ARTICLE 4
OPERATIONS
4.1 Customer shall deliver its Gas or cause its Gas to be delivered
into the Systems at the Point(s) of Receipt described on the applicable Service
Order, as it now exists and as it may be amended. Customer shall have no right
to require Gas to be received at any particular Point(s) of Receipt and except
as provided in the following sentence Company may delete such points or modify
the capacity thereof from time to time and at any time in its reasonable
discretion with no further obligation to Customer with respect to such Point(s)
of Receipt. Notwithstanding the above, Company will not terminate Point(s) of
Receipt listed on Schedule A-1 List #4, Schedule A-1 List #6 and Schedule A-2
List #2 without Customer's mutual agreement. All supplies of Gas delivered to
the System must comply with the terms and conditions of the Service Agreement.
Customer recognizes and agrees that the use of any of the Interstate Point(s) to
transport Gas to Company for Customer's account may be terminated at any time by
Company's sole and absolute discretion upon thirty (30) days written notice to
Customer. Customer hereby waives and releases Company from any claim that may
arise in the future against Company by reason of or with respect to the
termination of the use of any of the Interstate Point(s). Customer recognizes
that the Gas which it causes to be received or delivered at the Interstate
Point(s) must be Gas which is not subject to regulation under the Natural Gas
Act, as amended (NGA) and is delivered to the Interstate Point(s) from the
wellhead pursuant to Section 3 11(a) of the Natural Gas Policy Act of 1978, as
amended (NGPA). In consideration of Company providing for use such Interstate
Point(s), Customer hereby warrants and represents that the Gas which it causes
to be received or delivered at the Interstate Points is not subject to
regulation under the NGA and is
transported to the Interstate Points from the wellhead pursuant to Section
311(a) of the NGPA. In no event shall Company be required to expand, modify,
construct, rearrange, or change the operations of the System in order to receive
Gas from or on behalf of Customer at any existing Point(s) of Receipt or in
order to deliver Gas to Customer at any existing Point(s) of Delivery, provided,
however, Company shall own and operate necessary natural gas pipeline and
interconnection facilities to provide the transportation service identified in
its tariff and applicable Service Order. Additions or deletions may be made to
the Point(s) of Receipt or Point(s) of Delivery in the Service Agreement and
shall be considered to be new transactions.
4.2 Customer shall advise (in a method and format applied by the
Company to its customers) Company with respect to each Day, Week and Month the
name of each supplier with whom it has a contract on Company's system (and the
name of the individual with such suppliers responsible for Customer's account),
which source of supply is delivering to Company, how much Gas is nominated to be
delivered to Company from each source of supply (i.e., each well, plant, or
other desired Point(s) of Receipt) and the anticipated deliveries at each
Point(s) of Delivery. Customer's nomination shall be in good faith and shall be
based on Customer's reasonable efforts to estimate usage for that next Day, Week
and Month. Customer shall not intentionally nominate more or less Gas than is
needed by Customer, except as may be needed for balancing purposes. If during a
Month, Customer's other supplies are renominated or reallocated, if Customer's
operations are modified in any manner or if it appears that the original
nomination was incorrect, the Customer shall immediately renominate to Company
during such Month, but in no event shall such renomination exceed any maximum
limitations established by the Parties. At intervals reasonably required by
Company, Customer shall be obligated to furnish Company with schedules showing
the daily Dekatherms of Gas Customer desires to deliver at each Point(s) of
Receipt. Company may, upon reasonable notice to Customer, from time to time
modify its nomination requirements and nomination deadlines as needed to meet
operational requirements or to conform to common industry practices and
procedures.
4.3 (a) Receipt and Delivery nominations received from Customers shall
be made available to Point Operators for their confirmation to deliver or
receive such nominated Gas flow volumes. Point Operator may confirm and schedule
nominations at the lesser of the nominated volume or the volume of gas available
for delivery as determined by the Point Operator. If no communication is
received from the Point Operator, nominations stand as confirmed.
(b) Prior to the start of the flow day, for which nominations are
made by Customer, Company will confirm to Customer the amount
scheduled for delivery for such day.
(c) The standard nominations shall be made as follows: 11:45 a.m.
for nominations leaving control of the Customer; 11 .45 a.m.
for receipt of nominations by Company; 3:30 p.m. for receipt
of completed confirmations by Company from upstream and
downstream connected parties; 3:30 p.m. for receipt of
scheduled quantities by Customer and Point Operator (Central
Clock Time on the day prior to flow of the Gas so nominated).
(d) Intra-day nominations are those submitted after the
nominations deadline to be effective for either the same Gas
Day or for the next Gas Day and runs through the end of that
Gas Day. A Customer may submit an intra-day nomination up to
4 hours prior to Gas flow. Intra-.Day nominations shall be
scheduled after all timely nominations. Intra-Day nomination
shall not bump scheduled Gas for that Gas day unless the
upstream or downstream Point Operator requires a change in
scheduled Gas.
