THIS SECOND TIER RECEIVABLES SALE AGREEMENT, dated as of October 6, 2006, is by and between SNG FINANCE COMPANY, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability (“Finance LLC”), and SNG FUNDING COMPANY, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company (“Buyer”). Unless defined elsewhere herein, capitalized terms used in this Agreement shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in, or as otherwise provided in, Exhibit I.

PRELIMINARY STATEMENTS

Finance LLC is party to that certain First Tier Receivables Purchase Agreement dated as of October 6, 2006 (as the same may from time to time hereafter be amended, supplemented, restated or otherwise modified, the “First Tier Sale Agreement”) between Southern Natural Gas Company, a Delaware corporation (“Originator”), and Finance LLC, pursuant to which Originator will sell and assign to Finance LLC, and Finance LLC will purchase from Originator, all of Originator’s right, title and interest in and to Receivables, together with the Related Security and Collections with respect thereto. Finance LLC wishes to sell and assign to Buyer, and Buyer wishes to purchase from Finance LLC, immediately following the purchase of Receivables from Originator, all of Finance LLC’s right, title and interest in and to such Receivables, together with the Related Security and Collections with respect thereto. Finance LLC and Buyer intend the transactions contemplated hereby to be true sales of the Receivables from Finance LLC to Buyer, providing Buyer with the full benefits of ownership of the Receivables, and Finance LLC and Buyer do not intend these transactions to be, or for any purpose (other than the Intended Characterization) to be characterized as, loans from Buyer to Finance LLC. Immediately following the purchase of Receivables from Finance LLC, Buyer will (i) issue undivided interests (intended to constitute senior beneficial interests) in such Receivables and the associated Related Security and Collections (the “Investor Interests”) pursuant to that certain Receivables Purchase Agreement dated as of October 6, 2006 (as the same may from time to time hereafter be amended, supplemented, restated or otherwise modified, the “Purchase Agreement”) among Buyer, Southern Natural Gas Company, as Servicer, the “Investors” and “Managing Agents” from time to time party thereto and BNP Paribas, New York Branch, as Program Agent (in such capacity, and including any successor agent appointed pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the “Program Agent”), and (ii) issue an undivided interest (intended to constitute a junior beneficial interest) in such Receivables and the associated Related Security and Collections (the “Junior Interest”) to Finance LLC.

ARTICLE I

AMOUNTS AND TERMS

Section 1.1. Purchase of Receivables.

(a) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions hereof, Buyer hereby agrees to purchase, and Finance LLC hereby agrees to sell, all of Finance LLC’s right, title and interest in and to all of its Receivables (each such transaction, a “Purchase”). On the date of Finance LLC’s initial purchase of Receivables from Originator pursuant to the First Tier Sale Agreement (the “Initial Purchase Date”), Buyer shall purchase, and Finance LLC shall sell, transfer and convey, all of Finance LLC’s right, title and interest in and to all Receivables then outstanding, together with all Related Security relating thereto and all Collections thereof. On each Business Day thereafter until the Termination Date, Buyer shall purchase, and Finance LLC shall sell, transfer and convey, all of Finance LLC’s right, title and interest in and to all Receivables which were not previously purchased by Buyer hereunder, together in each case with all Related Security relating thereto and all Collections thereof. Prior to making the initial Purchase hereunder, Buyer may request of Finance LLC, and Finance LLC shall deliver, such approvals, opinions, information, reports or documents as Buyer may reasonably request.

