ARTICLE II
TERM

Section 2.1 Term. This Agreement shall be effective as of the Effective Date and shall continue in full force and effect through (**) (the “Primary Term”), and (a) the effectiveness may be extended until (**) (the “Option Term”) in accordance with the terms and conditions contained herein, if the Processor and Customer mutually agree to such Option Term and such agreement is evidenced by a writing signed by both Processor and Customer, or (b), if the Option Term is not agreed upon, the effectiveness will be extended (the “Alternative Term”) upon other terms and conditions to be negotiated in good faith by Processor and Customer prior to the expiration of the Primary Term; provided that such negotiations (i) shall be conducted exclusively between Processor and Customer, (ii) shall be based on and take into account Processor’s costs, overhead, and capital expenditures required to continue performance hereunder, and (iii) shall provide Processor with a rate of return based on the greater of Processor’s historical rates of return under this Agreement or twelve percent after taxes. If the parties hereto have not agreed to the Option Term at least ninety (90) Days prior to the conclusion of the Primary Term, they shall promptly enter into good faith negotiations to determine the Alternative Term, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to agree upon an Alternative Term prior to the expiration of the Primary Term. This Agreement shall continue in full force and effect after the Option Term or Alternative Term, as applicable, from Contract Year to Contract Year unless or until terminated either by Customer or Processor upon ninety (90) Days advance written notice to the other party hereto specifying a termination date at the end of the Option Term or Alternative Term, as applicable, or of any Contract Year thereafter.

ARTICLE III
QUANTITY, DELIVERY OF NGLS, EXCHANGE OF PRODUCTS, EXCHANGE DIFFERENTIALS

Section 3.1 Dedicated Plants.

Subject to the provisions herein, Customer shall deliver to Processor all of the NGLs that Customer or its Affiliates Own or Control from the following plants (hereinafter the “Dedicated Plants”), such volume of NGLs from each Dedicated Plant estimated to be the following (the “Estimated Production”):


Dedicated Plants	BPD
Xxxxxxxxx		2,000
Canadian		2,200
Cargray		3,000
Kingsmill/Xxxx		2,500
Lefors		2,200
Xxxxxxxx		3,000

Total:		14,900

B.		Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section, Customer may elect to exempt from delivery hereunder any Propane extracted and fractionated at the Cargray Plant, and sold by Customer at the tailgate of such Plant.

C.		Except as otherwise provided herein, and except for any Take-In-Kind Rights that the Gas Producers have or may have, it is understood and agreed that Customer shall not enter into any agreement that would call for or allow any NGLs Owned or Controlled by Customer or its Affiliates to be marketed by a party other than Customer unless that party agrees in writing that all such NGLs shall be subject to this Agreement for its remaining term, including any extensions or renewals of this Agreement pursuant to the terms hereof. Subject to Article XVIII, ASSIGNMENT, this Agreement shall not be construed to limit or otherwise constrain Customer’s right to grant Take-In-Kind Rights to the Gas Producers. Customer shall exercise commercially reasonable efforts to continue to Own or Control NGLs which are Owned or Controlled at the time this Agreement is entered into or which it may subsequently Own or Control during the term of this Agreement.

Section 3.2 Deliveries, Receipts.

Subject to the following provisions, Processor shall accept the NGLs from Customer tendered hereunder during the term of this Agreement. Although it is the intention of both parties to this Agreement for Processor to receive, and Customer to deliver, the entire production of NGLs from the Dedicated Plants, notwithstanding anything herein however, Processor shall not be required to accept NGLs in excess of 110% of the Estimated Production from any Dedicated Plant if such excess volumes are not economical for Processor to accept and fractionate, in Processor’s sole discretion, and Processor provides written notice of such determination to Customer. If Customer

provides notice to Processor of its desire to amend this Agreement to adjust the Estimated Production during the term of this Agreement, Processor shall not unreasonably refuse such request. If Processor refuses to so amend this Agreement, then upon thirty (30) days notice to Processor, Customer shall have the right to terminate this Agreement with respect to only the volume of NGLs actually produced from such Dedicated Plant(s) which is in excess of 110% of the then-effective Estimated Production for such Dedicated Plant(s).

