FOOTNOTES 

1)  This notification supersedes all previous Notices of Available and Potentially Available Capacity and is subject to change at any time.

2) Other receipt and delivery points utilizing the described 
    transportation corridor may be available. 

3)  Potential Availability date for the Capacity. 

4)  Contracts shall include the following subordinate scheduling 
    provision if the requested term extends into a critical operational 
    period: 

To the extent Shipper's nominated volumes are not scheduled solely 
due to Shipper's subordinate scheduling priorities set forth below, 
the monthly base reservation charge will be discounted to $0.00 per 
Dth for that quantity only. 

Section 14.1(c)(i) of Northwest's tariff is modified to condition 
Shipper's primary corridor rights through any mainline constraint 
from the Sand Springs receipt point to the Ignacio Bondad (or 
LaPlata-TW) delivery point(s) to have a scheduling priority which 
will be subordinate to the scheduling priority for any firm shipper 
with primary corridor rights that encompass and extend beyond the 
Sand Springs to Ignacio Bondad (or LaPlata-TW) corridor. 

5)Available for TF-1 or TF-2 transportation service.  TF-2 service  will not be discounted below Northwest's current Tariff filed rate  for TF-2 service.  Additionally, TF2 service must be linked to          requester's designated storage contract or storage ownership  right. TF-2 service shall include the following subordinate  scheduling priority language:

Section 14.1(d)(i) of Northwest's tariff is modified to condition 
Shipper's primary corridor rights from the Jackson Prairie receipt 
point to the _____________ delivery point to have a scheduling 
priority at any northflow constraint point in that corridor that is 
subordinate to the scheduling priority for any firm service with 
unconditioned primary corridor rights through such constraint point. 

6)    Available for TF-2 transportation service only. TF-2 service will    not be discounted below Northwest's current Tariff filed rate for    TF-2 service.  Additionally, TF2 service must be linked to           requester's designated storage contract or storage ownership  right.  TF-2 service shall include the following subordinate scheduling priority language:

Section 14.1(d)(i) of Northwest's tariff is modified to condition 
Shipper's primary corridor rights from the Jackson Prairie receipt 
point to the _____________ delivery point to have a scheduling 
priority at any southflow constraint point in that corridor that is 
subordinate to the scheduling priority for any firm service with 
unconditioned primary corridor rights through such constraint point. 

7)    Capacity is not to exceed a one month primary term with evergreen   language.  Any offers with terms greater than one month will need to    be evaluated for possible seasonal flow conditions that may restrict  the available capacity beyond a one month term.

8)    This capacity is currently under contract with an evergreen clause.    This capacity can be made available by providing one business day    written termination notification to the current holder of the        capacity.  This means that termination notification must be received

no later than 5:00 p.m. Mountain Current Time, 24 hours (1 business 
day) prior to the effective date of the contract termination. 

9)    This capacity is currently under contract with an evergreen clause. 
   This capacity can be made available by providing ten business days 
prior written termination notification to the current holder of the

day prior to the beginning of the next month.