(b) It is the intention of the parties hereto that each Purchase of Receivables made hereunder shall constitute a “sale of accounts” (as such term is used in Article 9 of the UCC), which sales are absolute and irrevocable and shall provide Buyer with the full benefits of ownership of the Receivables. Except for the Purchase Price Credits, Repurchase Prices and Special Adjustment Credits owed pursuant to Section 1.3, each sale of Receivables hereunder is made without recourse to Finance LLC; provided that (i) Finance LLC shall be liable to Buyer for all representations, warranties and covenants made by Finance LLC pursuant to the terms of the Transaction Documents to which Finance LLC is a party, and (ii) such sale does not constitute and is not intended to result in an assumption by Buyer or any assignee thereof of any obligation of Finance LLC or any other Person arising in connection with the Receivables, the related Contracts, the Related Security or any other obligations of Finance LLC. In view of the intention of the parties hereto that the Purchases of Receivables made hereunder shall constitute sales of such Receivables rather than loans secured thereby, Finance LLC agrees, on or prior to the Initial Purchase Date and in accordance with Section 4.1(f)(ii), to ▇▇▇▇ its master data processing records relating to the Receivables with a legend acceptable to Buyer and to the Program Agent (as Buyer’s assignee), evidencing that Buyer has purchased such Receivables as provided in this Agreement and to note in its financial statements that the Receivables have been sold to Buyer. Upon the request of Buyer or the Program Agent (as Buyer’s assignee), Finance LLC will execute and file such financing or continuation statements, or amendments thereto or assignments thereof, and such other instruments or notices, as may be necessary or appropriate to perfect and maintain the perfection of Buyer’s ownership interest in the Receivables and the Related Security and Collections with respect thereto, or as Buyer or the Program Agent (as Buyer’s assignee) may reasonably request.

Section 1.2. Payment for the Purchases.

(a) The Purchase Price for each Purchase of Receivables on the Initial Purchase Date in existence on the Initial Purchase Date shall be payable in full by Buyer to Finance LLC on such date, and shall be paid to Finance LLC in the following manner:

(i) by delivery of immediately available funds, to the extent of funds made available to Buyer in connection with its subsequent issue of Investor Interests under the Purchase Agreement (including Reinvestments thereunder) after the payment of its operating costs and any amounts payable under the Purchase Agreement; and

(ii) the balance, by issuing the Junior Interest to Seller.

The Purchase Price for each Receivable purchased by Finance LLC pursuant to the First Tier Sale Agreement after the Initial Purchase Date shall be due and owing in full by Buyer to Finance LLC or its designee on the date each such Receivable is purchased by Finance LLC (except that Buyer may, with respect to any such Purchase Price, offset against such Purchase Price any amounts owed by Finance LLC to Buyer hereunder and which have become due but remain unpaid) and shall be paid to Finance LLC in the manner provided in the following paragraphs (b) and (c).

(b) With respect to any Receivables purchased by Finance LLC pursuant to the First Tier Sale Agreement, Buyer shall pay the Purchase Price therefor in the following manner:

(i) first, by delivery of immediately available funds on the Business Day on which purchase occurs to the extent of funds available to Buyer from its subsequent issue of Investor Interests under the Purchase Agreement (including Reinvestments thereunder) or other cash on hand;

(ii) second, on a deferred basis in the manner provided in the following paragraph (c); and

(iii) third, unless Buyer has declared the Termination Date to have occurred pursuant to Section 5.2, by an increase in the amount of the Junior Interest equal to the remaining unpaid balance of such Purchase Price.

(c) Although the Purchase Price for each Receivable purchased by Buyer pursuant to this Agreement after the Initial Purchase Date shall be due and payable in full by Buyer to Finance LLC on the date such Receivable was so purchased, settlement of the cash portion of the Purchase Price between Buyer and Finance LLC for purchases occurring during any Monthly Period shall be deferred, to the extent Buyer does not have funds available from its subsequent issue of Investor Interests under the Purchase Agreement (including Reinvestments thereunder) or other cash on hand on such Business Day and settled, with respect to all Receivables purchased by Buyer during such Monthly Period, on each subsequent Business Day on or prior to the next following Monthly Settlement Date to the extent of funds available to Buyer on such Business Day from subsequent issue of Investor Interests under the Purchase Agreement (including Reinvestments thereunder) or other cash on hand. Although settlement of the cash portion of the Purchase Price for Receivables shall be effected on a deferred basis as provided herein, any increase in the Junior Interest pursuant to clause (iii) of Section 1.2(b) in connection with the purchase thereof by Buyer shall be deemed to have occurred and shall be effective as of the Business Day on which such purchase occurred.

