 2. POINTS OF RECEIPT AND POINTS OF DELIVERY 
  
 The Points of Receipt for all Gas delivered or caused to be delivered by XTO to ETF for transportation hereunder shall be at
existing or new mutually agreed points on the ETF pipeline system connected to XTO’s facilities in the Barnett Shale and Bossier production areas, as described on Exhibit “A”. 
  
 ETF will construct, own and operate approximately 264 miles of new pipelines,
and related compression facilities (collectively the “Facilities”), as described below: 
  

 2 









	 	1)	A new pipeline, 36-inch in diameter, originating at or near ETF’s Cleburne compressor station in Johnson County, Texas connecting to ETF’s Reed station in Freestone
County, Texas (the “Cleburne-Reed Pipeline”). 

  

	 	2)	A new pipeline, up to 36-inch in diameter, originating at or near XTO’s Farrar treating facility in Freestone County, Texas connecting to ETF’s Reed station in Freestone
County, Texas (the “Farrar-Reed Pipeline”). 

  

	 	3)	A new pipeline, 42-inch in diameter, originating at or near ETF’s Reed station in Freestone County, Texas, connecting to the Energy Transfer Houston Pipeline 30-inch Texoma
pipeline in Rusk County, Texas (the “Reed-Texoma Pipeline”). 

  

	 	4)	A new pipeline, 36-inch in diameter, originating at HPL’s 30-inch Texoma pipeline in Rusk County, Texas, connecting to various pipelines, including, but not limited to Gulf
South, and NGPL in the Carthage, Texas area (the “Texoma-Carthage Pipeline”). 

  
 In addition, ETF will install sufficient compression on the HPL 30-inch Texoma pipeline system in order to effectuate XTO’s Gas flows to the Texoma
Points of Delivery as allocated by XTO, as described in Paragraph 6, Section B of this Agreement. 
  
 The Points of Delivery for all Gas that ETF transports or causes to be redelivered for the account of XTO hereunder shall be at such points on ETF’s
Facilities in Texas as described on Exhibit “B” (hereinafter called “Points of Delivery”). On or before the eighth (8th) work day of each month ETF shall provide to XTO the total volume of Gas received and delivered
during the preceding month at each of the Points of Receipt and Delivery established hereunder. XTO shall cause the operator of the facilities delivering Gas to ETF for the account of XTO at the Points of Receipt and/or receiving Gas from ETF at the
Points of Delivery for the account of XTO to furnish to ETF a written allocation on or before the tenth (10th) work day of each month allocating all volumes delivered and/ received at such points during the preceding month. In the
event XTO does not cause the operator to furnish, or in the event the operator fails to furnish, such allocation to ETF on or before the tenth (10th) work day of such month, XTO hereby authorizes ETF, at its sole discretion, to estimate the
volumes received or delivered hereunder at such points during the preceding month. Except as otherwise agreed by ETF, such allocation shall be prepared in accordance with XTO’s nomination of the volumes scheduled with ETF to be received and/or
delivered at each point during the preceding month. 
  
 XTO shall
submit nominations to transport Gas on ETF via ETF’s online nomination system. The deadline for submitting nominations for the first (1st) Day of each Month is 11:00 a.m. (CCT), one (1) business day prior to the beginning of each Month. The deadline for submitting timely nominations is 11:00 a.m. (CCT), for next Day flow. The deadline for submitting
evening nominations is 4:00 p.m. (CCT) for next Day flow. 
  
 3.
OWNERSHIP AND CONTROL 
  
 As between ETF and XTO, ETF
shall be deemed to be in control and possession of the Gas after its delivery to ETF at the ETF Point(s) of Receipt and prior to its delivery to XTO or 
  

 3 








 for its account at the ETF Delivery Point. The Party in control and possession of the Gas will be responsible for and
shall indemnify the other Party with respect to any losses, injuries, claims, liabilities or damages caused thereby and occurring while the Gas is in its possession. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither Party shall be indemnified for its own
negligence, and the Parties acknowledge and agree that XTO shall at all times have title to all Gas transported hereunder. 
  