(e) Company and Customer shall comply with the forecasting
requirements and Customer's nominations shall conform to the
requirements set forth in Schedules X-0, X-0, X-0 and A-4
attached to Customer Service Order X0, X-0, X-0 xxx X-0
attached to the Agreement.
4.4 Scheduling of Point(s) of Receipt or Point(s) of Delivery shall be
made by the party
performing the measurement function. In the event Company is the measuring party
the following priority shall be applied:
(a) Firm Sales Services;
(b) Firm Intrastate Transportation Service;
(c) Interruptible transportation service under the terms of which gas
is delivered to and received from ONEOK Texas Gas Storage, L.P.
("OTGS"), under the provision of a gas storage agreement by and
between OTGS and Customer or by and between OTGS and a third
party;
(d) Interruptible transportation services.
4.5 Customer's Gas shall be delivered to Customer at the Point(s) of
Delivery. To the extent that Customer's acts or omissions cause Company to
incur, directly or indirectly, fees, charges, expenses, or penalties from a
supplier or a transporter of Gas to Company for failure to satisfy such
supplier's or transporter's balancing or nomination requirements, then Customer
agrees to reimburse Company for such fees, charges, expenses, or penalties, and
defend, indemnify, and hold Company harmless with respect thereto. To the extent
that Company's acts or omissions cause Customer to incur, directly or
indirectly, fees, charges, expenses, or penalties from a supplier or a
transporter of Gas to Customer for failure to satisfy such supplier's or
transporter's balancing or nomination requirements, then Company agrees to
reimburse Customer for such fees, charges, expenses, or penalties, and defend,
indemnify, and hold Customer harmless with respect thereto.
4.6 The Point(s) of Receipt and Point(s) of Delivery may be, or may
later become points through which other quantities of Gas are being measured;
therefore, the measurement of Gas under the Service Agreement may involve the
allocation of Gas deliveries. In such event, each party hereto will furnish, or
cause to be furnished, to the extent the information is available, to the other
party all data required to accurately account for all Gas.
4.7 Except as may be set forth on a Service Order, Company shall
receive and deliver Gas hereunder as nearly as practicable at uniform hourly and
daily rates of flow. It is recognized that it may be physically impracticable,
because of measurement, Gas control limitations and other operating conditions,
to stay in zero (0) imbalance each Hour and each Day; therefore, the daily and
hourly quantities received may, due to the aforementioned reasons, vary above or
below the daily and hourly quantities delivered. If the quantities received and
the quantities delivered hereunder should create an imbalance at the end of any
Hour, Day, Week, or Month, then Company and Customer shall adjust receipts
and/or deliveries such that the quantities received and delivered shall be kept
as near to zero (0) imbalance as practicable.
4.8 (a) Company reserves the right to issue an Operational Flow Order
to alleviate conditions, inter alia, which threaten the safe operations or
system integrity of the Company's system or to maintain operations required to
provide efficient and reliable service.
(b) Curtailment and interruption of service may be ordered by the
Company at any time if, in Company's reasonable judgment, capacity
or operating conditions so require or it is desirable or necessary
to make modifications, repairs or operating changes, the conduct
of which will occasion interruption, upon such notice as is
reasonable under the circumstances.
(c) Curtailment of service because of events of force rnajeure or
described in the foregoing subparagraphs 4.8(a) or (b) shall be in
the following order beginning with interruptible transportation
under Subsection 4.8 (c)(4) and ending with firm intrastate sales
under Subsection 4.8 (c)(I).:
(1) Firm intrastate sales.
(2) Firm intrastate transportation service. Should Firm
Intrastate Transportation Service require curtailment, then FTS
shall be curtailed in accordance with Section 2.10 of the
Agreement.
(3) Interruptible transportation service under the terms of which gas
is delivered to and received from ONEOK Texas Gas Storage, L.P. ("OTGS"), under
the provision of a gas storage agreement by and between OTGS and Customer or hy
and between OTGS and a third party.
(4) Intermptible transportation service. Within priority 4.,
interruption shall be administered so that service under the lowest valued
contract is interrupted first and service under the highest valued contract is
interrupted last.
(d) Subject to the foregoing Sections 4.1 through 4.7, Customer shall exercise
reasonable efforts to deliver to the applicable System the Dekatherms of
Gas that Company is to deliver from the applicable System to Customer
during any particular Hour, Day, Week and Month, including but not limited
to volumes needed for peak day usage by Customer's customers.
(e) In no event shall Company be required to accept a request for service for a
quantity of Gas which Company cannot meter with reasonable accuracy at the
Point(s) of Receipt or Delivery. If Customer's request for service involves
a quantity which Company cannot meter with reasonable accuracy at the
requested Point(s) of Receipt or Delivery, Company will promptly so inform
Customer and advise Customer of the quantity that can be metered with
reasonable accuracy at the proposed Point(s) of Receipt and Delivery.
