1.2   In each year of the term of this Storage Agreement, Shipper may elect to retain a portion of its Stored Volume as carry-over volume (Carry-over Volume) to be left in storage during the succeeding Injection Period as set forth herein and withdrawn in the succeeding Withdrawal Period as set forth herein. Shipper may so retain up to 20% of its Maximum Stored Quantity for such carry-over without penalty. In the event the retained Carry-over Volume exceeds 20% of its Maximum Stored Quantity, Shipper will be subject to an additional percentage retention of Gas as set forth in Section 1.3. The sum of the Carry-over Volume and the volumes delivered by Shipper for storage during any period shall not exceed Shipper's Maximum Stored Quantity set forth in Section 1.1 of this Storage Agreement.

1.3   Shipper agrees to furnish, in addition to volumes delivered into storage, a volume of Gas equal to the percentage set out in effective Tariff Sheet No. 14 of such volumes delivered for injection into storage in each year of the term hereof to be retained by Panhandle for use of compressor fuel, plus an additional volume of Gas equal to the percentage set out in effective Tariff Sheet No. 14 of volumes delivered to Shipper in each year of the term hereof to be retained by Panhandle for use as compressor fuel. No compressor fuel need be furnished for volumes carried over from any Withdrawal Period as set forth herein unless Shipper retains more than 20% of its Maximum Stored Quantity in any year as Carry-over Volumes. In such event, pursuant to Section 1.2, such Carry-over Volumes in excess of 20% of Shipper's Maximum Stored Quantity shall be subject to a .25% additional compressor fuel retention by Panhandle.

1.4   Panhandle shall receive from Shipper and inject into storage each Month during the Injection Period as set forth herein, Gas as nominated pursuant to the General Terms and Conditions.

1.5   Where Shipper has designated as the WS point a point not located on Panhandle's system, then the maximum quantities for injection and withdrawal on any Day shall be subject to any restrictions or other limitations applicable to the lease or agreement between Panhandle and the owner or operator of the storage facility, in addition to the restrictions and limitations of agreement and Rate Schedule FS.

ARTICLE 2
BILLING AND PAYMENT

For the services provided or contracted for hereunder, Shipper agrees to pay Panhandle the then-effective, applicable rates and charges under Panhandle's Rate Schedule FS filed with the Commission, as such rates and charges and Rate Schedule FS may hereafter be modified, supplemented, superseded, or replaced generally or as to the service hereunder.

From time to time Panhandle and Shipper may agree in writing, on a level of discount of the otherwise applicable rates and charges hereunder, pursuant to the effective applicable provisions of Rate Schedule FS and subject to the Regulations and Orders of the Commission. For example, Panhandle and Shipper may agree that a specified discounted rate shall apply: (a) only to certain Quantities under this Agreement; (b) only if specified Quantity levels are actually achieved or only with respect to Quantities below a specified level; (c) only during specified time periods; or (d) in a specified relationship to the Quantities actually injected, withdrawn or stored (i.e., that the rates shall be adjusted in a specified relationship to Quantities actually injected, withdrawn or stored); provided, however, that any such discounted rate set forth above shall be between the Maximum Rate and Minimum Rate applicable to the service provided under this Agreement. Any discount(s) shall be effective only on a prospective basis and as specified in the written agreement between Panhandle and Shipper.
