This will allow us to administer all accounts more efficiently and provide you with the highest quality customer service. We value our relationship with each and every one of our customers and therefore we have created the updated General Terms and Conditions set forth below to provide to you a clear and comprehensive explanation of our terms of service. We look forward to continuing to be your propane supplier for many years to come.

For most residential Customers, the updated General Terms and Conditions will become effective thirty days after the date of this Notice. For Customers with agreements requiring more than 30 days' notice, the updated General Terms and Conditions will become effective on the earliest date after the expiration of the notice period required by the agreements. For Customers with agreements that cannot be modified in this manner, this Notice will serve as a notice of termination and an offer to do business under the updated General Terms and Conditions set forth below, and the updated General Terms and Conditions will become effective on the earliest date after the termination unless you notify the Company in writing within thirty (30) days after your receipt of these Terms and Conditions and terminate service. Notwithstanding any termination, all propane storage tank or cylinder, regulator(s) and related equipment owned by the Company in Customer's possession will remain the property of the Company.

basis, all propane required by Customer (“Product”) during the term as set forth herein “subject to these terms and conditions (“Terms and Conditions” sometimes “this Agreement”) and any other Company contracts, equipment lease agreements, policies, Schedules of Current Fees, or documents provided to Customer (the “Documentation”). The
Documentation may be revised by Company in its sole and absolute discretion. Notwithstanding that you do not sign these Terms and Conditions, they will constitute a contract that will be deemed accepted by you when one of the

these Terms and Conditions; or (3) you do not notify the Company in writing within thirty (30) days after your receipt of these Terms and Conditions and terminate service.
- Equipment.
- If propane storage tank(s) or cylinders (“Tank” or “Tanks” as applicable”), regulators and related propane
distribution equipment (“Equipment”) are required to be provided by Company in connection with its provision of
propane distribution services, then Customer shall lease such Equipment (“Company Equipment”) from Company and
Company shall provide and install such Company Equipment at the Premises. Customer agrees to pay Company annual
rent during the period the Company Equipment is used. The amount of the rent can vary by geography and may be
affected by, among other things, the size of the Tanks and the Customer's actual annual usage. The Company reserves the
right to change-out the Company Equipment if Customer's propane usage changes or to remove the Company Equipment
during periods of non-usage. The Company further reserves the right to prorate the annual rent monthly and bill the
Customer monthly for such prorated rent.
- If Customer owns any Equipment (“Customer Equipment”), then title to and ownership of Customer
Equipment shall at all times remain with Customer and neither Customer nor any third party shall acquire any right or

to ensure that complies with all safety standards. Company reserves the right to inspect Customer's external system for
delivery of Product, including external components such as Customer's tank, regulators and vents (excluding exhaust
vents for products of combustion) (the “System”). The purpose of any such inspection is to determine whether Company
believes your System is safe and adequate for the storage of Product. If Company chooses to deliver Product to Customer,
Company may require Customer to upgrade the System to meet all safety standards. By inspecting the System, Company
makes no representation or warranty to Customer concerning the safety or adequacy of the System. Customer is
responsible for any loss or damage caused by the System. Customer is required to maintain and pay all expenses for
maintaining the System and all hoses, meters or other equipment which are part of your System. If Company determines
that the System is no longer adequate for delivery of Product, Company will terminate service. If inspections, testing or
repairs are required by applicable federal, state or local laws, regulations or ordinances (“Applicable Laws”), you will be
responsible for the cost and completion of all such work and for property repair, including landscaping costs, if any,
related to such work.
- Company shall have access at all times to the Premises for all purposes necessary to carry out the provisions of
these Terms and Conditions (including, without limitation, entering the Premises to install, maintain or remove
Equipment) without risk or liability for trespass. After installation, Company may substitute or adjust Equipment as it
determines, in its sole discretion, at Customer's sole cost and expense. Only Company's employees, authorized
contractors or representative(s) shall be permitted to connect, disconnect, access, change, remove, fill, alter, tamper with
or attempt to service Equipment, and Customer shall ensure that no other party shall do any of the foregoing.
- Fees, Rates and Charges. Customer shall pay Company, as invoiced by Company all Product charges according to
Company's established price on the date of delivery and any Minimum Annual Purchase amounts pursuant to Section 7.
Company reserves the right to set its daily price for Product and to vary that pricing among its Customer types at its sole
discretion. All Customers may obtain their current daily price by calling their local branch. Customer shall also pay, as
invoiced by the Company the following fees and charges up to and including the maximum amount shown on the
Schedule of Current Charges shown below. These fees and charges are not government-imposed and are set by us in our
discretion. However, not all fees and charges may be applicable to you depending on your service level and location.

security deposit, and Company may apply such security deposit to any amounts owed by Customer to Company at any
time (after which Company may, in its sole discretion, require an additional security deposit). Except as otherwise stated

