GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS

5. MEASUREMENT EQUIPMENT (Continued)
(f) Adjustment for Inaccuracy
If, upon test, any measurement equipment is found to be inaccurate, such equipment
shall be adjusted at once to record correctly, and the amount of error shall be
determined by the most accurate method feasible. If, upon test, any measurement
equipment is found to be inaccurate by an amount exceeding two percent (2.0%) in the
measurement of gas quantities since the last preceding test, then the calculated
deliveries of gas shall be adjusted to compensate for such error. Such adjustment
shall be made for such period of inaccuracy which is definitely known. If the period
of inaccuracy is not definitely known or agreed upon, such correction shall be for a
period extending over one-half of the time elapsed since the date of the last test, not
exceeding a correction period of sixteen (16) days.
Measurement data corrections should be processed within six (6) months of the
production month with a three (3) month rebuttal period. This standard shall not apply
in the case of deliberate omission or misrepresentation or mutual mistake of fact.
Parties' other statutory or contractual rights shall not otherwise be diminished by
this standard.
(g) Maintenance of Records
Pine Needle and Customer shall preserve all original or equivalent electronic test
data, charts, or other similar records for a period required by the applicable rules
of regulatory agencies having jurisdiction.
(h) New Measurement Methods
If at any time a new method or technique is developed with respect to gas measurement
or the determination of the factors used in such gas measurement, such new method or
technique may be used by Pine Needle.
