GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS

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

(b) An entity other than the Shipper may agree to take

responsibility for Operational Flow Orders on behalf of a Shipper or

a point operator or on behalf of the operator of a specified end-use

facility. To accept such responsibility, the entity must provide MEP

with written notification which includes: (i) written consent by the

affected Shipper or operator; (ii) specification of any limits on the

entity's responsibility; (iii) the term over which the notification

is effective; and (iv) an identification of adequate resources which

will be used to support the assumption of responsibility. Any

notification or change in notification is effective on the second

notification is in effect, MEP will direct any Operational Flow Order

repairs, etc.). MEP shall provide as much advance warning as

practicable of: (i) conditions which may create the need to issue an

Operational Flow Order; and (ii) the issuance, termination or

modification of an Operational Flow Order. MEP will endeavor to post

the notice that it will issue an Operational Flow Order on its
