1. AVAILABILITY

This Rate Schedule is available to any party (hereinafter called

"Customer") which has (i) requested Appalachian gathering service

from Equitrans, L.P. (hereinafter called "Equitrans"); (ii) entered into

an AGS service agreement with Equitrans for service under this Rate

Schedule; and (iii) complied with the provisions of this Rate Schedule

and with all other provisions of this Tariff.

2. APPLICABILITY AND CHARACTER OF SERVICE

2.1 This Rate Schedule shall apply to the gathering of natural gas from

designated Appalachian receipt points for delivery to the Gathering

Aggregation Points described in Section 3.1 of this Rate Schedule.

These Gathering Aggregation Points are not physical delivery points

on the Equitrans' gathering system but are locations where

Appalachian supplies are aggregated for downstream transportation.

Service under this Rate Schedule shall apply to all gas nominated by

the Customer under this Rate Schedule for delivery into a Gathering

Aggregation Point up to the Gathering Quantity (GQ) established in

the Customer's AGS Service Agreement.

2.2 To qualify for this service, a Customer must maintain a minimum of 10

dth/day of actual flowing supply at each of its Gathering Aggregation

Points, exclusive of any transfers or imbalance quantities. Failure

of the Customer to maintain an average of the minimum flowing supply

at a specific Gathering Aggregation Point over a consecutive three

month period may, at Equitrans' discretion, result in removal of such

Gathering Aggregation Point from Customer's AGS Service Agreement.

2.3 Equitrans' only obligations under this Rate Schedule shall be to

receive gas from any Appalachian receipt point and to permit that gas

to flow against the existing pressure in Equitrans' facilities.

Equitrans shall not be obligated to lower such line pressure by

compression or otherwise to accommodate receipts from a Customer

under this Rate Schedule.