 4. QUANTITY 
  
 Subject to the terms, conditions and limitations contained herein, XTO agrees to deliver, or cause to be delivered to ETF at the Points of Receipt, as
listed on Exhibit “A”, and ETF agrees to accept, or cause to be accepted, on a Firm basis those daily quantities of XTO’s Gas scheduled in accordance with Section 2 and listed on Exhibit “C” and tendered daily at
the Points of Receipt up to the Reserved Capacity, and such additional volumes as XTO may deliver on an interruptible basis as may be mutually agreed by the Parties; provided, however, in no event shall XTO tender volumes of Gas for
transportation hereunder on any Day in excess of the volumes of transport Gas that XTO can utilize at the Points of Delivery each Day. Subject to the terms, conditions and limitations contained herein, XTO agrees to accept, or cause to be accepted,
at the Points of Delivery, and ETF agrees to transport and redeliver, or cause to be transported and redelivered, on a firm basis all volumes received for transportation hereunder up to the Reserved Capacity, and all volumes received on an
interruptible basis for transportation hereunder in excess of the Reserved Capacity, to the Points of Delivery a scheduled daily volume of Gas, in terms of MMBtu, equal to the scheduled daily volume of Gas, in terms of MMBtu, delivered by or
for the account of XTO at the Points of Receipt, less and except Retention Volumes. 
  
 The Parties intend that the physical volumes actually received at the Points of Receipt and redelivered at the Points of Delivery will be equal, less and except Retention Volumes, as close as practicable, on an hourly
and daily basis. Any difference between the actual total physical flow at the Points of Receipt and the total volume redelivered at the Points of Delivery is the “Operational Imbalance”. The Parties will use reasonable best efforts
to minimize and/or eliminate the Operational Imbalance. In the event an operational imbalance or hourly fluctuations between receipts and deliveries is impacting ETF either operationally or economically, ETF shall notify XTO and request that XTO
restrict, interrupt, or reduce its receipts or deliveries of Gas at the Points of Receipt or Points of Delivery, and direct XTO to make adjustments in its receipts or deliveries, in order to maintain a daily and hourly balance or to correct an
imbalance. If XTO fails or refuses to make good faith efforts to follow any such request from ETF, ETF may, without liability hereunder, cease accepting or delivering Gas under this Agreement until the conditions causing the imbalance are corrected.
The Parties agree that confirmed nominations scheduled to be received and redelivered will occur as practicable at a uniform hourly rate or at an hourly rate mutually agreeable to the Parties. The mutually agreeable hourly rate will be communicated
timely in writing or by telephone between the Parties.

 5. TERM 
  
 This Agreement shall become effective on the date of execution by both Parties hereto, and shall continue in force and
effect for a primary term ending ten years from the completion of Facilities as described in Section 2 of this Agreement, and such Facilities are commercially operational (the “Primary Term”). Subject to XTO’s allocation as
described in Paragraph 6(A), effective on the first Day of the Month following the full execution of this Agreement by both Parties, and preceding the Primary Term, ETF will provide Firm transportation services to XTO from the Points of Receipt to
the Points of Delivery, as listed in Paragraph 6(A) (the “Initial Term”). In the event there is an imbalance, in terms of MMBtu, caused by differences in receipt and delivery of quantities hereunder existing on the date of termination of
this Agreement, the Parties will use good faith efforts to correct any such imbalance within the thirty (30) day period following termination of this Agreement. 
  
 6. FEE 
  

	A.	Commencing with the Initial Term: 

  
 ETF will provide XTO with up to an additional XXXX MMBtu per Day of Firm transportation service for its Equity Gas production from the combination of
XTO’s Farrar Treating Facility (meter number 7508), and XTO’s BOA Treating Facility (meter number 7507), both of which are currently connected to ETF’s pipeline system, to be redelivered to the Oasis-Katy Header, in Waller County,
Texas (the “Bossier Additional Capacity”). 
  
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, XTO will provide ETF with at least 30 days written notice of the desired Bossier Additional Capacity, for each following Month. Any such capacity requested, may not be relinquished for any succeeding Month,
unless such requested capacity was not utilized by XTO, due to an event of deficient supplies of Equity Gas. In such event, the Bossier Additional Capacity will be released. In addition, for any capacity requested, such capacity will be charged by
ETF, for such Month and succeeding Months, as a Demand Fee, until such time as the Primary Term begins. 
  