If, for any period of one hundred and eighty (180) consecutive Days (commencing on or after one (1) Year following the Effective Date), Customer fails to deliver at least ninety percent (90%) of the then-effective Estimated Production from any Dedicated Plant (excluding periods of Force Majeure), then Processor shall have the right, within thirty (30) Days immediately after the expiration of such 180 consecutive Day period, by providing written notice to Customer, to reduce the then-effective Estimated Production to the average daily NGL volume actually delivered from the Dedicated Plant at issue during such 180 consecutive Day period (excluding periods of Force Majeure). Such reduction is to be effective as of the date of Processor’s notice. If the volume of Customer’s NGLs available to be delivered hereunder from a particular Dedicated Plant or Dedicated Plants increases to a level which is in excess of the then-effective Estimated Production, then Customer may request an increase in the then-effective Estimated Production to the volume of NGLs Customer estimates to be available from a Dedicated Plant or Dedicated Plants, which such request will be in writing and detail the basis for the increase or anticipated increase in the NGL volume. Processor shall respond, in writing, to Customer’s request within fifteen (15) Days of Processor’s receipt of Customer’s request. If Processor declines to increase the then-effective Estimated Production applicable to a particular Dedicated Plant or Dedicated Plants then upon thirty (30) days notice to Processor, Customer shall have the right to terminate this Agreement with respect to only the volume of NGLs actually produced from such Dedicated Plant(s) which is in excess of 110% of the then-effective Estimated Production of such Dedicated Plant(s).

Processor recognizes that, from time to time, Customer, by virtue of its agreements with owners of a Dedicated Plant(s), or otherwise may acquire title to or obtain the right under operating, processing or similar agreements to dispose of or market NGLs recovered from natural gas belonging to third parties not a party to this Agreement. To the extent Customer so acquires title or obtains such rights, and subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section, Customer agrees to deliver and Processor agrees to receive such NGLs under the terms and conditions of this Agreement. If any party other than Customer is entitled, under Customer’s agreement with such other party or otherwise, to have redelivered to it Products fractionated from such NGLs, Customer or its representative shall advise Processor each Month of the division of such Products among all such parties, and Processor shall be entitled to rely on such advice in making Product redeliveries, disbursements and accounting.

Section 3.3 Customer’s Deliveries. Customer shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, the NGLs committed hereunder to the interconnection between Processor’s (or its Affiliate’s) facilities and each respective Dedicated Plant’s facilities (“Delivery Point”). Customer has installed or shall cause to be installed and shall operate or cause to be operated, at its cost and expense, any facilities or equipment necessary to deliver the NGLs from the Dedicated Plants to the Delivery Points. Customer shall use all reasonable efforts to deliver such NGLs to Processor at a

consistent and continuous flow over a twenty-four (24) hour period, and Processor shall use all reasonable efforts to deliver Products at the Exchange Points at a consistent and continuous flow. Customer shall deliver the NGLs (i) at temperatures set forth in Exhibit “Y”, and (ii) at pressures sufficient to deliver the NGLs into Processor’s or its Affiliate’s facilities at the Delivery Points which shall be greater than or equal to 600 psig and less than 1440 psig. Processor shall exchange Products with Customer for the NGLs Processor receives at the applicable exchange differentials specified below.

Section 3.4 Linefill, Product Volumes.

“Linefill” shall mean a volume of Products equal to the daily mean of the volume of Products fractionated from NGLs produced at the Dedicated Plants, times seven (7).

During the first Contract Year, Linefill shall be calculated using the 18 Month period immediately prior to the Effective Date as the basis for such calculation. During the first Contract Year, beginning on the Effective Date, Processor shall retain the first Barrels of Products otherwise deliverable to Customer pursuant to this Agreement until the Linefill requirement has been satisfied. After the Linefill requirement has been satisfied, Processor shall deliver all additional Products as required pursuant to the other terms and conditions of this Agreement.

