- 8 -

(i)

with respect to a challenged rate or a term or condition in an underlying local tariff, the Party that filed the applicable local tariff shall be solely responsible for defending the challenged rate, term or condition and remitting any reparations or refunds found or agreed to be owed on the basis of shipments made under that Party’s local tariff;

(ii)

with respect to shipments made under the International Joint Tariffs, any reparations or refunds found or agreed to be owed based on a determination that a Party’s underlying local tariff rate was improper shall be remitted by that Party;

(iii)

in the event that an underlying local rate is reduced by the FERC or the NEB such that the sum of the underlying local rates is less than the International Joint Tariff Rates then in effect for the same movement, then the International Joint Tariff Administrator shall file a revision of the International Joint Tariff Rates such that the International Joint Tariff Rates do not exceed the sum of the applicable underlying local rates; and

8.	Confidentiality

Each Party shall keep the terms and conditions of this Agreement confidential, and shall not disclose such terms and conditions to any third person without the prior consent of the other Party, except:

(a)	when and to the extent such disclosure is required by Applicable Law or the valid order of any Governmental Authority, provided that any available confidentiality protection pursuant to Applicable Law is invoked by the disclosing Party;

Starting July 1, 2012, the IJT rate will be escalated as of July 1^st of each year during the Term of this Agreement by 75 % of the average annual Canada Gross Domestic Producer Implicit Price Index (GDPP), which is published by Statistics Canada on or about February 28^th, for the prior calendar year. In addition to the IJT, shippers will be required to pay an outstanding amount surcharge for a 24 month period in accordance with the terms of the CTS. Further adjustments will be made as required under the CTS.

3.	The International Joint Tariff Rates will be filed with the NEB and FERC each year to become effective July 1^st of the applicable year.
