The base rate cost of gas utilized in the calculation of the Gas Cost Adjustment rates specified
on Sheet No. 51 and in accordance with the Order of the Indiana Utility Regulatory
Commission in Cause No. 43377 is as follows:
Gas Rate Base Rate Cost of Gas ALL SERVICE $0.0000/Dth
The billed amount for each Residential Gas Service General Gas Service, Large Volume Gas Sales Service, Large
Volume Gas Transportation Service, or School Transportation customer, who is deemed to be heat sensitive shall be
subject to a Normal Temperature Adjustment (NTA) for each bill rendered during the billing months of October through
April inclusive.
The NTA adjusts each Customer's monthly billed amount to reverse the impact on margin recovery caused by non-normal
temperatures during the billing period, as measured by actual heating degree day variations from normal heating degree
days.
NTA COMPUTATION
The NTA for each Customer's monthly billing shall be computed as follows:
NTA = NTA Therms x NTA Margin
NTA THERMS
The NTA Therms usage for each Customer to which the NTA Margin shall be applied is computed as follows:
NTA Therms = [Actual Usage - Base Load Usage] x [Normal Degree Days - Actual Degree Days]
Actual Degree Days
NTA MARGIN
The NTA Margin shall be the margin (non-gas cost) component of the tail block rate (Base Rate Less Base Rate Cost of
Gas) for the applicable Rate Schedule.
BASE LOAD THERMS
Base Load Therms shall be Customer's average daily therms usage for the previous summer months (months of July and
August) multiplied by the number of days in the billing period.

Transportation Service under the Large Volume Gas Transportation Service and the School
Transportation Service..
NOMINATION PROVISIONS
At least ten (10) days prior to the beginning of each month, Customer shall provide Company
with nominations specifying the daily volumes of gas to be delivered into the Company's
system for Customer's account. Intra-month daily nomination changes shall be allowed by the
Company, provided the delivering pipeline will accept the nomination change, and only if such
change will not prevent the Company from acquiring that amount of gas that the Company has
nominated for its firm service customers during such period.
The Customer shall be obligated to notify Company of the exact daily quantity of its nomination
to the delivering pipeline of Customer-owned gas to be delivered to Company at pipeline
delivery points agreeable to Company (Daily Pipeline Nomination). Customer must provide
the notice specified above prior to each change in Customer's Daily Pipeline Nomination by
submitting to Company the nomination via facsimile, by no later than 10:00 AM Central Clock
Time ("CCT") of the workday previous to the start date of the Daily Pipeline Nomination.
Company may accept nominations submitted after the deadlines specified above within its
reasonable discretion. Until Customer submits the required nomination, Customer's
nominations of daily quantities shall be zero.
The nomination form shall include the following information:
1. Start and end dates of nomination (Nomination Period);
2. Daily quantity, in dekatherms, of Customer's Daily Pipeline Nomination (Daily
Transportation Nomination) along with;
a. Delivering pipeline;
b. Shipper on the delivering pipeline;
c. Transportation contract number;
d. The pipeline delivery points and quantities; and
e. Any other information reasonably required by company to properly identify and
apply Customer's Daily Transportation Nomination.
Unless otherwise permitted by Company, the Nomination Period shall not exceed thirty-one
days. When Customer is not the shipper on a pipeline, Customer shall cause the shipper to
provide Company with a written statement detailing Customer's actual deliveries under
Customer's Daily Pipeline Nomination during each Nomination Period by no later than one day
following the end of the billing month.Customer shall pay a NOMINATION ERROR CHARGE of $0.50 per dekatherm on the
quantity difference between Customer's Daily Transportation Nomination and the actual
deliveries under Customer's Daily Pipeline Nomination for each day such difference occurs.
BALANCING PROVISIONS
Customer shall be obligated to balance its total usage with the total deliveries of Customerowned
gas by the pipeline, as adjusted for prior month Over-Delivery Gas made available to
Customer on an average daily basis or prior month Under-Delivery Gas made up by Customer
on an average daily basis. An imbalance Quantity shall exist when the Customer's total usage
is greater than or less than its total deliveries on a daily basis and/or a monthly basis. For
purposes of applying the Daily and Monthly Balancing Provisions, the following definitions
shall apply:
Daily Index Price: The Daily Midpoint Prices as reported in Gas Daily in the table "Daily
Price Survey."
Monthly Index Price: The monthly index reported in Inside FERC's Gas Market Report,
in the table "Prices of Spot Gas Delivered to Interstate Pipelines."
Daily Imbalance Provisions: Customer shall pay Company the following Daily Imbalance
Charge on the portion of the Daily Imbalance Quantity that is greater than 9% of Total Daily
Usage:
• 0.2 times the Daily Index Price on the portion of the Daily Imbalance Quantity that is
greater than 9%, up to and including 20% of Total Daily Usage: plus
• 0.4 times the Daily Index Price on the portion of the Daily Imbalance Quantity that is
greater than 20% of Total Daily Usage.
During an Operational Flow Order ("OFO"), the aforementioned Daily Balancing Provisions will
be replaced by those specified in the section entitled Operational Flow Orders. During a Warm
Weather OFO, Daily Under-Delivery Imbalance Quantities shall not be assessed the Daily
Imbalance Charge. During a Cold Weather OFO, Daily Over-Delivery Imbalance Quantities
shall not be assessed the Daily Imbalance Charge.Monthly Imbalance Provisions: Monthly Imbalance Quantities shall be carried forward to the
following month and shall be considered to be received from Customer on an average daily
basis in the following month. Customer shall pay Company the following Monthly Imbalance
Charge on the portion of the Monthly Imbalance Quantity that is greater than 5% of Total
Monthly Usage:
• 0.2 times the Monthly Index Price on the portion of the Monthly Imbalance Quantity that
is greater than 5%, up to and including 15% of actual usage, plus
• 0.4 times the Monthly Index Price on the portion of the Monthly Imbalance Quantity that
is greater than 15% of actual usage.
OPERATIONAL FLOW ORDERS
Customer agrees, when requested by the Company through an Operational Flow Order
("OFO"), to nominate and deliver gas supply to the Company's city gate in the manner
instructed by the Company. Company may call a Cold Weather OFO or a Warm Weather
OFO where such action is necessary, in the Company's sole judgment, to (1) protect the
reliability of the Company's gas system; (2) assure deliveries of gas supplies to all of the
Company's Firm Customers, (3) adhere to the various interstate pipeline companies' balancing
requirements, as stated in their FERC-approved gas tariffs under which the Company is
served, and/or (4) avoid high priced daily purchases detrimental to system supply Sales
Customers.
During an Operational Flow Order Over-deliveries or Under-deliveries in excess of the quantity
allowed shall be subject to an OFO Daily Imbalance Charge of fifteen dollars ($15.00) per
dekatherm in addition to the normally applicable Daily Imbalance Charge.
WAIVER OF CHARGES
In its reasonable discretion, on a case-by-case basis, the Company may waive all or part of the
provisions herein; provided, however, that the waiver of such provisions shall be exercised on
a non-discriminatory basis.
