                                  (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 Customers
                        title to the Gas involved and/or its legal right to
                        cause the Gas to be delivered to Seller for Storage
                        and of Customers contractual and/or physical
                        ability to cause such Gas to be delivered to and
                        received from Seller.
   
            2.4   Request Validity.  Customers 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
                  this 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   Customers 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 Customers
                  Agreement and the Customers request for service  shall
                  be deemed null and void; provided, however, that the
                  Customers Agreement shall not be terminated nor shall
                  the Customers request for service be deemed null and
                  void if the Customers failure to nominate or Tender is
                  caused by an event of force majeure on Sellers system,
                  as defined in Section 9 of these General Terms and
                  Conditions.