At the beginning of each succeeding Contract Year, the parties will calculate a then-current linefill requirement (the “Current Linefill Requirement”) for such Contract Year which shall mean the daily mean of the volume of Products fractionated from NGLs produced at the Dedicated Plants during the 12 Month period immediately prior to the Contract Year, times seven (7). Linefill will remain unchanged unless the calculation of the Current Linefill Requirement is at least twenty-five percent (25%) greater than, or at least twenty-five percent (25%) less than the Linefill (a “Material Variance”). In the event of a Material Variance then: i) the Linefill for the Contract Year under consideration will be adjusted to equal the Current Linefill Requirement and ii) Processor shall, over the three month period immediately following of the Contract Year under consideration, ratably redeliver on a daily basis or ratably withhold on a daily basis the volume of Products necessary to balance the imbalances of the Linefill provision of this exchange.

At all times, Processor shall retain title to and possession of a volume of Linefill as security for Customer’s performance of its obligations herein. Except as provided for in both the immediately preceding and next sentences of this Section, Processor shall exchange with Customer, during the Month of delivery of NGLs by Customer, a number of Barrels of each Product calculated according to the number of Barrels of each hydrocarbon component contained in the NGLs delivered by Customer to Processor. For purposes of calculating the amount of Products to be exchanged with Customer hereunder, methane delivered up to the limits set forth in Exhibit “Y” shall be deemed to be ethane, but no credit will be given anywhere for methane delivered in excess of the limits set forth in Exhibit “Y”, or for carbon dioxide or other non-hydrocarbon components contained in the NGLs delivered to Processor. Upon termination of this Agreement, and provided that Customer has performed all of its obligations herein, Processor shall return and deliver Linefill to Customer after ninety days from the date that Customer has performed all of its obligations herein.

Section 3.5 Exchange Points. Subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, Processor shall exchange Products with Customer at the following destinations (collectively referred to as the “Exchange Points” or individually as an “Exchange Point”) as designated from time to time by Customer, as set forth below:

XXXXX/Xxxx Xxxxxxxx 000, Xxxxxx, Xxxxxx (“Location A”);

Inlet Flange, Enterprise, Mont Belvieu, Texas or the Inlet Flange, Dynegy Midstream Services, Limited Partnership, Mont Belvieu, Texas, as mutually agreed between Customer and Processor (“Location B”); and/or

Xxxxxx Xxxxxx/Xxxx Junction, Reno County, Kansas (“Location C”).

Texaco Delivery Point, Xxxxxx, Kansas (“Location D”)

Fifty percent (50%) of the E/P attributable to all the Dedicated Plants shall be delivered by Processor to Customer at Location B each Month. The remainder shall be delivered to Location A. Notwithstanding, however, Customer shall have the right to request delivery of the lesser of: i) 26,000 barrels or ii) 50% of E/P attributable to all the Dedicated Plants at Location C. Such request from Customer must be in writing, be received at least ten (10) Days prior to the beginning of each Month’s redeliveries, and shall contain the volume so requested.

The C3+ attributable to all the Dedicated Plants shall be delivered by Processor to Customer at Location A, C and/or Location D as designated by Customer. Customer shall advise Processor in writing of the desired Exchange Point for the C3+ due Customer at least ten (10) Days prior to the beginning of each Month’s redeliveries. Customer may elect to have part of a Product constituting C3+ delivered to Location A, and the remainder of such Product constituting C3+ to Location D and/or C. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Customer may not: i) nominate C3+ Products other than Iso Butane and Natural Gasoline to Location D; ii) nominate in any Month more than 39,000 Barrels of Iso Butane; and iii) nominate in any Month more than 39,000 Barrels of Natural Gasoline.

During and after the Option Term, if applicable, Location B shall not be available as an Exchange Point, and Processor shall have no obligation to make deliveries of any kind at Location B after the Primary Term.

Section 3.6 Exchange Differential. For each Gallon of NGLs delivered to Processor, Customer shall pay Processor an exchange differential (“Base Exchange Differential”) as set forth below and as adjusted pursuant to Subsection 3.6.B below:

*		Each applicable Base Exchange Differential shall be increased by $0.007 per Gallon after the Primary Term, such increase to be applicable during and after the Option Term, if applicable.