Agreement, as determined by Company, in its sole discretion, depending upon, among other things, the volume of
propane purchased, ownership of equipment and competitive conditions. Because these fees and charges are subject to
change, we suggest you regularly visit our website at www.thompsongas.com in order to view a list of our most current

-
Price Comparison. Company will have the right to match, within a three cent per gallon variance, the average of a
Legitimate Competitor's price per gallon prior to the Customer switching suppliers to a Legitimate Competitor during or
at the expiration of the term of this Agreement. Customer shall be permitted to propose such switch in writing, based on
their current Product delivery, delivered to Company, which writing shall be accompanied by documentation of
Legitimate Competitor's price per gallon based on that specific delivery of Product for that specific date, type of use and
consumption. “Legitimate Competitor” shall mean any retail propane supplier that offers a price per gallon published or
otherwise generally offered to retail customers within a 25 mile radius of the Premises that is within five percent (5%) of
the average price per gallon of at least five (5) other propane gas competitors delivering propane product within a 25 mile
radius of the Premises for the same type of use and consumption. Company's communication to Customer of its intent
not to match a Legitimate Competitor's price per gallon must be given in a writing to Customer to be deemed a valid
release of Customer's obligation to continue this Agreement, subject to Customer's obligations hereunder that relate to
periods prior to such termination or are contemplated to survive a termination of this Agreement. If Customer switches
suppliers without giving Company this price per gallon match opportunity, Customer will be in default of this Agreement
and subject to the Cancellation Fee outlined in Section 5 of this Agreement. Customer is assumed to accept the price of
Product upon payment of any bill issued by Company for Product so delivered and thereafter waives any right to
challenge the price for that particular Product delivery.
-
Term. The term of this Agreement shall be one (1) year and shall automatically be renewed for successive 1 year terms
at the end of each current term, unless Customer or Company provides written notice of termination at least 10 days prior to expiration of the current term. In the event the Documentation set forth a different initial term, then the duration of the
term as set forth in the Documentation shall govern. Notwithstanding the actual date of commencement of this
Agreement, the initial renewal one year term of this Agreement shall be deemed to commence on July 1 first following
the actual date of commencement. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, the
Company shall have the right to terminate this Agreement at any time by giving Customer fifteen (15) days prior written
notice. Termination by Customer prior to the end of the current term, or default by Customer of Customer's obligations
hereunder, constitutes a breach of these Terms and Conditions. Customer agrees that Company's damages in the event of
a breach by Customer are difficult or impossible to determine and, therefore, Customer shall pay Company a reasonable
estimate of Company's damages, as determined by Company, as well as a Cancellation Fee, as specified in the
Documentation or as defined in the Schedule of Current Charges as stated in these Terms and Conditions. Upon
termination, Customer shall forfeit to the Company all Product remaining in the Tank for no consideration.
-
Equipment Removal. Prior to removal by Company of any Company Equipment, no person other than Company shall
claim or charge any storage or rent for such Equipment. Company may disconnect any appliance or Equipment, regardless
of ownership, deemed by Company to be unsafe. Upon termination, Customer shall arrange for a certified third-party
provider of Product to promptly perform a leak test as described in NFPA (National Fire Protection Association) 54 and
58 and provide documentation of that test to Company within 10 days of termination.
-
Minimum Usage. If you lease your Tank from us, you agree to purchase from us a volume of Propane at least equal to one and one half (1½) times the water capacity of your Tank(s) each 12-month period commencing on July 1st and ending
the following June 30th of each year this Agreement is in effect (the “Minimum Volume Requirement”), unless you have
reached a different arrangement with us. If you fail to purchase your Minimum Volume Requirement, we may, at our
option, either terminate this Agreement and cease delivery of Propane to you, adjust the daily price of the Propane we
deliver to you, charge you a Minimum Use Fee, and/or increase your Tank Rent to reflect your low usage. The maximum
charges for Tank Rent and Minimum Use Fees are set forth in the Schedule of Current Charges in Section 3 above.
Customer shall be responsible for maintaining at least one (1) week's usage of Product at the Premises at all times. After
Customer contacts an authorized Company representative to order Product, Company agrees to provide such Product
within a reasonable period of time according to its regular delivery schedule, subject to weather conditions, customer
demand and Section 14 hereof. In addition, if Customer should at any time request or refuse a delivery of less Product
than is required to fill installed Tanks to their rated capacity, Company shall have the right to assess, and Customer shall
pay Company, a Partial-Fill Fee as set forth in the Schedule of Current Charges in Section 3 above.
- Change of Ownership of Premises. Customer agrees that if Customer sells the Premises where the Company Equipment
has been installed, Customer will notify Company, at least 14 days in advance, that the sale is taking place and will notify
