Standards (&#147;IFRS&#148;), a comprehensive series of accounting standards published by the
International Accounting Standards Board (&#147;IASB&#148;). Under the proposed roadmap, we may be
required to prepare our financial statements in accordance with IFRS as early as 2014. The SEC
will make a determination in 2011 regarding the mandatory adoption of IFRS. In July&nbsp;2009, the
IASB issued an exposure draft of &#147;Rate-regulated Activities,&#148; which sets out the scope,
recognition and measurement criteria, and accounting disclosures for assets and liabilities that
arise in the context of cost-of-service regulation, to which our rate-regulated businesses are

Standards Update (&#147;ASU&#148;) 2010-06, &#147;Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820):
Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements.&#148; This ASU requires certain new disclosures
and clarifies certain existing disclosure requirements about fair value measurement, as set
forth in FASB Accounting Standards Codification (&#147;ASC&#148;) Subtopic 820-10. The FASB&#146;s objective is
to improve these disclosures and, thus, increase the transparency in financial reporting.
Specifically, ASU 2010-06 amends ASC Subtopic 820-10 to now require a reporting entity to
disclose separately the amounts of significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair
value measurements and describe the reasons for the transfers; and, in the reconciliation for
fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs, a reporting entity should present
separate information about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements. In addition, ASU
2010-06 clarifies certain requirements of the existing disclosures. We adopted the disclosures
required by this ASU in the first quarter of 2010, except for disclosures about purchases,
sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll-forward of activity in Level 3 fair
value measurements. Those disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning after December
15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. We currently do not have any assets
or liabilities that would require Level 3 fair value measurements. Adoption of this ASU did not
have an impact on our condensed consolidated financial position and results of operations.</DIV></TD>

period in which those costs are incurred, rather than including them as a component of
consideration transferred. It also prohibits an accrual of certain restructuring costs at the
time of the merger. As we intend to seek recovery in future rates in Florida of a certain
portion of the purchase premium paid and merger-related costs incurred, we also considered the
impact of ASC Topic 980, &#147;Regulated Operations,&#148; in determining the proper accounting treatment
for the merger-related costs. As of March&nbsp;31, 2010, we incurred approximately $3.0&nbsp;million in
costs to consummate the merger, including the cost associated with merger-related litigation,
and integrating operations following the merger. This includes $40,000 incurred during the
three months ended March&nbsp;31, 2010. We deferred approximately $1.5&nbsp;million of the total costs
incurred as a regulatory asset at March&nbsp;31, 2010, which represents our estimate, based on
similar proceedings in Florida in the past, of the costs which we expect to be permitted to
recover when we complete the appropriate rate proceedings.</DIV></TD>

purchased the operating assets of Virginia LP Gas, Inc., a regional propane distributor serving
approximately 1,000 retail customers in Northampton and Accomack Counties in Virginia. The
total consideration for the purchase was $600,000, of which $300,000 was paid at the closing and
the remaining $300,000 will be paid over 60&nbsp;months. Based on our preliminary valuation, we
allocated $412,000 of the purchase price to property, plant and equipment and the remaining
$188,000 to intangible assets. There was no goodwill recorded in connection with this
acquisition. The intangible assets acquired include customer relationships ($85,000) and
non-compete agreements ($103,000), which will both be amortized over a seven-year period. The
revenue and net income from this acquisition that are included in our condensed consolidated
statement of income for the three months ended March&nbsp;31, 2010 were not material. The allocation
of purchase price is preliminary and we will complete the purchase price allocation as soon as
practicable but no later than one year from the purchase of the assets.</DIV></TD>

