OPTIONAL EXHIBIT C
to the
TRANSPORTATION SERVICE AGREEMENT
between EQUITRANS, L.P.
and
EQT ENERGY LLC,
pursuant to Rate Schedule FTS
Contract No. CW2270458-852 Dated 9/24/2014

This Exhibit C is dated 04/1/2019.
Any previously executed Exhibit C under this Agreement is terminated and is no
longer in effect.

Negotiated Rate Agreement
1.
In accordance with Section 6.30 of the General Terms and Conditions of
Equitrans’ Tariff, Equitrans and Customer agree that the following negotiated
rate provisions will apply under the Agreement:

Rates Effective April 1, 2019 through June 30, 2023
 
 
Monthly Reservation Rate
9.133 per Dth
Commodity Rate
$0.00 per Dth
Authorized Overrun Rate
$0.25 per Dth
Customer shall pay the applicable FERC ACA surcharge.
 
 
 
 
Rates Effective July 1, 2023 through August 31, 2023
 
 
Monthly Reservation Rate
$8.782 per MDQ
Commodity Rate
$0.00 per Dth
Authorized Overrun Rate
$0.25 per Dth
Customer shall pay the applicable FERC ACA surcharge.
 
 
 
 
Rates Effective September 1, 2023 through October 31, 2024
 
 
Monthly Reservation Rate
$7.604 per MDQ
Commodity Rate
$0.00 per Dth
Authorized Overrun Rate
$0.25 per Dth
Customer shall pay the applicable FERC ACA surcharge.
 
 

        

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In addition, Customer shall pay the fuel usage, lost and unaccounted for gas
percentage retainage factor to recover actual fuel usage, lost and unaccounted
for gas based on the following calculation.  Equitrans will initially retain
0.42% of Customer’s nominated receipts volumes to recover fuel, lost and
unaccounted for gas.  Equitrans will track the actual experienced fuel and lost
and unaccounted for gas experienced to provide transportation service on the
Mainline System.  Equitrans will account for the under or over recovered fuel
and lost and unaccounted for gas associated with this Agreement in FERC Account
186.  Beginning with the Effective Date, Equitrans shall adjust the Retainage
Factor from time to time, but at least on an annual basis, to more accurately
reflect actual experienced fuel and lost and unaccounted for gas; however, in no
event will the Retainage Factor be less than zero.  Equitrans shall file with
the Commission for approval to adjust the Retainage Factor to reflect changes in
the actual experienced fuel and unaccounted for gas on the Mainline System.  The
resulting Retainage Factor shall be effective until the effective date of
Equitrans’ next succeeding filing to update the Retainage Factor for this
Agreement.

The retainage rates to recover actual fuel and lost and unaccounted for gas will
only apply to nominations to off-system interstate pipeline interconnects. Any
nominations to other points will be subject to the posted Tariff Retainage Rates
and the Pipeline Safety Cost Rate.

Shipper shall also be subject to any FERC mandated surcharges, imposed by FERC
on an industry wide and generally applicable basis to shippers on interstate
pipelines. Transporter shall assess the impact of any such FERC proposed
surcharge on its Shippers and use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize
the application or impact of such surcharge on Transporter’s Shippers, provided
that such efforts by Transporter shall not include any obligation on or risk to
Transporter of cost responsibility for such surcharge.

Except as expressly stated herein, Equitrans’ applicable maximum rates and
charges set forth in the Statement of Rates of its Tariff continue to apply.

2. Customer acknowledges that it is electing Negotiated Rates as an alternative
to the rates and charges set forth in the Statement of Rates of Equitrans’
Tariff applicable to Rate Schedule FTS, as revised from time to time.

3. This Exhibit C is effective 4/1/2019 and continues in effect through
10/31/2024.

4. In the event any provision of this Exhibit C is held to be invalid, illegal
or unenforceable by any court, regulatory agency, or tribunal of competent
jurisdiction, the validity, legality, and enforceability of the remaining
provisions, terms or conditions shall not in any way be affected or impaired
thereby, and the term, condition, or provision which is held illegal or invalid
shall be deemed modified to conform to such rule of law, but only for the period
of time such order, rule, regulation, or law is in effect.

5. Other Special Provisions:

None.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Customer and Equitrans have executed this Exhibit C by their
duly authorized officers, effective as of the date indicated above.
