Note 1:   The point role will be either PR for physical receipts,
          RD  for  receipt by displacement, TP for transfer ints,  PD
          for   physical   deliveries,  and  DD   for   delivery   by
          displacement.

Note 2:   Should  nominations  at  secondary  receipt  and  delivery
          points   be   received  which  exceed  available  capacity,
          volumes  will  be  scheduled in  accordance  with  Northern
          Border's nomination and scheduling procedures.

Note 3:   For receipt or delivery of gas by displacement, Company
          cannot  and  does  not  have  an obligation  to  physically
          deliver  or  receive gas at these points. Volumes  will  be
          delivered or received at these point(s) only to the  extent
          that  corresponding equal or greater volumes  are  received
          or  delivered by other parties at these points on the  same
          day.   These corresponding volumes will be used to displace
          volumes nominated for delivery or receipt by Shipper.

Note 4:   Gas volumes which are nominated/scheduled  at a sub
          primary receipt  or  delivery point(s) have  priority
          over  gas  volumes  of   shipper utilizing  such  point
          on  a  corresponding  basis  as   a secondary receipt
          or delivery point.  Shipper's rights  and obligations
          regarding the use of sub  primary  points  are governed
          by  Subsection  17.1 of  the  General  Terms  and Conditions
          of the Tariff.