A.		In addition to any other fees and charges due hereunder, the parties agree that if any third party charges a fee for receiving Products (whether in connecting pipelines or in storage facilities), Customer shall pay such charges either by: i) reimbursing Processor therefor, or ii) paying such charges directly to such third party; with i) or ii) being at Processor’s option.

B.		Adjustment to Base Exchange Differential.

	(i)		Fuel Gas Adjustment. The Base Exchange Differential shall be adjusted at the beginning of each Month commencing with the Month of initial deliveries hereunder by an amount attributable to the change in Processor’s Fuel Gas Cost incurred during the Month prior to the Month in question, and compared to the Base Rate, all as more fully described in Appendix 1 hereto, and using the Efficiency Levels set forth therein. The Base Rate for actual Fuel Gas Costs shall equal the amount set forth in Appendix 1.

	(ii)		Electrical Adjustment. The Base Exchange Differential shall be adjusted at the beginning of each Month commencing with the Month of initial deliveries hereunder by an amount attributable to the change in Processor’s actual electrical power costs, for the Fractionator and Processor’s gathering system connected to the Fractionator, incurred during the Month prior to the Month in question, and compared to the Base Rate, all as more fully described in Appendix 1 hereto. The Efficiency Levels and Base Rates for actual electrical power costs shall equal the amount set forth in Appendix 1.

	(iii)		CPIU Adjustment. The Base Exchange Differential shall be adjusted at the beginning of each Contract Year by multiplying the Base Exchange Differential by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (U.S. city average, all items, not seasonally adjusted, the “CPI”) for the last Month of the just concluded Contract Year, and the denominator of which is CPI for the last Month of the prior Contract Year. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the CPI has declined from the prior Contract Year, then the adjustment provided for in the prior sentence shall not be performed.

	(iv)		Adjusted Base Exchange Differential. The Base Exchange Differential, as adjusted in accordance with this Section, shall be referred to herein as the “Adjusted Base Exchange Differential.” Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall such adjustments reduce the Adjusted Base Exchange Differential below the Base Exchange Differential. An example, for illustrative purposes only, of the above adjustments is attached as Appendix 1.

Section 3.7 Quality Adjustment Fees. In addition to the Adjusted Base Exchange Differential specified above, Customer shall pay Processor the quality adjustment fees specified below.

CO2 Quality Adjustment Fees. In addition to the Base Exchange Differential, as adjusted, Customer shall pay Processor a CO2 quality adjustment fee (“Non-S&P CO2 Quality Adjustment Fee”) for each Dedicated Plant as specified below in this Section 3.7.A (i). For purposes of determining the Non-S&P CO2 Quality Adjustment Fees for each plant, the term “CO2 Content” shall mean the liquid volume percentage ratio of the Carbon Dioxide (“CO2”) to the ethane contained in the NGLs delivered hereunder. As further specified in Exhibit “Y”, if Customer tenders NGLs to Processor with a CO2 Content of greater than two and one-half percent (2.5%) by liquid volume of the ethane (hereinafter referred to as “Non-S&P High CO2 NGLs”), Processor shall have the right to reject such Non-S&P High CO2 NGLs from any Dedicated Plant. In such event, Processor shall, as soon as reasonably possible, notify Customer of its election to reject such Non-S&P High CO2 NGLs. If Processor accepts Non-S&P High CO2 NGLs, no additional CO2 quality fees other than the fees set forth in this Section shall be charged to Customer. Failure of Processor to exercise its right to refuse Non-S&P High CO2 NGLs from time to time shall not constitute a waiver of said right with respect to future deliveries of Non-S&P High CO2 NGLs pursuant to this Agreement. In addition, Customer shall use reasonable efforts to notify Processor when they have or expect to produce or deliver Non-S&P High CO2 NGLs.


		CO2 Quality Adjustment Fee, per Barrel of NGLs
CO2 Content		Delivered hereunder at the Delivery Point(s).
0.35% or less		No Fee
> 0.35%, but < 1.0%		$0.10*
1.0%, but < 2.5%		$0.50*
2.5% or more		$2.00*


*		Each applicable CO2 Quality Adjustment fee shall be increased by 1.3 times after the Primary Term, such increase to be applicable during and after the Option Term, if applicable.


