Negotiated Rate Agreement

1.    In accordance with Section 6.30 of the General Terms and Conditions of Equitrans’ Tariff, Equitrans and Customer agree that the following negotiated rate provisions will apply under the Agreement:

In addition, Customer shall pay the fuel usage, lost and unaccounted for gas percentage retainage factor to recover actual fuel usage, lost and unaccounted for gas based on the following calculation. Equitrans will initially retain 0.63% of Customer’s nominated receipts volumes to recover fuel, lost and unaccounted for gas. Equitrans will track the actual experienced fuel and lost and unaccounted for gas experienced to provide transportation service on the Mainline System. Equitrans will account for the under or over recovered fuel and lost and unaccounted for gas associated with this Agreement in FERC Account 186. Beginning with the Effective Date, Equitrans shall adjust the Retainage Factor from time to time, but at least on an annual basis, to more accurately reflect actual experienced fuel and lost and unaccounted for gas; however, in no event will the Retainage Factor be less than zero. Equitrans shall file with the Commission for approval to adjust the Retainage Factor to reflect changes in the actual experienced fuel and unaccounted for gas on the Mainline System. The resulting Retainage Factor shall be effective until the effective date of Equitrans’ next succeeding filing to update the Retainage Factor for this Agreement.

The negotiated rates including the retainage rates to recover actual fuel and lost and unaccounted for gas will only apply to nominations to off-system interstate pipeline interconnects. Any nominations to other points will be subject to the posted Tariff Retainage Rates and the Pipeline Safety Cost Rate.

Shipper shall also be subject to any FERC mandated surcharges, imposed by FERC on an industry wide and generally applicable basis to shippers on interstate pipelines. Transporter shall assess the impact of any such FERC proposed surcharge on its Shippers and use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize the application or impact of such surcharge on Transporter’s Shippers, provided that such efforts by Transporter shall not include any obligation on or risk to Transporter of cost responsibility for such surcharge.

Except as expressly stated herein, Equitrans’ applicable maximum rates and charges set forth in the Statement of Rates of its Tariff continue to apply.

2.    Customer acknowledges that it is electing Negotiated Rates as an alternative to the rates and charges set forth in the Statement of Rates of Equitrans’ Tariff applicable to Rate Schedule FTS, as revised from time to time.

3.    This Exhibit C is effective 1/1/2022 and continues in full force and effect through the first day of the month immediately following the date on which Equitrans, L.P. is authorized by FERC to commence service on the OVCX Project (“OVCX In-Service Date”).

4.    In the event any provision of this Exhibit C is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable by any court, regulatory agency, or tribunal of competent jurisdiction, the validity, legality, and enforceability of the remaining provisions, terms or conditions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby, and the term, condition, or provision which is held illegal or invalid shall be deemed modified to conform to such rule of law, but only for the period of time such order, rule, regulation, or law is in effect.

5.    Other Special Provisions:

None.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Customer and Equitrans have executed this Exhibit C by their duly authorized officers, effective as of the date indicated above.
