On August 1, 2025 in the above captioned docket, KEE submitted a tariff filing (“August

1 Filing”) that proposed the addition of a new Section 15 to the General Terms and Conditions

(“GT&C”), which would permit KEE to reserve, for future expansion or extension projects, any

available capacity, or capacity under expiring or terminating service agreements, where such

capacity is not subject to term extension rights.2

On August 13, 2025, the Indicated Shippers filed a protest to new GT&C Section 15

requesting that KEE file revised tariff language that incorporates additional information

requirements for reservation postings.3 KEE filed an Answer4 to the Indicated Shippers Protest

stating that it was willing to amend this provision by inserting language consistent with the

14.3(i) Transporter's Scheduling Authority.

Transporter shall have the right to act as a scheduling agent for a Shipper's account
if (i) the Shipper refuses to schedule Gas receipts as specified by an OFO issued
pursuant to Section 14.3(d) above; or (ii) if Transporter requires additional

quantities in less than the twenty-four (24) hour notice period normally required
for an OFO, and the Shipper has refused a verbal request to schedule the required
quantity of Gas.

14.3(j) Reporting.

Within a reasonable time period after an OFO terminates, Transporter will post a
report containing information on the factors that caused the OFO to be imposed

and to be terminated.

15.

CAPACITY RESERVATION FOR EXPANSION/EXTENSION PROJECTS

To the extent Transporter has: (i) available capacity; or (ii) capacity under expiring or terminating service
agreements where such capacity is not subject to a Right of First Refusal or any other term extension rights,

Transporter reserves the right, but shall not be obligated, to reserve such capacity for a future expansion or
extension project. Transporter may reserve capacity for a future expansion or extension project for which an
auction has been held or will be held within twelve (12) months of the date on which Transporter posts such
capacity as being reserved. Any capacity reserved pursuant to this Section 15 must first be posted as available
capacity on Transporter’s Informational Posting Site for at least five (5) Business Days. Transporter’s posting for
reserved capacity for future expansion/extension projects shall include the following information: (1) a
description of the project for which the capacity will be reserved; (2) the total quantity of capacity to be reserved;

(3) the location of the proposed reserved capacity on the pipeline system; (4) when Transporter anticipates that
an open season for the reserved capacity will be held or the reserved capacity will otherwise be posted for bids;
(5) the projected in-service date of the expansion/extension project; and (6) on an ongoing basis, how much of
the reserved capacity has been sold on a limited-term basis that would otherwise be eligible for a right of first
refusal. Any minimum terms and conditions imposed in an auction for capacity to be reserved must not
materially differ so as to be more restrictive than the terms and conditions imposed in the expansion or extension

project auction. In the event that a subsequent expansion or extension project auction imposes minimum terms
and conditions that are materially different from the minimum terms and conditions imposed for the reserved
capacity auction, Transporter shall hold another auction for the reserved capacity that uses the same minimum
terms and conditions as were imposed for the expansion or extension project auction. Any capacity reserved
under this Section 15 may be reserved for up to twelve (12) months prior to the date on which Transporter shall
file for certificate approval for proposed construction of a related project and thereafter until all expansion or
extension facilities are placed into service. Any capacity reserved for a future expansion or extension project that

does not go forward for any reason shall be reposted as generally available within thirty (30) days of the date
the reserved capacity becomes available.

16.

RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL (“ROFR”)

16.1

Purpose of Section. Subject to the procedures and conditions set forth in the following subsections of
this Section 16, a firm Shipper that is served by Transporter pursuant to a Transportation Agreement
under this Tariff with a primary term of one (1) year or longer at the currently effective maximum
reservation rate stated on Sheet No. 5, plus all applicable surcharges, shall be afforded a regulatory
right of first refusal, at the end of such primary term or any extension thereof of one (1) year or longer,

to continue its firm capacity entitlements under the Transportation Agreement. For purposes of this
Section 16, any such firm Shipper is hereinafter referred to as a "ROFR Shipper".

16.2

Limitation on Applicability of Section. If Transporter and the ROFR Shipper agree on the terms and
conditions of continued service before the posting of available capacity described in subsection 16.4 of
this Section 16, or if Transporter is willing to permit the automatic extension of the Transportation
Agreement in accordance with its terms, or if the ROFR Shipper has given notice of termination of the

Transportation Agreement in accordance with its terms, then Transporter shall forego the posting,
competitive bidding, and right of first refusal procedures of this Section 16.

14.3(i) Transporter's Scheduling Authority.

Transporter shall have the right to act as a scheduling agent for a Shipper's account
if (i) the Shipper refuses to schedule Gas receipts as specified by an OFO issued
pursuant to Section 14.3(d) above; or (ii) if Transporter requires additional
quantities in less than the twenty-four (24) hour notice period normally required
for an OFO, and the Shipper has refused a verbal request to schedule the required
quantity of Gas.

14.3(j) Reporting.

Within a reasonable time period after an OFO terminates, Transporter will post a
report containing information on the factors that caused the OFO to be imposed
and to be terminated.

15.

RESERVED FOR FUTURE USE CAPACITY RESERVATION FOR EXPANSION/EXTENSION PROJECTS

To the extent Transporter has: (i) available capacity; or (ii) capacity under expiring or terminating service
agreements where such capacity is not subject to a Right of First Refusal or any other term extension rights,
Transporter reserves the right, but shall not be obligated, to reserve such capacity for a future expansion or
extension project. Transporter may reserve capacity for a future expansion or extension project for which an
auction has been held or will be held within twelve (12) months of the date on which Transporter posts such
capacity as being reserved. Any capacity reserved pursuant to this Section 15 must first be posted as available
capacity on Transporter’s Informational Posting Site for at least five (5) Business Days. Transporter’s posting
for reserved capacity for future expansion/extension projects shall include the following information: (1) a
description of the project for which the capacity will be reserved; (2) the total quantity of capacity to be reserved;
(3) the location of the proposed reserved capacity on the pipeline system; (4) when Transporter anticipates that
an open season for the reserved capacity will be held or the reserved capacity will otherwise be posted for bids;
(5) the projected in-service date of the expansion/extension project; and (6) on an ongoing basis, how much of the
reserved capacity has been sold on a limited-term basis that would otherwise be eligible for a right of first refusal.
Any minimum terms and conditions imposed in an auction for capacity to be reserved must not materially differ
so as to be more restrictive than the terms and conditions imposed in the expansion or extension project auction.
In the event that a subsequent expansion or extension project auction imposes minimum terms and conditions
that are materially different from the minimum terms and conditions imposed for the reserved capacity auction,
Transporter shall hold another auction for the reserved capacity that uses the same minimum terms and
conditions as were imposed for the expansion or extension project auction. Any capacity reserved under this
Section 15 may be reserved for up to twelve (12) months prior to the date on which Transporter shall file for
certificate approval for proposed construction of a related project and thereafter until all expansion or extension
facilities are placed into service. Any capacity reserved for a future expansion or extension project that does not
go forward for any reason shall be reposted as generally available within thirty (30) days of the date the reserved
capacity becomes available.
