Issued On: June 30, 2020 Effective On: July 1, 2020

287/ For the period 7/01/2020 through 7/31/2020, the daily charge for the Contract MDQ shall be

the MDQ multiplied by the "Rate." The "Rate" is the arithmetic value obtained from the

formula [(D minus ((R plus I) divided by F)) times S times P], where (D) = the Midpoint

price from Platts "Gas Daily" Northern, demarc; (R) = the Midpoint price from Platts "Gas

Daily" Panhandle, Tx.-Oklahoma; (I) = $0.00; (F) = 1.0 less the applicable fuel percentage

for deliveries to NNG Field MKT Demarcation - 16B (POI 37654) (Demarc) from Fuel Section 2;

(S) = 0.90; and (P) = the actual % of MDQ scheduled on this contract except in the event [(D

minus ((R plus I) divided by F)) times S] is equal to or greater than $0.07 then "P" will be

equal to 1.0. However, when calculating the "Rate," in no event will [(D minus ((R plus I)

divided by F)) times S] be less than $0.03. The monthly charge will be the sum of all daily

charges from the formula above.

Shipper's charges above shall be reduced, in Northern's sole discretion, for any quantity

that is unable to be delivered up to the MDQ. In the event of an outage on Northern's

pipeline system that impacts the Shipper's ability to flow the primary receipt and delivery

points, Shipper's rate will be reduced to zero for any primary quantity allocated in the

Timely cycle or curtailed. Shipper's rate will not be reduced for any quantity that is

ultimately rescheduled.

In addition to the above rates, Shipper shall provide any applicable fuel use and

unaccounted for.

The Rate set forth above is applicable to the receipt and delivery points (POI) listed. For

any delivered quantities from alternate receipt points located in MIDs 1 through 7, Shipper

shall also pay the higher of an additional (i) $0.40/Dth/day charge or (ii) a daily charge

per dekatherm equal to the Midpoint price of Platts "Gas Daily" Panhandle, Tx.-Okla. less

the Midpoint price of Platts "Gas Daily" Waha. In addition to the foregoing, for quantities

delivered to non-primary delivery points, Shipper shall pay an additional $0.20/Dth/day

charge for deliveries to points located in MIDs 1 through 16A. Notwithstanding the

aforementioned, in the event of an outage on Northern's pipeline system that impacts the

Shipper's ability to schedule any primary receipt or delivery points, Shipper may use any

receipt point listed for delivery to any Field Area delivery point located in MIDs 1 through

16A during the outage at the Rate calculated above.

If any primary points are realigned, Shipper shall pay an additional $0.30/Dth for the

entire contract MDQ for the remaining term of the Agreement; however, Shipper and Northern

may mutually agree to a realignment between points located in MIDs 1 through 16B.

Notwithstanding the aforementioned, the rate for such an agreed upon realignment will be the

Rate calculated above.

288/ For the period 7/1/2020 through 7/31/2020, the daily charge for the Contract MDQ shall be

the MDQ multiplied by the "Rate." The "Rate" is $0.005 plus the arithmetic value obtained

from the formula [(D minus ((R plus I) divided by F)) times S times P], where (D) = the

Midpoint price from Platts "Gas Daily" Northern, demarc; (R) = the Midpoint price from

Platts "Gas Daily" Panhandle, Tx.-Okla.; (I) = $0.11; (F) = 1.0 less the applicable fuel

percentage for deliveries to NNG Field MKT Demarcation - 16B (POI 37654) (Demarc) from the

fuel section of the primary receipt point(s); (S) = 0.95; and (P) = the actual % of MDQ

scheduled on this contract except in the event [(D minus ((R plus I) divided by F)) times S]

is equal to or greater than $0.20 then "P" will be equal to 1.0. However, when calculating

the "Rate," in no event will [(D minus ((R plus I) divided by F)) times S] be less than

$0.02 and in no event will the "Rate" be less than $0.005. The monthly charge will be the

sum of all daily charges from the formula above.

Shipper's charges above shall be reduced, in Northern's sole discretion, for any quantity

that is unable to be delivered up to the MDQ. In the event of an outage on Northern's

pipeline system that impacts the Shipper's ability to flow the primary receipt and delivery

points, Shipper's rate will be reduced to zero for any primary quantity allocated in the

additional (i) $0.40/Dth/day charge or (ii) a daily charge per dekatherm equal to the

Midpoint price of Platts "Gas Daily" Panhandle, Tx.-Okla. less the Midpoint price of Platts

"Gas Daily" Waha. In addition to the foregoing, for quantities delivered to non-primary

delivery points, Shipper shall pay an additional $0.20/Dth/day charge for deliveries to

points located in MIDs 1 through 16A. Notwithstanding the aforementioned, in the event of an

outage on Northern's pipeline system that impacts the Shipper's ability to schedule any

primary receipt or delivery points, Shipper may use any receipt point listed for delivery to

any Field Area delivery point located in MIDs 1 through 16A during the outage at the Rate

calculated above.

If any primary points are realigned, Shipper shall pay an additional $0.30/Dth for the

entire contract MDQ for the remaining term of the Agreement; however, Shipper and Northern

may mutually agree to a realignment between points located in MIDs 1 through 16B.

Notwithstanding the aforementioned, the rate for such agreed upon realignment will be the

Rate set forth above.

price from Platts "Gas Daily" Northern, demarc; (R) = the Midpoint price from Platts "Gas

Daily" Panhandle, Tx.-Oklahoma; (I) = $0.00; (F) = 1.0 less the applicable fuel percentage

for deliveries to NNG Field MKT Demarcation - 16B (POI 37654) (Demarc) from Fuel Section 2;

(S) = 0.90; and (P) = the actual % of MDQ scheduled on this contract except in the event [(D

minus ((R plus I) divided by F)) times S] is equal to or greater than $0.07 then "P" will be

equal to 1.0. However, when calculating the "Rate," in no event will [(D minus ((R plus I)
