FT RATE SCHEDULE

FIRM TRANSPORTATION SERVICE

4.5 Notwithstanding any provision of Transporter's effective FERC Gas

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 differing rates, rate

components, charges or credits ("Negotiated Rates") then the

Negotiated Rate(s) shall be effective only for the period agreed upon

by Transporter. During such period, the Negotiated Rate shall govern

and apply to the Shipper's service and the otherwise applicable rate,

rate component, charge or credit, which the parties have agreed to

replace with the Negotiated Rate, 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. Only those rates, rate components, charges or credits

identified by Transporter and Shipper in writing as being superseded

by a Negotiated Rate shall be ineffective during the period that the

Negotiated Rate is effective; all other rates, rate components,

charges or credits prescribed, required, established or imposed by

this Rate Schedule or Transporter's Tariff shall remain in effect.

Transporter shall make any filings at the FERC necessary to

effectuate a Negotiated Rate.
