GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS

----------------------------

51. ACQUIRED CAPACITY

(a) Natural may from time to time enter into transportation or

storage agreements with upstream or downstream entities, including other

interstate pipelines, intrastate pipelines, or local distribution

companies (Acquired Capacity). Natural may use Acquired Capacity for its

system operational needs and to render service to its customers. Except

as provided in subsection (b), Natural states that, if it transports or

stores gas for others using Acquired Capacity, it will apply to such

services the same rates and tariffs as are applicable to onsystem

customers, as such rates and tariffs may change from time to time. For

purposes of any use of Acquired Capacity covered by this Section 51(a),

the "shipper must hold title" requirement is waived.

(b) Nothing herein shall be read to preclude Natural from

filing with the Commission for different tariff provisions applicable to

any service which Natural provides using Acquired Capacity; provided,

however, that the waiver of the "shipper must hold title" requirement

hereunder shall not apply in such a circumstance and Natural will be

required to seek a case-specific waiver of that requirement from the

Commission.
