                        Pacific Gas and Electric Company

                           Electronic Commerce System

                                 User Agreement

            This agreement ("Agreement") is between Pacific Gas and Electric
Company ("PG&E"), and the party identified below (hereafter "User").

            WHEREAS, PG&E has established an electronic commerce system and one
or more websites or other Internet-based electronic transaction and scheduling
facilities (and may establish additional such facilities). (The electronic
commerce system, website(s) and facilities are referred to herein collectively
as the "ECS.") Included in the ECS is the capability to do the following
transactions: enter into a Gas Transmission Service Agreement ("GTSA") and
Exhibits thereto; enter into a Noncore Balancing Aggregation Agreement ("NBAA");
conduct natural gas pipeline related business, and trade on the California Gas
Transmission ("CGT") Trading Platform, including without limitation: (i)
obtaining natural gas transportation, storage, parking and lending services
provided pursuant to a GTSA on the PG&E natural gas pipeline system
(collectively "Service Transactions"); (ii) scheduling of such services
("Scheduling Transactions"); (iii) trading of natural gas imbalances; and (iv)
on-line accessing of pipeline related information. (The Service Transactions and
Scheduling Transactions are also collectively referred to herein as
"Transactions.")

            WHEREAS, User desires to access and use the ECS; and PG&E is willing
to provide such access subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein.

            NOW THEREFORE, for consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which
are hereby acknowledged, the parties intending to be legally bound, agree as
follows:

1.    ACCESS AND USE CONDITIONS

      After execution of this Agreement, and subject to its terms and
      conditions, PG&E agrees to provide User with on-line access to the ECS,
      and User understands and agrees to the following:

      1.1.  User shall complete and execute the "Access Request Form," attached
            hereto as Exhibit B, identifying authorized employees or agents of
            User, designated by User to access and use the ECS and execute
            transactions on behalf of User. PG&E will issue to User an
            identification code ("User ID") for each of User's employees and
            agents identified on Exhibit B, to enable User to access and use the
            ECS. Any and all use and/or access of the ECS with any of the User
            IDs issued to User shall be deemed and construed to be use or access
            by User. User shall strictly limit the use of the User IDs to those
            employees and agents of User who are identified on Exhibit B. User
            shall immediately notify PG&E when

<PAGE>

            an individual identified on Exhibit B ceases to be authorized by
            User to use his or her User ID, by submitting a modified Exhibit B
            to PG&E.

      1.2.  User shall take all measures to maintain the confidentiality of the
            User IDs and of all passwords used to access the ECS ("Passwords").
            User shall be solely responsible for the assignment, security and
            use of the User IDs and Passwords and the control and monitoring of
            such use. PG&E shall have no responsibility for any of the foregoing
            and no liability for or arising from the use of the User IDs or
            Passwords by anyone. User shall be solely responsible and liable for
            any and all acts and omissions with respect to access or use of the
            ECS by anyone using the User IDs, including, but not limited to, the
            execution of Transactions.

      1.3.  User agrees to indemnify and hold PG&E harmless from and against all
            damages, losses, and liabilities arising out of or in connection
            with any breach of confidentiality, misuse or unauthorized use of
            any User ID issued by PG&E to User, regardless of whether User has
            notified PG&E as required by paragraph 1.1 above.

      1.4.  User will access and use the ECS (including, but not limited to,
            execution of Transactions) solely for its own internal business
            purposes and in accordance with the terms and conditions of this
            Agreement, any procedures established by PG&E with respect to the
            access or use of the ECS and any other terms and conditions
            specified or referred to on the ECS from time to time. User
            understands and agrees that User's use of the ECS may be limited or
            modified by the terms of licenses or other agreements between PG&E
            and third parties. User further agrees that PG&E may modify or limit
            the use of the ECS at any time and without notice. PG&E may, in its
            sole discretion, terminate, restrict, or suspend User's access to
            and use of the ECS.

      1.5.  User acknowledges that use of the ECS by User involves transmission
            over the worldwide communications network or Internet of
            proprietary, confidential and/or time sensitive information of User.
            User understands the risks associated with the transmission of such
            information by User over the worldwide communications network or
            Internet. User agrees that PG&E shall not be liable or responsible
            in any way to User for any losses, damages, claims, costs, expenses
            or other obligations arising out of or relating to any delay in
            transmission, disclosure or use of such information or data
            transmitted over the worldwide communications network or Internet.
            User further acknowledges and agrees that User is solely responsible
            for the accuracy of all information and data that User transmits to
            PG&E, and PG&E shall not be responsible or liable for any such
            inaccuracies or their effects.

