TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SERVICE

Utility and Customer agree to the following terms and conditions applicable hereto:

1. Effective Date and Term. Effective Date will be determined based upon execution of this contract by SDG&E (Utility). All natural gas transported under the terms and conditions of this contract shall additionally be subject to all applicable tariffs approved by the California Public Utilities Commission. The term of service under the applicable noncore transportation rate schedule shall be a minimum of one month.

In the event customers are unable to execute the necessary contract by the time service is required, and no alternate schedule is available, they may temporarily receive transportation service under this schedule. Customers receiving temporary service without executed contracts will not be able to: (a) take advantage of Contracted Marketer services,

(b) designate Agents to nominate on their behalf, (c) avail themselves of other services which require executed contracts, or (d) group separate facilities for nomination purposes, and instead must nominate separately for the non-contracted facility. All other tariffs and Rules, including, but not limited to, Schedule G-IMB, will apply to customers without executed contracts.

2. Rate Selection for Transmission Level Customers. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the applicable tariffs, including, but not limited to Schedule TLS. Transmission level customers shall receive service under the applicable rate set forth in Schedule TLS. Schedule TLS rate selection can be submitted to SDG&E by means of a signed and completed Noncore Transportation Service Contract. Customers with a current and effective Noncore Transportation Service Contract can submit their Schedule TLS rate selection in the Transmission Level Service Rate Selection Form (Form 142-1265).

The Transmission Level Service Rate Selection will auto-renew monthly unless Customer provides a new Noncore Transportation Services Contract and/or Transmission Level Service Rate Selection Form no later than 20 days prior to the first calendar day of the month that customer wants rate option to commence.

3. Curtailment. Utility shall curtail service in accordance with its Rules and Rate Schedules, including but not limited to Rule 14. Penalties for violation of curtailment order shall apply as set forth in Rule 14.

4. Maximum Authorized Usage. The maximum quantity (in therms) the customer is entitled to use during a gas curtailment. In the event that daily usage data is not available, the recorded monthly volumes delivered to the customer shall be assumed to have been delivered at a constant rate over the customer’s regular days of operations during the month; and, at a constant rate over a 24-hour period of each of the customer’s regular days of operations during the month.

5. Noncore Transportation Service Customer Contact Information. In order to notify noncore customers of gas curtailments, the customer must provide and maintain accurate primary and alternate day/night contact phone numbers and contact names who will be responsible for responding to the utility's notice to curtail gas services. The inability of the utility to notify a noncore gas customer of curtailment due to having out-dated and/or incorrect phone numbers and contact names, will result in the customer being changed to core status for the next 12-month period.

6. California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) Provision. This contract shall at all times be subject to such changes or modifications by the Public Utilities Commission of the State of California, as said Commission may, from time to time, direct in the exercise of its jurisdiction.

7. Gas Transportation Service. Services provided hereunder include the transportation of gas supplies across the SoCalGas and SDG&E pipeline systems to the customer's end-use meter excluding backbone transportation service. Backbone transportation service can be obtained directly under SoCalGas’ Schedule G-BTS.