(f) Customer shall make all necessary arrangements with other parties at or
upstream of the Point(s) of Receipt where natural Gas is delivered to
Company by Customer or for Customer's account, and downstream of the
Point(s) of Delivery where natural Gas is to be delivered by Company to or
for the account of Customer, which arrangements shall be compatible with
Company's system operations and coordinated with Company's Gas control
department.
(g) Company shall not be required to render service on behalf of Customer in
the event that all facilities necessary to render such services do not
exist at the time such service is scheduled to begin.
(h) Company shall not be required to provide service if Company or any of its
other customers will be required to purchase new quantities of Gas from any
source or to increase purchases from existing suppliers in order to render
such service.
(i) Except as provided in Section 4.1 or as otherwise provided in the
Agreement, hereof, Company shall not be required to acquire, construct,
install, operate, modify, maintain, continue in existence or ownership of,
or rearrange any facilities specifically applicable to an individual
Customer in order to provide any service. Company may, in its reasonable
discretion, and with the agreement of the Customer, agree to acquire,
construct, install, operate, modify or rearrange any such necessary
facilities, subject to the provisions hereof, in order to provide service.
Company's determination as to the maintenance or continued maintenance,
existence or ownership of any facility shall be made in Company's
reasonable discretion. In the event Company agrees to acquire, construct,
install, operate, modify or rearrange facilities, then Company shall have
the right to condition its agreement to so acquire, construct, install,
operate, modify or rearrange their facilities by requiring that Customers
bear and/or pay Company for all or part of costs associated with the
acquisition, installation, construction, modification, operation, and
rearrangement of such facilities.
(j) Should any litigation be commenced between the Company and Customer
concerning any provision of the Service Agreement or the rights and duties
hereunder, the party prevailing in such litigation shall be entitled, in
addition to such other relief as may be granted in such proceeding, to a
reasonable sum as and for its attorney's fees in such litigation, which sum
shall be determined in such litigation or in a separate action for such
purpose.
4.9 If, pursuant to the foregoing Article IV, Company curtails or
temporarily discontinues the receipt or delivery of Gas hereunder, Customer
agrees to hold Company harmless from any loss, claim, damage, or expense that
Customer may incur by reason of such curtailment or discontinuance. Company's
rendering of service hereunder shall not obligate Company in any manner beyond
the terms of the Service Agreement and the Exhibits attached thereto.
ARTICLE 5
PRESSURE AND QUALITY OF GAS
5.1 Customer shall deliver (or cause to be delivered) the Gas to the
Systems at the Point(s) of Receipt at a pressure sufficient to effect delivery
into the Systems at that point. If necessary, Customer shall provide additional
compression to make such deliveries hereunder, and Company shall not have any
cost or responsibility in that regard. Company shall not be obligated to accept
Gas at pressures greater than the maximum allowable operating pressure for the
System facilities into which such Gas is flowing.
5.2 Subject to the provisions of Section 4.8 above, the Gas shall be
delivered to Customer from the System at the Point(s) of Delivery at pressures
sufficient to effect deliveries to Point Operator's facilities, but not to
exceed the pressure that is available at such Point(s) of Delivery. Company
shall not be required to compress Gas in order to make deliveries hereunder.
5.3 Gas delivered by and to Customer shall be commercially free of dust,
gums, gum-forming constituents, gasoline, water, and any other substance that
may become separated from the Gas during the handling hereof. All Gas received

Mcf of Gas.
5.4 Customer agrees to supply Company, at Company's request at any time
and from time to time, a sample of liquids removed from the Gas stream of the
facilities which deliver Gas to Company, which sample is to be taken from a
point upstream from the Point(s) of Receipt. Said sample shall not contain any
toxic, hazardous, or deleterious materials or any materials which Company, in
its sole discretion, deems in any way harmful to its facilities, personnel or
the environment, including, but not limited to, polychlorinated biphenyls
(PCBs), and substances or materials considered hazardous or other similar terms,
or requiring investigation, remediation or removal under any federal, state or
local statute, regulation, rule or ordinance or any amendments thereof, whether
now in effect or as may be in effect in the future. If such samples contain any
such
materials or substances, Company shall have the right, in its sole discretion
and in addition to other remedies available to it, to immediately cease receipt
of Gas through the Point(s) of Receipt until such time as all such materials or
substances are eliminated from the Gas such that Company, in its sole
discretion, elects to again receive such Gas through the Point(s) of Receipt.
Should Customer fail or refuse to eliminate all such materials or substances
within a reasonable time, Company shall have the right, upon written notice, to
terminate the Service Agreement. Customer hereby expressly agrees to indemnify
and hold Company and Company's affiliates and personnel harmless from and
against any and all liabilities, losses, claims, damages, actions, costs, fines,
and expenses of whatever nature, including, but not limited to, court costs and
attorneys' fees arising out or in any manner relating to the presence of PCBs
and/or any other toxic, hazardous, deleterious, harmful, or unsafe materials as
described above in Gas delivered into Company's System.
