ARTICLE VI - TERM OF AGREEMENT

This Agreement shall be effective upon execution. However, Firm Transportation service under

this Agreement shall commence on the first day of the month (the "Commencement Date") following

Quantity Rate, and any new Facilities Charge, Incidental Charge, and Imbalance Charge, if

applicable, all as specified in Sections 5.2, 5.3, 5.4 and 5.5 of Rate Schedule FT-2.

(a) Fuel and Losses

Minnegasco shall daily provide to Midwestern, at no cost to Midwestern, the quantity

of gas required for Midwestern's system fuel and uses and for gas lost and

unaccounted for, associated with rendering transportation service pursuant to this

Rate Schedule. The Fuel and Use Quantity shall be determined by the mileage block

of the Transportation Service and the season as follows: .37% per 100 Dth miles

during the Winter Season or .33% per 100 Dth miles during the Summer Season. The

quantity of gas lost and unaccounted for shall be 0.0%; provided, however, for

service that is rendered entirely by displacement, Minnegasco shall provide only

that quantity of gas equal to 0.0% of the quantity of natural gas tendered for

transportation at any Receipt Point, for lost and unaccounted for quantities. To

the extent that Minnegasco fails to tender an adequate quantity of gas pursuant to

this Article VII, then the quantity of gas required for Midwestern's system fuel and

uses and gas lost and unaccounted for shall be calculated on the basis of the

quantity of gas delivered by Midwestern at any Delivery Point.

other legally effective rates applicable to the transportation service provided for
