180/ For the period 11/01/2015 through 3/31/2018, Shipper shall pay a total reservation charge
for three years of service of $516,654, subject to a reduction due to a lower cost of the
Hazel interconnect. Beginning 11/01/2015, Shipper shall pay an estimated monthly reservation
charge equal to $2.4093/Dth/day multiplied by the contract MDQ multiplied by 30.4
(Negotiated Reservation Rate). The Negotiated Reservation Rate will be adjusted down to the
extent the Actual Cost of the Hazel interconnect is lower than the estimate on which the
rates are based. In addition, the Negotiated Reservation Rate includes an amount to recover
the cost of the new compressor station and assumes a start date of 01/01/2016 and an end
date of 03/31/2018, for the MDQ dependent upon the new compressor station. The Negotiated
Reservation Rate will be adjusted for the actual number of months of service if the
completion of the new compressor is delayed. This Agreement will be amended to provide the
forgoing adjustments to the monthly reservation rates.
In addition to the Negotiated Reservation Rate, Shipper shall (i) pay a commodity rate equal
to the maximum commodity rates provided in Northern's FERC Gas Tariff; (ii) provide any

Plant (POI 78920) beginning 01/01/2016 and ending 03/31/2018.
The maximum daily quantities of the Agreement are 277 Dth/day for winter service from
receipts at the new NBPL/NNG Hazel interconnect (POI #79244) for deliveries to FHR Arthur
Plant (POI 78920) beginning 11/01/2016 and ending 03/31/2018.
183/ For the period 11/01/2015 through 10/31/2016, the total daily rate for the contract MDQ
shall be $0.12/Dth except for any volumes scheduled to NNG Field/Mkt Demarcation-16B (POI
37654) (Demarc) where the total daily rate for Demarc volumes shall be $0.12/Dth plus the
arithmetic value obtained from the formula [("X" minus ("Y" divided by "A")) times "B"]
(rate) where "X" = the Midpoint price from "Gas Daily" Northern, demarc; "Y" = the Midpoint
price from "Gas Daily" Waha; "A" = 1.0 less the applicable fuel percentage increase for
deliveries to Demarc from receipts in Section 1, as compared to the Field Area fuel
percentage for deliveries in Section 1 from receipts located in Section 1; and "B" = 0.85.
However, in no event will the daily rate for volumes scheduled to Demarc be less than
$0.25/Dth for the period 11/1/2015 through 03/31/2016 or less than $0.16/Dth for the period
04/01/2016 through 10/31/2016. The monthly rate will be the sum of all daily rates from the
formula above.
In addition to the above rates, Shipper shall provide any applicable fuel use and
unaccounted for.
The charges set forth above are applicable to the receipt and (or) delivery points (POI)
listed. Shipper agrees that if any receipt or delivery points not listed are used either on
a primary or alternate basis, the charges set forth above will not be applicable and Shipper
shall pay the higher of the charges set forth above or Northern's maximum tariff reservation
and commodity rates for the entire contract MDQ for each day during the month that any
points not listed are used.
In the event of a realignment of any of the entitlement under this Agreement, Shipper shall
pay the higher of Northern's maximum reservation and commodity rates or the rates generated
using the formula set forth above for the entire contract MDQ for each day for the remaining
term of the Agreement, unless agreed to otherwise by Northern.

the "Maximum Rate"), such Negotiated Reservation Rate would be applicable only to the
receipt point NBPL/NNG Hazel (POI #79244) and delivery points Zone ABC-Sioux Center (POI
#3110)and Sioux Center IA #1 (POI #4065), as applicable, on a primary basis, and all Market
Area receipt points on an alternate basis. If any other points are used either on a primary
or alternate basis, Shipper shall pay the higher of the Negotiated Reservation Rate or the
Maximum Rate for the entire contract MDQ during the month that any points not listed are
used. In the event of a realignment of any of the entitlement, Shipper shall pay the higher
of the Negotiated Reservation Rate or the Maximum Rate for the realigned entitlement through
the remaining term of the Agreement, in addition to any other charges that may be
applicable.
189/ For the period 4/01/2016 through 10/31/2016, Shipper shall pay a base reservation rate equal
to $0.0800/Dth/day for Field Area MDQ; provided quantities scheduled under the Agreement do
not exceed 12,000 Dth/day. If quantities scheduled under this Agreement exceed 12,000 Dth/
day, Shipper shall pay an additional reservation fee equal to $0.20 Dth/day for quantities