(d) From and after the Termination Date, Finance LLC shall not be obligated to (but may, at Finance LLC’s option) sell Receivables to Buyer on the terms of this Agreement.

Section 1.3. Purchase Price Credit and other Adjustments.

(a) If on any day:

(i) the Net Outstanding Balance of a Receivable (other than the portion thereof constituting an Additional Amount) is:

(A) reduced as a result of any defective or rejected goods or services, any discount or any adjustment (including as a result of billing errors or rate adjustments) or otherwise by Originator or Finance LLC (other than cash Collections on account of the Receivables), or

(B) reduced or canceled as a result of a setoff in respect of any claim by any Person (whether such claim arises out of the same or a related transaction or an unrelated transaction), or

(ii) any of the representations and warranties set forth in Article II of the First Tier Sale Agreement are no longer true with respect to any Receivable (unless such untrue representation or warranty affects only any portion thereof constituting an Additional Amount),

then, in such event, (i) unless Originator elects to repurchase such Receivable from Finance LLC pursuant to clause (y) of Section 1.3(a) of the First Tier Sale Agreement, Buyer shall be entitled to a credit (each, a “Purchase Price Credit”) equal to the amount of the Purchase Price Credit (as defined in the First Tier Sale Agreement) to which Finance LLC is entitled to receive with respect to such Receivable pursuant to Section 1.3(a) of the First Tier Sale Agreement, or (ii) if Originator elects to repurchase such Receivable from Finance LLC pursuant to clause (y) of Section 1.3(a) of the First Tier Sale Agreement, Finance LLC shall repurchase such Receivable from Buyer, without recourse, representation or warranty, for a repurchase price (each, a “Repurchase Price”) equal to the Repurchase Price (as defined in the First Tier Sale Agreement) to which Finance LLC is entitled to receive with respect to such Receivable pursuant to Section 1.3(a) of the First Tier Sale Agreement. The aggregate Purchase Price Credits and Repurchase Prices payable with respect to any day shall be due and payable within two Business Days after such day and shall (i) first be applied as a credit against the Purchase Price for the Receivables to be purchased by Buyer on the date of the payment thereof up to the amount of the cash portion thereof otherwise available to be paid to Finance LLC in cash pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) of Section 1.2(b) and (ii) second, to the extent of the balance thereof, paid by Finance LLC for the account of Buyer and its assigns on such date (but solely from cash payments received by Finance LLC from Originator pursuant to Section 1.3(a) of the First Tier Sale Agreement) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Collection Account maintained under the Purchase Agreement.

(b) On each day on which there is a Special Adjustment Amount payable under the Purchase Agreement, Buyer shall be entitled to a purchase price adjustment credit (each, a “Special Adjustment Credit”) equal to the amount of such Special Adjustment Amount, which shall be due and payable on such day shall (i) first be applied as a credit against the Purchase Price for the Receivables to be purchased by Buyer on the date of the payment thereof up to the amount of the cash portion thereof otherwise available to be paid to Originator in cash pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) of Section 1.2(b), after giving effect to any reductions therein pursuant to Section 1.3(a), and (ii) second, to the extent of the balance thereof, paid in cash by Finance LLC to Buyer on such date (but solely from cash payments received by Finance LLC from Originator pursuant to Section 1.3(b) of the First Tier Sale Agreement).

Section 1.4. Payments and Computations, Etc. All amounts to be paid or deposited by Buyer to Finance LLC hereunder shall be paid or deposited in accordance with the terms hereof on the day when due in immediately available funds to the account of Finance LLC as is designated from time to time by Finance LLC or as otherwise directed by Finance LLC. All amounts to be paid by Finance LLC to Buyer hereunder shall be paid in accordance with the terms hereof on the day when due in immediately available funds for the account of Buyer and its assigns to the Collection Account maintained under the Purchase Agreement or as otherwise directed by Buyer with the consent of the Program Agent. In the event that any payment owed by any Person hereunder becomes due on a day that is not a Business Day, then such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day. If any Person fails to pay any amount hereunder when due, such Person agrees to pay, on demand, the Default Fee in respect thereof until paid in full; provided that such Default Fee shall not at any time exceed the maximum rate permitted by applicable law. All computations of interest payable hereunder shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days (including the first but excluding the last day) elapsed.