B.		Excess Methane Quality Adjustment Fees. If the ratio of the methane to the ethane delivered hereunder in the NGLs is equal to or greater than two percent (2.0%) on a liquid volume basis, then Processor shall charge Customer or deduct from the payments due Customer hereunder an Excess Methane Quality Adjustment Fee equal to five cents ($0.05)* per Barrel of NGLs delivered at the Delivery Point at issue. As further specified in Exhibit Y, if Customer tenders NGLs to Processor with an methane to ethane ratio of 1.5% or more, Processor shall have no obligation to accept such NGLs.


*		The Excess Methane Quality Adjustment fee shall be increased by 1.3 times after the Primary Term, such increase to be applicable during and after the Option Term, if applicable.

Section 3.8 Alternative Connections. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if any of the Dedicated Plants are shut down or the natural gas and NGLs previously being processed in such Dedicated Plant(s) are diverted to another gas plant(s) that is not a Dedicated Plant (“Non-dedicated Plant(s)”), Processor (or its Affiliate) shall have the right, at its option, to connect to the Non-dedicated Plant(s) in order to receive the NGLs Customer or its Affiliates Own or Control that would have otherwise been extracted at the Dedicated Plants. In the event of such a diversion, Customer shall, within thirty (30) Days prior to such diversion, notify Processor of the diversion. If Processor wishes to exercise its option, it shall so notify Customer, within thirty (30) Days of its receipt of Customer’s notice, of Processor’s intent (or its Affiliate’s) to so connect to the Non-dedicated Plant(s), and shall, at Processor’s (or its Affiliate’s) own cost and expense, connect the Non-dedicated Plant(s) as soon as is reasonably practicable, but in no event to exceed three hundred and sixty-five (365) days. Upon such connection, the NGLs Owned or Controlled by Customer or its Affiliates which were so diverted and are produced at such Non-dedicated Plant(s) shall be delivered under the terms and conditions of this Agreement. If Processor (or its Affiliate) does not so connect the Non-dedicated Plant(s) for delivery hereunder, the NGLs Owned or Controlled by Customer or its Affiliates which were diverted and are produced at such Non-dedicated Plant(s) shall be released from this Agreement. Provided, however, NGLs which are diverted to another gas plant connected and flowing NGLs to Processor or its Affiliate shall continue to be delivered hereunder pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The interconnection between Processor’s, or its Affiliate’s, facilities and the Non-dedicated Plant(s) facilities shall be deemed an additional Delivery Point under this Agreement.

ARTICLE IV
STATEMENTS AND PAYMENTS

Section 4.1 On a Monthly basis, Processor shall prepare and transmit to Customer an invoice reflecting exchange activity that describes receipts, deliveries, differentials, quality adjustment fees, and other charges due and owing for NGLs and Products exchanged hereunder. Customer shall pay the amount of the invoice within ten (10) Days after Customer’s receipt of such invoice. Such invoice shall be transmitted by electronic mail or facsimile from Processor to Customer. Said invoice shall be sent and be deemed received as set forth in Article VI below.

ARTICLE V
TERMINATION OF PRIOR AGREEMENTS

Section 5.1 On the Effective Date, all previous contracts and agreements between Customer (and/or its Affiliates) and Processor (and/or its Affiliates) pertaining to the exchange of NGLs from the Dedicated Plants shall terminate with respect to such Dedicated Plants and be superseded by this Agreement.

Section 8.2 Customer, or its representative, may, at its option and expense, install and maintain check measurement equipment, which shall not interfere with the use of Processor’s measurement equipment, or that of its designee, and which installation and operation of such equipment shall also not interfere with the flow of NGLs or other natural gas liquids through Processor’s fractionation facility of other facilities. Customer, or its representative, shall have access during normal business hours to observe the equipment of Processor’s measurement stations, or that of Processor’s designees, but the reading, calibrating and adjusting thereof shall be done only by the employees, agents, representatives, or designees of Processor. Similarly, should Customer exercise its option to install check measurement equipment, Customer will comply with all directions of Processor relative to environmental, health and safety while on the premises of Processor’s fractionation, or other, facilities. Processor shall have access at all reasonable times to the check measuring equipment, but the reading, calibrating and adjusting thereof shall be done only by the employees, agents, or representatives of Customer. Customer may also install, at its sole option and its sole cost and expense, equipment that will receive electronic information generated

