SERVICE AGREEMENT
At the Company's request, the Shipper shall irrevocably appoint an agent in

Article 9 - Successors and Assigns
After establishing creditworthiness in accordance with Section 9 of Rate
Schedule T-1, any person which shall succeed by purchase, amalgamation, merger
or consolidation to the properties, substantially as an entirety, of Shipper or
of Company, as the case may be, and which shall assume all obligations under
Shipper's Service Agreement of Shipper or Company, as the case may be, shall be
entitled to the rights, and shall be subject to the obligations, of its
predecessor under Shipper's Service Agreement. Either party to a Shipper's
Service Agreement may pledge or charge the same under the provisions of any
mortgage, deed of trust, indenture, security agreement or similar instrument
which it has executed. After the affiliated Person has established
creditworthiness in accordance with Section 9 of Rate Schedule T-1, Shipper may
assign such Service Agreement to any affiliated Person (which for such purpose
shall mean any person which controls, is under common control with or is
controlled by such party). Nothing contained in this Article 9 shall, however,
operate to release predecessor Shipper from its obligation under its Service
Agreement unless Company shall, in its sole discretion, consent in writing to
such release, which it shall not do unless it concludes that, on the basis of
the facts available to it, such release is not likely to have a substantial
adverse effect upon other Shippers or other Persons who may become liable to
provide funds to Company to enable it to meet any of its obligations. Company
shall not release any Shipper from its obligations under its Service Agreement
without the written consent of the other firm Shippers unless: (a) such release
is effected pursuant to an assignment of obligations by such Shipper, and the
assumption thereof by the assignee, and the terms of such assignment and
assumption render the obligations being assigned and assumed no more conditional
and no less absolute than those at the time provided therein; and (b) such
release is not likely to have a substantial adverse effect upon Company or the
other firm Shippers. For the purposes hereof, and without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, any release of any Shipper from its obligations
under its Service Agreement shall be deemed likely to have a substantial adverse
effect upon Company or the other Shippers if the assignee of such obligations
has a credit standing which is not at least equal to the credit standing of the

assignor of such obligations (credit standings in each case as reflected by the
ratings on outstanding debt securities by ▇▇▇▇▇'▇ Investors Service, Standard
and Poor's Corporation or another rating service acceptable to all Shippers to
the extent available or by other appropriate objective measures). Shipper shall,
at Company's request, execute such instruments and take such other action as may
be desirable to give effect to any such assignment of Company's rights under
such Shipper's Service Agreement or to give effect to the right of a Person whom
the Company has specified pursuant to Section 6 of the General Terms and
Conditions of Company's FERC Gas Tariff as the Person to whom payment of amounts
invoiced by Company shall be made; provided, however, that: (a) Shipper shall
not be required to execute any such instruments or take any such other action
the effect of which is to modify the respective rights and obligations of either
Shipper or Company under this Service Agreement; and (b) Shipper shall be under
no obligation at any time to determine the status or amount of any payments
which may be due from Company to any Person whom the Company has specified
pursuant to said Section 6 as the Person to whom payment of amounts invoiced by
Company shall be made.
Article 10 - Loss of Governmental Authority, Gas Supply,
Transportation or Market
Without limiting its other responsibilities and obligations under this Service
Agreement, the Shipper acknowledges that it is responsible for obtaining and
assumes the risk of loss of the following: (1) gas removal permits, (2) export
and import licenses, (3) gas supply, (4) markets and (5) transportation upstream
and downstream of the Company's pipeline system. Notwithstanding the loss of one
of the items enumerated above, Shipper shall continue to be liable for payment
to the Company of the transportation charges as provided for in this Service
Agreement.
