FSS-M RATE SCHEDULE

FIRM STORAGE SERVICE WITH MARKET-BASED RATES (Cont'd)

6. RATE

(a) The applicable rate for service under this Rate Schedule will be a negotiated

market-based rate as provided in Shipper's FSS-M Service Agreement.

(b) From the quantities delivered into storage for Shipper, Transporter will retain the

Storage Gas Loss Retainage Percentage of gas specified in Transporter's currently effective

Tariff, unless otherwise negotiated by Transporter and Shipper, and specified in Shipper's FSS-M

Service Agreement. That percentage will be subject to adjustment in accordance with Section 35

(Retainage Adjustment Mechanism) of the General Terms and Conditions. The Storage Gas Loss

Retainage Percentage applicable to Rate Schedule FSS-M will be calculated separately in

Transporter's annual Retainage Adjustment Mechanism filings.

(c) Shipper will remain responsible for all property or other taxes associated with the

quantities held for Shipper in storage under this Rate Schedule. Transporter will periodically

report to Shipper the quantities in storage, allocated by State, to enable Shipper to calculate

and pay all taxes associated with those storage quantities. The Crawford and Weaver storage

fields, which are subject to market-based rates, will be treated conjunctively and Shipper's

storage gas will be deemed to be proportionally allocated to these storage fields based on total

working gas in storage held in capacity subject to market-based rate rates.

(d) Transporter will be responsible for any loss, cost, or expense arising from any

loss of Shipper's gas in Transporter's storage that results from Transporter's negligence or

failure to exercise due diligence. Notwithstanding the provisions in Section 22 (Possession of

Gas) of the General Terms and Conditions, Shipper will be responsible for obtaining its own

insurance for any gas in storage, and will hold Transporter harmless from any loss, cost, or

expense arising from any loss of storage gas that results from a force majeure event or that is

not the result of Transporter's negligence or failure to exercise due diligence.
