GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS

(continued)

10.6 Notification of Acceptance or Rejection. Service

will only be considered after the receipt by

Transporter of a complete request as provided above,

including, if required, submission of a credit

application and satisfactory assessment of

creditworthiness as provided in Section 14.5 below.

Transporter shall notify Shipper of acceptance or

rejection of the completed request as soon as

reasonably possible.

10.7 Failure to Execute Agreement or Initiate Service. If

Shipper fails to execute and return a Service

Agreement tendered by Transporter within thirty (30)

Days of Shipper's receipt of the Service Agreement,

or if, in the case of interruptible services,

Transporter has scheduled Shipper's Gas, yet Shipper

fails to tender Gas for such services by the later of

(i) the date agreed to in the Service Agreement; (ii)

fifteen (15) Days following its receipt of a fully

executed Service Agreement from Transporter; or (iii)

the date on which any necessary facilities are placed

into service, then Transporter may consider Shipper's

request for service withdrawn and the Service

Agreement terminated by Shipper, both becoming null

and void and without any force and effect; provided,

however, that Shipper's Service Agreement shall not

be terminated and Shipper's request for service shall

not be deemed withdrawn, if, and so long as,

Shipper's failure to tender Gas is due to the

existence of an event of force majeure upstream or

downstream from Transporter and, provided, further,

that nothing contained herein shall prejudice

Shipper's right to tender a new request for service

at anytime.

10.8 Curtailment.

(a) Capacity Curtailment: Notwithstanding any

provision contained in this Tariff, Transporter

shall have the right to interrupt, curtail or

discontinue receipts, deliveries and/or storage

of Gas when it determines that insufficient

capacity exists to perform services already

scheduled, due to events as provided in Sections

8 and 20 of these General Terms and Conditions

or otherwise when necessary due to a loss of
