GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
----------------------------
(e) In the event Natural constructs new lateral facilities
to accommodate a Shipper, Natural may require from the Shipper
security in an amount up to the cost of the facilities. This
provision does not apply to mainline expansions. Such security may be
in any of the forms available under Section 16(b) of these General
Terms and Conditions, at Shipper's choice. Natural is only permitted
to recover the cost of facilities once, either through rates or
through this provision. As Natural recovers the cost of these
facilities through its rates, the security required shall be reduced
accordingly. Specifically, collateral provided by a Shipper related
to new facilities shall be returned to that Shipper in equal monthly
amounts over the term of its contract for service related to the new
facilities or as otherwise mutually agreed by Natural and Shipper.
Where facilities are constructed to serve multiple Shippers, an
individual Shipper's obligation hereunder shall be for no more than
its proportionate share of the cost of the facilities. This
requirement is in addition to and shall not supersede or replace any
other rights that Natural may have regarding the construction and
reimbursement of facilities.
(f) Natural may not take any action under this Section 16
which conflicts with any order of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court.