division to PESCO, if any. Accordingly, if the Hearing Examiner&#146;s recommendation were approved
without modification by the Delaware PSC and if the Delaware division temporarily released any
capacity to PESCO, the Delaware division would have to credit to its firm service customers
amounts equal to the maximum tariff rates that the Delaware division pays for long-term
capacity, even though the temporary releases were made at lower rates based on competitive
bidding procedures required by the FERC&#146;s capacity release rules. We disagreed with the Hearing
Examiner&#146;s recommendations and filed exceptions to those recommendations on February&nbsp;18, 2010.
At the hearing on March&nbsp;30, 2010, the Delaware PSC agreed with us that the Delaware division had
been releasing capacity based on a previous settlement approved by the Delaware PSC and
therefore, did not require the Delaware division to issue any refunds for past capacity
releases. The Delaware PSC, however, required the Delaware division to adhere to asymmetrical
pricing principles for future capacity releases to PESCO until a more appropriate pricing
methodology is developed and approved. We expect the Delaware PSC to issue an order in May&nbsp;2010
outlining its decisions at the March hearing. The Delaware PSC&#146;s decision with regard to future
capacity releases to PESCO contemplates that the parties will reconvene in a separate docket to
determine if a pricing methodology other than asymmetrical pricing principles should apply to
future capacity release by the Delaware division to PESCO.</DIV></TD>

expect to contribute $450,000 and $1.6&nbsp;million to the Chesapeake and FPU pension plans,
respectively, in 2010, of which $377,000 has been contributed for the FPU pension plan during
the three months ended March&nbsp;31, 2010. The Chesapeake SERP, the Chesapeake Postretirement Plan
and the FPU Medical Plan are unfunded and are expected to be paid out of our general funds. Cash
benefits paid under the Chesapeake SERP for the three months ended March&nbsp;31, 2010, were $22,000;
for the year 2010, such benefits paid are expected to be approximately $88,000. Cash benefits
paid for the Chesapeake Postretirement Plan and the FPU Medical Plan, primarily for medical
claims, for the three months ended March&nbsp;31, 2010, totaled $17,000 and $20,000, respectively;
for the year 2010, we have estimated that approximately $115,000 and $144,000, respectively,

30, 2010, a companion bill, the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010, was also
signed into law. Among other things, these new laws, when taken together, reduce the tax
benefits available to an employer that receives the Medicare Part&nbsp;D subsidy. The deferred tax
effects of the reduced deductibility of the postretirement prescription drug coverage must be
recognized in the period these new laws were enacted. The FPU Medical Plan receives the
Medicare Part&nbsp;D subsidy. We assessed the deferred tax effects on the reduced deductibility as a
result of these new laws during the three months ended March&nbsp;31, 2010 and determined that the
deferred tax effects were not material to our financial results.</DIV></TD>

<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt"><I>The following discussions and those later in the document on operating income and segment results
include use of the term &#147;gross margin.&#148; Gross margin is determined by deducting the cost of sales
from operating revenue. Cost of sales includes the purchased cost of natural gas, electricity and
propane and the cost of labor spent on direct revenue-producing activities. Gross margin should not
be considered an alternative to operating income or net income, which are determined in accordance
with GAAP. We believe that gross margin, although a non-GAAP measure, is useful and meaningful to
investors as a basis for making investment decisions. It provides investors with information that
demonstrates the profitability achieved by the Company under its allowed rates for regulated energy
operations and under its competitive pricing structure for unregulated natural gas marketing and
propane distribution operations. Our management uses gross margin in measuring our business units&#146;
performance and has historically analyzed and reported gross margin information publicly. Other
companies may calculate gross margin in a different manner.</I>

to replace the GAAP measures for evaluation of our performance, we believe that the portions of
the presentation, which include only the FPU results, or which excludes FPU&#146;s financial

<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">FPU&#146;s results for the first quarter of 2010 were positively affected by the increased natural
gas and propane sales driven primarily by the colder than normal temperatures in Florida compared
to the prior year, the increased natural gas gross margin resulting from the settlement of the
permanent rate increase proceeding and lower interest expense following the redemption of two
outstanding bond series and refinancing at short-term rates after the merger. FPU&#146;s propane
results for the first quarter of 2010 also include approximately $390,000 in gross margin generated
from customers transferred from Chesapeake to FPU after the merger in an effort to integrate
operations.