      1.6.  User further agrees that PG&E shall not be responsible for delays in
            sending or receiving User's transmissions or data, for unauthorized
            access to or alteration of User's transmissions or data, any
            transmission, information or data sent or received or not sent or
            received, or any Transactions entered into or through the

<PAGE>

            ECS. User specifically agrees that PG&E is not responsible or liable
            for any threatening, defamatory, obscene, offensive or illegal
            content or conduct of any other party or any infringement of any
            other party's rights, including intellectual property rights.

      1.7.  User understands and agrees that (i) User is solely responsible for
            acquiring and ensuring that it possesses sufficient Internet access
            speed capability to adequately conduct business on the ECS, and (ii)
            User shall be solely responsible for all costs associated with its
            accessing and using the ECS.

      1.8.  User acknowledges and consents that PG&E, as the ECS operator, shall
            have access to and the right to review, to the fullest extent
            allowed by law, files and other communication of any sort on the ECS
            whether or not such communications are designated as private or
            confidential.

2.    BINDING CONTRACTS

      User acknowledges that by using the ECS, it may enter into binding
      contracts with PG&E and with third parties. User agrees that (i) any and
      all access or use of the ECS using the User IDs will be governed by this
      Agreement; (ii) any nomination or offer placed, any contract terms,
      conditions or exhibits accepted or confirmed, and any Transaction
      executed, on the ECS will be deemed to be "in writing," to have been
      signed," or be an "executed" writing; and (iii) accepting or entering into
      a Transaction by using the ECS, as it now exists or may in the future be
      modified, and subject to applicable tariffs, shall constitute a written
      contract (a "Contract"). With limitation of the foregoing, User agrees
      that it will be bound by any and all contract terms and conditions,
      including, but not limited to, the GTSA and NBAA, and by any and all
      nominations, offer, trades, or other Transactions executed, accepted or
      confirmed on the ECS through a "click" agreement by any individual using
      the User ID. By executing this Agreement, User agrees that it adopts as
      User's signature any such "click agreement," defined for purposes of this
      Agreement as "clicking" on the designated space on the ECS (or other
      action on the ECS specified by PG&E), and such "click agreement" will,
      together with this Agreement, constitute an executed writing. User agrees
      to waive any Statute of Frauds defense to the enforceability of any
      Contract arising from use of the ECS. User agrees and warrants that any
      employee or agent of User using the ECS shall have all necessary power and
      authority to use the ECS and enter into Transactions as herein provided.
      User warrants for itself and its successors and assigns that for each
      Transaction that User may enter into by using the ECS, User shall have all
      right, title, power and authority necessary to honor that Contract.

      2.1.  User and PG&E agree that this Article 2 is intended to benefit other
            users accessing the ECS, and that such other users are third party
            beneficiaries of this Article 2. User and PG&E do not intend hereby
            that other users are or will be third party beneficiaries of any
            other provisions of this Agreement.

<PAGE>

3.    APPLICABLE TARIFFS, TERMS AND CONDITIONS

      User agrees that it shall be bound by all the terms and conditions of this
      Agreement, the terms and conditions accepted on the ECS by a click
      agreement in accordance with Article 2 above, as well as any and all
      applicable tariffs currently in effect for PG&E as approved by the
      California Public Utilities Commission ("CPUC") and/or the Federal Energy
      Regulatory Commission ("FERC"), or which may hereafter be implemented, and
      all amendments thereof. Such tariffs are matters of public record, which
      User represents that it has reviewed and will review in the future.

4.    TRANSACTIONS AND CONFIRMATIONS

      4.1.  After User has received the User ID(s) and has executed the
            applicable contracts (and subject to applicable tariffs), User may
            enter into Transactions, including service elections under a GTSA
            executed by User ("User GTSA"), as follows:

            4.1.1. GTSA Service Elections: User shall enter into Transactions,
                   i.e., elect services under User's GTSA, including Gold Coast
                   Transportation Services, Golden Gate Market Center Services,
                   and Storage Services, and PG&E may accept and authorize such
                   service elections, by following the procedures set forth in
                   paragraph 4.1.2 of this Agreement. Such procedures in
                   paragraph 4.1.2 shall be used instead of the procedures set
                   forth in the User GTSA providing that a service election
                   shall be entered into through, and evidenced by, a "hard
                   copy" of Exhibits A through I (Form No. 79-866), or any one
                   of them; and providing for a written signature by User and
                   countersignature by PG&E to such Exhibits A through I.

