  SERVICE AGREEMENT NO. 78833

  CONTROL NO. 2003-06-17-0013

FTS SERVICE AGREEMENT

THIS AGREEMENT, made and entered into this 8th day of April, 2004, by and
between:

     

  Columbia Gas Transmission Corporation

  (“Transporter”)

  AND

  Washington Gas Light Company

  (“Shipper”)

WITNESSETH: That in consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained, the
parties hereto agree as follows:

Section 1. Service to be Rendered. Transporter shall perform and Shipper shall
receive service in accordance with the provisions of the effective FTS Rate
Schedule and applicable General Terms and Conditions of Transporter’s FERC Gas
Tariff, Second Revised Volume No. 1 (Tariff), on file with the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission (Commission), as the same may be amended or superseded in
accordance with the rules and regulations of the Commission. The maximum
obligation of Transporter to deliver gas hereunder to or for Shipper, the
designation of the points of delivery at which Transporter shall deliver or
cause gas to be delivered to or for Shipper, and the points of receipt at which
Shipper shall deliver or cause gas to be delivered, are specified in Appendix A,
as the same may be amended from time to time by agreement between Shipper and
Transporter, or in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Commission.
Service hereunder shall be provided subject to the provisions of Part 284. 223
of Subpart G of the Commission’s regulations. Shipper warrants that service
hereunder is being provided on behalf of Shipper.

Section 2. Term. Service under this Agreement shall commence as of June 1, 2004
, and shall continue in full force and effect until October 31, 2005 and from
Year -to- Year thereafter unless terminated by either party upon 6 Months’
written notice to the other prior to the end of the initial term granted or any
anniversary date thereafter. Pre-granted abandonment shall apply upon
termination of this Agreement, subject to any right of first refusal Shipper may
have under the Commission’s regulations and Transporter’s Tariff.

Section 3. Rates. Shipper shall pay Transporter the charges and furnish
Retainage as described in the above-referenced Rate Schedule, unless otherwise
agreed to by the parties in writing and specified as an amendment to this
Service Agreement. Transporter may agree to discount its rate to Shipper below
Transporter’s maximum rate, but not less than Transporter’s minimum rate. Such
discounted rate may apply to: a) specified quantities (contract demand or
commodity quantities); b) specified quantities above or below a certain level or
all quantities if quantities exceed a certain level; c) quantities during
specified time periods; d) quantities at specified points, locations, or other
defined geographical areas; and e) that a specified discounted rate will apply
in a specified relationship to the quantities actually transported (i.e., that
the reservation charge will be adjusted in a specified relationship to
quantities actually transported). In addition, the discount agreement may
include a provision that if one rate component which was at or below the
applicable maximum rate at the time the discount agreement was executed
subsequently exceeds the applicable maximum rate due to a change in
Transporter’s maximum rate so that such rate component must be adjusted downward
to equal the new applicable maximum rate, then other rate components may be
adjusted upward to achieve the agreed overall rate, so long as none of the
resulting rate components exceed the maximum rate applicable to that rate
component. Such changes to rate components shall be applied prospectively,
commencing with the date a Commission order accepts revised tariff sheets.
However, nothing contained herein shall be construed to alter a refund
obligation under applicable law for any period during which rates which had been
charged under a discount agreement exceeded rates which ultimately are found to
be just and reasonable.

FTS SERVICE AGREEMENT

THIS AGREEMENT, made and entered into this 8th day of April, 2004, by and
between:

Columbia Gas Transmission Corporation
(“Transporter”)
AND
Washington Gas Light Company
(“Shipper”)

WITNESSETH: That in consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained, the
parties hereto agree as follows:

Section 1 . Service to be Rendered. Transporter shall perform and Shipper shall
receive service in accordance with the provisions of the effective FTS Rate
Schedule and applicable General Terms and Conditions of Transporter’s FERC Gas
Tariff, Second Revised Volume No. 1 (Tariff), on file with the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission (Commission), as the same may be amended or superseded in
accordance with the rules and regulations of the Commission. The maximum
obligation of Transporter to deliver gas hereunder to or for Shipper, the
designation of the points of delivery at which Transporter shall deliver or
cause gas to be delivered to or for Shipper, and the points of receipt at which
Shipper shall deliver or cause gas to be delivered, are specified in Appendix A,
as the same may be amended from time to time by agreement between Shipper and
Transporter, or in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Commission.
Service hereunder shall be provided subject to the provisions of Part 284. 223
of Subpart G of the Commission’s regulations. Shipper warrants that service
hereunder is being provided on behalf of Shipper.

Section 2. Term. Service under this Agreement shall commence as of June 1, 2004,
and shall continue in full force and effect until October 31, 2007 and from Year
-to- Year thereafter unless terminated by either party upon 6 Months’ written
notice to the other prior to the end of the initial term granted or any
anniversary date thereafter. Pre-granted abandonment shall apply upon
termination of this Agreement, subject to any right of first refusal Shipper may
have under the Commission’s regulations and Transporter’s Tariff.