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Bossier Additional Capacity for the Month of July 2005 will be XXXX MMBtu per Day. Due to constraints on ETF’s
pipeline system, such volume cannot be transported to the Oasis-Katy Header until ETF has completed the installation of additional compression in Grimes County, Texas, (the “Grimes County Compression”) which is not expected to be completed
until sometime between July 7, 2005 and July 15, 2005. ETF will provide for transportation services from the combination of the Farrar Treating Facility and BOA Treating Facility for such XXXX MMBtu per Day, to Howard, Bethel, or Waha as
declared by XTO prior to July 1, 2005. Provided, however upon ETF’s notification to XTO that the Grimes County Compression is operational, XTO, within 24 hours of such notice, will have the option to utilize the full XXXX MMBtu per day by
nominating such quantity to the Oasis-Katy Header, for the remainder of the month. Without such timely notice, ETF has the option to sell the capacity to the Oasis-Katy Header to third-parties for the remainder of the Month. In 
  

 5 








 addition, the Bossier Additional Capacity for the Month of August 2005, will be XXXX MMBtu, and XTO will
provide ETF at least 30 days written notice of the desired Bossier Additional Capacity for the following Month. 
  
 The fee for such Bossier Additional Capacity is $XXXX per MMBtu. * 
  
 The Retention Volume for such Capacity is XXXX%. * 

	 	



	 	*	In the event the Reed-Texoma Pipeline is complete, and such is commercially operational, then XTO will have the ability, with at least 15 days written notice, to allocate such
Bossier Additional Capacity quantities to Texoma as defined herein. The fee for such allocated quantities to Texoma will be a Demand Fee of $XXXX per MMBtu, and Retention Volume of XXXX%. 

  
 In addition, ETF will provide XTO with Firm transportation services for
quantities up to XXXX MMBtu per Day from the Fort Worth Basin area, for its Equity Gas production (the “FWB Additional Capacity”). Such quantities will be delivered into ETF’s 36-inch North Texas Pipeline at either the Cleburne
compressor station (meter number 100401), or the Maypearl compressor station (meter number 100400), and will be redelivered to the Points of Delivery. Such Points of Delivery will each have a separate fee, Retention Volume, and Maximum Daily
Quantity, as follows: 
  

							
	 Point of Delivery

	 	 Fee

	 	 Retention Volume

	 	 Maximum Daily Quantity


	 Oasis-Katy Header
	 	$XXXX	 	XXXX%	 	XXXX MMBtu
	 Howard
	 	$XXXX	 	XXXX%	 	XXXX MMBtu
	 Bethel
	 	$XXXX	 	XXXX%	 	XXXX MMBtu
	 Oasis-Waha
	 	$XXXX	 	XXXX%	 	XXXX MMBtu
	 Texoma
	 	$XXXX	 	XXXX%	 	    XXXX MMBtu *


	 	



	 	*	Subject to ETF’s completion of a new pipeline from Bethel to Texoma, and such pipeline is commercially operational. 

  
 Initially, for the first three months of the Initial Term, the FWB
Additional Capacity will be XXXX MMBtu per Day (the “Initial Capacity”). XTO will be required to allocate such Initial Capacity to the Points of Delivery, upon on full execution of this Agreement. After such three months, and anytime
thereafter until the beginning of the Primary Term, XTO will have the option to increase such FWB Additional Capacity, with 30 days written notice to ETF for the Oasis-Katy Header Point of Delivery and 15 days written notice on the remaining
Point(s) of Delivery, in XXXX MMBtu per Day increments, up to a total of XXXX MMBtu per Day. However, XTO may not increase its FWB Additional Capacity more than XXXX MMBtu per Day during any consecutive three month period. XTO will provide an
updated allocation for the Points of Delivery, with each applicable notice of increase to the FWB Additional Capacity. 
  
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, XTO will provide ETF with at least 15 or 30 days written notice, depending on the Point of Delivery as described above, of
the desired FWB Additional Capacity, for each following Month. Any such capacity requested, may not be 
  

 6 








 relinquished for any succeeding Month, unless such requested capacity was not utilized by XTO, due to an
event of deficient supplies of Equity Gas. In such event, the FWB Additional Capacity will be released on a prorated basis. In addition, for any capacity requested, such capacity will be charged by ETF, for such Month and succeeding Months, as a
Demand Fee based on such allocation(s), until such time as the Primary Term begins. 
  
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, the FWB Additional Capacity for the Month of July 2005 will be XXXX MMBtu per Day. Such XXXX MMBtu per Day will be transported by ETF to the Oasis-Katy Header. In addition, XTO will
provide ETF with the appropriate 15 or 30 days written notice, depending on the Point of Delivery as described above, of the desired FWB Additional Capacity for the following Month. 
  
