QUESTLINE(r) ACCESS AGREEMENT
THIS QUESTLINE(r) ACCESS AGREEMENT (Agreement) is entered into the day of
, by and between Dominion Energy Questar Pipeline, LLC (Questar), a
Utah corporation with offices at 333 South State Street, Salt Lake City, Utah 84111, and
(Shipper) a _ with offices at
. Questar and Shipper may be referred to collectively as the Parties
and singularly as a Party.
THE PARTIES AGREE AS FOLLOWS:
1. Questar has developed proprietary computer software programs and their
contents known as QuestLine(r) (QuestLine(r)) that facilitate interactive electronic contracting,
capacity release, capacity allocation, nominations, confirmations, imbalance trading, billing,
notifications, and reporting on Questar's natural gas transmission pipeline system
(Transmission System).
2. Shipper requests remote access to certain portions of QuestLine(r) and its
contents in order to transact business on Questar's Transmission System. By accessing
QuestLine(r), Shipper, including its employees and agents, agrees to be bound by all of the
terms and conditions of this Agreement, including Questar's Gas Tariff currently on file with
the Federal Regulatory Energy Commission (Tariff), which is deemed incorporated into this
Agreement by this reference. All access to and use of QuestLine(r) and its contents shall be
governed by this Agreement, including Questar's Tariff.
3. Subject to compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Questar
grants to Shipper, and Shipper accepts from Questar, a limited, non-exclusive,
nontransferable license, during the term of this Agreement, restricted to named users to
access designated portions of QuestLine(r) and its contents solely for Shipper's own internal
transportation and storage business transactions on Questar's Transmission System.
Questar reserves the right to determine what portion of QuestLine(r) shall be made available
to Shipper. Shipper's use of QuestLine(r) may be monitored and recorded. Unusual activity
that may indicate a compromised computer or account may result in immediate account
termination and further detailed investigation.
4. Shipper shall not sublicense, sell, transfer, publish, disclose, display, or
otherwise make available any part of QuestLine(r) or its contents to any third party. Shipper
shall not reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or otherwise attempt to discover the
source code or make derivative works arising out of, related to, or in connection with
QuestLine.(r)
5. Shipper shall not delete, remove, modify, or obscure any copyright, trademark,
trade name, or other proprietary notices displayed on QuestLine,(r) and shall not allow any
third party to take any such action.
6. Questar or its third party licensors solely and exclusively own all right, title, and
interest in and to QuestLine(r) and its contents, including all patents, copyrights, trade
secrets, trademarks, and other intellectual property therein.
7. Shipper expressly acknowledges that by accessing QuestLine(r) it shall be made
aware of proprietary and confidential property of Questar, its affiliates, or its licensors,
including without limitation customers, services, products, processes, operations, the
location of pipeline facilities, present and contemplated activities, as well as logon,
password, or other controlled access information (collectively Confidential Information).
Shipper shall protect the Confidential Information with at least the same degree of care it
uses to protect its own confidential information, but not less than a reasonable degree of
care. Shipper shall use the Confidential Information only for the purposes stated in this
Agreement. Shipper shall not disclose the Confidential Information to any third party,
except on a confidential basis to its employees or agents whose access is required to carry
out the purposes of this Agreement, who have been advised of the confidential nature of the
information, and who are each bound by an obligation of confidentiality, enforceable by
Shipper, to protect the Confidential Information. The confidentiality obligations of this
paragraph shall not apply to any information that is:
a. generally available to the public through no act of Shipper;
b. independently developed by Shipper without use of or reference to the
Confidential Information;
c. lawfully received from a third party without breach of this Agreement; or
d. disclosed pursuant to law, judicial order, or government regulation so long
as Shipper promptly notifies Questar prior to disclosure to provide Questar
with time to take actions necessary to protect its interests.
This paragraph shall survive termination of this Agreement.
8. Shipper shall ensure that its employees and agents shall only use the logon,
password, and other controlled access to which they have been assigned in connection with
QuestLine(r) and its contents. Upon termination of any employee or agent, or their need for
access to QuestLine,(r) Shipper shall immediately notify Questar in writing and discontinue
use of that logon and password.
9. Shipper shall immediately inform Questar by telephone at the telephone
numbers identified on its Website (www.questarpipeline.com) if Shipper learns of any
apparent breach of security, such as loss, theft, or unauthorized disclosure, use, or
possession of the Confidential Information, including without limitation Shipper's logon,
password, or other controlled access information. Shipper shall be fully responsible for any
unauthorized disclosure of QuestLine's(r) Confidential Information by its employees and
agents. Shipper shall fully cooperate with Questar in pursuing all remedies available to
Questar against unauthorized use.
10. Shipper may adjust the number of licensed users, delete licensed users, or
designate other licensed users pursuant to a written Request for User Access to QuestLine,(r)
in the form attached as Exhibit A, incorporated into this Agreement by reference, issued by
Shipper and submitted to Questar.
11. Once Shipper has executed and returned this Agreement, Questar shall provide
Shipper with logon, password, or other controlled access information. However, before
Shipper shall be allowed to transact business on QuestLine,(r) Shipper must comply with
Questar's creditworthiness requirements set out in Questar's Tariff. Shipper shall be
fully responsible and liable for all transactions conducted on QuestLine(r) using Shipper's
logon, password, or other controlled access information.
12. If Shipper desires to participate in imbalance trading procedures on QuestLine,(r)
Shipper specifically consents to Questar posting on QuestLine(r) the information regarding
Shipper's imbalances outlined in Questar's Tariff.
13. Subject to the restrictions on use and disclosure set forth in this Agreement,
Shipper may print and make a reasonable number of copies of the contents on QuestLine(r)
solely for Shipper's internal use in transacting business on QuestLine.(r) Shipper shall
reproduce and include copyright, other proprietary right, or confidential notices on and in all

documents exist and shall not retain any copies of such documents.

order to access QuestLine.(r)

PERFORMANCE OF QUESTLINE(r) AND ITS CONTENTS, INCLUDING ALL LIABILITY ARISING
FROM ACCESS TO QUESTLINE(r) THROUGH SHIPPER. THIS PARAGRAPH WILL SURVIVE

SUBSIDIARIES, OR THEIR RESPECTIVE DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, OR AGENTS,
SHALL BE LIABLE TO SHIPPER OR ANY OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY FOR ANY LOSS OR
DAMAGES OF ANY KIND ARISING OUT OF, RELATED TO, OR IN CONNECTION WITH