5.5(a) If the Gas offered for delivery to Company at the Point(s) of
Receipt or made available to or on behalf of Customer at the Point(s) of
Delivery has failed at any time to conform to any of the specifications set
forth in this Article 5, then the party receiving such Gas (the "receiving
party") shall notify the other party (the "tendering xxxxx") of such deficiency
and thereupon the receiving party may at its option refuse to accept such Gas
pending correction by the tendering party. Upon the tendering party's failure
promptly to remedy any deficiency in quality as specified in this Article 5, the
receiving party may accept such Gas and may make changes necessary to bring such
Gas into conformity with such specifications, and the tendering party shall
reimburse the receiving party for any reasonable expense incurred by it in
effecting such changes. In no event shall the failure of any Gas offered for
delivery to Company by Customer or for Customer's account to conform to any of
the specifications set forth in this Article S relieve Customer of Customer's
obligation to pay any service charges incurred with respect to such Gas.
ARTICLE 6
RATES, CHARGES AND PAYMENT
6.1 If Firm Intrastate Transportation Service is provided pursuant to
the Service Agreement, the Customer shall pay the following to Company, as
mutually agreed to and set forth on the applicable Service Order:
(a) A Monthly Demand Rate which shall be the charge of the various

6.3 In addition to the amounts paid pursuant to Subsections 6.1 or 6.2
above, Customer shall also pay or deliver to Company the following:
(a) Any other provision or charge which may be agreed to between
Company and Customer;
(b) Fuel and Use Quantity; and
(c) Except as provided below, Customer shall pay all applicable
surcharges, fees, taxes, charges, and assessments imposed by or on
behalf of any governmental entity in connection with the Service
Agreement or in connection with the purchase, transportation and
disposition of Gas by or on behalf of Customer pursuant to the
Service Agreement including but not limited to
municipal and/or supplemental fees, franchise fees and any
supplements thereto and taxes; provided that Company shall pay all
ad valorem taxes and assessments levied on the System and all
appurtenant facilities. Company shall file all returns required
for the Systems and all appurtenant facilities. At the request of
Company, Customer will furnish Company with any information
available to Customer in connection with Company's obligations
under this section.
6.4 Customer agrees to pay any amounts due pursuant to the Service
Agreement and the General Terms and Conditions to Company within ten (10) days
after receipt of an invoice from Company such payment to be made by wire
transfer to the account designated by the Company in writing.

under any Service Agreement when such amount is due, interest on the unpaid
portion shall accrue at a rate (which in no event shall be higher than the
maximum rate permitted by applicable law) equal to one and one-half percent
(1-1/2%) per month from the due date until the date of payment. If such failure
to pay continues for thirty (30) days after payment or delivery is due, Company,
in addition to any other remedy it may have, may suspend further receipts and
deliveries of Gas until such amount is paid or delivered; provided, however,
that if Customer in good faith shall dispute in writing the amount of any such
xxxx or part thereof and shall pay and deliver to Company such amounts as
Customer concedes to be correct and, at any time thereafter within thirty (30)
days of the due date of such payment, shall furnish a good and sufficient surety
bond in an amount and with surety satisfactory to Company, guaranteeing payment
and delivery to Company of the amount ultimately found due upon such bills,
including interest thereon, after a final determination which may be reached
either by agreement or judgment of the courts, as may be the case, then Company
shall not be entitled to suspend further receipts and withdrawals of Gas unless
and until default be made in the conditions of such bond. As an alternative to
posting a bond, Customer may pay the portion of any amount in dispute without
waiving its rights to recoup any monies improperly billed. If the portion of any
amount in dispute is ultimately determined to be incorrect, such amount shall be
refunded by Company to Customer together with interest thereon at a rate (which
in no event shall be higher than the maximum allowed by law) equal to one and
one-half percent (1-1/2%) per Month for the period from the date of payment to
Company to the date of refund by Company.
ARTICLE 7

7.1 On or before the twenty-fifth (25th) day of each calendar month
after commencement of Gas receipts and deliveries hereunder, Company shall
render to Customer a statement for the preceding Month showing the total
Dekatherms of Gas received and delivered and each Point(s) of Receipt and
Point(s) of Delivery, and any information needed to explain and support any
adjustment made by Company. Any such statement (and supporting documents) may
also be sent to Customer's suppliers of Gas. When information necessary for
statement purposes is in the possession of Customer and is requested by the
Company, Customer shall furnish such information to Company on or before the
tenth (10th) day of the Month in which the statement requiring such data is to
be rendered.
7.2 Both parties hereto shall have the right at any and all reasonable
times to examine the books and records of the other to the extent necessary to
verify the accuracy of any statement, computation, or demand made hereunder.
