and shall be subject to the obligations of its predecessor in

interest under this Agreement.

ARTICLE VI - REPLACEMENT SHIPPER'S INDEMNIFICATION

Replacement Shipper recognizes that its rights to transportation service

hereunder are solely those rights released by Releasing Shipper(s). The

Replacement Shipper agrees that it will indemnify Transporter against any claim

or suit of any kind by any Releasing Shipper, its successor or assigns arising

from any action taken by Transporter in reliance upon the nominations, scheduling

instructions or other communications from Replacement Shipper or its agents.

Replacement Shipper further agrees that it will hold Transporter harmless for any

action taken by Transporter in reliance upon the nominations, scheduling

instructions or other communications of the Releasing Shipper or its agents.

Replacement Shipper further recognizes and agrees that Transporter shall have no

obligation to honor any nomination or scheduling request from Replacement Shipper

or its agents that in Transporter's sole opinion conflicts with communications or

instructions received by Transporter from the Releasing Shipper (or its agents)

which is the source of the released transportation rights sought to be utilized

by Replacement Shipper hereunder.
