            SECTION 8.2. NO FIDUCIARY DUTIES. The parties hereto shall not have
any fiduciary obligations or duties to the other parties by reason of this
Agreement. Subject to the Omnibus Agreement among EECI, the MLP, Enbridge and

notice, insofar as they are affected by the force majeure, shall be suspended
during, but no longer than the continuance of, the force majeure. The affected
party shall use all reasonable diligence to remove or remedy the force majeure
situation as quickly as practicable.