$300,000 in additional gross margin in the

    <TD><DIV style="text-align: justify"><I>Growth</I>. Our Delmarva natural gas distribution operation experienced two-percent
residential customer growth in the first quarter of 2010. Including the increase in
commercial and industrial customers, growth in our Delmarva natural gas distribution
operation contributed approximately $443,000 in period-over-period additional gross margin.
New transmission services and new expansion facilities placed in service during 2009 by
our natural gas transmission subsidiary, ESNG, contributed an additional gross margin of
$323,000 in the first quarter of 2010 compared to the same period in 2009. Chesapeake&#146;s
Florida natural gas distribution division experienced a period-over-period net customer
loss, primarily from the loss of several large industrial customers in 2009 due to economic
conditions in the region, which decreased gross margin by $34,000.</DIV></TD>

    <TD><DIV style="text-align: justify"><I>Propane Prices</I>. During the first half of 2009, our Delmarva propane distribution
operation benefited from increased margin generated from the lower propane costs, largely
attributable to inventory valuation adjustments in late 2008. The average propane cost in
the first quarter of 2010 was 28 percent higher than the average propane cost in the same
period in 2009, which decreased gross margin by $614,000. Increased volatility in
wholesale propane prices provided opportunities for our propane wholesale marketing
subsidiary, Xeron, as its trading volume increased by 12&nbsp;percent in the first quarter of
2010 compared to the same period in 2009, increasing its gross margin by $405,000.</DIV></TD>

natural gas marketing subsidiary, PESCO, benefited from increased spot sales on the
Delmarva Peninsula. Although PESCO continued to identify spot sale opportunities on the
Delmarva Peninsula during the first quarter of 2010, the decreased spot sales, largely due
to reduced sales to one industrial customer, resulted in a decrease in gross margin of
$599,000 in the first quarter of 2010 compared to the same period in 2009. Spot sales are
not predictable, and, therefore, are not included in our long-term financial plans or
forecasts.</DIV></TD>

<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">Chesapeake&#146;s Florida natural gas distribution operation, excluding FPU, experienced an increase in
gross margin of $892,000 in the first quarter of 2010. Approximately $600,000 of this increase was
attributable to a permanent rate increase approved on December&nbsp;15, 2009 (applicable to all meters
read on or after January&nbsp;14, 2010) by the Florida PSC. The increase was also attributable to
increased customer consumption, which was heavily affected by the colder weather in Florida in the
first quarter of 2010 and contributed $245,000 to the gross margin during the period. A decrease of
$34,000 in gross margin due primarily to a loss of several large industrial customers in 2009 due
to economic conditions in the region, was almost fully offset by an increase in gross margin of
$33,000 attributable to increased consumption by existing industrial customers. Also gross margin
increased by $41,000 as a result of changes in rates for certain customers.

benefited from increased spot sales on the Delmarva Peninsula. Although PESCO continued to
identify spot sale opportunities on the Delmarva Peninsula during the first quarter of 2010, the
decreased spot sales, largely due to reduced sales to one industrial customer, resulted in a
decrease in gross margin of $599,000 in the first quarter of 2010 compared to the same period in
2009. Spot sales are not predictable, and, therefore, are not included in our long-term financial

advanced information services operation was able to maintain its gross margin in the first quarter

<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">We recorded an income tax expense of $9.2&nbsp;million for the three months ended March&nbsp;31, 2010,
compared to $5.8&nbsp;million for the three months ended March&nbsp;31, 2009. The increase in income tax
expense primarily reflects the higher earnings for the period. The effective income tax rate for
the first quarter of 2010 is 39.6&nbsp;percent compared to an effective tax rate of 40.2&nbsp;percent for the
first quarter of 2009. The decreased effective income tax rate resulted from a greater portion of
our consolidated pre-tax income having been generated from entities in states with lower income tax
rates, largely as a result of our expansion in Florida operations through the merger with FPU.

attributable to investment in new plant and equipment and retirement of outstanding debt. We rely

bank lines are available to provide funds for our short-term cash needs to meet seasonal working
capital requirements and to fund temporarily portions of the capital expenditure program. We are
currently authorized by our Board of Directors to borrow up to $85.0&nbsp;million of short-term debt, as
required, from these short-term lines of credit. Advances offered under the uncommitted lines of
credit are subject to the discretion of the banks. In addition to the four unsecured bank lines of
credit, we entered into a new credit facility for $29.1&nbsp;million with one of the financial
institutions in March&nbsp;2010. We borrowed $29.1&nbsp;million under this new credit facility for a term of
nine months to finance the early redemption of two series of FPU&#146;s secured first mortgage bonds.
The outstanding balance of short-term borrowing at March&nbsp;31, 2010 and December&nbsp;31, 2009 was $29.1

