GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS

4. MEASUREMENT OF GAS (Continued)
exercise care in the installation, maintenance and operation of check
measuring, pressure regulating equipment or gas compressors so as to
prevent any inaccuracy in the determination of the quantity or quality of
gas being measured. If unacceptable square root error or gauge line
error shifts occur, the installation of pulsation filters may be required
by Northwest. The party responsible for the source of any pulsation
shall also be responsible for the installation cost of remedial devices
or filtering equipment to reduce or eliminate such pulsation. If
disagreements over pulsation arise, a third-party consultant acceptable
to both Transporter and Shipper will be consulted to resolve the problem.
4.8 Adjustment of Inaccuracies. NAESB WGQ Flowing Gas Related Standards
2.3.13 and 2.3.14 (Version 1.8) will apply and are incorporated by
reference.
If the percentage of inaccuracy upon any test shall be an amount
exceeding two percent (2%), the registration of such meter shall be
corrected at the rate of such inaccuracy for any period which is
definitely known or agreed upon. In the event the period is not
definitely known or agreed upon, such correction shall be for a period
extending back one-half (1/2) of the time elapsed since the date of the
last calibration. In no event shall inaccuracies of less than two (2)
percent daily or 100 Dth monthly be corrected.
Following any test, measurement equipment found inaccurate shall be
immediately restored by the operating party as closely as possible to a
condition of accuracy. If the measurement equipment is out of service or
out of repair for any reason so that the amount of gas delivered cannot
be estimated or computed from the reading thereof, the amount of gas
delivered through the period such meter is out of service or out of
repair shall be estimated and agreed upon by the Transporter and
Receiving Party upon the basis of the best data available using the first
of the following methods which is feasible:
(a) by using the registration of the other party's check meter
if installed and accurately registering; or
(b) by correcting the error if the percentage of error is
ascertainable by calibration, test or mathematical calculation; or