 As transportation capacity pertains to XTO’s Bossier Additional Capacity and FWB Additional Capacity, XTO shall have
priority over all other shippers, except Firm shippers, to the Points of Delivery and through pipeline segments, as described herein. XTO may reallocate its FWB Additional Capacity at any time, with with the appropriate 15 or 30 days written notice
to ETF, depending on the Point of Delivery as described above and subject to the limits setforth above, and ETF’s available economic capacity. 
  
 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, XTO may not allocate quantities to Oasis-Katy, or Oasis-Katy and Oasis-Waha combined, in excess
of XXXX MMBtu per Day, for the FWB Additional Capacity. 
  

	B.	Commencing with the Primary Term: 

  
 Within sixty (60) days of XTO’s execution of this Agreement, XTO will furnish to ETF an allocation of its volume to each desired Point of
Delivery for its peak year(s) of the Agreement, not to exceed its Reserved Capacity for each area (collectively the “Allocated Daily Quantity”). XTO shall pay to ETF on a monthly basis a Demand Fee of XXXX ($XXXX) per MMBtu times the
greater of the applicable volume of Base Load Capacity specified on Exhibit “C” for each day in such Month or the volume of gas in MMBtu actually delivered by XTO at the Points of Receipt for each day in such Month (the “Demand Fee).
Provided however, in the event that ETF is, by reason of an event of Force Majeure, unable to accept volumes of gas from XTO for any period of time, XTO shall be relieved of the obligation of paying the foregoing fee for the volume of gas estimated
(by reference to the previous day’s nominations) to have been curtailed by such event. In the event that XTO is prevented from delivering gas volumes to ETF by reason of an XTO event of Force Majeure, then XTO shall nonetheless pay the fee
specified in paragraph C below and XTO shall be deemed to have earned a Force Majeure Transportation Credit on such delivery shortfall volume. During the term of this Agreement XTO shall be entitled to use any Force Majeure Transportation Credit in
the same manner provided below for the use of a Transportation Fee Credit. In the event that all Force Majeure Transportation Fee Credits are not utilized by XTO during the term of this Agreement, the delivery shortfall relating to all unused Force
Majeure Transportation credits shall be totaled and the term of this Agreement shall be extended by that period of time necessary for XTO to deliver to ETF such delivery shortfall volume of gas at a 
  

 7 








 maximum rate of XXXX MMBtu per Day for the Bossier area, and XXXX MMBtu per Day for the Fort Worth Basin
area. During such an extended term, XTO shall only pay the Retention Volume on the gas so transported. 
  
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, as XTO’s Reserved Capacity decreases from year to year, XTO will, with at least 90 days written notice to ETF,
decrease its Allocated Daily Quantity for each area, to be no less than its Reserved Capacity for the applicable year. 
  
 The Retention Volume and maximum Available Allocated Daily Quantity, and XTO’s Allocated Daily Quantity for the Primary Term, by area, for the Points
of Delivery are as follows:

	 TETCO - West L.A.
	 	_______MMBtu per Day
	 Transco
	 	_______MMBtu per Day
	 Trunkline
	 	_______MMBtu per Day
	 Total
	 	XXXX MMBtu per Day

  

	 	(2)	It is understood that ETF will make new interconnects with its Texoma-Carthage Pipeline system with the Duke-Carthage Header, NGPL, Gulf South Pipeline, and other
interconnects as mutually agreed to by the Parties. 


	 	(3)	It is understood that the existing typical flow of Gas in the 36-inch North Texas Pipeline are from West to East, however, in the event Gas flows in the 36-inch
North Texas Pipeline physically change, whereby, Gas physically flows from East to West, then the Retention Volume for deliveries to the Oasis-Waha Point of Delivery may change. 


	 	(4)	Any quantities XTO desires to allocate to the HPL Bammel Point of Delivery, will be as mutually agreed by the Parties, and will incur an additional $XXXX per MMBtu
fee. 

  
 As transportation capacity pertains to the
Primary Term of this Agreement, XTO shall have priority over all other shippers, except Firm shippers, to the Points of Delivery and through pipeline segments, as described herein. XTO may reallocate its Allocated Daily Quantity at any time, with at
least 30 days written notice to ETF for the Oasis-Katy Header Point of Delivery and 15 days written notice on the remaining Point(s) of Delivery, subject to the limits setforth above, and ETF’s available economic capacity. 
  