            4.1.2. Service Transaction:  User may telephone a PG&E CGT
                   Representative to enter into a Service Transaction.

                   PG&E may accept or reject User's offer or order in PG&E's
                   sole discretion. Service Transactions shall be deemed
                   executed at the time that PG&E first signifies its acceptance
                   of User's offer or order, which in most instances will occur
                   when User enters into a Transaction with PG&E orally by
                   telephone, as documented by an audio recording. The audio
                   recording of Transactions between User and PG&E shall
                   constitute evidence of such Transactions, and User hereby
                   consents to the recording of all Transactions between User
                   and PG&E.

                   After User and PG&E have entered into a Service Transaction
                   orally by telephone, PG&E will provide notice to User by
                   e-mail that an electronic exhibit confirming the specific
                   business terms of that Service Transaction are posted on the
                   ECS (the "Electronic Exhibit"). The terms of the Electronic
                   Exhibit shall be valid and binding on User, unless User deems
                   any of the terms of the Electronic Exhibit to be stated
                   incorrectly

<PAGE>

                  and notifies PG&E of the incorrect term(s) as soon as possible
                  but no later than within five (5) business days (the "Response
                  Period") following receipt of the e-mail notice. If PG&E and
                  User disagree as to the correct terms of the Electronic
                  Exhibit, the audio recording of the transaction shall prevail
                  and shall constitute evidence of the Transaction and its term.
                  If the term or terms in dispute cannot be determined from such
                  recording, and the parties do not resolve the dispute within
                  two (2) business days, the Transaction shall be deemed void.
                  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if User does not notify PG&E of
                  an error in the Exhibit within the Response Period, or if User
                  nominates, takes delivery, or performs any other act
                  indicating performance of or under the Service Transaction,
                  the Electronic Exhibit shall be deemed confirmed by User,
                  absent an obvious error in the Electronic Exhibit.

            4.1.3. Scheduling Transactions:  After User has executed any
                   necessary Service Transactions, User may submit nominations
                   for transportation, parking, lending, storage and other
                   services, on-line, using the ECS.

            4.1.4. Imbalance Trading: User may utilize the ECS, subject to the
                   terms, conditions, and limitations of this Agreement, to
                   confirm a trade, or to confirm a trade with another User, of
                   operating or cumulative imbalances, as those are defined and
                   specified in PG&E's CPUC-approved rate Schedule G-BAL. User
                   acknowledges that such trades do not involve PG&E as a party
                   to the trade. User agrees that it may enter into such trades
                   as set forth in Schedule G-BAL and may utilize the ECS to
                   confirm the trade and to notify PG&E of the trade, provided,
                   however, that User strictly follows the protocols, directions
                   and rules for confirming trades as set forth in the ECS.

5.    FEES AND TERMS OF PAYMENT

      5.1.  User understands that initially (and subject to the provisions of
            this Article 5) PG&E is making access to the ECS available to User
            for no direct charge, except for telephone access charges and any
            Internet access fees, which shall be and remain User's
            responsibility.

      5.2.  PG&E reserves the right to initiate and/or modify fees for the use
            of the ECS, subject to Commission approval. User has the right to
            discontinue use of the ECS at that time or continue using the ECS
            subject to such fees.

6.    TITLE AND RIGHTS TO ECS, INFORMATION AND SERVICES

      6.1.  User acknowledges that PG&E and its licensors are the owners of all
            intellectual property rights in and to the ECS, the software used in
            connection therewith, and all information contained thereon or
            related thereto, and User shall have no right, title, or interest in
            any of these.

<PAGE>

      6.2.  User shall not copy, reverse-engineer, modify, or otherwise
            manipulate, or make available to any other party, all or any portion
            of the ECS or any software or information provided or accessed in
            connection with the ECS.

      6.3.  PG&E shall have the right to modify the ECS, User IDs, software, or
            communication access, and to terminate access to any or all of
            these, at any time. In the event of such a termination or
            modification, or termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article 7
            below, PG&E shall not be liable for any costs, losses or damages,
            including, but not limited to, lost profits or revenues.

7.    TERMINATION

      7.1.  This Agreement shall become effective on the date of its execution
            by PG&E and shall remain in effect until terminated as provided
            herein.

      7.2.  Either party may terminate this Agreement at its sole discretion by
            giving the other party at least thirty (30) days' prior written
            notice.

