AMENDED AND RESTATED
FIRM (RATE SCHEDULE FT)
TRANSPORTATION SERVICE AGREEMENT
TSA NO.:  1006667
 
 
hereby elects to be billed on a levelized basis to the extent Transporter so
determines and such option is available under the Tariff. 
 
For the period May 1, 2012 through October 31, 2013: 
The applicable Reservation Charge component for services up to Contract Demand
(as in effect on the effective date hereof) shall be a unit rate of $0.1441 per
Dth. Shipper shall also pay the minimum applicable RS FT Base Commodity Rate for
each eligible Dth delivered under this Agreement; provided, however, any
deliveries to the Secondary Delivery Point Arcadia IP CP Del (Meter No. 822091)
shall incur a fixed incremental charge of $0.02/Dth in addition to the minimum
applicable RS FT Base Commodity Rate.
 
For the period November 1, 2013 through October 31, 2017: 
The applicable Reservation Charge component for services up to Contract Demand
(as in effect on the effective date hereof) shall be a unit rate of $0.0500 per
Dth.  In addition, if on any Day Shipper does not schedule its entire CD
quantity, then the Reservation Charge (expressed as a unit rate) for each Dth
not scheduled shall be increased by an amount calculated as follows:
               

  .65 x weighted average Daily Index Spread

             
The Index Spreads shall be calculated using the formulas set forth below based
on Daily Index Prices (“Daily Index”) (using the applicable Midpoint Prices for
spot gas delivered to the pipelines at the locations specified below for the
Day(s) of flow as published in Platts Gas Daily daily price survey).  If the
price information or the applicable publication is unavailable or ceases to be
published, the parties shall use a substitute Index price or formula as posted
on the CEGT Internet Web Site for the day or month in question.
 
For daily deliveries scheduled to all eligible Delivery Points, calculate the
applicable Daily Index Spread as follows:
 

 
Daily Index for the relevant Primary or Secondary Delivery Point (see below),
minus
  $0.09, minus   Daily Index for Oklahoma, CenterPoint, East, minus   Fuel Value
plus applicable EPC

                                                   
If on any Day, the result of the above calculation would yield a Daily Index
Spread of 0 or less, then the Daily Index Spread for that point for that Day
shall be deemed to be 0. 
   
The Fuel Value shall be calculated by multiplying the applicable fuel percentage
(the sum of applicable Fuel Use and LUFG percentages), as authorized and in
effect from time to time in Transporter’s Tariff, by the Daily Index for
Oklahoma, CenterPoint, East.
 
For purposes of calculation of the applicable Index Spreads, use the following
Daily Index Prices:
 

 • TGC Rich Core Del:  Others, Trunkline, Zone 1A  • CGT PV Core Del, SESH 42
Header Del, PTP Delivery, and Arcadia IP CP Del:  Louisiana – Onshore South,
Columbia Gulf, mainline

 
Shipper shall also pay the minimum applicable RS FT Base Commodity Rate for each
eligible Dth delivered under this Agreement.
 

  Term of Rate:     Begin Date(s): Effective Date        End Date(s): End of the
Day on October 31, 2017

  (b) Authorized Overrun:  Unless Transporter agrees otherwise, the rate for any
authorized overrun quantities shall be the greater of the maximum Tariff rate or
the applicable rate described above.         (c) General:  In consideration for
Shipper’s continuing compliance with the provisions of the Agreement, the
transportation rates and charges as defined above or on Attachment A for the
specified services provided under the Agreement only apply to receipts from, and
subsequent deliveries to, the Points of Receipt and Delivery, quantities and/or
time periods described above or on Attachment A and to reserved capacity
necessary to effect such service. In addition to any rate or amount referred to
herein (including discounted rates, Negotiated Rates, overrun rates and maximum
Tariff rates), except as specifically provided otherwise herein or on Attachment
A, Shipper shall provide or pay and Transporter shall retain or charge Fuel Use
and LUFG allowances or charges (including the EPC surcharge) in such quantities
or amounts as authorized from time to time by the Tariff and shall pay any
applicable charges, penalties, surcharges, fees, taxes, assessments and/or
direct billed amounts provided for in the Tariff.  In any event, the rate in any
Month shall never be below Transporter’s applicable minimum Tariff rate for a
discount rate transaction.  For a Negotiated Rate transaction, the rate in any
month shall never be below Transporter’s applicable minimum Tariff rate, unless
Transporter otherwise agrees.  Transporter shall not be responsible for the
payment and satisfaction of any taxes assessed or levied on the receipt,
transmission (and any activities in connection therewith), delivery, use and/or
consumption with respect to Gas delivered or received by Shipper, unless
Transporter agrees otherwise.         (d) Rate-Related Provisions:

 

(i)
 