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, XTO may not exceed a total of XXXX MMBtu per
Day for the Bossier and Maypearl/Cleburne areas combined for deliveries to the Oasis-Katy Header Point of Delivery. In addition, XTO may not exceed XXXX MMBtu per Day for the Texoma Point of Delivery, for the Bossier, and Maypearl/Cleburne areas
combined. Likewise, XTO may not exceed an aggregate total of XXXX MMBtu per Day for deliveries to the Cathage and Texoma Points of Delivery. 
  

	C.	Subject to other provisions of this Agreement, if during any Month the volume of gas in MMBtu delivered by XTO at the Points of Receipt totals less than the monthly total of Base
Load Capacity for that Month, XTO shall nonetheless pay ETF a Demand Fee of XXXX ($XXXX) per MMBtu times the applicable volume of Base Load Capacity specified on Exhibit “C” for each day in such Month. But in such event XTO shall be deemed
to have earned a Transportation Fee Credit for such deficiency volume. 

  

 9 









	D.	ETF and XTO agree that Transportation Fee Credits may be used subject to the following: 

  

	 	1.	Any Transportation Fee Credit earned may be used prospectively to reduce the amount of Demand Fees that would otherwise be owed pursuant to Paragraph “B”, above.


  

	 	2.	Transportation Fee Credits may only be used to reduce the amount of Demand Fees for total volumes of Gas in excess of the applicable quantity of Base Load Capacity.


  
 7. PRESSURES 
  
 The Gas delivered at the Points of Receipt hereunder shall be delivered at a
pressure sufficient to overcome the operating pressure existing in ETF’s facilities from time to time, except for the Farrar and BOA Points of Receipt, which are not to exceed XXXX psig. If ETF’s operating pressure exceeds XXXX psig for
ten consecutive days, XTO shall be obligated to pay only the Retention Volume on only the amount of Gas that actually flowed during the time period in which the operating pressure exceeded XXXX psig. If ETF’s operating pressure exceeds XXXX
psig for 30 consecutive days, upon written notification from XTO, ETF shall have XXXX days to cure the problem and reduce the operating pressure to XXXX psig. If ETF fails to cure the problem within the aforementioned XXXX days, XTO shall have the
right to either add necessary compression in order to deliver against ETF’s operating pressure, the commercially reasonable costs of such compression to be paid by ETF, or to terminate this Agreement. ETF shall maintain pressures sufficient to
facilitate deliveries to the Carthage Point of Delivery under normal operating conditions, and the Gas redelivered at the remaining Points of Delivery shall be delivered by ETF at the pressure existing in ETF’s facilities from time to time.

  
 8. QUALITY 
  
 XTO agrees that all Gas delivered to ETF at the Points of Receipt hereunder
and ETF agrees that all Gas redelivered hereunder to or for the account of XTO at the Points of Delivery hereunder shall be merchantable Gas which shall: 
  

	 	(a)	Have a total heating value of not less than nine hundred seventy-five (975) British Thermal Units per cubic foot nor more than one thousand and fifty (1050) British
Thermal Units per cubic foot; 

  

	 	(b)	Be commercially free of all dust, hydrocarbon liquids, water, suspended matter, all gums and gum forming constituents and any other objectionable substances;

 Should the Gas delivered to either Party hereunder fail to meet the quality specifications above, the Party delivering the
out-of-specification Gas shall notify the other and the Party responsible for the deficiency shall make a diligent effort to correct such failure. The Party receiving the deficient Gas shall have the right to refuse to accept such Gas for so long as
the other Party is unable to deliver Gas conforming to such specifications, or either Party may accept delivery of such Gas or any part thereof during such period. XTO agrees to be liable to ETF for and to defend, indemnify and hold ETF harmless
from and against any and all legal liabilities, losses, damages, causes of action, claims, demands, suits, costs and expenses of every kind and character resulting from, arising out of or in connection with or in anywise incident to the delivery to
ETF for XTO’s account of Gas which fails to meet the quality specifications hereunder. ETF agrees to be liable to XTO for and to defend, indemnify and hold XTO harmless from and against any and all legal liabilities, losses, damages, causes of
action, claims, demands, suits, costs and expenses of every kind and character resulting from, arising out of or in connection with or in anywise incident to the delivery to XTO for ETF’s account of Gas which fails to meet the quality
specifications hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither Party will have any such indemnity obligation to the other when, after receiving a notice concerning Gas not meeting the quality specifications, the Party having received such notice
makes the decision, evidenced in a written communication to the other Party, to accept such off specification Gas. 
  