      7.3.  PG&E may terminate this Agreement immediately if User breaches this
            Agreement and does not cure the breach within fourteen (14) days of
            receipt of a written notice from PG&E, or if User fails to pay any
            required charges when due, fails to meet PG&E's applicable credit
            requirements, or fails to comply with the provisions of any tariff
            or any other contract entered into in connection with the ECS or
            this Agreement.

      7.4.  Upon the termination of this Agreement, PG&E will terminate User's
            access to the ECS and User shall discontinue using the software
            manuals, and other items ("Property" of PG&E or third parties) in
            User's possession and shall destroy all such Property, if any is in
            User's possession.

      7.5.  The provisions of Paragraphs 7.3 and 7.4, and Articles 6, 8 and 10
            shall survive termination of this Agreement by either party; and all
            articles or paragraphs of this Agreement which by their nature are
            intended to survive termination or expiration of this Agreement
            shall also survive. This Agreement shall also remain in effect with
            respect to any transactions effected prior to such termination.

8.    DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES, LIMITATION OF LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION

      8.1.  PG&E DOES NOT REPRESENT OR WARRANT THAT THE ECS OR ITS USE WILL BE
            UNINTERRUPTED OR FREE OF DEFECTS, ERRORS OR MALFUNCTIONS, OR THAT
            DEFECTS WILL BE CORRECTED, OR THAT THE ECS OR THE SERVER THAT MAKES
            IT AVAILABLE, ARE FREE OF VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS. PG&E
            DOES NOT WARRANT OR REPRESENT THAT THE USE OR THE RESULTS OF THE

<PAGE>

            USE OF THE ECS OR THE TRANSACTIONS MADE AVAILABLE AS PART OF THE ECS
            WILL BE CORRECT, ACCURATE, TIMELY OR OTHERWISE RELIABLE.

      8.2.  USER UNDERSTANDS, AND ACCEPTS THAT (i) PG&E MAKES NO WARRANTY
            WHATSOEVER TO USER REGARDING THE ECS OR ITS AVAILABILITY OR THE
            RESULTS OF USER'S USE OF THE ECS, OR REGARDING ANY INFORMATION USED
            OR ACESSED IN CONNECTION THEREWITH; AND (ii) THE ECS IS PROVIDED BY
            PG&E ON AN "AS IS" BASIS AT USER'S SOLE RISK, AND PG&E EXPRESSLY
            DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL WARRANTIES (WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR
            STATUTORY), INCLUDING THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY,
            NONINFRINGEMENT, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND SATISFACTORY
            QUALITY.

      8.3.  USER UNDERSTANDS AND AGREES THAT PG&E SHALL NOT BE LIABLE TO USER OR
            TO ANYONE BRINGING A CLAIM AS A RESULT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH
            USER'S USE OF THE ECS (OR OF ANY SOFTWARE, INFORMATION OR OTHER
            ITEMS RELATING THERETO), FOR: (i) ANY LOSSES OR DAMAGES WHATSOEVER
            INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, DIRECT, INDIRECT, SPECIAL,
            COMPENSATORY, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIOAL DAMAGES INCLUDING, BUT
            NOT LIMITED TO, LOSS OF DATA, LOSS OF BUSINESS, REVENUE OR PROFITS
            OR FAILURE TO REALIZE SAVINGS OR ANY OTHER ECONOMIC OR COMMERCIAL
            LOSS OF ANY KIND, OR (ii) ANY CLAIM OR DAMAGES RESULTING FROM A
            CLAIM AGAINST THE USER BY ANY THIRD PARTY, ARISING IN ANY WAY IN
            CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, OR USER'S USE OF THE ECS, WHETHER
            BASED IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STRICT LIABILITY,
            WARRANTY OR OTHERWISE, AND WHETHER OR NOT SUCH DAMAGES ARE
            FORESEEABLE. THE TOTAL CUMULATIVE LIABILITY OF PG&E AND THIRD-PARTY
            SOFTWARE LICENSORS UNDER OR ARISING FROM THIS AGREEMENT, IF ANY,
            SHALL IN NO EVENT EXCEED AN AMOUNT EQUAL TO THE AVERAGE CHARGE PAID
            BY USER TO PG&E FOR A SINGLE DAY'S GAS TRANSPORTATION TRANSACTIONS
            DURING THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PERIOD PRIOR TO THE DATE ON WHICH THE
            CAUSE OF ACTION AROSE, OR $10,000 (TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS), WHICHEVER
            IS THE LESSER AMOUNT.

