GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS

4. MEASURING EQUIPMENT (Cont'd.)

4.7 Accuracy of Measuring Equipment

The accuracy of Transporter's or Operator's measuring equipment

shall be verified at reasonable intervals, and if requested, in

the presence of representatives of Operator or Transporter, but

neither party shall be required to verify the accuracy of

equipment more frequently than once in any thirty (30)-day

period. In the event either party shall notify the other that it

desires a special test of any measuring equipment, the parties

shall cooperate to secure a prompt verification of the accuracy

of such equipment. The expense of any special test, if called

for, shall be borne by the requesting party if the measuring

equipment tested is found to be in error by no more than two

percent.

4.8 Correction of Measuring Equipment Errors

If, upon test, any measuring equipment is found to be in error

not more than 2%, previous recordings of such equipment shall be

considered accurate in computing deliveries hereunder; but such

equipment shall be adjusted at once to record correctly.

If, upon test, any measuring equipment shall be found to be

inaccurate by an amount exceeding 2%, any previous recordings of

such equipment shall be corrected to zero (0) error for any

period which is known definitely or agreed upon, but in case the

period is not known definitely or agreed upon, such correction

shall be for a period extending over one-half of the time elapsed

since the date of last test, not exceeding a correction period of

sixteen (16) days.

4.9 Preservation of Records

Each party shall preserve for a period of at least three (3)

years all test data, charts and other similar records.