Section 1.5. Transfer of Records.

(a) In connection with the Purchase of Receivables hereunder, Finance LLC hereby sells, transfers, assigns and otherwise conveys to Buyer all of Finance LLC’s right and title to and interest in the Records (to the extent assignable) relating to all Receivables sold hereunder, without the need for any further documentation in connection with the Purchase.

(b) Finance LLC shall take such action reasonably requested by Buyer or the Program Agent (as Buyer’s assignee), from time to time hereafter, that may be necessary or appropriate to ensure that Buyer and its assigns under the Purchase Agreement have an enforceable ownership interest in the Records (to the extent assignable) relating to the Receivables purchased from Finance LLC hereunder.

Section 1.6. Rights under Lock-Boxes, Blocked Accounts and First Tier Sale Agreement. In consideration of Buyer’s purchase of Receivables hereunder, Finance LLC hereby sells and assigns to Buyer, all of Finance LLC’s rights under, in and to (but none of its obligations under) (a) each Lock-Box and Blocked Account and (b) the First Tier Receivables Sale Agreement (including (i) all payment rights thereunder, (ii) all rights to indemnification or reimbursement or similar rights arising thereunder, (iii) all representations and warranties made by Originator thereunder, and (iv) all UCC financing statements filed pursuant thereto), and all proceeds of thereof. In connection with such sale and assignment, Finance LLC agrees that Buyer and its assigns shall have the right to enforce Finance LLC’s rights and remedies under the First Tier Sale Agreement, to receive all amounts payable thereunder or in connection therewith, to consent to amendments, modifications or waivers thereof, and to direct, instruct or request any action thereunder, but in each case without any obligation on the part of Buyer or its assigns or any of its or their respective Affiliates to perform any of the obligations of Finance LLC under the First Tier Sale Agreement. From and after the occurrence of a Termination Event and during the continuance thereof, Buyer or its assigns shall have the exclusive right to direct the enforcement by Finance LLC of its rights under the First Tier Sale Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Finance LLC shall not consent to the eligibility of Excluded Receivables as Receivables under the First Tier Sale Agreement without the prior consent of Buyer.

Section 1.7. Characterization. If, notwithstanding the intention of the parties expressed in Section 1.1(b), any sale or contribution by Finance LLC to Buyer of Receivables hereunder shall be characterized as a secured loan and not a sale or such sale shall for any reason be ineffective or unenforceable, then this Agreement shall be deemed to constitute a security agreement under the UCC and other applicable law. For this purpose and without being in derogation of the parties’ intention that each sale of Receivables hereunder shall constitute a true sale thereof, Finance LLC hereby grants to Buyer a duly perfected security interest in all of Finance LLC’s right, title and interest in, to and under all of the Receivables purchased or intended to be purchased by Buyer hereunder now existing and hereafter arising, all Collections, Related Security and Records with respect thereto, each Lock-Box and Blocked Account and all agreements related thereto, all of Finance LLC’s rights under, in and to the First Tier Receivables Sale Agreement (including (a) all payment rights thereunder, (b) all rights to indemnification arising thereunder, (c) all representations and warranties made by Originator thereunder, and (d) all UCC financing statements filed pursuant thereto), and all proceeds of the foregoing, which security interest shall be prior to all other Adverse Claims thereto. After the occurrence of a Termination Event, Buyer and its assigns shall have, in addition to the rights and remedies which they may have under this Agreement, all other rights and remedies provided to a secured creditor after default under the UCC and other applicable law, which rights and remedies shall be cumulative.

(p) Taxes. It and its Subsidiaries have duly filed all tax returns required to be filed by it, and has duly paid and discharged all taxes, assessments and governmental charges upon it or against its properties now due and payable, the failure to file or pay which, as applicable, would have a Material Adverse Effect, unless and to the extent only that the same are being contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings by it or such Subsidiary.