Both parties shall preserve for a period of two (2) years all test data, charts
and other similar records If it shall be found at any time or times that

provisions of the Service Agreement and Customer shall have actually paid the
bills containing such overcharge or undercharge, then within thirty (30) days
after the final determination thereof, Company shall refund the amount of any
such overcharge, or Customer shall pay the amount of any such undercharge,
provided, however, that interest calculated in accord with Section 6.5 shall
apply to any undercharge or overcharge not paid within thirty (30) days from the
date of notification to the party who owes payment of the amount of the
undercharge or overcharge. In the event an error is discovered in the amount
billed in any statement rendered by Company, such error shall be adjusted within
thirty (30) days of the final determination thereof provided

discovery of such error but, in any event, within twenty-four (24) months from
the date of payment.
7.3 Company shall establish and operate a website if required by state
statute or government regulation for Texas intrastate pipelines.
ARTICLE 8
MEASUREMENT AND TESTS
The measurement and tests for quality of Gas received and delivered by
Customer hereunder shall be governed as follows:
8.1 The quantities of Gas received and delivered shall be measured by
means of meters of standard type which conform to the American Gas Association
Measurement Committee Reports and other industry standards as to construction
and installation.
8.2 The unit of volume for purposes of measurement shall be one (1)
cubic foot of Gas at a temperature base of sixty degrees (60(0)) Fahrenheit and
at a pressure base of fourteen and seventy-three hundredths (14.73) pounds per
square inch absolute. The assumed atmospheric pressure shall be as nearly
correct as possible for all locations. The atmospheric pressure for individual
meters shall be calculated per the most recent AGA equation based upon actual
elevation when the actual elevation is available; if actual elevation for an
individual meter is not available, then the elevation for the closest town can
be utilized.
8.3 Temperature shall be determined by a recording thermometer
continuously used and installed according to Paragraph 8.1.
8.4 Specific gravity shall be determined with accuracy to the nearest
one thousandth (.001) by use of an instrument that conforms to industry
standards.
8.5 Whenever the conditions of pressure and temperature differ from the
standards, conversion of the volumes from these conditions to the standard
conditions shall be in accordance with the Ideal Gas Laws corrected for
deviation from Xxxxx'x Law, all to be in accordance with methods and tables set
out in the American Gas Association Measurement Committee Reports, or by other
accepted methods that may be used from time to time.
8.6 The heating value of the Gas shall be determined by means of a
sampling method of general use in the Gas industry. The location of the sampling
equipment shall be determined by Company in its sole discretion but shall be at
a location where a representative sample of the Gas to which it applies may be
taken.
8.7 Tests to determine total sulfur, hydrogen sulfide, oxygen, carbon
dioxide, total inerts and water vapor shall be made by approved standards
methods in general use by the Gas industry. Such tests shall be made at the
request of either party hereto. If a test is performed at Customer's request and
shows that the quality specifications as set forth in Section 5.3 hereof have
been satisfied, Customer shall pay all costs and expenses of Company related to
such test. In all other instances costs and expenses of Company related to such
tests shall be born by the Company.
8.8 Except as otherwise provided, all measuring and testing equipment,
housing devices, and materials shall be standard manufacture and type and shall,
with all related equipment, appliances, and buildings, be owned, installed,
maintained and operated or caused to be installed, maintained and operated by
Company at the Point(s) of Receipt.
8.9 Electronic Flow Measurement ("EFM")
(a) With respect to any Point(s) of Receipt or Point(s) of Delivery
requested by Customer after June 1, 2002, where more than 000
XXXxx of gas per day is delivered, the Company, at its sole
discretion, may require to be installed an EFM device which
transmits readings from the meter to the Company's facility via
telephonic connection or other means.
(b) Company shall own the EFM device (and all rights to the data and
information produced thereby) and neither Customer nor any other
party shall have any right to repair, replace, modify, change or
interconnect other
equipment or facilities with such devices or provide third parties
with information or data therefrom, without Company's prior
written consent.
(c) No meter fixtures or devices, nor any EFM reading device shall be
installed on the Company's meter without the Company's prior
written consent.
(d) Company shall not be liable or responsible for the consequences of
any utilization by Customer or any other party of information or
data obtained from the EFM device, including, without limitation,
any liability for direct, indirect, consequential, punitive or
special damages, in tort or in contract.
8.10 The accuracy of the measuring and testing equipment shall be
verified according to Company's standard for the device being used and at other
reasonable times upon request of Customer or Company. Gas quality tests may be
made at times of equipment testing or at other reasonable times. Notice of the
time and nature of each test shall be given by Company to the Customer at least
five (5) days in advance of such test. If a test is requested by a Customer,
then Company shall give Customer notice sufficiently in advance to permit
Customer to have a representative present. Representatives of both Customer and
Company may be present to observe such tests. The results of any such tests
shall be considered accurate until the next tests are made. All tests of
measuring equipment shall be paid by the party owning such measuring equipment,
provided, however, if a test has been requested by the Party not owning the
metering equipment and the inaccuracy found is two percent (2%) or less, the
Party requesting such test shall bear the expense of such test.
