           Authorized Reductions
           ---------------------

           In the event that Northern has allocated storage injections during the Withdrawal
           Period, FDD Shippers shall be allowed to reduce scheduled firm withdrawal quantities
           during the last nomination cycle of the Gas Day by an amount up to a quantity equal
           to the aggregate Daily Maximum Injection FDQ during the Withdrawal Period as shown
           on Sheet No. 135B. In the event that the difference between the total firm
           withdrawal quantity nominated during the last nomination cycle compared to the total
           firm withdrawal quantity scheduled as the FDD Shipper's daily firm withdrawal rights
           during the previous cycle is greater than the quantity equal to the aggregate Daily
           Maximum Injection FDQ, Northern shall allocate the firm reductions pro-rata.

           In the event that Northern has allocated storage withdrawals during the Injection
           Period, FDD Shippers shall be allowed to reduce scheduled firm injection quantities
           during the last nomination cycle of the Gas Day by an amount up to a quantity equal
           to the aggregate Daily Maximum Withdrawal FDQ during the Injection Period as shown
           on Sheet No. 135B. In the event that the difference between the total firm
           injection quantity nominated during the last nomination cycle compared to the total
           firm injection quantity scheduled as the FDD Shipper's daily firm injection rights
           during the previous cycle is greater than the quantity equal to the aggregate Daily
           Maximum Withdrawal FDQ, Northern shall allocate the firm reductions pro-rata.

  4.  INTERRUPTION OF SERVICE
      -----------------------

      Firm service under this Rate Schedule shall have the highest scheduling priority of
      Northern's storage services.  In addition, service under this Rate Schedule shall be
      subject to interruption under the terms of the upstream or downstream Firm or
      Interruptible Throughput Service Agreement(s).  Any limitations imposed by such
      Throughput Service Agreements shall have precedence over Shipper's rights to service
      herein.

      In the event that Northern is required to allocate capacity on its system, service
      under this Rate Schedule may be constrained by the allocation of capacity to the
      applicable Transportation Service Agreement.

  5.  OFFERING OF SERVICE
     -------------------

      Available FDD capacity will be posted on Northern's Internet website. Northern shall
      accept requests for service under this Rate Schedule for FDD quantities available.  Such
      requests must contain information required to initiate service as defined in Section 27,
      "Information Required for a Request for Service," of the "GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS" of
      this Tariff.  Priority for service shall be based on the price and term offered by the
      Shipper.  For the purposes of allocating capacity, Shippers willing to pay more than the
      maximum tariff rate will be considered to be paying the maximum tariff rate.  Northern,
      upon receiving such requests including all information required to initiate service, shall
      notify Shipper of the quantity of FDD capacity available and any inability to provide the
      service requested.  Any allocations required as a result of receiving matching offers will
      be on a pro rata basis.
