Service Agreement No. 181709 Revision No. 0

FTS SERVICE AGREEMENT

THIS AGREEMENT is made and entered into this 21 day of October, 2016, by and between COLUMBIA GAS TRANSMISSION, LLC ("Transporter") and ROANOKE GAS COMPANY ("Shipper").

WITNESSETH:   That in consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:

Section 1. Service to be Rendered.  Transporter shall perform and Shipper shall receive service in accordance with the provisions of the effective FTS Rate Schedule and applicable General Terms and Conditions of Transporter's FERC Gas Tariff, Fourth Revised Volume No. 1 ("Tariff"), on file with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission ("Commission"), as the same may be amended or superseded in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Commission. The maximum obligation of Transporter to deliver gas hereunder to or for Shipper, the designation of the points of delivery at which Transporter shall deliver or cause gas to be delivered to or for Shipper, and the points of receipt at which Shipper shall deliver or cause gas to be delivered, are specified in Appendix A, as the same may be amended from time to time by agreement between Shipper and Transporter, or in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Commission.

Section 2. Term.  Service under this Agreement shall commence as of April 1, 2017, and shall continue in full force and effect until March 31, 2027.  Pre-granted abandonment shall apply upon termination of this Agreement, subject to any right of first refusal Shipper may have under the Commission's regulations and Transporter's Tariff.

Section 3. Rates.  Shipper shall pay Transporter the charges and furnish Retainage as described in the above-referenced Rate Schedule, unless otherwise agreed to by the parties in writing and specified as an amendment to this Service Agreement. Transporter may agree to discount its rate to Shipper below Transporter's maximum rate, but not less than Transporter's minimum rate. Such discounted rate may apply to:
(a) specified quantities (contract demand or commodity quantities); (b) specified quantities above or below a certain level or all quantities if quantities exceed a certain level; (c) quantities during specified time periods; (d) quantities at specified points, locations, or other defined geographical areas; (e) that a specified discounted rate will apply in a specified relationship to the quantities actually transported (i.e., that the reservation charge will be adjusted in a specified relationship to quantities actually transported); (f) production and/or reserves committed by the Shipper; and (g) based on a formula including, but not limited to, published index prices for specific receipt and/or delivery points or other agreed-upon pricing points, provided that the resulting rate shall be no lower than the minimum nor higher than the maximum applicable rate set forth in the Tariff. In addition, the discount agreement may include a provision that if one rate component which was at or below the applicable maximum rate at the time the discount agreement was executed subsequently exceeds the applicable maximum rate due to a change in Transporter's maximum rate so that such rate component must be adjusted downward to equal the new applicable maximum rate, then other rate components may be adjusted upward to achieve the agreed overall rate, so long as none of the resulting rate components exceed the maximum rate applicable to that rate component.  Such changes to rate components shall be applied prospectively, commencing with the date a Commission order accepts revised tariff sections. However, nothing contained herein shall be construed to alter a refund obligation under applicable law for any period during which rates, which had been charged under a discount agreement, exceeded rates which ultimately are found to be just and reasonable.

Section 4. Notices.  Notices to Transporter under this Agreement shall be addressed to it at 5151 San Felipe, Suite 2500, Houston, Texas 77056, Attention: Customer Services and notices to Shipper shall be

addressed to it at Roanoke Gas Company, President, P.O. Box 13007, Roanoke, VA 24030, Attention: Roanoke Gas Company, until changed by either party by written notice.

Section 5. Superseded Agreements.  This Service Agreement supersedes and cancels, as of the effective date hereof, the following Service Agreement(s): N/A.

Exhibit 10(i)(i)
AMENDED AND RESTATED
RESTRICTED STOCK PLAN FOR
OUTSIDE DIRECTORS OF RGC RESOURCES, INC.