8.11 If, at any time, any of the measuring or testing equipment is
found to be out of service, or registering inaccurately of any percentage, it
shall be adjusted at once to read accurately within the limits prescribed by the
manufacturer. If such equipment is out of service or inaccurate by an amount
exceeding two percent (2%) at a reading corresponding to the average rate of
flow for the period since the last preceding test, the previous reading of such
equipment shall be disregarded for any period definitely known or agreed upon,
or if not so known or agreed upon, for a period of time equal to one-half of the
elapsed time since the last test. The volume of Gas delivered during such period
shall be estimated (i) by using the data recorded by any check measuring
equipment if installed and accurately registering, or if not installed or
registering accurately, (ii) by correcting the error if the percentage of error
is ascertainable by calibration, test, or mathematical calculation, or if
neither such method is feasible, (iii) by estimating the quantity or quality
delivered based upon deliveries under similar conditions during a period when
the equipment was registering accurately. No adjustment shall be made for
recorded inaccuracies of two percent (2%) or less.
8.12 The parties hereto shall have the right to inspect equipment
installed or furnished by the other or third-party operators and the charts and
other measurement or testing data of all such parties at all times during
business hours; but the reading, calibration, and adjustment of such equipment
and changing of charts shall be done only by the party installing and furnishing
the same. The parties hereto shall preserve all original test data, charts and
other similar records in such party's possession for a period of at least
twenty-four (24) months.
8.13 At every Point(s) of Receipt and every Point(s) of Delivery, the
party having control over such facility shall allow the other party immediate
access to the receipt and delivery information as it is generated by the party
having such control. With respect to all Point(s) of Receipt and Point(s) of
Delivery that have electronic flow measurement, both parties may have remote
telephone and electronic access to the receipt and delivery information
generated at such Point(s) of Receipt and Point(s) of Delivery.
ARTICLE 9
TITLE TO AND RESPONSIBILITY FOR GAS
9.1 Customer warrants title to all Gas delivered by it into the Systems
hereunder, and Customer warrants and represents that it has the right to deliver
the Gas hereunder, and that such Gas is free from liens and adverse claims of
every kind. Customer agrees to defend, indemnify and save Company harmless from

respect to Gas delivered by it on account of royalties, taxes, payments, liens,
or other charges or claims arising (1) before or created upon delivery of said
Gas into the
Systems, and (2) upon and after delivery of said Gas from the Systems to or for
the account of Customer.
9.2 As between the parties hereto, Customer or its supplier shall be
deemed to be in the exclusive control and possession of the Gas until such Gas
has been delivered to Company at the Point(s) of Receipt, and after its
withdrawal by or for the account of Customer at the Point(s) of Delivery. After
Customer's or Customer's suppliers' delivery of such Gas at the Point(s) of
Receipt, Company shall thereafter be deemed to be in the exclusive control and
possession of such Gas until its withdrawal by Customer at the Point(s) of
Delivery. The party which shall be in the exclusive control and possession of
such Gas shall be responsible for all injury or damage caused thereby and shall
be responsible for any loss of Gas while in its possession, except with regard
to injury, damage or loss caused by or arising out of the negligence of the
nonpossessory party.
9.3 The Systems shall at all times remain the property of Company, and
Customer shall have no right or property interest therein but only the right for
the service to be rendered.
ARTICLE 10
FORCE MAJEURE AND CASUALTY
10.1 If either Company or Customer or Point Operator is rendered
unable, wholly or in part, by reason of force majeure or any other cause of any
kind not reasonably within its control, whether or not such force majeure event
or cause was foreseeable at the time the Service Agreement is entered into, to
perform or comply with their obligations hereunder, then such party's
obligations or conditions shall be suspended during the continuance of such
inability and such party shall be relieved of liability for failure to perform
the same during such period; provided, however, obligations to make payments
when due hereunder shall not be suspended. Any force majeure event (other than
labor disputes, strikes, or lockouts) shall be remedied so far as possible with
reasonable dispatch. Settlement of strikes, lockouts, and labor disputes shall
be wholly within the discretion of the party having the difficulty. The term
"force majeure" shall include, but is not limited to, the following: acts of God
and the public enemy; the elements; fire, tornadoes, freezing of pipelines,
accidents, breakdowns, strikes; any industrial, civil, or public disturbance;
inability to obtain or delay in obtaining rights-of-way, material, supplies,
permits, or labor; any act or omission by parties not subject to control by the
party hereunder having the difficulty; and any laws, orders, rules, regulations,
acts or restraints of any governmental body or authority, civil or military.
