utility system and requested deliveries of Contract Quantities of LNG under Transaction

received from Seller. Buyer will pay liquidated damages pursuant to the Transaction

Substitute Exhibit No. 2
Case INT-G- 13-02
Intermountain Gas Company
Page 8 of 20

all other terms and conditions of the original delivery shall remain in force per the
Transaction Confirmation unless otherwise agreed to by the parties.
5.2.3. All requested and scheduled Delivery Dates shall be on a Business Day unless otherwise
agreed by Seller in its sole discretion. In the event Seller agrees to Delivery Dates on a

(a)A minimum capacity of 6,000 gallons and, unless otherwise agreed to, a
maximum of 11,000 gallons,
(b)A total size including length and width that does not exceed Seller's
measurement facility,
(c)At time of loading, the tank pressure shall be such that Seller is able to deliver
the Contract Quantity of LNG;
(d)Pre-cooled tank to at least minus 240 O Fahrenheit;
(e)Previous cargo shall have been LNG, as demonstrated in writing, or
documentation shall be provided certifying that an inert purge followed by

applicable federal, state and local laws and regulations.
5.3. Seller shall have the right to reject to fill any Delivery Vehicle if, in Seller's sole opinion, Buyer's
Delivery Vehicle fails to satisfy any of the conditions in Section 5.2.4.
5.4. Buyer's failure to adhere to the Loading Schedule after final confirmation with respect to the day
and/or time of day as provided herein will cancel the Seller's obligation to deliver that load on
that calendar. Any Delivery Vehicle that without notice arrives at the Delivery Point more than
ninety (90) minutes after the scheduled time of day or after normal business hours when an after-
hours delivery has not previously been confirmed by Seller shall be considered a failure to adhere
to the Loading Schedule. Seller agrees to use reasonable efforts to reschedule a failed delivery
when Buyer provides adequate notice provided that any such rescheduled load does not interfere
with any other scheduled loads or other planned or unplanned operations at Seller's facility. Any
waiver by Seller of the Loading Schedule time requirement, including re-scheduling an alternate
or make-up loading time will be at the sole discretion of Seller.

hereafter imposed or assessed (but exclusive of taxes based upon the net income to Seller or
Buyer) by any municipal, state, or federal government or agency with respect to the LNG

provision shall not apply to the production, transportation, or delivery of natural gas (or to any of
its components or constituents) levied or assessed prior to the commencement of the liquefaction

Substitute Exhibit No. 2
Case 1NT-G-13-02
Intermountain Gas Company
Page 11 of 20

fees, unless collection and payment is required by law or regulation from Seller and, in such case,
the prior sentence shall control.

such force majeure in writing or by facsimile or electronic mail to the other party within a
reasonable time after the force majeure event, then the party giving notice, as long as, so far as
and to the extent that its obligations are affected by such force maj cure, shall be exempt from its
obligation to the other to that extent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither Buyer nor Seller
shall be excused from obligations existing at the date of such notice of force majeure, including
Buyer's obligation to pay sums owing, including sums owing for LNG delivered prior to such
notice of force maj cure. The cause of such inability shall insofar as possible, using commercially
reasonable efforts, be remedied within a reasonable time and performance resumed.

cause, whether of the kind enumerated herein or otherwise, not reasonably within the control of
the party claiming force majeure; such term shall likewise include:
10.2.1. those instances where the sale of LNG hereunder shall be deemed a regulated transaction

performance or renders either Party unable to carry out its obligations hereunder;
10.2.2. those instances where either Party is required to obtain servitudes, rights of way, grants,
permits or licenses to enable such Party to fulfill its obligations hereunder, and the Party
is unable to acquire, or is delayed in acquiring, the servitudes, rights of way, grants,
permits or licenses, on terms deemed reasonable by the Party; and
10.2.3. those instances where either Party is required to secure permits or permissions from any
governmental agency to enable such Party to fulfill its obligations hereunder, and the
Party is unable to acquire, or is delaying in acquiring, the permits and permissions on
terms deemed reasonable by the Party.

10.3. It is understood and agreed that the settlement of strikes or lockouts shall be entirely within the
discretion of the Party having the difficulty, and that the above requirement that any force
