Tariff;

WHEREAS, Bidder desires to submit bids for transportation rights released by one or more

firm shippers and Transporter's tariff requires bidder to enter into this released transportation

service agreement as a pre-condition to the submission of any such bids; and

WHEREAS, Transporter is willing to enter into this Agreement with Bidder and provide

transportation service to Bidder as a Replacement Shipper to the extent it obtains released

ARTICLE I - RELEASED TRANSPORTATION RIGHTS

In the event transportation rights are released to Bidder, Transporter shall prepare and

transportation service, applicable receipt and delivery points, the rates to be paid for service

using released rights, the name of the Rate Schedule governing such released transportation rights

("Governing Rate Schedule") and any special terms and conditions applicable to such released

Each such Exhibit shall be added to this Agreement without any requirement of execution by

Replacement Shipper and, upon such addition, shall be incorporated in and be considered a part of