 XTO’s inability to deliver Gas that meets the quality specifications above, whether taken by ETF or not, does not relieve XTO of its obligation to
pay to ETF the Transportation Fee pursuant to this agreement. 
  
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, subject to all of the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement, ETF will, on an interruptible basis, receive the Gas tendered by XTO at a new Point of Receipt near the Reed interconnect (the “Reed
Station”), as long as the carbon dioxide content of the Gas does not exceed XXXX% by volume and the Gas otherwise meets ETF’s standard quality specifications as set forth in the Agreement, and blend such Gas with the Gas in ETF’s
pipeline system. 
  
 9. MEASUREMENT 
  
 At its own cost, ETF shall install, own and operate the metering facilities
at the Point(s) of Receipt listed on Exhibit “A” hereto. The metering facilities to measure the volumes of Gas delivered at each of the Points of Receipt and Delivery shall be maintained and operated by the owner thereof. The Btu content
of the Gas shall be determined by the facilities at the Points of 
  

 11 








 The unit of volume of Gas shall be one thousand (1000) standard cubic feet (MCF) at an
absolute pressure of fourteen and sixty-five hundredths pounds per square inch absolute (14.65 psia) and at a temperature of sixty degrees Fahrenheit (60 °F). 
  
 Atmospheric pressure shall be assumed to be the pressure value as determined
by ETF for the county in which each of the Points of Receipt and Delivery on Exhibits “A” and “B” is located pursuant to generally accepted industry practices (but not less than twelve and nine-tenths (12.9) p.s.i.a. nor
more than fourteen and seven-tenths (14.7) p.s.i.a. irrespective of the actual atmospheric pressure at such points from time to time). 
  
 All orifice meter volumes shall be computed in accordance with the American Gas Association (AGA) Measurement Committee Report No. 3 and the
American National Standards Institute/American Petroleum Institute (ANSI/API) 2530-1985 or the latest edition as agreed to by all Parties (herein referred to as AGA 3). All orifice meter volumes shall be corrected for deviations from
the ideal Gas laws (supercompressibility) in accordance with AGA’s Transmission Measurement Committee Report No. 8, dated November 1992, or the latest edition. The actual method employed will be mutually agreed by all Parties.

  
 All turbine meter volumes shall be computed in accordance with
the AGA Measurement Committee Report No. 7, 1981 edition or later as mutually agreed. All turbine meter volumes will be corrected for deviations from the ideal Gas laws (supercompressibility by one of the methods prescribed above, then applying
the factor as specified by AGA No.7. 
  
 All ultra sonic meter
volumes shall be computed in accordance with AGA Measurement Standards. 
  
 The gross heating value (Btu content), the specific gravity and the chemistry of the Gas shall be determined by use of on-line chromatography. Gas quality shall be incorporated into the original flow calculations in the flow computer at
periods mutually agreed by all Parties. All Parties shall have the option of witnessing the calibrations and calculations performed within the chromatograph. All chromatographs shall operate on a C6+ basis, and assumed physical properties for the
C6+ component shall be mutually agreed upon. Other components to be quantified shall include C1, C2, C3, IC4, NC4, IC5 NC5, NeoC5, N2, and CO2. All calculations for heating value and specific gravity shall be performed on a normalized basis.
Unnormalized total shall not deviate from one hundred percent (100%) by more than one percent (1%), unless all Parties agree to operate from time to time outside this tolerance. If the online chromatograph fails, then the Parties agree to
utilize a spot sample method. If this method is used, Gas qualities shall be applied to volumes registered from the time of each sample until the time of the next sample. The preferred spot sampling method will be by use of a portable chromatograph,
but collection in sample bottles shall be acceptable, providing that the collection can be made in such a way that Gas quality does not change significantly during the collection process, and such collection method shall be mutually agreed upon.
Analysis of spot samples shall conform to the restrictions above. 
  
 In determining the gross heating value (Btu content) to be used hereunder, the gross heating value of the Gas recorded under water saturated conditions shall be determined at a 
  

 12 








 temperature of sixty degrees Fahrenheit (60 °F) at an absolute pressure of fourteen and
sixty-five one hundredths (14.65) p.s.i.a. However, if the water vapor content of the Gas being delivered is seven (7) pounds or less per one million (1,000,000) standard cubic feet, then the Gas shall be deemed to be dry and no
correction shall be made. 
  
