shall post the availability of storage on its electronic

bulletin board. In order for a Shipper to participate in this

open season, Shipper shall submit to El Paso a completed

Contract Storage Service Request Form in the form set forth in

Section 26.10 below.

If Shippers' requests for storage capacity exceed the firm

capacity available during the open season, such capacity shall

be allocated among the requesting Shippers on a pro-rata basis.

After the open season, El Paso will allocate all requests for

future available capacity on a first-come/first-served basis.

the storage facility which will be available under this FERC Gas

Tariff each day will be that injection and withdrawal capability

necessary for load equation, load balancing and system

management. El Paso will determine each day whether the

Washington Ranch Storage Facility is in injection or withdrawal

mode. Shippers desiring the injection or withdrawal mode

indicated by El Paso may request storage service on that day.

El Paso retains the right to limit or deny injections and

withdrawals for contract storage Shippers on any given day that

it is determined that the Washington Ranch Storage Facility is

needed by El Paso to maintain the safe and efficient operation

of its system and the reliability of its service to all Shippers.
