Dear Mr. Anderson:
The two-year term of your noncore Rate Schedule GT-F Schedule A - Intrastate
Transmission Service ("Schedule A") contract with Southern California Gas Company
(SoCalGas) expires August 1,2005. To renew service on Rate Schedule GT-F for
another two-year term, please sign and return both enclosed original Schedule A contracts
no later than July 11, 2005, for a contract effective date of August 1, 2005.
1 have attached information about your potential rate options. I would be happy to provide
you with a copy of any of our tariffs or you can view them at:
http://www.socalgas.com/requlatorV/tariffs/index tariffs.shtml. If you would like to change
rate schedules effective August 1, 2005, please notify me in writing no later than July 11,
2005.
If you do not execute a new Schedule A contract with SoCalGas as required by our
authorized tariff on or before July 31, 2005, or if you do not properly elect another rate
schedule that you qualify for, it will result in your gas service being assigned to month-to-
month noncore interruptible Rate Schedule GT-I for service effective August 1, 2005. '
Rate Schedule GT-I has a lower service priority than Rate Schedule GT-F in the event of
gas service curtailment as explained in SoCalGas' Tariff Rule 23.
VJ1T
In the event you are placed on Rate Schedule GT-I, you may elect to go back to Rate I
Schedule GT-F or elect another qualified core service rate at the beginning of any month,
provided that adequate firm capacity is available on the SoCalGas system in your area at
the time of your request and that you give SoCalGas 20 days written notice requesting the
rate schedule change.
For your convenience, I have enclosed a new Schedule A contract on Rate Schedule GT-
F,which includes new Monthly Schedu',d Quantities (MSG's) based on your historic gas
usage. An explanation of MSG's can be found on page two of the enclosed Addendum C:
Service Options and MSQs. To continue service on noncore rate schedule GT-F, please
sign and return both copies of the enclosed GT-F contracts by July 31, 2005, 1 will return
one original for your records.
If you have any questions or would like to discuss your contract renewal and rate options,
please call me at 909-335-3972.
Glad to be of Service

Addendum C: Service Options and MSQs
Service Options'-
You may have both noncore and core gas service options available to you,'and it is important to
determine which rate service is best for you.
Noncore
Currently, there are three noncore rate schedules to choose from: GT-F (firm—full requirements), GT-I
(interruptible) or GT-F Partial (firm—partial requirements). You may view these authorized tariffs at
www.socalgas.com or call your Account Executive for additional information. These service options are
summarized in Addendum A. Customers electing firm service Rate Schedule GT-F must agree to a two-
year term. Customers electing interruptible service Rate Schedule GT-I will be served on a month-to-
month basis. Customers may elect a combination of these two rate schedules under Rate Schedule GT-
F Partial Requirements, which combines features from Rate Schedules GT-F and GT-I. Rate Schedule
GT-F Partial Requirements allows you to designate volumes under firm and interruptible rates, thus
assigning a separate curtailment priority for each rate designation. You may also add a core rate option,
described below, to your contract.
Please note that Rate Schedule GT-I has a lower service priority in the event of curtailment pursuant to
SoCalGas'Tariff Rule 23. If you are on Rate Schedule GT-I, you may choose to go back to Rate
Schedule GT-F at the beginning of any month, provided that adequate firm capacity is available on the
SoCalGas system in your area at the time of your request and that you give SoCalGas 20 days prior
written notice.
Core
Core rate schedules have a higher service priority than noncore service in the event of curtailment.
Service under core service Rate Schedules GN-10, GT-10 and GT-10N is summarized in Addendum A.
Rate Schedule GN-10 is a fully-bundled service including gas commodity. If you area customer taking
service for gas air conditioning, agricultural water pumping, natural gas vehicles, or your facilities are in
the City of Vernon, please be sure to inquire about special tariff schedules you may qualify for. Core rate
schedules are not available to electric generators (EGs), refinery and enhanced oil recovery customers
with average usage exceeding 20,800 therms/month.2 Core rate schedules for commercial and industrial
customers may not be available in some areas.
Additional Requirements for Noncore-to-Core Transfers
"Grandfathered " noncore status is permanently lost once core service is elected. Subsequent requests
to return to noncore service will be based on then-effective eligibility requirements. Transferring from
noncore transportation service to core procurement service may require re-establishing credit. SoCalGas'
Tariff Rule 19 prohibits rate schedule changes more often than once per year in most situations.
Additionally, noncore customers electing to transfer to core service shall be required to 1) sign a contract
for a five-year commitment to core service, and 2) pay a "Cross-Over Rate" for the first 12-months.
The Cross-Over Rate is the higher of 1) the posted monthly core procurement rate or 2) an Adjusted
California Border Price. For more details, see rate schedule G-CP(NRC)
http://socalgas.com/requlatorv/tariffs/tm2/pdf/G-CPA.pdf.
'To view all of our tariffs,visit http//www.socalgas.com/requlatorv/tariffs/index tariffs shlml or call your Account Executive
'Pursuant to Rule No.23 regarding core EG,refinery,and enhanced oil recovery,usage cannot exceed 20,600 therms per active
month on an annualized basis for any period of 12 contiguous months within the most recent 24-month period.
'Customers receiving service under a commercial/industrial noncore rate schedule as of September 29, 1993 may continue to
receive noncore service regardless of size,consistent with the grandfathering of noncore customers established in D.93-09-082.
Customers who elect core service or close their facilities(excluding changes in name or ownership)shall no longer be eligible for
service under this noncore schedule in the future unless they meet the size requirements set forth for noncore customers under
Rule No.23, (See GT-F,Special Condition 7)

