Roanoke Gas Company
519 Kimball Avenue, N.E.
Roanoke, VA 24016

Attention: Mike Gagnet
RE:    Discounted Rate Agreement
Rate Schedule FT-A Service Package No. 24376

Dear Mike:
In response to the request of Roanoke Gas Company ("Roanoke") and pursuant to
Section 5.1 of Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company, L.L.C.'s ("Tennessee") Rate
Schedule FT-A, Tennessee hereby agrees to adjust its then applicable Rate
Schedule FT-A transportation rates for service provided under the
above-referenced gas transportation agreement as follows:

1.
a)    If Roanoke attempts to apply this Discounted Rate Agreement to any volumes
and/or to any points not eligible for the discount and thereby fails to pay
correctly invoiced and undisputed amounts, then, if such failure is not cured
within thirty days of provision of notice by Tennessee to Roanoke of such
failure, Tennessee shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to immediately
terminate this Discounted Rate Agreement with Roanoke and/or to assess, from the
date of such violation of the terms of this Discounted Rate Agreement, the
applicable maximum rate on all transactions occurring under the Service Package
for the month(s) in which such limits were exceeded.

b)
For the period commencing November 1, 2019, and extending through October 31,
2022, for gas delivered by Tennessee on behalf of Roanoke to any Zone U1delivery
meter under the above referenced gas transportation agreement, the applicable
Rate Schedule FT-A rates for volumes received by Tennessee from any Zone L/1
meter will be:

i)
A monthly reservation rate equal to the lesser of (i) $3.9542 per Dth, or (ii)
Tennessee's maximum applicable monthly reservation rate.

ii)
A daily commodity rate of Tennessee's maximum applicable commodity rate.

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

c)
These rates apply to all secondary receipts and deliveries in the paths and
zones described above. In addition, Shipper shall also pay ACA , applicable Fuel
and Loss Retention (F&LR) and Electric Power Cost Recovery (EPCR) charges and
all applicable surcharges specified in Tennessee's FERC Gas Tariff, as may be in
effect from time to time (''Tariff').

d)
Receipts from and/or deliveries to points other than those listed above during
the term of this Discounted Rate Agreement shall result in Roanoke being
assessed Tennessee's maximum reservation rate under Rate Schedule FT-A for the
primary path divided by the number of days in the month for the entire gas
transportation agreement TQ on the day(s) of such deliveries and Tennessee's
maximum daily commodity rates under Rate Schedule FT-A as well as the applicable
F&LR and EPCR charges and all surcharges under Rate Schedule FT-A.

2.
If any terms of this Discounted Rate Agreement are disallowed by any order,
rulemaking, regulation or policy of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission,
Tennessee may immediately terminate this Discounted Rate Agreement. If any terms
of this Discounted Rate Agreement are in any way modified by order, rulemaking,
regulation or policy of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, Tennessee and
Roanoke may mutually agree to amend this Discounted Rate Agreement in order to
ensure that the original commercial intent of the parties is preserved. In the
event that the parties cannot achieve mutual agreement, Tennessee reserves the
right to immediately terminate this Discounted Rate Agreement.

If Roanoke is interested in entering into the Discounted Rate Agreement for firm
capacity in accordance with the terms proposed above, please have the authorized
representative of Roanoke execute this Discounted Rate Agreement, and return to
the undersigned. This Discounted Rate Agreement will become binding upon the
parties only after it then is accepted and executed by Tennessee's authorized
representative on the below "Agreed to and Accepted" portion. One fully executed
copy will be returned for your records.

If an executed Discounted Rate Agreement is not returned via mail, email to
Alison_Stringerindermorgan.com or facsimile to 713-369-9305 on or before May 31,
2016, then the Discounted Rate Agreement is nullified, and Roanoke will be
billed Tennessee's maximum reservation and commodity rates under Rate Schedule
FT-A.
