 Shipper agrees to pay a negotiated rate as follows for firm transportation service provided under the terms of this Service Agreement referenced above and Rate Schedule FTS of Company's Tariff:
 
 1.a. During the period from the date that the pipeline facilities associated with Phase A of the Company's facilities authorized in Docket Nos. CP06-470, et al. are ready for service to the date that the storage facilities associated with Phase B of the Elba III Southern LNG Project are ready for service, but in no event later than December 31, 2013, Shipper shall pay to Company a daily rate of $192,969, inclusive of any and all commodity charges and surcharges and other charges and fees, except only for 1) fuel, 2) electric power, 3) LAUF, and 4) any commodity charges applicable to quantities delivered in excess of Shipper's TD.
 
 1. b. For billing purposes Shipper's reservation charge in a month applicable to the period set forth above in Section 1.a. shall be calculated by using a rate of $0.20 multiplied by the product of Shipper's TD and 1.021 and the number of days in the applicable month less the sum of the monthly charges associated with any and all commodity charges and any and all surcharges which shall be billed to Shipper at the applicable tariff rate under Rate Schedule FTS.  In the event of any conflict between this paragraph 1.b. and the terms of paragraph 1.a. above, the terms of paragraph 1.a. shall govern.
 
 2. a. During the period from the date that the facilities associated with Phase B of the Elba III Southern LNG Project are ready for service, but in no event later than December 31, 2013, to the end of the Primary Term set forth in Exhibit "A" above, Shipper shall pay to Company a daily rate of $173,672, inclusive of any and all commodity charges and surcharges and other charges and fees, except only for 1) fuel, 2) electric power, 3) LAUF, and 4) any commodity charges applicable to quantities delivered in excess of Shipper's TD.

  6. c. Exclusions. There shall be excluded from Incidental Net Revenue an amount equal to the Incidental Services’ proportionate share of all O&M Expense and Other Taxes.

In accordance with the provisions of Section 45 of the Company Tariff, Company shall provide Shipper a credit for revenues associated with Interruptible Transportation, Authorized Overrun, Short-Term Firm Transportation and that portion of the long-term firm backhaul transportation for which the facilities associated therewith have not been reimbursed through subscription of firm capacity.
 
 7. Any charges or surcharges associated with any quantities taken above the applicable TD shall be assessed in accordance with Company's Tariff and not included in the daily rate set forth above in paragraphs 1 or 2.
 
 8. a. Shipper and Company agree that neither Party shall take any steps during the term of the Service Agreement to change, adjust or terminate the negotiated rate. Except as provided herein, Shipper shall have the right to intervene, protest and fully participate in proceedings involving the recourse rates, Tariff and services of Company.
 
 8. b. Shipper shall not, directly or indirectly, take a position in a Company proceeding at FERC that any revenue generated from the negotiated rate hereunder in excess of the recourse rate should be either credited to Company's existing cost of service or that any cost should be assigned to another shipper.
 
 8. c. In the event of a material breach by Shipper of the covenants above in a FERC proceeding dealing exclusively with Company, Shipper may be responsible for consequential or special damages up to the lost revenue caused by the material breach.
 
 8. d. In the event of a material breach by Company of the covenants above, Company shall refund to Shipper such amounts improperly credited, together with interest thereon at the FERC Refund Rate.
 
 9. Company agrees not to (a) modify its agreement with the other existing Firm Shipper in any manner that would negatively impact Shipper or the terms, conditions, or rates of the services to be provided to Shipper in connection with this Service Agreement or (b) offer to any third party (including the other existing Firm Shipper) rates or terms or conditions of service that are better than those provided or to be provided to Shipper without offering such rates or terms or conditions of service to Shipper; provided, however, the other existing Firm Shipper's negotiated rate, as reflected in the Company's application filed in Docket Nos. CP06-470-000, et al., shall not be considered to negatively impact Shipper as provided in (a) above or to be better than the rates, terms or conditions of service provided to Shipper as provided in (b) above, regardless of any increases or decreases in the other existing Firm Shipper's rates pursuant to said shipper's negotiated rate agreement and provided that the terms of such negotiated rate agreement have not been amended or changed.