the buyer that the Company Equipment is owned by the Company. Upon any change in ownership of the Premises,
Customer shall advise the new owner of the Premises of these Terms and Conditions, and Company shall not be required
to provide a refund to Customer or the new owner for Product sold to Customer once Customer has moved from the
Premises. If the new owner does not engage Company for the provision of Product to the Premises, Customer shall be
deemed to have terminated this Agreement prior to the expiration of the current term and all termination fees payable
hereunder shall apply.
- Affirmative Covenants. Customer shall: (a) execute and deliver all documents requested by Company to confirm the
Company's title and ownership of the Company Equipment; (b) promptly notify Company of any maintenance issues
with, damage to or loss of Equipment, changes to the Premises, the addition of appliances or an increase in the total cubic
footage using Equipment (including, without limitation, resulting in any water damage or damage to plumbing or other
systems at the Premises); (c) properly maintain all Equipment; (d) request sufficient Product required to fill Equipment to
its rated capacity; (e) notify Company 14 days prior to any sale or change in title to the Premises; and (f) maintain at least
1 week's usage of Product in the tank at the Premises at all times.
- Negative Covenants. Customer shall not do any of the following: (a) assign, pledge or otherwise convey any interest
in and to the Equipment; (b) damage or lose Equipment; (c) add appliances or increase the total cubic footage using Equipment without notifying Company, in writing, at least fifteen days (15) in advance; or (d) use, manufacture, store,
release or dispose of hazardous materials (whether or not on the Premises) on, under or near Equipment.
- Indemnification; Limitation of Liability. Customer accepts the risks inherent in the storage, installation, use, delivery
and refueling of Equipment and Product on the Premises and shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Company and its
agents, directors, officers and employees from and against all damages, costs, liabilities, obligations, judgments and
expenses, (including, without limitation, Company's attorney's fees, court costs, and the costs of repair, clean-up,
abatement or remediation) arising from or relating to (i) the death of, injury to or damage to the property (whether real or personal) of any person, in each case, directly or indirectly, arising or resulting from the use, misuse, storage, delivery,
refueling, unauthorized service, installation, maintenance, lack of maintenance or removal of Equipment (including
underground tanks and piping) or Product, including, without limitation, those damages and injuries resulting from or
caused or effected by Customer's actions or inactions, a third party or an act of God, except to the extent such damage or
injury is directly caused by Company's gross negligence or willful misconduct; (ii) Customer's breach of any provision of
these Terms and Conditions; (iii) the existence, use, manufacture, storage, release or disposal of hazardous materials by
any person (whether or not on the Premises) on, under or near Equipment; (iv) the lack of or inadequate warning materials
contained in the Product (including improper or inadequate amounts of odorization, improper use or type of odorant or
“odorant fading”), Customer's improper training or monitoring of its warning or training programs respecting odorization
and/or the lack of warning on supplemental warning systems (such as gas detectors); and (v) any return or repossession of
Equipment by Company or its designee, except to the extent directly caused by Company's gross negligence or willful
misconduct. Customer agrees that it is Customer's sole and exclusive responsibility to monitor the propane usage and to
request a delivery at least seven (7) business days in advance in order to prevent an out-of-gas situation. Company will not
be responsible for any damages that may result from an out-of-gas situation, including personal injuries or damage of any
kind to property caused by or related in any way to the exhaustion of propane supply, including, but not limited to, frozen
pipes or water damage. Customer acknowledges that it is Customer's responsibility to monitor propane levels. Company
shall not be responsible for damage to the Premises or other property of Customer or any other person due to Product
supply interruption caused by Customer's failure to notify Company of modifications to the Premises, the addition of
appliances, increase in living unit size, Customer's request for less Product than is required to fill Tanks to full capacity or
its breach of Section 9(f) above. In no event shall Company be liable to Customer or any other person for any special,
incidental, consequential or punitive damages arising out of these Terms and Conditions, whether under a theory of tort,
contract, product liability or otherwise, even if advised of the possibility of such damages and even if such damages could
have been reasonably foreseen. CUSTOMER ASSUMES THE RISK OF ALL LOSS OR DAMAGE TO, AND LOSS
OR DAMAGE CAUSED BY, THE PREMISES, THE EQUIPMENT AND/OR THE PRODUCT, EXCEPT TO THE
EXTENT DIRECTLY CAUSED BY COMPANY'S GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT.
- DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES. COMPANY MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES, EITHER
EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WITH RESPECT TO ANY PROPANE, TANK, CYLINDER, AND/OR RELATED
EQUIPMENT OR SERVICE SUPPLIED OR PERFORMED UNDER THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OR ANY
PRIOR AGREEMENT OR UNDERSTANDING, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY WARRANTIES OF
MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. SOME STATES (CT, KS, ME, MS, NH, WA,
