Additional Conditions • What is an Additional Condition?

– Additional conditions are terms and conditions of the service that are not tariff regulated or are in addition to the tariff terms. • Requested Text – Certain facilities and/or contracts will have unique conditions that will apply and need to be added to the contract. These will have to be input by the customer when they are submitting an RFS. TransGas will provide the verbiage for these in an email prior to the customer submitting their RFS.

Key Points Dates • Do not choose an end date – leave open ended. Do not require TEP • Unlike other contracts, CSO contracts do not require TEP meter (7777). Contract at CTP • For meters with a CTP, on your CSO agreement, you must contract at the CTP not the physical meter. No Additional Conditions required • Only preapproved text RFS Contract Amendments Amendment Types • Four Types of Amendments can be done

1. Transferring capacity from one meter to another 2. Shedding firm demand at the end of the contract 3. Increasing firm demand at renewal date 4. Amend CSO agreements to add meters

• Increasing firm capacity in the middle of a contract’s term CANNOT be done through an amendment. This would be done through a New RFS and would be a new contract.
