                 satisfactory assurance of payment is made in accord with
                 Section 16 of Transporter's General Terms and Conditions.

                             ARTICLE XI - REGULATION

      11.1       This Agreement shall be subject to all applicable governmental
                 statutes, orders, rules, and regulations and is contingent upon
                 the receipt and continuation of all necessary regulatory
                 approvals or authorizations upon terms acceptable to
                 Transporter and Shipper. This Agreement shall be void and of no
                 force and effect if any necessary regulatory approval or

                 hereto shall cooperate to obtain or continue all necessary
                 approvals or authorizations, but no Party shall be liable to
                 any other Party for failure to obtain or continue such
                 approvals or authorizations.

      11.2       Promptly following the execution of this Agreement, the Parties
                 will file, or cause to be filed, and diligently prosecute, any
                 necessary applications or notices with all necessary regulatory
                 bodies for approval of the service provided for herein.

      11.3       In the event the Parties are unable to obtain all necessary and
                 satisfactory regulatory approvals for service prior to the
                 expiration of two (2) years from the effective date hereof,
                 then, prior to receipt of such regulatory approvals, either
                 Party may terminate this Agreement by giving the other Party at
                 least thirty (30) days prior written notice, and the respective
                 obligations hereunder, except for the reimbursement of filing
                 fees herein, shall be of no force and effect from and after the
                 effective date of such termination.

      11.4       The transportation service described herein shall be provided
                 subject to the provisions of the FERC Regulations shown by
                 Shipper on Exhibit A hereto.
