July 30, 2008, the maximum rate ceiling does not apply to such releases provided the
release is for a term of one year or less and the release is to take effect on or

applicable capacity release award posted on Pine Needle's EBB multiplied by the
quantity vaporized each day (up to Customer's TCQ); provided, however, Customer's
monthly bill may be subject to adjustment to account for any minimum volumetric
commitment specified in such capacity release award.

gas to be retained by Pine Needle. Such percentage is specified on the currently
