              The Parties identified below, in consideration of
      their mutual promises, agree as follows:

            	  	  	  
	  
	
              1.  

            	
              Transporter:
      COLORADO INTERSTATE GAS COMPANY

            	  	  	  
	  
	
              2.  

            	
              Shipper:
      PUBLIC SERVICE COMPANY OF COLORADO

            	  	  	  
	  
	
              3.  

            	
              Applicable
      Tariff: Transporter’s FERC Gas Tariff, First Revised Volume No. 1,
      as the same may be amended or superseded from time to time (“the
      Tariff”).

            	  	  	  
	  
	
              4.  

            	
              Changes
      in Rates and Terms: Transporter shall have the right to propose to
      the FERC changes in its rates and terms of service, and this Agreement
      shall be deemed to include any changes which are made effective pursuant
      to FERC Order or regulation or provisions of law, without prejudice to
      Shipper’s right to protest the same.

            	  	  	  
	  
	
              5.  

            	
              Transportation
      Service: Transportation Service at and between Point of Withdrawal
      and Primary Point(s) of Delivery shall be on a firm basis. Delivery of
      quantities at Secondary Point(s) shall be in accordance with the
      Tariff.

            	  	  	  
	  
	
              6.  

            	
              Delivery:
      Transporter agrees to transport and deliver Delivery Quantities to Shipper
      (or for Shipper’s account) at the Point(s) of Delivery identified in the
      attached Exhibit “A.” Minimum and Maximum delivery pressures, as
      applicable, are listed on Exhibit “A.”

            	  	  	  
	  
	
              7.  

            	
              Rates
      and Surcharges: As set forth in Exhibit “B.” For example,
      Transporter and Shipper may agree that a specified discount rate will
      apply: (a) only to certain specified firm service entitlements under
      this Agreement; (b) only if specified quantity levels are actually
      achieved under this Agreement (with higher rates, charges, and fees
      applicable to all quantities above those levels, or to all quantities
      under the Agreement if the specified levels are not achieved);
      (c) only to production reserves committed by the Shipper;
      (d) only during specified time periods; (e) only to specified
      Point(s) of Receipt, Point(s) of Delivery, mainline area segments, supply
      areas, Transportation routes, or defined geographical areas under the
      associated Transportation Agreement; or (f) in a specified
      relationship to the quantities actually Delivered (i.e., that the rates
      shall be adjusted in a specified relationship to quantities actually
      Delivered); provided, however, that any such discounted rates set forth
      above shall be between the minimum and maximum rates applicable to the
      service provided under this Agreement.

            	  	  	  
	  
	
                 

            	
              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 rates 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 that had
      been charged under a discount agreement exceeded rates which ultimately
      are found to be just and reasonable.

            	  	  	  
	  
	
              8.

              The gas
      delivered at this Point of Delivery shall be equal to an input factor
      (heating value divided by the square root of the specific gravity) of
      1,319, plus or minus 6 percent, unless otherwise agreed to by Shipper
      and Transporter.

              Deliveries at
      Transporter’s South Pueblo Point of Delivery shall be measured at
      Transporter’s South Pueblo measurement station, and delivery shall be at
      the terminus of Transporter’s pipeline located at Shipper’s regulator
      station at the intersection of U.S. Highway 50 and Santa Fe Drive.
      Delivery pressure shall be determined at the point of
      measurement.

            	 
    	 
    	 
    
	 
    
	
              (7)  

            	
              Shipper may
      take gas at this Point of Delivery at pressures up to 90 p.s.i.g. when
      Transporter has such pressure available.