Monthly Scheduled Quantities ("MSQ")
MSQ volumes in GT-I Schedule A contracts and in Full Requirements GT-F Schedule A contracts do not
set a minimum or maximum usage requirement for the facility, except during curtailments as described
below.
Only customers with Partial Requirements GT-F Schedule A contracts must be concerned with Use-Or-
Pay charges related to the gas quantities specified in their contracts.
All noncore contract MSQ volumes are used in the event of a curtailment or OFO (Operation Flow Order)
event as described below'.
In the event of a noncore curtailment episode, the monthly scheduled quantity("MSQ") specified in a
customer's Schedule A: Intrastate Transmission Service contract("Schedule A contract") can affect a
customer's operations. Specifically, the MSQ specified in the Schedule A contract will be used to
determine the volume a customer has the right to continue to burn during the noncore curtailment
episode. Per SOCaIGaS'Tariffs Rule 23 (section K.3), the MSQ and operating days of the week(also
specified in the Schedule A contract) are used to determine the authorized curtailment quantity("ACQ")
during any noncore curtailment episode. The ACQ is that amount of gas a customer is authorized to burn
during a curtailment episode. As described in Rule 23(K)(3), a customer's ACQ is equal to the customer's
contract MSQ divided by the contracted operating days in that month.
Because these contract volumes play such an important role during a noncore curtailment, it is very
important that customers understand the potential impact of the volumes they contract for.
The MSQ and ACQ treatment will be as follows:
• During a partial noncore curtailment of Interruptible service, "pro rats" reduction of usage requested of
a GT-I customer will be based upon that customer's Schedule A contract volumes. For example, if
SoCalGas requires a 50% pro rate reduction of interruptible service volumes, each interruptible
service customer will have an ACQ based upon a 50% reduction of the GT-I volume specified in their
Schedule A contract.
• After a 100% curtailment of Interruptible (GT-1) customers, GT-F"full requirements"customers are
affected. ACQ's for these customers will be based upon their Schedule A contract volumes.
Specifically, any usage above the customer's ACQ will be treated as a curtailment violation and will
be subject to all associated charges which are set forth in the applicable tariffs.
Operating Day Schedule
In addition to the volumes specified in their contracts, customers need to pay close attention to the
operating days (i.e., days of the week) they select in their contract. The operating days specified in the
Schedule A contract will determine the days a customer is authorized to use gas during a curtailment
episode.
• For example, assume a customer specified only Monday-Friday operations in their Schedule A
contract. If a curtailment took place over the weekend any gas they used on Saturday or Sunday
may be subject to applicable charges. If a customer did not elect Saturday or Sunday as operating
days in its Schedule A then they will not have an ACQ on those days.
4 When MSQ volumes are present in a Schedule A contract for core service,they usually are for utility informational purposes,and
they do not function to limit usage during curtailment. An exception would be when multiple sequences of gas service are specified
for the same facility(e.g.specifying noncore Rate Schedule GT-F volumes with core Rate Schedule GN-10 volumes through the
same meter) In this instance,the core MSQs specified in the Schedule A contract will be used to determine the volume a customer
has the right to continue to burn during a noncore curtailment episode

Application of Contract MSQs during OFO events
Monthly Scheduled Quantities specified in the transportation agreements are used to limit deliveries
during Operational Flow Order("OFO") events. An OFO event occurs when the Utility determines that
the transportation nominations received for a specific date of gas flow("flow date") exceed its expected
system capacity(including storage) on such flow date.
During an OFO, the annual total of the MSQs will be converted into daily quantities for the nomination
process. These daily quantities or Transportation Service Access Quantity (TSAQ) will be assigned to
each customer and can be used by the customer or their marketer in aggregate (for their customer group)
to submit nominations up to their TSAQ limit. The customer or their marketer in aggregate must keep
their scheduled deliveries to no more than 110% of their actual usage during OFO days. Details regarding
how nominations are managed during an OFO and potential consequences if nominations exceed 110%
of a customer's (or marketer's customer group) burn during an OFO can be found in Rule Number 30,
Transportation of Customer Owned Gas. http://www.socalqas.com/requiatorV/tariffs/tm2/pdf/30.pdfh
Contract MSQ
SoCalGas wants to ensure each customer closely assesses its volume needs. To that end, we have data
to help you make your decision regarding the monthly volumes you selected for your Schedule A
contract. Your Account Executive/Manager has more information for you to consider.
The MSQ data provided to you takes into account your usage patterns over the last two years. SoCalGas
examined peak day or month volumes to arrive at monthly default MSQ values. Customers may elect
MSQs lower than the default MSQ. Customer requests for MSQs higher than the default MSQ are
subject to approval by SoCalGas.
