notice in the form set forth in an executed ITS Service

Agreement and reasonably full particulars of such force

majeure condition within a reasonable time after the

occurrence of the cause relied on, the party giving such

notice, so far as and to the extent that it is affected by

such force majeure, shall be excused from performance under

an executed ITS Service Agreement; provided, however, such

force majeure condition shall be remedied with all

reasonable dispatch. Settlement of labor difficulties

shall be strictly within the discretion of the party having

the difficulty.

8.2 Without limitation by this recital, force majeure shall

include acts of God; acts of a public enemy; fires;

necessity for compliance with any court order, law,

regulation or ordinance of authorities having jurisdiction,

either federal or state, civil or military; civil

relocation, or construction of facilities; breakage or

accident to machinery or lines of pipe; the necessity for

testing (as required by governmental authority or as deemed

necessary by the testing party for the safe operation

thereof); the necessity of making repairs or alterations to

machinery or lines of pipe; failure of surface equipment of

pipelines; inability of either party hereto to obtain

necessary material, supplies, or permits, or labor to

perform or comply with any obligations or condition of this

ITS Rate Schedule or of the ITS Service Agreement; inability

to obtain rights-of-way; and any other causes, whether of

the kind herein recited or not, which are not

reasonably in the control of the party claiming

suspension.