		
	1.
	Assumption of Plan by RGC Resources, Inc.; Purpose

This Amended and Restated Restricted Stock Plan for Outside Directors of RGC Resources, Inc. (as successor to Roanoke Gas Company) (the "Plan") amends and restates the Roanoke Gas Company Restricted Stock Plan for Outside Directors (the "Original Plan"), which was adopted by the Board of Directors of Roanoke Gas Company ("Roanoke Gas") on September 23, 1996, and became effective as of such date upon approval of the Original Plan by the shareholders of Roanoke Gas company on January 27, 1997. The amendment and restatement of the Original Plan and the assumption of liabilities hereunder are undertaken by RGC Resources, Inc., (the “Company”), as successor to Roanoke Gas, in connection with the reorganization of Roanoke Gas into a holding company structure (the “Reorganization”) as part of which Roanoke Gas became a wholly-owned subsidiary of RGC Resources as of July 1, 1999. The Reorganization is being effected pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of September 28, 1998 (the “Merger Agreement”), which is approved by the stockholders of Roanoke Gas on March 31, 1999, and pursuant to which Roanoke Gas and RGC Resources agreed that from and after the effective date of the Merger provided for therein, this Plan would utilize RGC Resources common stock instead of Roanoke Gas common stock. Accordingly, as of the effective date hereof, RGC Resources assumes the obligations of Roanoke Gas under the Original Plan and undertakes to carry out all responsibilities of the Company specified herein. Roanoke Gas consents and agrees to the assumption by RGC Resources of the Roanoke Gas’ responsibilities under this Plan. 

The Amended and Restated Restricted Stock Plan for Outside Directors of RGC Resources, Inc.  is intended to advance the interests of RGC Resources, Inc., its shareholders, and its affiliates by encouraging and enabling outside directors upon whose judgment,  initiative and effort the Company relies for the successful conduct of its business, to acquire and retain a proprietary interest in the Company by ownership of its stock.

In determining the number of shares to be issued pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Fair Market Value of the Restricted Stock under the Plan shall, for each calendar month, be calculated based on the closing sales price of the Company's common stock on the Nasdaq Global Market on the first day of the month, if the first day of the month is a trading day, or if not, the first trading day prior to the first day of the month.

		
	4.
	Additional Restricted Stock Election

Any writing signed by a Member expressing an intention to revoke his Election Form and delivered to a member of the Committee before the close of business on the relevant Election Date is a revocation.

		
	5.
	Vesting

The shares of Restricted Stock of the Company issued under Section 3 and Section 4 of this Plan shall vest only in the case of a Participant's death, disability, retirement (including not standing for reelection to the Board), or in the event of a Change in Control of the Company. There shall be no option to take cash in lieu of stock upon vesting of shares under this Plan.

		
	6.
	Nontransferability

No share of Restricted Stock issued hereunder may be sold, transferred, assigned, or pledged by the Participant until such share has vested in accordance of the terms of this Plan.  At the time the Restricted Stock vests, and, if the Participant has been issued legended certificates of Restricted Stock, upon the return of such certificates to the Company, a certificate for such vested shares shall be delivered to the Participant (or the Beneficiary designated by the Participant in the event of death), free of restrictive legend (other than any required by applicable securities laws).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no vested shares may be sold, transferred, assigned or pledged by the Participant (or 

4

the Beneficiary) unless six months have elapsed between the date of grant of the shares of Restricted Stock which have vested and the date of the sale, transfer, assignment or pledge of such vested shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Participant may transfer Restricted Stock to a Family Trust. 

		
	7.
	Forfeiture

The shares of Restricted Stock issued under Section 3 and Section 4 of this Plan shall be forfeited to the Company upon a Member's voluntary resignation during his term on the Board, or removal for cause as a Director.

		
	8.
	Stock Certificates

Stock certificates representing the Restricted Stock, together with stock powers or other instruments of assignment, each endorsed in blank, which will permit transfer to the Company of all or any portion of the Restricted Stock evidenced by such certificate in the event it is forfeited, shall be deposited by the recipient with the Company.

		
	9.
	Rights as Shareholder

Subject to the terms of this Plan, the Participant, as the owner of the Restricted Stock, shall have all rights of a shareholder including, but not limited to, voting rights, the right to receive cash or stock dividends thereon, and the right to participate in any capital adjustment of the Company.  Any distribution with the respect to shares of Restricted Stock other than in the form of cash shall be held by the Company, and shall be subject to the same restrictions as the shares with respect to which such distributions were made.  The Committee may require that any or all dividends or other distributions paid on shares of Restricted Stock shall be automatically sequestered and may be reinvested on an immediate or deferred basis in additional shares of Company stock, which may be subject to the same restrictions as the Restricted Stock or such other restrictions as the Committee may determine.

		
	10.
	Claims against Participant's Restricted Stock

The shares of Restricted Stock issued pursuant to this Plan are not subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, or charge, and any attempt to do so is void.  Moreover, the shares are not subject to attachment or legal process for a Participant's debts or other obligations.  Nothing contained in this Plan gives any Participant any interest, lien, or claim against any specific asset of the Company.