10.2 If a portion of the System required to make the service available
is partially damaged by fire or other casualty, the damage may be repaired by
Company, at its option and in its sole discretion, as speedily as practicable,
due allowance being made for the time taken for the settlement of insurance
claims. In such event, Company shall notify Customer thereof as soon as
reasonably possible. Until such repairs are made, the payments shall be
apportioned in proportion to the portion of the capacity of the System which is
still available for the purposes hereof, such determination to be made in the
reasonable discretion of Company. If the damage is so extensive as to render the
System wholly unusable, in Company's reasonable opinion, the payments, if any,
shall cease until such time as the System is again useable. In case the damage
shall, in Company's reasonable opinion, amount substantially to a destruction of
the portion of the Systems available for the transportation of Gas and Company
shall elect not to repair the damage, then the Service Agreement shall terminate
at the time of such damage, and Company shall not be liable to Customer for any
liability, damage, or claim which arises out of any failure to make repairs.
Notwithstanding the above, if there is damage to a Company System that is the
sole source of service to Customer's human need customers (residential,
hospitals, schools, etc.) Company will use every commercially reasonable effort
to restore service as soon as reasonably possible.
ARTICLE 11
GOVERNMENTAL RULES, REGULATIONS, AND AUTHORIZATIONS
11.1 The Service Agreement is subject to all valid orders, laws, rules,
and regulations of duly constituted State and Federal governmental authorities
and agencies having jurisdiction or control over the parties, their facilities
or Gas supplies, the Service Agreement, or any provision hereof. If at any time
during the term of the Service Agreement any such governmental authority shall
take any action as to any party whereby the delivery and receipt of Gas, as
contemplated herein, shall be proscribed or subjected to terms, conditions,
restraints, or regulations, including rate or price controls or
ceilings, that are burdensome to that party, such determination to be made by
the affected party in its reasonable discretion, the Service Agreement shall be
modified to the minimum extent possible so as to comply with such orders, laws,
rules and regulations. Otherwise, the Service Agreement shall remain in full
force and effect. Neither party shall have the right thereafter to cancel or
terminate the Service Agreement by reason of such modification to the Service
Agreement.
ARTICLE 12
CREDITWORTHINESS
12.1 Company shall not be required to initiate service on behalf of any
Customer or provide service or to continue service for any Customer who is or
has become insolvent or who, at Company's request, fails within a commercially
reasonable time to demonstrate credit worthiness as determined by the Company in
its reasonable discretion, provided, however, Customer may receive service if
Customer furnishes good and sufficient security as determined by Company in the
exercise of reasonable discretion. For the purpose of this section, the
insolvency of a Customer shall be evidenced by the filing by Customer or any
parent entity thereof of a voluntary petition in bankruptcy or the entry of a
decree or order by a court having jurisdiction over the premises adjudging
Customer bankrupt or insolvent or approving, as properly filed, a petition
seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition or in respect of
the Customer under the Federal Bankruptcy Act or any other applicable federal or
state law or appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator

follows:
(A) North End Area supplies -- (Supply from the
North End Area Supply Points must provide on
a daily basis at least 55% of the North End

Triangle Area Supply Points must provide on a
daily basis at least 20% of the Triangle Area
nominated deliveries for the months of
November through March.)
(C) All Other Area supplies

(b) Scada Estimates and RSE
Company requirements for reporting Scada estimates and RSE
Volumes:
(1) The RSE volumes for the LDC Load will be reported by
Company by the following three areas:
(A) North End Area
(B) Triangle Area
(C) All Other Areas
(2) The Scada estimates and RSE volumes for the LDC Load
for each area described immediately above will be
provided to Customer as described below and will be
calculated as follows:
4
(A) Sum of all TBS volumes that are available by
daily collected EFM readings for each area.
(B) Less the nominations behind those TBS for
Industrial Load as required pursuant to
Section II of Schedule A-4 attached to
Exhibit A-4 of the Service Agreement.
(C) Plus an estimate for the remaining 15% of the
TBS volume based on a proration of the daily
collected EFM readings.
(D) Plus an estimate of the rural system volumes
for each area based on a proration of the
daily collected EFM readings.
(3) A Scada estimate of the LDC Load by area for each gas
Day will be communicated to Customer by 12:00 noon
following the end of each gas Day by fax, e-mail,
phone, or other electronic means that may be
available in the future.
(4) The RSE volumes for the listed TBS's will be
available two working Days after the end of the gas
Day by fax or other electronic means that may be
available in the future. Once available, the RSE for
LDC Load based on the actual TBS volumes will be
calculated using the methodology described above and
communicated to Customer by 12:00 noon on the second
Day following the end of the gas Day by fax, e-mail,
phone, or other electronic means that may be
available in the future.
(c) Imbalances
(1) If the Company and the Customer have agreed to the LDC
Load forecast for every Day of a Month, then there
shall be no Daily Cashout pursuant to Section 11(d)
below. On a daily basis any imbalance between the
actual deliveries to the Company at the Point(s) of
Receipt for the LDC Load and the RSE for such Day in
excess of five percent (5%) of the RSE for that Day,
shall automatically be reduced by delivering gas into
or withdrawing gas from storage pursuant to and only
as allowed by the Storage Agreement for such Day. If
after such automatic balancing the imbalance still
exceeds five percent (5%) of the RSE for that Day then
such excess shall also be deemed to be an overrun
delivery into or withdrawal from storage pursuant to
the Storage Agreement except that Customer shall not
pay to Company any overrun fee imposed by the Storage
Agreement.