<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">We have budgeted $53.9&nbsp;million for capital expenditures during 2010. This amount includes $49.2

capital expenditures for the following: natural gas distribution operation ($20.2&nbsp;million), natural
gas transmission operation ($25.4&nbsp;million) and electric distribution operation ($3.6&nbsp;million) for
expansion and improvement of facilities. The amount for the unregulated energy segment includes
estimated capital expenditures for the propane distribution operations for customer growth and

expenditure of $288,000 for the advanced information services operation with the remaining balance
for other general plant, computer software and hardware. We expect to fund the 2010 capital
expenditures program from short-term borrowing, cash provided by operating activities, and other

capital requirements may vary from the above estimates due to a number of factors, including
changing economic conditions, customer growth in existing areas, regulation, new growth or

<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt"><B>Competition</B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">Our natural gas and electric distribution operations and our natural gas transmission operation
compete with other forms of energy including natural gas, electricity, oil and propane. The
principal competitive factors are price and, to a lesser extent, accessibility. Our natural gas
distribution operations have several large-volume industrial customers that are able to use fuel
oil as an alternative to natural gas. When oil prices decline, these interruptible customers may
convert to oil to satisfy their fuel requirements, and our interruptible sales volumes may decline.
Oil prices, as well as the prices of other fuels, fluctuate for a variety of reasons; therefore,
future competitive conditions are not predictable. To address this uncertainty, we use flexible
pricing arrangements on both the supply and sales sides of this business to compete with
alternative fuel price fluctuations. As a result of the transmission operation&#146;s conversion to open
access and Chesapeake&#146;s Florida natural gas distribution division&#146;s restructuring of its services,
these businesses have shifted from providing bundled transportation and sales service to providing
only transmission and contract storage services. Our electric distribution operation currently
does not face substantial competition as the electric utility industry in Florida has not been
deregulated. In addition, natural gas is the only viable alternative fuel to electricity in our
electric service territories and is available only in a small area.

<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">Our natural gas distribution operations in Delaware, Maryland and Florida offer unbundled
transportation services to certain commercial and industrial customers. In 2002, Chesapeake&#146;s
Florida natural gas distribution division extended such service to residential customers. With such
transportation service available on our distribution systems, we are competing with third-party
suppliers to sell gas to industrial customers. With respect to unbundled transportation services,
our competitors include interstate transmission companies, if the distribution customers are
located close enough to a transmission company&#146;s pipeline to make connections economically
feasible. The customers at risk are usually large volume commercial and industrial customers with
the financial resources and capability to bypass our existing distribution operations in this
manner. In certain situations, our distribution operations may adjust services and rates for these
customers to retain their business. We expect to continue to expand the availability of unbundled
transportation service to additional classes of distribution customers in the future. We have also
established a natural gas marketing operation in Florida, Delaware and Maryland to provide such
service to customers eligible for unbundled transportation services.
</DIV>


<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">Our propane distribution operations compete with several other propane distributors in their
respective geographic markets, primarily on the basis of service and price, emphasizing responsive
and reliable service. Our competitors generally include local outlets of national distributors and
local independent distributors, whose proximity to customers entails lower costs to provide
service. Propane competes with electricity as an energy source, because it is typically less
expensive than electricity, based on equivalent BTU value. Propane also competes with home heating
oil as an energy source. Since natural gas has historically been less expensive than propane,
propane is generally not distributed in geographic areas served by natural gas pipeline or
distribution systems.
</DIV>


<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">The propane wholesale marketing operation competes against various regional and national marketers,
many of which have significantly greater resources and are able to obtain price or volumetric
advantages.
</DIV>


<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">The advanced information services business faces significant competition from a number of larger
competitors having substantially greater resources available to them than does the Company. In
addition, changes in the advanced information services business are occurring rapidly, and could
adversely affect the markets for the products and services offered by these businesses. This
segment competes on the basis of technological expertise, reputation and price.
</DIV>


<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt"><B>Inflation</B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">Inflation affects the cost of supply, labor, products and services required for operations,
maintenance and capital improvements. While the impact of inflation has remained low in recent
years, natural gas and propane prices are subject to rapid fluctuations. In the regulated natural
gas and electric distribution operations, fluctuations in natural gas and electricity prices are
passed on to customers through the fuel cost recovery mechanism in our tariffs. To help cope with
the effects of inflation on our capital investments and returns, we seek rate increases from
regulatory commissions for our regulated operations and closely monitor the returns of our
unregulated business operations. To compensate for fluctuations in propane gas prices, we adjust
propane selling prices to the extent allowed by the market.

