GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
                                  (Continued)
   
   
                  (b)   After receipt of a Request for Storage Service
                        hereunder, Seller may require that Customer
                        furnish additional information as a prerequisite
                        to Seller offering to execute an Agreement with
                        Customer.  Such information may include proof of
                        Customer's title to the Gas involved and/or its
                        legal right to cause the Gas to be delivered to
                        Seller for Storage and of Customer's contractual
                        and/or physical ability to cause such Gas to be
                        delivered to and received from Seller.
   
            2.4   Request Validity.  Customer's Request for Storage
                  Service shall be considered null and void if Seller has
                  tendered an Agreement for execution to Customer and
                  Customer fails to execute the Agreement within thirty
                  (30) Days thereafter.  Seller will not execute an
                  Agreement under Rate Schedule FS for which it does not
                  have sufficient available capacity.  If sufficient
                  capacity is available, but Customer does not desire to
                  or cannot begin Storage Service within thirty (30) Days
                  after the date the request is made pursuant to Section
                  2.1 of these General Terms and Conditions, or such other
                  period as the parties may agree to in writing, then such
                  Request shall be considered null and void.
   
            2.5   Customer's Performance.  If a Customer that has executed
                  an Agreement for service under Rate Schedule IS fails,
                  on the later of the date service is to commence or
                  fifteen (15) Days after the Customer executes the
                  Agreement or the completion of construction of any
                  necessary facilities or the issuance of any necessary
                  governmental authorization, to nominate, pursuant to
                  Section 4.1 of these General Terms and Conditions, a
                  quantity of Gas for Storage, or fails, having nominated
                  a quantity of Gas and Seller having scheduled the
                  quantity for Storage, pursuant to Section 4.3 of these
                  General Terms and Conditions, to Tender such Gas for
                  Storage on the date it is scheduled, the Seller may
                  terminate Customer's Agreement and the Customer's
                  request for service  shall be deemed null and void;
                  provided, however, that the Customer's Agreement shall
                  not be terminated nor shall the Customer's request for
                  service be deemed null and void if the Customer's
                  failure to nominate or Tender is caused by an event of
                  force majeure on Seller's system, as defined in Section
                  9 of these General Terms and Conditions.