 All Parties shall have the right to
conduct such pulsation tests as they deem prudent, at their sole risk and expense. If excessive pulsation is evident, mutually agreed modifications to operations or facility design will be made to reduce the effect of such pulsation. If pulsation
issues cannot be resolved in a mutually agreeable manner, either Party shall have the right to refuse delivery or receipt of Gas at the facility. 
  
 All orifice meter tubes shall be offered to all Parties for inspection prior to installation and at those times when cleaning is performed. All meter
tubes shall conform to the restrictions of AGA 3, or later editions as agreed by all Parties. 
  
 Electronic flow measurement will be used and the differential and pressure determining instruments shall have a stated accuracy not to exceed one tenth of
one percent (0.1%) of full scale and shall not have a static pressure effect exceeding two tenths of one percent (0.2%) per one thousand (1000) psig. 
  
 Information detailing the data accumulation and recalculation methods employed by the Custody Transfer Agent will be provided to the other Parties as
requested. 
  
 All orifice meters will be calibrated once per
month. Turbine meters that allow for electronic proving will be proved once per month. All other meters will be calibrated/proven on a mutually agreed schedule. Notification of scheduled calibrations shall be made to all Parties and reasonable
effort will be made to accommodate all Parties’ schedules; however, calibration will proceed at the scheduled time regardless of attendees. 
  
 If, upon test, the meter is found to be inaccurate by an amount exceeding one percent (1%), at a reading corresponding to the average hourly rate of flow
for the period since the last preceding test, then any previous reading of such equipment shall be corrected to zero error for any period of inaccurate reading which is known or definitely agreed upon, but in the case the period is not known or
agreed upon, such correction shall be made for a period extending over one-half (1/2) of the time elapsed since the last test, not exceeding a correction period of sixteen (16) days. 
  
 Calibration standards shall be of a type and class that is shown by the
manufacturer’s specifications to be twice as accurate as the instrument being calibrated. All differential and pressure standards shall be certified once per year to conform to the manufacturer’s stated accuracy by a NIST traceable
standard. 
  
 In the event any meter was left out of service or is
found to be registering inaccurately, the volume of Gas delivered shall be determined by: 
  

	 	(a)	Using the registration of any “check” equipment, if installed and accurately registering or; 

  

	 	(b)	Correcting the error if the percentage of error is ascertainable by calibration, tests, or mathematical calculations or; 

  

 13 









	 	(c)	Estimating the quantity or quality of Gas by the quantity or quality of Gas during the preceding periods under similar conditions provided the equipment was registering
accurately at that time. 

  
 10. FORCE
MAJEURE 
  
 If either Party is rendered unable, wholly or
in part, by force majeure or other causes herein specified, to carry out its obligations under this Agreement other than the obligation to make payments due hereunder, it is agreed that on such Party’s giving notice and reasonably full
particulars of such force majeure in writing or by facsimile to the other Party within a reasonable time after the occurrence of the cause relied on, then the obligations of the Party giving such notice, so far as they are affected by such force
majeure or other causes herein specified, shall be suspended during the continuance of any inability so caused, but for no longer period, and such cause shall so far as possible be remedied with all reasonable dispatch. 
  
 The term “Force Majeure” as employed herein means
acts of God; strikes, lockouts or other industrial disturbances; acts of the public enemy; wars; blockades; insurrections; riots; epidemics; landslides; lightning; earthquakes; fires; storms; floods; washouts; arrests and restraints of the
government, either federal or state, civil or military; civil disturbances; explosions; breakage; breakdown or accident to machinery, equipment or lines of pipe ; freezing of production equipment; the necessity of altering, maintaining, inspecting,
replacing, changing the size of, substituting or removing pipelines or appurtenant facilities; and any other causes, whether of the kind herein enumerated or otherwise, not reasonably within the control of the Party claiming suspension, and which by
the exercise of due diligence such Party is unable, wholly or in part, to prevent or overcome. Such term likewise includes (1) in those instances where either Party hereto is required to obtain servitudes, right-of-way grants, permits or
licenses to enable such Party to fulfill its obligations hereunder, the inability of such Party to acquire, or the delays on the part of such Party in acquiring, at reasonable cost and after the exercise of reasonable diligence, such servitudes,
right-of-way grants or licenses, and (2) in those instances where either Party hereto is required to furnish materials and supplies for the purpose of constructing or maintaining pipelines or pertenant facilities or is required to secure
permits or permission from any governmental agency (federal, state or municipal, civil or military) to enable such Party to fulfill its obligations hereunder, the inability of such Party to acquire or the delays on the part of such Party in
acquiring, at reasonable cost and after the exercise of reasonable diligence, such materials and supplies, permits and permissions. It is understood and agreed that the settlement of strikes or lockouts shall be entirely within the discretion of the
Party having the difficulty and that the above requirement that any force majeure shall be remedied with all reasonable dispatch shall not require the settlement of strikes or lockouts by acceding to the demands of the opposing Party when such
course is inadvisable in the discretion of the Party having the difficulty. 
  