market interest rate that is based on published corporate borrowing rates for debt instruments with
similar terms and average maturities with adjustments for duration, optionality, credit risk, and

<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">Our propane distribution business is exposed to market risk as a result of propane storage
activities and entering into fixed price contracts for supply. We can store up to approximately
four million gallons (including leased storage and rail cars) of propane during the winter season
to meet our customers&#146; peak requirements and to serve metered customers. Decreases in the wholesale
price of propane may cause the value of stored propane to decline. To mitigate the impact of price
fluctuations, we have adopted a Risk Management Policy that allows the propane distribution
operation to enter into fair value hedges or other economic hedges of our inventory.
</DIV>


<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">Our propane wholesale marketing operation is a party to natural gas liquids forward contracts,
primarily propane contracts, with various third-parties. These contracts require that the propane
wholesale marketing operation purchase or sell natural gas liquids at a fixed price at fixed future
dates. At expiration, the contracts are settled by the delivery of natural gas liquids to us or the
counter-party or &#147;booking out&#148; the transaction. Booking out is a procedure for financially settling
a contract in lieu of the physical delivery of energy. The propane wholesale marketing operation
also enters into futures contracts that are traded on the New York Mercantile Exchange. In certain
cases, the futures contracts are settled by the payment or receipt of a net amount equal to the
difference between the current market price of the futures contract and the original contract
price; however, they may also be settled by physical receipt or delivery of propane.
</DIV>


<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">The forward and futures contracts are entered into for trading and wholesale marketing purposes.
The propane wholesale marketing business is subject to commodity price risk on its open positions
to the extent that market prices for natural gas liquids deviate from fixed contract settlement
prices. Market risk associated with the trading of futures and forward contracts is monitored daily
for compliance with our Risk Management Policy, which includes volumetric limits for open
positions. To manage exposures to changing market prices, open positions are marked up or down to
market prices and reviewed daily by our oversight officials. In addition, the Risk Management
Committee reviews periodic reports on markets and the credit risk of counter-parties, approves any
exceptions to the Risk Management Policy (within limits established by the Board of Directors) and
authorizes the use of any new
types of contracts. Quantitative information on forward and futures contracts at March&nbsp;31, 2010 is
presented in the following tables.

forward-looking statements contained in this Report. Additional risks and uncertainties
not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial also may affect the

results of operations and cash flows.</I></B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; margin-left: 4%">On April&nbsp;8, 2010, we entered into a Precedent Agreement with TETLP to secure firm
transportation service from TETLP in connection with its new expansion projects. As a
result of this new transportation service, we would have access to new supplies of
natural gas, providing increased reliability and diversity. The Precedent Agreement
specifies certain events that would require us to reimburse TETLP for our proportionate
share (prorated based on our total commitment of 40,000 Dts/d and the TETLP project
total of 190,000 Dts/d) of TETLP&#146;s pre-service costs incurred as of such events. One
such event would be the parties&#146; inability to agree within a specified time period upon
a mutually acceptable negotiated reservation rate for the firm transportation service.
Other such events include termination of the Precedent Agreement by us, our
unwillingness or inability to perform our material duties and obligations as specified
in the Precedent Agreement, or certain other actions by us that result in TETLP&#146;s
inability to obtain the authorizations and exemptions required for this project. We
believe that the likelihood of such events occurring that would require us to reimburse
TETLP for our proportionate share of TETLP&#146;s pre-service costs pursuant to the Precedent
Agreement is remote. If such unlikely events were to occur, we estimate that our
proportionate share of TETLP&#146;s pre-service costs could be approximately $4.7&nbsp;million by
December&nbsp;31, 2010. If we were to terminate the Precedent Agreement after TETLP
completed its construction of all facilities, our proportionate share could be as much
as approximately $45&nbsp;million. The actual amount of our proportionate share could differ
significantly and would ultimately be based on the level of pre-service costs only if
and when that any such event occurs.

