Agreement from the applicable Eligible and DSS Storage Receipt Points to the applicable Eligible Delivery Points during the applicable Negotiated Rate
Term; and (ii) a maximum daily firm transportation quantity equal to the applicable Eligible Firm Transportation and DSS Storage Quantity set forth in

replacement shippers which: (i) are in excess of the Eligible Firm Transportation and DSS Storage Quantity, or (ii) involve any receipt or delivery
points which are not Eligible Receipt or Delivery Points under the relevant Service Agreement, Shipper shall pay Natural base reservation and commodity
rates which are equal to the greater of: (a) the 100% load factor equivalent of the relevant Negotiated Fixed Monthly Base Reservation Rate and
Negotiated Fixed Base Commodity Rate; and (b) the 100% load factor equivalent of the applicable maximum base reservation and commodity rates set forth in
Natural's Gas Tariff, as may be revised from time to time.
(b) Discountable Third Party Surcharges. From time to time, certain reservation and/or commodity surcharges may be approved by the FERC for inclusion in

discount the amount of such surcharge from the applicable maximum rate set forth in Natural's FERC Gas Tariff ("Discountable Third Party Surcharges").
Natural shall discount any particular Discountable Third Party Surcharge to the maximum extent permitted under the provisions of Natural's FERC Gas
Tariff. Shipper shall only be responsible for payment to Natural of any portion of such Discountable Third Party Surcharge which Natural is not permitted
to discount and for which Natural bills Shipper.
(c) Applicable Maximum Rates, Charges and Surcharges. Unless otherwise expressly provided herein or agreed to in writing by Natural, in addition to the
Negotiated Rates, Shipper shall pay Natural all applicable maximum rates, charges, surcharges and penalties of any nature set forth in Natural's FERC Gas
Tariff, as may be revised from time to time, for service provided to Shipper under the Service Agreement, including without limitation all applicable:

reservation surcharges; (vi) commodity rates, charges and surcharges; (vii) ACA surcharges; and (viii) gathering charges, offshore charges and lateral
line charges. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, to the extent that any such additional maximum rate, charge, surcharge or penalty is derived from
the Negotiated Fixed Monthly Base Reservation Rate and/or the Negotiated Fixed Monthly Base Commodity Rate applicable to service provided under the
relevant Service Agreement, then Natural shall derive such additional rate, charge, surcharge, or penalty utilizing the greater of: (a) the maximum base
reservation rate or maximum base commodity rate set forth in Natural's FERC Gas Tariff, as revised from time to time, which is applicable to the relevant
Service Agreement, and (b) the applicable Negotiated Fixed Monthly Base Reservation Rate or Negotiated Fixed Monthly Base Commodity Rate which is