      8.4   User shall hold harmless, protect, defend and indemnify PG&E from
            and against any and all claims, actions, demands, suits, judgments,
            damages, losses, costs, including attorneys' fees, and liabilities
            resulting from or arising out of or in connection with (i) use of or
            access to the ECS or to any software, information, data (or other
            items relating thereto) by User, or by any person obtaining access
            to the ECS through User or a User ID, whether or not User has
            authorized such access, or (ii) any breach by User of any terms or
            conditions of this Agreement, or

<PAGE>

            (iii) any act or omission, or willful misconduct, of User, its
            officers, agents or employees or any person obtaining access to the
            ECS through User (whether or not User has authorized such access) in
            the performance of this Agreement or the use of the ECS regardless
            of any negligence of PG&E, whether active or passive, or (iv) any
            actions taken or not taken by User based on its access to or use of
            the ECS.

      8.5.  As used in this Article 8, "PG&E" shall include the directors,
            officers, employees and agents of PG&E.

9.    VIRUSES

      Each party agrees to make reasonable efforts to notify the other promptly
      if there is any indication that its own computer systems, or any part
      thereof, have come into contact with any "computer virus." The term
      "computer virus" as used herein shall mean any computer software program
      or portion of a program that is foreign to the host computer system and
      has been introduced into the host computer system without the knowing
      consent of the operator of the ECS including without limitation a virus
      received over the Internet.

10.   SYSTEM OR SOFTWARE MALFUNCTIONS

      If User is notified or in any other way becomes aware of a malfunction,
      failure or stoppage of the ECS, related software, or the operation of
      either of these, User agrees to use conventional methods of communication,
      such as facsimile transmissions, to conduct the business for which the ECS
      is intended, for as long as the malfunction, failure or stoppage continues
      to exist.

11.   MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

      11.1  Force Majeure: Neither PG&E nor User shall be considered in default
            in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement, except
            obligations to make payments hereunder when due, to the extent that
            the performance of any such obligation is prevented or delayed by
            any cause, existing or future, which is beyond the reasonable
            control of the affected party. For purposes of this Agreement,
            events beyond the reasonable control of a party shall include, but
            not be limited to, failures or malfunctions of the ECS or of any
            hardware or software used in connection therewith or furnished
            pursuant to this Agreement (including third-party software and
            software owned and/or operated by PG&E).

      11.2. Assignment and Delegation: User acknowledges and agrees that PG&E
            has extended access to the ECS to User because of the specific
            business relationship between User and PG&E, and in some cases
            because of User's particular credit history. This Agreement may not
            be assigned by User without the prior written consent of PG&E.

<PAGE>

      11.3. Choice of Law: User agrees that the laws of the State of California,
            without giving effect to choice of law provisions, shall govern the
            interpretation and enforcement of this Agreement

      11.4. Dispute Resolution: Any dispute arising under or related to this
            Agreement, which dispute cannot be settled by the parties within a
            reasonable time, may be submitted by either Party to binding
            arbitration in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration
            Association. All disputes to be arbitrated shall be decided by one
            arbitrator to be appointed by the parties. If the parties fail to
            agree upon an arbitrator within thirty (30) days after written
            notice of arbitration has been given by either party to the other,
            the presiding judge of the Superior Court of the State of California
            and for the City and County of San Francisco shall appoint an
            arbitrator upon the request of either party. Venue for arbitration
            will be the City and County of San Francisco, California. The
            decision of the arbitrator shall be final and binding upon the
            parties hereto and judgment thereon may be entered in any court of
            competent jurisdiction. The cost of the arbitrator shall be borne
            equally by User and PG&E. Nothing contained in this paragraph 11.4
            shall preclude either party from seeking equitable relief or
            remedies in a court of competent jurisdiction. In reaching a
            decision herein, arbitrator shall adhere to and apply substantive
            California law. User agrees that for any violation of any provision
            of this Agreement, a restraining order and/or injunction may be
            issued against User.

      11.5. No Waiver: No waiver, by either PG&E or User, of any default by the
            other in the performance of any provision of this Agreement shall
            operate as a waiver of any continuing or future default, whether of
            a like or different character.

      11.6. Notices: Except as otherwise required by law, all notices relating
            to this Agreement, including notices of arbitration and
            notifications pursuant to Article 4.1.1, shall be in writing and
            given by means of personal delivery, facsimile transmission, or mail
            (with return receipt requested). Any notice given as stated in this
            paragraph 11.6 shall be deemed duly given as follows: upon delivery,
            if delivered personally; upon transmission, if sent by facsimile; on
            the date of receipt, if sent by mail, return receipt requested. All