equal to the lesser of five percent (5%) of the amount of such payment or $100.00 (the <B>&#147;Late

the capital costs associated with construction of the Project facilities and the related negotiated
Reservation Rate. At the same time that Pipeline provides such capital cost estimate and
negotiated Reservation Rate to Customer, Pipeline shall also tender to Customer two (2)&nbsp;negotiated
rate agreements, in the form set forth in Exhibits A and A-1 hererto, with the blanks for capital
costs, negotiated Reservation Rate and the formula for the adjustment to the negotiated Reservation
Rate filled in a manner consistent with such capital cost estimate and negotiated Reservation Rate.
Pipeline and Customer shall promptly execute such negotiated rate agreements; provided, however,
Customer shall not be obligated to execute the negotiated rate agreements, if the negotiated
Reservation Rates set forth therein are higher than the range of negotiated Reservation Rates
provided in clause (2)&nbsp;of this Paragraph&nbsp;4(B) and such higher
negotiated Reservation Rates cause the value of the commercial transaction with respect to the
natural gas to be transported under the Service Agreements to be uneconomic to Customer, as
determined by Customer in its good faith reasonable discretion.

designated herein, as further described herein; provided, if Customer amends the Service Agreement
to change one or more of its primary points listed above pursuant to the provisions of Pipeline&#146;s
FERC Gas Tariff, Pipeline shall have the option to terminate this negotiated rate by providing
Customer with written notice of Pipeline&#146;s intent to terminate the negotiated rate and, in such

provided, further that following the term of this negotiated rate as such term is described above,
Pipeline&#146;s maximum recourse rates referenced above shall apply for any remaining term under the

<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">3/ Pipeline and Customer acknowledge that the Capital Costs attributable to the Project facilities
which underlie the monthly Reservation Charge described in the Reservation Rate section above are
reasonably estimated to be $&#091;tbd dollars&#093;. Such estimate of Capital Costs is expected to be
substantially the same as the estimated Project capital costs reflected in the Exhibit&nbsp;K included
with the certificate application filed by Pipeline with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
(&#147;Commission&#148;) for the Project. The monthly Reservation Charge shall be adjusted, pursuant to the
formula set forth in this footnote 3, solely to reflect any differences between the estimated
$&#091;tbd&#093; and the amount of Capital Costs attributable to the Project facilities reflected by
Pipeline in an amended Exhibit&nbsp;K that is filed by Pipeline with the Commission in the certificate
proceeding regarding the Project. Pipeline shall prepare such amended Exhibit&nbsp;K in accordance
with Section&nbsp;157.14(a)(13) of Title 18 of the Code of Federal Regulations and such amended Exhibit
K shall reflect Pipeline&#146;s reasonable good faith estimate at the time of the total Capital Costs
attributable to the Project, and Pipeline shall file such amended Exhibit&nbsp;K at least thirty (30)
days, but no more than sixty (60)&nbsp;days, prior to the in-service date of the Project, as such
in-service date is estimated to occur by Pipeline at the time (&#147;Amended Exhibit&nbsp;K&#148;).
</DIV>

<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">Such monthly Reservation Charge shall be adjusted by an amount per Dth of MDQ equal to $0.3042
(equivalent to $0.01 per Dth per Day) for each $&#091;tbd&#093; million increment of Capital Costs as
reflected in the Amended Exhibit&nbsp;K above or below the estimated $&#091;tbd&#093; amount (to be clear, the
Reservation Charge adjustment will occur to the fourth decimal point and thus the rate may be
adjusted in increments as small as $0.0001 per Dth per Day); provided, if the Capital Costs
reflected in the Amended Exhibit&nbsp;K exceed 15% above the estimated Capital Costs of $&#091;tbd&#093;, then
the amount used for the Reservation Charge adjustment shall be deemed to be 1.15 multiplied by the
estimated Capital Costs, and if the Capital Costs reflected in the Cost Report are more than 10%
below the estimated Capital Costs of $&#091;tbd&#093;, then the amount used for the Reservation Charge
adjustment shall be deemed to be .90 multiplied by the estimated Capital Costs.
</DIV>

