GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
                           (Continued)
   
         6.6 If no bids are received and the existing Customer
     is willing to pay the maximum rate, the existing Customer
     will be entitled to continue to receive service for whatever
     term it chooses.  However, due to the operational
     constraints of the Clear Creek storage facility, that term
     may not be less than one year.  At the end of the term, the
     existing Customer will again have the right of first refusal
     to retain the capacity.  Any Customer that acquires
     available capacity according to this section will not be
     required to repeat the bidding procedures outlined in
     Section 4.6 of this tariff.
   
     7.    Creditworthiness
   
         7.1  Clear Creek shall not be required to perform
     Storage Service  for a Customer who is, or has become,
     insolvent; or who, at Clear Creeks request, fails within a
     reasonable period to demonstrate creditworthiness.  Clear
     Creek shall apply consistent, non-discriminatory evaluation
     practices to determine the acceptability of the Customers
     overall financial condition, working capital and
     profitability trends.
   
         7.2  Customers creditworthiness may be shown by the
     following criteria:
   
             (1) Customer shall provide (i) current audited
     financial statements, annual reports, 10-K reports or other
     filings with regulatory agencies; (ii) a list of all
     corporate affiliates, parent companies and subsidiaries; and
     (iii) any available reports from credit reporting agencies.
   
             (2) Customer must provide a bank reference and at
     least two trade references.  The results of reference checks
     and any credit reports must show that Customers obligations
     are being paid on a prompt basis.
   
             (3) Customer must confirm in writing that it is
     not operating under any chapter of bankruptcy laws and must
     not be subject to liquidation or debt reduction procedures,
     such as an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or any
     informal creditors committee assignment.  An exception may
     be made for a Customer who is a debtor in possession
     operating under Chapter XI of the Federal Bankruptcy Act,
     but only with adequate assurances that billings will be paid
     promptly as a cost of administration under the federal
     courts jurisdiction.