Section 3. Rates. Shipper shall pay Transporter the charges and furnish
Retainage as described in the above-referenced Rate Schedule, unless otherwise
agreed to by the parties in writing and specified as an amendment to this
Service Agreement. Transporter may agree to discount its rate to Shipper below
Transporter’s maximum rate, but not less than Transporter’s minimum rate. Such
discounted rate may apply to: a) specified quantities (contract demand or
commodity quantities); b) specified quantities above or below a certain level or
all quantities if quantities exceed a certain level; c) quantities during
specified time periods; d) quantities at specified points, locations, or other
defined geographical areas; and e) that a specified discounted rate will apply
in a specified relationship to the quantities actually transported (i.e., that
the reservation charge will be adjusted in a specified relationship to
quantities actually transported). In addition, the discount agreement may
include a provision that if one rate component which was at or below the
applicable maximum rate at the time the discount agreement was executed
subsequently exceeds the applicable maximum rate due to a change in
Transporter’s maximum rate so that such rate component must be adjusted downward
to equal the new applicable maximum rate, then other rate components may be
adjusted upward to achieve the agreed overall rate, so long as none of the
resulting rate components exceed the maximum rate applicable to that rate
component. Such changes to rate components shall be applied prospectively,
commencing with the date a Commission order accepts revised tariff sheets.
However, nothing contained herein shall be construed to alter a refund
obligation under applicable law for any period during which rates which had been
charged under a discount agreement exceeded rates which ultimately are found to
be just and reasonable.

  SERVICE AGREEMENT NO.     78836  

  CONTROL NO.     2003-06-17-0016  

FTS SERVICE AGREEMENT

THIS AGREEMENT, made and entered into this 8th day of April        , 2004, by
and between:

             Columbia Gas Transmission Corporation
             (“Transporter”)
             AND
             Washington Gas Light Company
             (“Shipper”)

WITNESSETH: That in consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained, the
parties hereto agree as follows:

Section 1. Service to be Rendered. Transporter shall perform and Shipper shall
receive service in accordance with the provisions of the effective FTS Rate
Schedule and applicable General Terms and Conditions of Transporter’s FERC Gas
Tariff, Second Revised Volume No. 1 (Tariff), on file with the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission (Commission), as the same may be amended or superseded in
accordance with the rules and regulations of the Commission. The maximum
obligation of Transporter to deliver gas hereunder to or for Shipper, the
designation of the points of delivery at which Transporter shall deliver or
cause gas to be delivered to or for Shipper, and the points of receipt at which
Shipper shall deliver or cause gas to be delivered, are specified in Appendix A,
as the same may be amended from time to time by agreement between Shipper and
Transporter, or in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Commission.
Service hereunder shall be provided subject to the provisions of Part 284. 223
of Subpart G of the Commission’s regulations. Shipper warrants that service
hereunder is being provided on behalf of Shipper.

Section 2. Term. Service under this Agreement shall commence as of June  1,
2004, and shall continue in full force and effect until October 31, 2008 and
from Year -to- Year thereafter unless terminated by either party upon 6 Months’
written notice to the other prior to the end of the initial term granted or any
anniversary date thereafter. Pre-granted abandonment shall apply upon
termination of this Agreement, subject to any right of first refusal Shipper may
have under the Commission’s regulations and Transporter’s Tariff.

Section 3. Rates. Shipper shall pay Transporter the charges and furnish
Retainage as described in the above-referenced Rate Schedule, unless otherwise
agreed to by the parties in writing and specified as an amendment to this
Service Agreement. Transporter may agree to discount its rate to Shipper below
Transporter’s maximum rate, but not less than Transporter’s minimum rate. Such
discounted rate may apply to: a) specified quantities (contract demand or
commodity quantities); b) specified quantities above or below a certain level or
all quantities if quantities exceed a certain level; c) quantities during
specified time periods; d) quantities at specified points, locations, or other
defined geographical areas; and e) that a specified discounted rate will apply
in a specified relationship to the quantities actually transported (i.e., that
the reservation charge will be adjusted in a specified relationship to
quantities actually transported). In addition, the discount agreement may
include a provision that if one rate component which was at or below the
applicable maximum rate at the time the discount agreement was executed
subsequently exceeds the applicable maximum rate due to a change in
Transporter’s maximum rate so that such rate component must be adjusted downward
to equal the new applicable maximum rate, then other rate components may be
adjusted upward to achieve the agreed overall rate, so long as none of the
resulting rate components exceed the maximum rate applicable to that rate
component. Such changes to rate components shall be applied prospectively,
commencing with the date a Commission order accepts revised tariff sheets.
However, nothing contained herein shall be construed to alter a refund
obligation under applicable law for any period during which rates which had been
charged under a discount agreement exceeded rates which ultimately are found to
be just and reasonable.