by Processor’s on-line flow computer. The electronic information may be either electronic analog or streaming digital. Such electronic information obtained by Customer may be used for internal business purposes only. Customer’s equipment will not interfere with, and will be sufficiently isolated to protect, Processor’s equipment. Processor may also install, at its sole option and at its sole cost and expense, equipment that will receive electronic information generated by Customer’s on-line analyzer (Gas Chromatograph used for the analysis of demethanized liquid hydrocarbon). The electronic information may be either electronic analog or streaming digital. Processor’s equipment will not interfere with, and will be sufficiently isolated to protect, Customer’s equipment. Such electronic information obtained by Processor may be used for internal business purposes only.

Section 8.3 Meter tickets shall be written once at the end of the accounting period. Processor, or its designee, shall promptly provide Customer a copy of each such meter ticket. On a scheduled Day of each Month, or at other mutually agreeable intervals, Processor, or Processor’s designee, shall test and verify the accuracy of its measurement equipment in accordance with the appropriate above-referenced standards. Processor, or its designee, shall give Customer notice of the date and time of each such test sufficiently in advance to permit Customer to have a representative present to witness such test. Processor or its designee shall promptly provide Customer a copy of each test result. If either party to this Agreement shall notify the other party that it desires a special test of the measurement equipment, the parties shall cooperate to secure a prompt verification of such equipment.

Section 8.4 Meter and Density Factor Deviation. The determined meter and density factors shall be applied to the daily registered volume and mass for that measurement station until the next applicable correction is determined. If any test shows the meter or density factor is not in error more than 0.25%, such equipment will be considered as correct; but such equipment or correction factors will be properly adjusted at once to zero error. If any test shows the meter or densitometer factor then in use, are in error by more than 0.25% but less than 0.50%, it shall be the decision of the concerned field personnel as to the scope and corrective action taken towards the repair of the equipment, if any. Deviation of factor(s) greater than 0.50% will not be acceptable and Processor shall proceed with diligence to effect the required maintenance, repairs or replacement. If any test shows the meter or densitometer is not in error more than a total of one-quarter of one percent (0.25%), previous readings of such equipment will be considered as correct; but such equipment or correction factors will be properly adjusted at once to zero error.

Section 8.4.1 Volume Adjustments. If any test shows the meter or densitometer factor then in use is in error by more than one-quarter of one percent (0.25%), such equipment or correction factor will be properly adjusted at once to zero error and the previous readings of such equipment will be corrected for any prior period of inaccuracy which is known definitely or agreed upon. For any error not known or agreed upon for the period in which the equipment was inaccurate or out of service, the volume of NGLs shall be determined by the first of the following methods that is applicable:

	A.		Using measurements from accurate check meters which were in operation during the period to be corrected;

	B.		by correcting the error if the percentage of error is ascertainable by calibration test or calculation; or


	C.		by a method to be agreed upon by both parties.

The correction shall be retroactive for one-half (1/2) of the period affected, but not to exceed 16 Days.

Section 8.5 NGLs delivered by truck, if any, shall be measured by Processor’s scales, or that of its designee. Scales must be designed and calibrated in accordance with Industry standard GPA 8186 (latest edition) — Measurement of Liquid Hydrocarbons by Truck Scale. Volumes shall be calculated in accordance with API 14.7 — Mass Measurement of Natural Gas Liquids.

