      16.   OPERATIONAL FLOW ORDER ("OFO")
   
            16.1  General. Seller, in its discretion, shall have the right to
                  issue OFOs when in its judgement it is necessary to
                  maintain or restore the operational integrity of Seller's
                  Storage system. Seller will not be required to issue an
                  OFO:
   
                  (a)   to redeliver Gas to any Customer that has not tendered
                        Equivalent Quantities of Gas to Seller's Storage
                        system; or
   
                  (b)   to any other pipeline in order to obtain access to
                        quantities of Gas, except to the extent that such
                        quantities of Gas are being transported by such
                        pipeline for the account of a Customer.
    
                  Seller shall not be required to respond to any OFO that it
                  receives from an interstate pipeline that is not currently
                  providing Equivalent Quantities and pressures of Gas to
                  Seller, unless Seller is a customer on that pipeline.
   
            16.2  Forms of OFOs.  An OFO may:
   
                  (a)   direct any Customer to increase/decrease quantities
                        injected or withdrawn or increase/decrease pressures
                        at a Point of Injection/Withdrawal, in accordance
                        with Section 16.4, below; or
   
                  (b)   implement verbal arrangements with transporters; or
   
                  (c)   enable Seller to take or require any other actions as
                        may be deemed necessary by Seller in its judgement in
                        order to maintain the operational integrity of
                        Seller's Storage system.
   
            16.3  OFO Operations Conditions. OFOs may be issued in any of the
                  following circumstances:
   
                  (a)   to alleviate conditions that threaten the operational
                        integrity of Seller's Storage system; or
   
                  (b)   to maintain minimum necessary pressures for Storage
                        operations; or
   
                  The OFO will remain in effect until the operational
                  condition requiring its issuance has been remedied.