		
	11.
	Amendment or Termination

The Board may at any time suspend or terminate the Plan or may amend it from time to time in such respects as the Board may deem advisable in order that the Restricted Stock issued hereunder may conform to any changes in the law or any other respect with which the Board may deem to be in the best interests of the Company.  No such suspension, termination or amendment of the Plan shall require approval of the shareholders unless shareholder approval is required by applicable law or stock exchange requirements.

5

		
	12.
	Notices

Notices and elections under this Plan must be in writing.  A notice or election is deemed delivered if it is delivered personally or if it is mailed by registered or certified mail to the person at his last known business address.

		
	13.
	Waiver

The waiver of a breach of any provision in this Plan does not operate as and may not be construed as a waiver of any later breach.

		
	14.
	Construction

This Plan is created, adopted, and maintained according to the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia (except its choice-of-law rules).  It is governed by those laws in all respects.  Headings and captions are only for convenience; they do not have substantive meaning. If a provision of this Plan is not valid or not enforceable, that fact in no way affects the validity or enforceability of any other provision. Use of the one gender includes all, and the singular and plural include each other.

		
	15.
	Adjustments For Changes in Capitalization

In the event of a reorganization, recapitalization,  stock split, stock dividend, combination of shares, rights offer, liquidation, dissolution, merger, consolidation, spin off, sale of assets, payment of an extraordinary cash dividend, or any other change in or affecting the corporate structure or capitalization of the Company, the Committee shall make appropriate adjustments in the number, price or kind of shares of Restricted Stock authorized to be issued under this Plan, and in any outstanding shares of Restricted Stock issued hereunder.

		
	16.
	Withholding Taxes

Whenever the Company is required to issue or transfer shares of Restricted Stock under this Plan, the Company shall have the right to require the recipient of such Restricted Stock to remit to the Company an amount sufficient to satisfy any federal, state or local withholding tax liability prior to the delivery of any certificate for such shares.  Whenever under the Plan payments are to be made in cash, such payments shall be net of an amount sufficient to satisfy any federal, state or local withholding tax liability.

		
	17.
	Indemnification

The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless each person who is or has been a member of the Committee, or of the Board of Directors, against and from any and all loss, expense, liability, or costs (including reasonable attorneys' fees) that may be imposed upon or reasonably incurred by him in connection with or resulting from any claim, action, suit or 

6

proceedings to which he may be a party or in which he may be involved by reason of any action taken or failure to act under the Plan, and against and from any and all amounts paid by him in settlement thereof with the Company's approval or paid by him in satisfaction of a final judgment against him in such action, suit, or proceedings, provided he shall give the Company an opportunity, at its own expense to handle and defend the same before he undertakes to handle defense on his own behalf. The right of indemnification herein set forth shall not be exclusive of any other rights of indemnification to which such person may be entitled under the Company's Articles of Incorporation, or code or regulations, as a matter of law, or otherwise, or any power that the Company may have to indemnify him or to hold him harmless. It is the Company's intention that all expenses incurred in connection with the administration of the Plan shall be borne by the Company rather than by any member of the Committee or the Board of Directors.

		
	18.
	Effective Date of the Plan

The Plan is subject to approval by the shareholders of the Company.  The Plan will  become effective on the date so approved.

		
	19.
	Shares Subject to the Plan

The aggregate number of shares of Company Stock which may be issued in respect to Restricted Stock shall not exceed 50,000 shares.  All shares distributed pursuant to the Plan shall consist of authorized but unissued shares of the Company.

		
	20.
	Power of the Committee

The Committee shall have authority to interpret conclusively the provisions of the Plan, to adopt such rules and regulations for carrying out the Plan as it may deem advisable, to decide conclusively all questions of fact arising in the application of the Plan, and to make all other determinations necessary or advisable for the administration of the Plan.  All decisions and acts of the Committee shall be final and binding upon all affected Plan Participants.

		
	21.
	Miscellaneous

Transactions under this Plan are intended to comply with Rule 16b-3 (or its successor), as amended from time to time, promulgated pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.  Therefore, to the extent any provision of the Plan or action by a person administering the Plan fails to so comply, it shall be deemed null and void ab initio to the extent permitted by law and deemed advisable by the Committee.

As evidence of its adoption and approval of this Plan and approval of the terms and conditions of each Participant transaction hereunder, the Board has caused this document to be executed on its behalf, and on behalf of the Company, this 25th day of July, 2016.