Section 8.6 The automatic flow proportional sampling equipment installed at the Delivery Points shall be operated by Processor or that of its designee, and shall be designed to accumulate a representative sample proportional to the flow of the NGLs passing through the measurement facilities, shall be designed to prevent Product vaporization, and shall be equipped with mixing facilities to eliminate any stratification. All sampling shall be conducted in accordance with GPA Standard 2174 (latest edition) — Obtaining Liquid Hydrocarbon Samples for Analysis by Gas Chromatography. The sampling equipment shall collect a liquid volume to be agreed during the sampling period. Processor or its designee shall fill sample transportation containers from the sampler, for subsequent analysis, at a mutually agreeable time. The number of samples to be taken may be changed by agreement in writing between Processor and Customer. Each sample collected shall be divided into three identical samples. One sample shall be shipped to Processor’s central laboratory in Medford, Oklahoma, for analysis. Such sample shall be analyzed in accordance with GPA Standard 2177 (latest edition) and Processor shall provide Customer a copy of the results of each such analysis within five (5) working Days from the end of the Month in which the production occurred. The molecular weight and pounds per Gallon of the hexane and heavier fraction shall be determined analytically in accordance with GPA Standard 2186 (latest edition). Customer may, at its option, analyze one of the remaining samples to verify the accuracy of Processor’s analysis. Unless contested by Customer, the analysis so determined by Processor shall be used as the official analysis for accounting purposes. The remaining sample shall be retained by Processor for a period of at least thirty (30) Days. If Customer and Processor are unable to mutually agree on the analysis, the retained sample shall be sent to a mutually agreeable independent laboratory for analysis. In the event the liquid volume percentage for any laboratory is less than ninety-five (95%) percent or more than one hundred five (105%) percent of the percentage determined by Processor for these same components, the commercial analysis shall be used rather than Processor’s analysis, and Processor shall bear the cost of the analysis conducted by the laboratory; otherwise, however, the analysis conducted by Processor shall be used exclusively and Customer shall bear the cost of the commercial laboratory’s analysis. In the event that a sample is not available for a particular period, the parties shall determine an analysis based on the most recent mutually accepted data.

Section 8.7 Volumes of the NGLs delivered at the Delivery Point, and each component thereof, shall be calculated according to GPA Standard 8173 (latest edition).

ARTICLE IX
QUALITY

Section 9.1 Customer shall deliver NGLs which (a) are merchantable, (b) meet Processor’s specifications as such specifications may change from time to time to meet pipeline and other downstream requirements, the most current of which are contained in Exhibit Y, and (c) are free from dust, free of entrained water, and other impurity, as determined by Processor, in its sole discretion. Processor shall have the right, but not the obligation, to modify such specifications to meet or conform to downstream pipeline or market revisions or requirements with thirty (30) Days prior notice to Customer. All NGLs shall be received subject to Processor’s inspection and rejection. If Processor determines Customer has delivered NGLs that have contaminated the common fungible stream, Processor may treat or otherwise dispose of the contaminated stream in any reasonable commercial manner at Customer’s sole cost and expense. Customer shall indemnify, reimburse and hold Processor harmless from and against all claims, penalties, treating or blending fees, losses, costs, expenses, liabilities or damages of any kind or nature (including reasonable attorney’s fees and court costs associated therewith) (collectively “Losses”) arising out of or related to Customer’s delivery to Processor of NGLs not meeting the aforementioned quality standards and/or specifications on Exhibit “Y”.

Section 9.2 All NGLs shall be received subject to Processor’s (i) inspection, and (ii) rejection if such NGLs fail to meet the quality specifications of this Agreement. Failure of Processor to exercise its right of rejection from time to time shall not constitute a waiver of said right with respect to future deliveries of NGLs pursuant to this Agreement.

Section 9.3 All Products shall be redelivered subject to Customer’s (i) inspection, and (ii) rejection if such Products fail to meet the quality specifications of this Agreement. Failure of Customer to exercise its right of rejection from time to time shall not constitute a waiver of said right with respect to future redeliveries of Products pursuant to this Agreement.

ARTICLE X

ARTICLE XVII
INTERPRETATION

Section 17.1 This Agreement sets forth the final and complete agreement between the parties with respect to this subject matter and supersedes all prior contracts, understandings, negotiations and dealings between the parties with respect to this subject matter. No modification of, addition to, or waiver of any of the terms of this Agreement shall be binding upon either party unless in writing and signed by an authorized representative of such party, nor shall any such waiver constitute a continuing waiver unless expressly provided in writing by the party to be charged with such waiver. Neither course of performance, nor course of dealing, nor usage of trade shall be used to qualify, explain or supplement any of the terms of this Agreement. This Agreement shall be governed exclusively according to the laws of the State of Oklahoma without giving effect to its principles regarding conflicts of laws.

