RATE SCHEDULE NSS

-----------------

(e) Shipper is not required to have firm transportation

service for delivery of gas to storage or the transportation of gas

away from storage in order to have firm storage service under this

Rate Schedule NSS. However, injections and withdrawals under this

Rate Schedule NSS will be dependent on any necessary transportation

being confirmed by Natural and shall be subject to the scheduling

and curtailment of such transportation pursuant to the provisions

of this Tariff. Storage points hereunder shall be treated as in-

the-path to the extent provided in Section 7(b) of this Rate

Schedule NSS and Section 5.6 of the General Terms and Conditions of

this Tariff.

(f) Allocation of capacity, curtailment, and priorities of

service for the purposes of scheduling and curtailment shall all be

governed by the General Terms and Conditions of this Tariff.

(g) Shipper may release capacity dedicated to service

hereunder pursuant to Natural's Capacity Release Program to the

extent permitted by, and subject to the terms and conditions

contained in, the General Terms and Conditions of this Tariff. A

Shipper releasing a portion of its rights under an NSS Agreement

may designate how inventory is to be allocated among itself and the

replacement Shippers; provided, however, that the resulting

inventory cannot, absent express agreement by Natural, exceed any

Shipper's MSV under the resulting Agreements (i.e., the MSV

calculated in reference to the MDQ under any replacement Agreement

for any inventory designated to go to such replacement Agreement

and the MSV calculated in reference to the MDQ not released under

the original Agreement for any inventory designated to remain with

the Original Shipper) nor may a release result in any Shipper or

all Shippers in the aggregate (Original and replacement) having

rights in excess of those available prior to any release on a firm

basis to the releasing Shipper under this Tariff and the NSS

Agreement.