<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">For purposes of this Negotiated Rate Agreement, (1)&nbsp;the term &#147;Project&#148; shall mean the Project as
generally described in the recitals to the Precedent Agreement between the Parties regarding
construction of facilities necessary to provide the service contemplated in the Service Agreement,
and as more specifically described in the certificate application, as amended, related to such
facilities on file with the Commission, and(2) the term &#147;Capital Costs&#148; means the total capital
costs incurred by Pipeline for the development and construction of the Project, including, without
limitation, the allowance for funds used during construction, as such costs are reflected in the
Amended Exhibit&nbsp;K, including all costs incurred to the date of the Amended Exhibit&nbsp;K and estimated
to be incurred for final completion of the applicable project.

designated herein, as further described herein; provided, if Customer amends the Service Agreement
to change one or more of its primary points listed above pursuant to the provisions of Pipeline&#146;s
FERC Gas Tariff, Pipeline shall have the option to terminate this negotiated rate by providing
Customer with written notice of Pipeline&#146;s intent to terminate the negotiated rate and, in such

provided, further that following the term of this negotiated rate as such term is described above,
Pipeline&#146;s maximum recourse rates referenced above shall apply for any remaining term under the

<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">3/ Pipeline and Customer acknowledge that the Capital Costs attributable to the Project facilities
which underlie the monthly Reservation Charge described in the Reservation Rate section above are
reasonably estimated to be $&#091;tbd dollars&#093;. Such estimate of Capital Costs is expected to be
substantially the same as the estimated Project capital costs reflected in the Exhibit&nbsp;K included
with the certificate application filed by Pipeline with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
(&#147;Commission&#148;) for the Project. The monthly Reservation Charge shall be adjusted, pursuant to the
formula set forth in this footnote 3, solely to reflect any differences between the estimated
$&#091;tbd&#093; and the amount of Capital Costs attributable to the Project facilities reflected by
Pipeline in an amended Exhibit&nbsp;K that is filed by Pipeline with the Commission in the certificate
proceeding regarding the Project. Pipeline shall prepare such amended Exhibit&nbsp;K in accordance
with Section&nbsp;157.14(a)(13) of Title 18 of the Code of Federal Regulations and such amended Exhibit
K shall reflect Pipeline&#146;s reasonable good faith estimate at the time of the total Capital Costs
attributable to the Project, and Pipeline shall file such amended Exhibit&nbsp;K at least thirty (30)
days, but no more than sixty (60)&nbsp;days, prior to the in-service date of the Project, as such
in-service date is estimated to occur by Pipeline at the time (&#147;Amended Exhibit&nbsp;K&#148;).
</DIV>

<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">Such monthly Reservation Charge shall be adjusted by an amount per Dth of MDQ equal to $0.3042
(equivalent to $0.01 per Dth per Day) for each $&#091;tbd&#093; million increment of Capital Costs as
reflected in the Amended Exhibit&nbsp;K above or below the estimated $&#091;tbd&#093; amount (to be clear, the
Reservation Charge adjustment will occur to the fourth decimal point and thus the rate may be
adjusted in increments as small as $0.0001 per Dth per Day); provided, if the Capital Costs
reflected in the Amended Exhibit&nbsp;K exceed 15% above the estimated Capital Costs of $&#091;tbd&#093;, then
the amount used for the Reservation Charge adjustment shall be deemed to be 1.15 multiplied by the
estimated Capital Costs, and if the Capital Costs reflected in the Cost Report are more than 10%
below the estimated Capital Costs of $&#091;tbd&#093;, then the amount used
for the Reservation Charge adjustment shall be deemed to be .90 multiplied by the estimated
Capital Costs.
</DIV>

<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">For purposes of this Negotiated Rate Agreement, (1)&nbsp;the term &#147;Project&#148; shall mean the Project as
generally described in the recitals to the Precedent Agreement between the Parties regarding
construction of facilities necessary to provide the service contemplated in the Service Agreement,
and as more specifically described in the certificate application, as amended, related to such
facilities on file with the Commission, and(2) the term &#147;Capital Costs&#148; means the total capital
costs incurred by Pipeline for the development and construction of the Project, including, without
limitation, the allowance for funds used during construction, as such costs are reflected in the
Amended Exhibit&nbsp;K, including all costs incurred to the date of the Amended Exhibit&nbsp;K and estimated
to be incurred for final completion of the applicable project.
