GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
                                  (continued)
   
   
            (c)   duration of the OFO (if none is specified, the OFO
                  will be effective until further notice);
   
            (d)   the party or parties receiving the OFO;
   
            (e)   the quantity of Gas required to remedy the operational
                  condition requiring the issuance of the OFO; and
   
            (f)   any other terms Seller may reasonably require to
                  ensure the effectiveness of the OFO.
   
      16.6  Failure to Comply with OFO.  If Customer or agent fails to
            comply with the terms of an OFO, for any reason other than
            force majeure on an upstream or downstream pipeline, such
            Customer shall be: (a) liable for any damages including, but
            not limited to direct, consequential, exemplary or punitive
            damages incurred by Seller or any other affected party as a
            result of such failure.  Notwithstanding anything to
            the contrary in this Section 16.6, if Customer is required to
            make a nomination pursuant to an OFO, unless critical
            circumstances dictate otherwise, no damages and/or penalties
            will be assessed unless Customer is given the opportunity to
            correct the circumstances giving rise to the OFO.
   
      16.7  Seller's Liability for OFOs.  Seller shall not be liable to
            any person for any costs, damages or other liability
            associated with the issuance of, or the failure to issue,
            any OFOs, provided, however, Seller shall be liable for
            acts of negligence or undue discrimination, such standards
            to be judged in light of the emergency conditions under
            which OFOs are issued.
   
      16.8  Seller's Scheduling Authority.  Seller shall have the right
            to act as a scheduling agent for a Customer's account if
            (a) the Customer refuses to schedule Gas injections or
            withdrawals as specified by an OFO issued pursuant to
            Section 16.4(a); or (b), above, if Seller requires additional
            quantities in less than the twenty-four (24) hour notice
            period normally required for an OFO, and the Customer has
            refused a verbal request to schedule the required quantity
            of Gas.