 Either Party may partially or entirely interrupt its performance hereunder for the purpose of making necessary or desirable inspections, alterations and repairs, but only for such time as may be reasonable and
unavoidable; and the Party requiring such relief shall give to the other Party reasonable notice of its intention to suspend its performance hereunder, except in cases of emergency where such notice is impracticable and shall endeavor to arrange
such interruption so as to inconvenience the other Party as little as possible. Service interruptions on the part of either 

  

 14 








 
Party which are sanctioned by the provisions of this Section 10, are expressly included within the definition of “force
majeure” for the purpose of this Agreement.

two month’s 
  

 17 








 payments. In the event XTO fails to promptly provide payment securities acceptable to ETF when requested, then ETF may
suspend its performance hereunder until such time as XTO furnishes acceptable payment securities to ETF. In addition to all other remedies available, should either party fail to pay any amount when the same becomes due, interest shall accrue thereon
at a rate equal to the prime rate from time to time in effect and charged by the Citibank, N.A., New York, New York, plus two percent (2%) per annum, (but in no event greater than the maximum rate of interest permitted by law)
with adjustments in such rate to be made on the same day as any change in such prime rate, for any period during which the same shall be overdue, such interest to be paid when the amount past due is paid. 
  
 13. ASSIGNMENT 
  
 This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the
successors, assigns and legal representatives of the Parties hereto; provided however, neither Party shall assign this Agreement or any portion hereof, or any of its rights and obligations hereunder without securing the prior written consent of the
other Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either Party may assign this Agreement to an affiliated entity or a lender without consent. Each Party hereto agrees to execute any consent to assignment
and any such other documents in connection with an assignment to a lender as such lender may reasonably request. 
  
 14. TAXES 
  
 XTO shall pay or cause to be paid all taxes, fees, levies, penalties or charges (“Taxes”) imposed by any governmental authority on or with respect to the Gas prior to the Points of Receipt and after receipt
of the Gas at the Points of Delivery. ETF shall pay or cause to be paid all Taxes on or with respect to the transportation of the Gas from the Points of Receipt to Points of Delivery other than gross receipts or franchise taxes on Gas transported
for XTO levied by a municipality or other governmental authority which taxes shall be paid by XTO. If a Party is required to remit or pay Taxes that are the other Party’s responsibility hereunder, the Party responsible for such Taxes shall
promptly reimburse the other Party for such Taxes.

 This Agreement was prepared jointly by the Parties hereto. This Agreement was prepared with each of the
Parties having access to their own legal counsel, and the Parties waive any claim they may have now or in the future based on this Agreement not having been prepared jointly by the Parties. 
  
 Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, it is mutually agreed that
neither Party shall be liable for any special, indirect, incidental or consequential damages of any character, including but not limited to loss of use, lost profits, additional out of pocket expenses incurred by the other Party, tort and contract
claims, or consequent property damages suffered by the other Party, irrespective of whether claims or actions for such damages are based on contract, warranty, negligence, strict liability or otherwise. Notwithstanding the above, in the event that
either Party fails to perform any obligation under this Agreement that is not excused by Force Majeure, the other Party will be entitled to recover consequential damages. 
  
 Upon written notice, either Party shall have the right to setoff any sum(s) or quantities owed to the other Party under this
Agreement or any other agreement or contract (express or implied) between the Parties, and apply any such sum(s) or quantities against any obligation or 
  
 sum(s) owed the other Party that is thirty (30) days or more overdue under this Agreement or any other agreement or contract (express or implied) between the