Consideration for Rate Granted:  Transporter agrees to the rates specified
herein or on Attachment A in exchange for Shipper’s agreement to forego credits
or other benefits to which Shipper would otherwise be entitled, but only to the
extent such credits or benefits would result in a greater economic benefit over
the applicable term than that represented by the agreed-upon rate.  Accordingly,
unless Transporter otherwise agrees, Shipper will not receive credits (with the
exception of (1) penalty revenue credits provided pursuant to Section 31 of the
General Terms and Conditions of Transporter’s Tariff, and (2) capacity release
credits) from rates, refunds or other revenues collected by Transporter or
Shipper if to do so would effectively result in a lower rate or greater economic
benefit to Shipper; provided, however, that for a Shipper taking service under a
Negotiated Rate agreement, Transporter and Shipper can agree pursuant to Section
19.8 of the General Terms and Conditions of Transporter’s Tariff that
Transporter will retain some or all of the capacity release credits to the
extent those credits exceed the amount of the Shipper’s invoiced  demand 
component.  If  the  parties’ agreement to the foregoing is determined invalid
or if Shipper seeks to obtain credits or benefits inconsistent therewith, unless
Transporter otherwise agrees, it will have the right to immediately terminate or
modify any provisions herein or of Attachment A that would allow Shipper to pay
amounts less than the maximum applicable Tariff rate.

 
 

(ii)
  
Limitation on Agreed Upon Rate:  Unless Transporter agrees otherwise, if at any
time receipts and/or deliveries are initially sourced into the system,
nominated, scheduled and/or made, by any means or by operation of any Tariff
mechanisms, with respect to the capacity obtained by, through or under the
Agreement at points, or under conditions, other than those specified herein or
on Attachment A, then as of such date, and for the remainder of the Service
Month in which such non-compliance occurred, or the remainder of the term of the
Agreement, whichever is shorter, Shipper shall be obligated to pay no less than
the maximum applicable Tariff rates for service under the Agreement.  This
limitation shall not apply to the extent that Transporter has requested Shipper
to receive and/or deliver other than as specified herein or on Attachment A. 
Such request may be made via e-mail, in writing, or via Internet Web Site
posting, and the document in which such request is made shall be deemed to amend
this Agreement to the extent applicable.

 
 

(iii)
   
Regulatory Authority:  This Agreement (including Attachment A) is subject to
Section 16 of the GT&C of Transporter’s Tariff.  Transporter and Shipper hereby
acknowledge that this Agreement is subject to all valid and applicable federal
and local laws and to the orders, rules and regulations of any duly constituted
federal or local regulatory body or governmental authority having
jurisdiction.   Any provision of this Agreement which is determined by any court
or regulatory body having jurisdiction to

AMENDED AND RESTATED
FIRM (RATE SCHEDULE FT)
TRANSPORTATION SERVICE AGREEMENT
TSA NO.:  1006667
 
 
 

  be invalid or unenforceable will be ineffective to the extent of such
determination only, without invalidating, or otherwise affecting the validity
of, the remaining provisions.  Unless the parties agree otherwise, if
Transporter has made a good faith determination that a federal or local law, or
order, rule or regulation of any governmental authority having or asserting
jurisdiction (1) requires performance by Transporter that is inconsistent with
the terms specified herein or on Attachment A, or (2) conditions or prohibits
the granting of selective discounts or other rates specified herein or on
Attachment A, then Transporter may provide notice that it intends to renegotiate
the rates under the Agreement.  If the parties fail to reach agreement within
forty-five (45) days of any renegotiation notice given pursuant to the terms of
this paragraph, then:  (1) the rate provisions herein or on Attachment A shall
be terminated, and the rate for service herein or under Attachment A shall be
Transporter’s applicable maximum Tariff rate, or (2) if Transporter’s applicable
maximum Tariff rate is greater than the rate for service herein or on Attachment
A, at the Shipper’s option, the Agreement and any applicable  Attachment A shall
terminate.  The effective date of this renegotiation or termination shall be the
first day of the month following the end of the 45-day renegotiation period;
provided, however, that the effective date will comply with the requirements of
the applicable federal or local law, or order, rule or regulation of any
governmental authority having or asserting jurisdiction.

 
(iv)
 
 
Entire Agreement:  Attachment A, if applicable, shall supplement the Agreement
with respect to the matters agreed to, and together shall constitute the entire
understanding of the parties relating to said matters as of the effective date
stated therein.  Unless otherwise specified, all prior agreements,
correspondence, understandings and representations are hereby superseded and
replaced by Attachment A and the Agreement.  Except as otherwise provided
herein, all terms used herein with initial capital letters are so used with the
respective meanings ascribed to them in Transporter’s Tariff.

 
 

(v)
   
Failure to Exercise Rights:  Failure to exercise any right under Attachment A,
if applicable, or the Agreement shall not be considered a waiver of such right
in the future.  No waiver of any default in the performance of Attachment A or
the Agreement shall be construed as a waiver of any other existing or future
default, whether of a like or different character.