ARTICLE XVIII
ASSIGNMENT

Section 18.1 The rights and obligations of this Agreement shall bind and inure to the respective successors and assigns of the parties hereto. However, any assignment or attempted assignment, except to an Affiliate, shall be void without the prior written consent of the other party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, delayed or denied except for reasons which may include, but not be limited to the creditworthiness of the assignee. Customer further agrees that it and its Affiliates will not sell or assign their interest in the NGLs subject to this Agreement or processed in the Dedicated Plants unless (i) they first obtain Processor’s prior written consent to such sale or assignment, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; (ii) contemporaneously with such sale or assignment, this Agreement is assigned to such assignee; and (iii) the buyer or assignee agrees, in a writing executed by an authorized representative of the buyer or assignee and delivered to Processor, that the NGLs so sold or assigned shall be bound by, and subject to this Agreement. If a Dedicated Plant(s) is transferred, assigned, conveyed or otherwise disposed of, this Agreement shall be deemed a separate agreement covering the particular Dedicated Plant(s) so transferred, assigned, conveyed or otherwise disposed of.

ARTICLE XIX
CREDIT

Section 19.1 Either party may, from time to time, demand different terms of payment, assurance of payment, assurances of performance, or other credit terms whenever such party reasonably determines, in its sole discretion, that a material adverse change in the delivering party’s financial condition so warrants, or in the event either party grants or attempts to grant to any third party a security interest or lien in the NGLs or Products to be delivered and exchanged hereunder. In any such event, and upon written notice specifying the event or events warranting the change in terms of payment or of credit, assurance of payment, or assurances of performance, the party may withhold exchange or delivery or refuse acceptance of deliveries pending agreement to and performance of the revised terms, including, but not limited to, (i) prepayment, (ii) cash on delivery, and/or (iii) the posting of an appropriate bond, irrevocable letter of credit or other security to secure the other party’s obligations hereunder in a form and from an institution satisfactory to the party withholding performance. If the party in question refuses to give adequate assurance of due or future performance or payment upon demand therefor, the party demanding such assurance may treat such failure or refusal as a repudiation of this Agreement as to that portion not yet performed in addition to any other remedy it may have at law or at equity. In the event that a party fails to make payment when due, files or has filed against it a petition or complaint in bankruptcy, insolvency or receivership (defaulting party) the party to whom such payment is owed (nondefaulting party) shall be authorized to sell any NGLs or Products, as the case may be, the custody to which were theretofore transferred to the nondefaulting party by the defaulting party (such as linefill, exchange imbalances, and NGLs received but not yet redelivered) and to setoff and apply the proceeds from such sale to the extent necessary to cover the nondefaulting party’s damages resulting from the defaulting party’s failure to make payment or otherwise perform as herein contemplated; and to the extent of the application of the proceeds from such sale to the nondefaulting party’s damages, the nondefaulting party shall be discharged from its obligation to deliver or redeliver NGLs or Products to the defaulting party. Any proceeds from such sale over and above the nondefaulting party’s damages shall be paid to the defaulting party.

ARTICLE XX
PROCESSOR’S SYSTEM SHUTDOWN

Section 20.1 If, in the sole discretion of Processor, the continued operation of a portion of, or all, of Processor’s system becomes uneconomic, then Processor shall have the right to shut down such uneconomic portion of its system with at least a one (1) Year prior written notice to Customer. For purposes of this Article, “Processor’s system” includes all NGL pipelines, fractionation facilities, loading or unloading facilities, or other physical facilities utilized in the performance of this Agreement. If Processor so notifies Customer and shuts down all or a portion of Processor’s system, and declines to accept NGLs from a particular Dedicated Plant or Dedicated Plants, then such Dedicated Plant or such Dedicated Plants shall be released from this Agreement effective on the date that Processor so declines to accept NGLs from such Dedicated Plant or Dedicated Plants.
