a. (DISCOUNTED RATE AGREEMENTS ONLY) Applicable Maximum and Minimum Rates.

b. (NEGOTIATED RATE AGREEMENTS ONLY) Maximum and Minimum Tariff Rates. Unless otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, the negotiated rates shall apply to service provided by Natural to Shipper for the term of the Agreement notwithstanding any otherwise applicable maximum or minimum rates set forth in Natural’s FERC Gas Tariff as revised from time to time.
c. (DISCOUNTED RATE AGREEMENTS ONLY) Refunds. In no event shall Natural be required to refund to Shipper any amounts collected for service to which the discounted rate(s) apply, unless the relevant discounted rate billed to Shipper exceeds the corresponding applicable effective maximum rates set forth in Natural’s FERC Gas Tariff, as approved by the FERC from time to time.

EXHIBIT A
DATED June 29, 2009
Company: ONE EARTH ENERGY, LLC
Contract No.: 137079
NATURAL RECEIPT POINT(S)
All Receipt Points as they appear in Natural’s most recently revised and currently released edition of Catalog of Receipt and Delivery Points, as such may be changed from time to time.
MAXIMUM DAILY QUANTITY
The Maximum Daily Quantity at each Natural Receipt Point is equal to the Maximum Daily Quantity of the Agreement.
RECEIPT PRESSURE, ASSUMED ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE
Natural gas to be delivered to Natural at the Receipt Point(s) shall be at a delivery pressure sufficient to enter Natural’s pipeline facilities at the pressure maintained from time to time, but Shipper shall not deliver gas at a pressure in excess of the Maximum Allowable Operating Pressure (MAOP) stated for each Receipt Point in Natural’s Catalog of Points. The measuring party shall use or cause to be used an assumed atmospheric pressure corresponding to the elevation at such Receipt Point(s).
RATES
Except as otherwise provided below or in any written agreement(s) between the parties in effect during the term hereof, Shipper shall pay Natural the applicable maximum rate(s) and all other lawful charges as specified in Natural’s applicable rate schedule. Shipper and Natural may agree that Shipper shall pay a rate other than the applicable maximum rate so long as such rate is between the applicable maximum and minimum rates specified for such service in the Tariff. Natural and Shipper may agree that a specific discounted rate will apply only to certain volumes under the agreement. The parties may agree that a specified discounted rate will apply only to specified volumes (MDQ or commodity volumes) under the agreement; that a specified discounted rate will apply only if specified volumes are achieved or only if the volumes do not exceed a specified level; that a specified discounted rate will apply only during specified periods of the year or for a specifically defined period; that a specified discounted rate will apply only to specified points, zones, mainline segments, supply areas, transportation paths, markets or other defined geographical area(s); that a specified discounted rate(s) will apply in a specified relationship to the volumes actually transported (i.e., that the reservation charge will be adjusted in a specified relationship to volumes actually transported); and/or that the discount will apply only to reserves dedicated by Shipper to Natural’s system. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no discount agreement may provide that an agreed discount as to a certain volume level will be invalidated if the Shipper transports an incremental volume above that agreed level. 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 Natural’s maximum rates 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 sheets. 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. If the parties agree upon a rate other than the applicable maximum rate, such written Agreement shall specify that the parties mutually agree either: (1) that the agreed rate is a discount rate; or (2) that the agreed rate is a Negotiated Rate (or Negotiated Rate Formula). In the event that the parties agree upon a Negotiated Rate or Negotiated Rate Formula, this Agreement shall be subject to Section 49 of the General Terms and Conditions of Natural’s Tariff.
FUEL GAS AND GAS LOST AND UNACCOUNTED FOR PERCENTAGE (%)
Shipper will be assessed the applicable percentage for Fuel Gas and Gas Lost and Unaccounted For unless Natural and Shipper mutually agree on monetary reimbursement.
TRANSPORTATION OF LIQUIDS
Transportation of liquids may occur at permitted points identified in Natural’s current Catalog of Receipt and Delivery Points, but only if the parties execute a separate liquids agreement.

 

 


 

EXHIBIT B
DATED June 29, 2009
Company: ONE EARTH ENERGY, LLC
Contract No.: 137079
NATURAL DELIVERY POINT(S)
All Delivery Points as they appear in Natural’s most recently revised and currently released edition of Catalog of Receipt and Delivery Points, as such may be changed from time to time.
MAXIMUM DAILY QUANTITY
The Maximum Daily Quantity at each Natural Delivery Point is equal to the Maximum Daily Quantity of the Agreement.
DELIVERY PRESSURE, ASSUMED ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE
Natural gas to be delivered by Natural to Shipper, or for Shipper’s account, at the Delivery Point(s) shall be at the pressures available in Natural’s pipeline facilities from time to time; provided, however, that the delivery pressure shall not be less than na. The measuring party shall use or cause to be used an assumed atmospheric pressure corresponding to the elevation at such Delivery Point(s).
