(e) Limitation on Penalties - Any imbalances caused by an event of force
majeure as set forth in Section 24 of the General Terms and Conditions
of Transporter's Tariff or caused by Transporter's actions (1) will not
be included in the calculation of the total monthly imbalance for
purposes of determining the appropriate cash-out level and (2) will be
cashed out at the 0-5% tolerance level, as set forth in Section 8.3.
(f) Disposition of Charges: At the conclusion of each annual period,
Transporter will determine the net cashout activity under its LMS Rate
Schedules. In the event that charges collected by Transporter under
its cashout provisions exceed the actual cost of providing service,
Transporter shall credit such excess revenues to all eligible Balancing
Parties. Credits shall be applied based on (1) volumes shipped during
each month that the Balancing Party used the Cashout Option during the
past year and (2) a pro rata portion of volumes shipped by Balancing
Parties which elect the Storage Swing Option but who also resolve
imbalances pursuant to this Cashout Option. Such proration shall be
based on the imbalances cashed out versus imbalances swung to storage.
Any credits due hereunder shall be made within 45 days following
approval by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission of Transporter's
report and refund plan concerning such credits. To the extent that the
cashout activity in any annual period results in a negative balance,
such balance will be carried forward and applied to the next annual
determination of cashout activity. Within 150 days after each
anniversary of the Implementation Date, Transporter will file a report
and refund plan with the Commission.

right to take action as may be required to adjust deliveries of gas in order
to alleviate conditions that threaten the integrity of its system.

Gas Pipeline Company ("Tennessee") for service pursuant to Tennessee's Rate
Schedule FS and for firm transportation on Tennessee, to use up to two FS
contracts and any number of firm transportation contracts at a time for
balancing of daily variances, consistent with Section 9 of the LMS-MA Rate
Schedule of Tennessee's FERC Gas Tariff.