(2) When there is no agreement between Company and
Customer as to the LDC Load forecast for any or all
Days during a month, then for each such Day, Customer
nominations (as actually scheduled) for the LDC Load
on a daily basis to Company shall be within the
tolerance as described in Section 11(d) below when
compared to the sum for such Day of (A) the RSE and
(B) any intra-Day delivery adjustments requested by
Company and provided by Customer. On a daily basis any
imbalance between the actual deliveries to the Company
at the Point(s) of Receipt for the LDC Load and the
RSE for such Day in excess of five percent (5%) of the
RSE for that Day, shall automatically be reduced by
delivering gas into or
5
withdrawing gas from storage pursuant to and only as
allowed by the Storage Agreement for such Day. If
after such automatic balancing the imbalance still
exceeds five percent (5%) of the RSE for that Day then
(C) if allowed by Company in its sole discretion, such
excess may be injected into or withdrawn from storage
pursuant to and only as allowed by the Storage
Agreement as an overrun and Customer will pay for any
such overruns in accordance with the Storage
Agreement; or (D) if storage overrun is not available,
Customer shall be subject to the requirements
described in Section II(d) below.
(d) Daily Cashout
(1) If nominations of gas as actually scheduled at the
Point(s) of Receipt for the LDC Load on any given Day
(Imbalance Day) exceed the sum of Subsections
II(c)(2)(A) and (B) on such Day by greater than five
percent (5%), Company shall purchase from Customer (on
an MMBtu basis) any gas volumes in excess of five
percent (5%) on that Imbalance Day at a rate
equivalent to ninety percent (90%) of the published
price shown for the Day that the RSE for such
Imbalance Day is communicated to Customer in the
publication, Gas Daily, as found in the chart entitled
"Daily Price Survey," under the column entitled
"Midpoint" for the Permian Basin Area for "Texas
intras, Waha Area."
(2) If the sum of Subsections II (c)(2)(A) and (B) on any
given Day exceeds the nominations of gas as actually
scheduled at the Point(s) of Receipt for the LDC Load
on such Day (Imbalance Day) by greater than five
percent (5%), Customer shall purchase from Company (on
an MMBtu basis) any gas volumes in excess of five
percent (5%) on that Imbalance Day at a rate
equivalent to the published price shown for the Day
that the RSE for such Imbalance Day is communicated to
Customer in the publication, Gas Daily, as found in
the chart entitled "Daily Price Survey," under the
column entitled "Midpoint" for the Permian Basin Area
for "Texas intras, Waha area" times one hundred ten
percent (110%).
(e) In-kind Balancing
At the end of each month and after taking into account the
buying of gas pursuant to Sections II(d) above, if there is
any monthly imbalance between Company and Customer (including
without limitation any imbalances within the five percent (5%)
tolerance as described above), it shall be eliminated by
in-kind balancing within sixty (60) days after the date of the
invoice which initially documents such imbalance.
(f) Payment
With respect to any imbalance payment due, if due by Company,
it shall be paid by Company within thirty (30) days after the
Company notifies Customer of such
6
imbalance; and if due by Customer, it shall be paid by
Customer within thirty (30) Days of receipt of invoice from
Company of such imbalance.
(g) Right of First Refusal
If at the termination of the LDC transportation contract,
Company shall obtain a bona fide, executed written offer from
a responsible and ready, willing and able party to transport
gas on that part of Company's system which is used to serve
Customer's LDC transportation customers as shown on the list
provided below Company, without identifying the party
submitting such offer, shall submit an exact copy of such
offer to Customer. Customer shall have the right, exercisable
by written notice delivered to Company within thirty (30) days
from the date of delivery of an exact copy of such offer to
Customer, to enter into a transportation agreement with
Company for the price and on the same terms and conditions
contained in such offer. If Customer does not timely exercise
its right of first refusal, Company may complete the
transportation arrangement pursuant to and on the terms of
such third party offer and Customer shall no longer have any
right of first refusal pursuant to this Service Agreement.
(h) Reduction Rights
Should Company directly serve an LDC transportation customer
and Customer is no longer involved at all in delivering gas to
such transportation customer, then Company shall reduce the
Demand Quantity by the amount set opposite such transportation
customer's name on the list attached hereto as List A-5 to
this Schedule X- 0. Customer shall provide Company a list of
the LDC transportation customers and shall be attached hereto
as List A-5 to this Schedule X- 0. The maximum aggregate
reduction for all LDC transportation customers (under the
Agreement and all Exhibits and Schedules attached thereto)
shall be 208,000 MMBtu/day.
