GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS

2. QUALITY

2.1 Processing of Gas

The gas delivered by Transporter to Shipper shall be natural or

mixed gas from Transporter's present or future sources of supply,

including gas received by Transporter for Shipper's account; pro-

vided, however, that helium, natural gasoline, butane, propane

and any other hydrocarbons except for methane, may be removed

prior to delivery to Shipper. Transporter may subject, or permit

the subjection of, the gas to compression, cooling, cleaning and

other processes.

The gas delivered by Transporter to Shipper or received by

Transporter from Operator for the Shipper's account shall have a

total heating value at the point(s) of delivery and receipt of

not less than 967 BTU per cubic foot. Transporter and Shipper

shall have the option to refuse to accept said gas so long as the

total heating value of the gas remains below 967 BTU per cubic

foot; provided, however, that Transporter and Shipper may elect

to accept receipt or delivery of said gas.

2.3 Absence of Objectionable Matter

(a) Delivery by Transporter. The gas delivered by Transporter

to Shipper shall be commercially free from objectionable

odors, dust or other solid or liquid or gaseous matters

which might interfere with the merchantability of the gas or

cause injury to or interference with proper operation of

Transporter's lines, regulators, meters or other appliances

through which the gas flows.

(b) Delivery for the Account of Shipper. The provisions set

forth in this Subsection 2.3(b) shall apply to all gas deli-

vered to Transporter by Operator for the account of Shipper,

except for gas delivered to Transporter by another

interstate pipeline, in which case the quality standards set

forth in the interconnection or other agreement between

Transporter and such pipeline shall apply, or in the absence

thereof, the FERC Gas Tariff of such pipeline.
