RATE SCHEDULE FT (Continued)
3.5 Notwithstanding any provision of Transporter's Tariff to the
contrary, Transporter and Shipper may mutually agree in writing to rates, rate
components, charges, or credits for service under this Rate Schedule that
differ from those rates, rate components, charges, or credits that are
otherwise prescribed, required, established or imposed by this Rate Schedule
or by any other applicable provision of Transporter's effective FERC Gas
Tariff. If Transporter agrees to such negotiated rate(s), then such negotiated
rate(s) shall be set forth in the Gas Transportation Contract and shall be
effective only for the period agreed upon by Transporter. During such period,
the negotiated rate(s) shall govern and apply to the Shipper's service and the
otherwise applicable rate, rate component, charge, or credit (i.e., any
reduction in rates which might otherwise apply) which the parties have agreed
to replace with the negotiated rate(s), shall not apply to, or be available
to, the Shipper. At the end of such period, the otherwise applicable maximum
rates or charges shall govern the service provided to Shipper, unless
otherwise agreed by Transporter and Shipper. Only those rates, rate
components, charges, or credits identified by Transporter and Shipper in
writing as being superseded by a negotiated rate(s) shall be ineffective
during the period that the negotiated rate is effective; all other rates, rate
components, charges, or credits (i.e., any reduction in rates which might
otherwise apply) prescribed, required, established for service under this Rate
Schedule, shall remain in effect. Transporter shall file with the Commission
pursuant to its current policies and/or regulations tariff sheets describing
the services being provided pursuant to this Section 3.5. All services
provided hereunder are available to all similarly situated Shippers on a non-
discriminatory basis.

3.6(c) below, the total revenue PNGTS collects for rendering jurisdictional
services is in excess of twice the annual cost of service applicable for such
period, as established in the resolution of Company's last NGA Section 4
general rate case (such difference constituting the "Excess Revenues"), then a
Short Term Service Revenue Credit calculated pursuant to Subsection 3.6(b)
below shall be credited by Company.
(b) Long Term FT Shippers may receive the Short Term Service Revenue
Credit when such current Long Term FT Shipper has paid Company the Rate
Schedule Long Term FT Maximum Recourse Reservation Charges in accordance with
Section 15.2 of the General Terms and Conditions of PNGTS' FERC Gas Tariff
during the Fiscal Period used to calculate the Short Term Service Revenue
Credit. The Short Term Service Revenue Credit shall be 75% of the Excess
Revenues received during an applicable Fiscal Period. No later than seventy
(70) days from the end of each Fiscal Period, the Short Term Service Revenue
Credit shall be reflected, in proportion to the Rate Schedule FT Long Term
