon terms acceptable to Transporter. This

Agreement shall be void and of no force and effect if any necessary regulatory approval

or authorization is not so obtained or continued. All parties hereto shall cooperate to

obtain or continue all necessary approvals or authorizations, but no party shall be

liable to any other party for failure to obtain or continue such approvals or

authorizations. Further, if any governmental body having jurisdiction over the service

provided for herein authorizes abandonment of such service on a date other than the

Termination Date as defined in Section 10.1 herein, then the Termination Date shall

nevertheless be the abandonment date so authorized.

11.2 Promptly following the execution of this Agreement, the Parties will file, or cause to

necessary regulatory bodies for approval of the service provided for herein.

approvals for service prior to the expiration of two (2) years from the effective date

hereof, then, prior to receipt of such regulatory approvals, either Party may terminate

this Agreement by giving the other Party at least thirty (30) days prior written notice,

and the respective obligations hereunder, except for the provisions of Article 6 herein,

shall be of no force and effect from and after the effective date of such termination.

hereunder.

12.2 Any person or entity which shall succeed by purchase, transfer, merger, or consolidation