 
 
(e)
Inability to Collect Negotiated Rates:  If this Agreement covers a Negotiated
Rate transaction, and Transporter is unable to collect Negotiated Rates due to a
change in Commission policy or rejection of the transaction by the Commission
prior to or during the term of such transaction, then, unless the parties agree
otherwise, Shipper shall pay the maximum Tariff rate for the services.  In such
event, Transporter shall notify Shipper in writing of the requirement to pay
maximum Tariff rates and, if the maximum Tariff rates are greater than the
Negotiated Rates under such transaction, Shipper shall have no more than thirty
(30) days from the date of such notification to give notice in writing of
termination of the applicable Agreement, with such termination to be effective
no earlier than the end of the Month following the Month in which such
termination notice is received.

 
 

5) OTHER PROVISIONS:

  

  5.1)

14 of the GT&C of Transporter’s Tariff.  Amounts past due hereunder shall bear
interest as provided in Section 14 of the GT&C of the Tariff.  Shipper shall pay

effect unilateral changes or modifications in the rates and charges, and other
terms and conditions of service hereunder, and as set forth in said Rate
Schedule and in said GT&C of Transporter’s Tariff, in accordance with the
Natural Gas Act or other applicable law.  Nothing contained in the foregoing
provision shall preclude or prevent Shipper from protesting any such changes or
modifications; however, Shipper agrees to pay all rates and charges, and to
comply with all terms and conditions, in effect under the Tariff.

 
 

3.
Upon Shipper’s failure to pay when due all or any part of amounts billed in
connection with services rendered or to comply with the terms of this Agreement,
Transporter may terminate this Agreement and/or suspend service, as appropriate,
in accordance with the provisions of Section 14 of the GT&C of Transporter’s
Tariff. 

 
 

4.
In accordance with Section 21.1 of the GT&C of Transporter’s Tariff, upon
termination hereof for whatever reason, Shipper agrees to stop delivering gas to
Transporter for service and, unless otherwise agreed by Transporter, to seek no
further service from Transporter hereunder.  Shipper agrees to cooperate with
and assist Transporter in obtaining such regulatory approvals and
authorizations, if any, as are necessary or appropriate in view of such
termination and abandonment of service hereunder.

 
 

5.
In accordance with Section 5.7(e) of the GT&C of Transporter’s Tariff,
termination of this Agreement shall not relieve either party of any obligation
that might otherwise exist to cash-out or correct any Imbalance hereunder nor
relieve Shipper of its obligation to pay any monies due hereunder to Transporter
and any portions of this Agreement necessary to accomplish such purposes shall
be deemed to survive for the time and to the extent required.

 
6.
In accordance with Sections 2.1 and 2.2 of Rate Schedule FT of Transporter’s
Tariff, subject to the provisions of the Tariff and this Agreement, Transporter
shall receive, transport, and deliver, for the account of Shipper for the
purposes contemplated herein, on a firm basis a quantity of Gas up to the
quantity or quantities specified in  the Agreement.

 
 

7.
In accordance with Sections 2.1 and 3.3 of Rate Schedule FT of Transporter’s
Tariff, Gas shall be (i) tendered to Transporter for transportation hereunder at
the Point(s) of Receipt and (ii) delivered by Transporter after transportation
to Shipper, or for Shipper’s account, at the Point(s) of Delivery on the terms
and at the points shown in this Agreement.  Subject to the provisions of the
Tariff, Transporter shall tender for delivery quantities of Gas
thermally-equivalent to those delivered by Shipper, less, as applicable, Fuel

others by use of any capacity contracted for under the Agreement, without
Transporter’s prior written consent.  In addition to all other rights and
remedies, Transporter may terminate the Agreement immediately if it is assigned
by Shipper or if Shipper subcontracts the capacity to others contrary to the
provisions hereof, whether the assignment or contract be voluntary, or by
operation of law or otherwise.  Subject to the above, the respective rights and
obligations of the parties under the Agreement shall extend to and be binding
upon their heirs, successors, assigns and legal representatives.  Shipper may
request that Transporter consent to Shipper’s assignment of this Agreement to an
entity with which Shipper is affiliated subject to the assignee’s satisfaction
of the criteria in Section 14 of the GT&C of Transporter’s Tariff, in the
situation in which, after Shipper obtains the Agreement, a corporate
reorganization results in a transfer to an affiliate of the function for which
the capacity was obtained.  Any person which shall succeed by purchase, merger
or consolidation to the properties, substantially as an entirety, of either
party hereto, shall be entitled to the rights and shall be subject to the
obligations of its predecessor in title under this Agreement; and either party
may assign or pledge this Agreement under the provisions of any mortgage, deed
of trust, indenture, bank credit agreement, assignment or similar instrument

designate by written notice to the other.  Additionally, notices shall be
considered as having been given, if received, when sent via facsimile or through
electronic data interchange.
