1.4 The term "year" shall mean a period of twelve (12) months beginning the day on which the delivery of gas to Buyer is commenced hereunder.

1.5 The term "Gas" shall mean natural gas available from the well(s) or acreage subject to this Contract, including all hydrocarbon fluids which arrive at the surface in the gaseous phase, and including all components of such gas, regardless of whether the component is or can be liquefied, and shall apply both to gas well gas produced and delivered at the wellhead of any gas well and gas produced from gas wells and oil wells issuing from the initial stage separator.

1.6 "Cubic foot of gas" shall mean the volume of gas contained in one cubic foot of space at a standard pressure base and at a standard temperature base. The standard pressure base shall be fourteen and sixty-five one hundredths pounds per square inch absolute (14.65 Psia) and the standard temperature base shall be 60 degrees (60°) Fahrenheit, "Mcf shall mean one thousand (1,000) cubic feet of gas.

1.7 The term "Btu" (British Thermal Unit) shall mean the quantity of heat required to raise the temperature of one (1) pound of pure water one degree of Fahrenheit temperature scale (58.5° to 59.5° Fahrenheit). "MMBtu" shall mean one million British Thermal Units.

2.1 Seller agrees to sell and Buyer agrees to purchase from Seller gas produced from wells now or hereafter located on oil and gas leasehold interests now owned or controlled or hereafter owned or controlled by Seller on the lands described on Exhibit "A" attached hereto.

3.1 Each of the parties hereto shall proceed with due diligence in good faith to obtain such governmental authorizations, right-of-way, and material as may be required to perform this Contract. Upon receipt and acceptance by both parties of such governmental authorizations or within thirty (30) days of the execution of this Contract if no such governmental authorizations are required, Buyer and Seller shall commence and prosecute with due diligence the construction of such facilities as are necessary to enable it to receive or deliver at the Delivery Point(s) the specified quantities of gas contemplated by this Contract. The delivery and receipt of gas shall begin promptly after completion of the construction and installation of connecting facilities. In the event that either party has not commenced the construction of its facilities within thirty (30) days of the date herein required, or in the event either party commences construction but thereafter fails to prosecute construction with due diligence until completion thereof, the other party shall have the right to cancel this Contract as to theaffected Delivery Point(s) at any time thereafter by serving ten (10) days written notice on the dilatory party unless such dilatory party within said ten (10) days, remedies the cause for such cancellation.

3.2 Seller, at its sole cost and expense, shall construct, install, maintain, and operate any and all facilities and equipment necessary for the proper, safe and efficient operation of Seller's wells and to enable it to make delivery of gas hereunder to Buyer at the Delivery Point(s). Such equipment shall include the valves and fittings necessary to permit Buyer to make its connection at the Delivery Point(s).

3.3 Buyer, at its sole cost and expense, shall construct, install, maintain and operate any and all facilities and equipment necessary to accept Seller's gas at each Delivery Point.

3.4 Insofar as Seller's lease permits, Buyer or Buyer's designee is granted the right to lay and maintain lines and install any equipment on the Dedicated Area necessary for the receipt of Seller's gas, and Buyer or Buyer's designee shall have the right of free entry thereon during the term of this Contract. Should Buyer be delayed in securing any additional right-of-way not covered hereby, then such delay shall suspend performance under this Contract until such right-of-way may be obtained. In the event any right-of-way necessary for the receipt of Seller's gas at any given Delivery Point cannot be obtained on terms and conditions acceptable to Buyer, then Buyer shall not be obligated to connect said Delivery Point.

3.5 Buyer, at its sole cost and expense, shall construct, install, maintain and operate any and all facilities and equipment necessary to treat Seller's gas for its elevated sulfur content.

4.1 The point(s) of delivery of gas to be delivered by Seller to Buyer hereunder for existing sources of production shall be at the inlet(s) of Buyer's facilities. Title to the gas and all components thereof shall pass to and vest in Buyer at such point(s) of delivery without regard to the purpose which it may thereafter be sold or used by Buyer.

4.2 As to sources of production acquired, drilled, or discovered after the date of this Contract, Seller shall commence and prosecute with due diligence the construction of such facilities as may be necessary to enable Seller to deliver gas at the Point(s) of Delivery then agreed. Buyer shall cause prompt commencement and prosecute with due diligence the construction of such facilities as are necessary and economically feasible to enable Buyer to receive deliveries of gas at the added Point(s) of Delivery. If Buyer determines it is not profitable to construct such facilities, Seller shall have the option to construct facilities necessary to deliver into Buyer's the existing facilities.

5.1 Seller hereby expressly reserves unto itself, it successors and assigns, the following rights with respect to its interests in the oil and gas properties committed by Seller to Buyer hereunder together with sufficient gas produced therefrom to satisfy such rights:

6.1 Seller commits all gas produced from the Dedicated Area to Buyer under this Contract.

6.2 Buyer will purchase and take Seller's gas, subject to the demands of Buyer's resale purchaser(s) and the operating conditions and capacity of the facilities owned by Buyer. It is understood that Buyer cannot guarantee the purchase of any particular quantity of Seller's gas which is available for sale. If buyer takes less than the full quantities available, Buyer will purchase gas from the well(s) under this Contract ratably among its purchases of similar gas connected to this gathering system, including purchases from affiliates.

6.3 Seller shall have the right to dispose of any gas not taken by Buyer, subject to Buyer's right to resume purchases at any subsequent time.

6.4 Seller shall have agents or employees available at all reasonable times to receive from Buyer's dispatchers advice and requests for changes in the rates of delivery of gas hereunder as required by Buyer from time to time.

6.5 In the event the gas delivered hereunder at any point or points of delivery becomes insufficient in volume, quality or pressure, in the sole judgment of Buyer, Buyer shall have the right to refuse or cease taking such gas so long as such condition exists, or may terminate this contract as to any such gas upon thirty (30) days prior notice in writing to Seller.

6.6 The parties hereto recognize the desirability of maintaining the uniform rate of flow of gas to the Compressor Unit over each twenty-four (24) hour period in each day throughout each month, and Seller agrees to use its best efforts to regulate its producing schedule so that Seller's gas shall be made available to the Compressor Unit at as uniform a rate of flow as is practicable.

7.1 The gas delivered hereunder shall be commercially free of dust, gum, gum forming constituents, treating chemicals and solid matter that might adversely affect the gathering thereof and shall conform to the following specifications:

(a)	Nitrogen	Not more than 4% by volume
(b)	Oxygen	Not more than 0.2% by volume
(c)	Carbon Dioxide	Not more than 2.0% by volume
(d)	Free Water	None
(e)	Heating Value	Not less than 1100 Btu per Cubic Foot
(f)	Total Inerts	Not more than 5% by volume of including Carbon Dioxide and Nitrogen
(g)	Temperature	Not more than 120 degrees Fahrenheit

7.2 Due to the elevated sulfur content of the Seller's gas on this gathering system, Buyer will construct a facility downstream of the compressor station in order to treat the gas in such a manner as to make it marketable. The price charged by Buyer to Seller for such treatment is stated in Article 9.

7.3 The acceptance of gas which does not meet the specifications of this Article 7 shall not be deemed a waiver of the right to require future deliveries to conform to said specifications.

8.1 Buyer shall operate at or near the point(s) of delivery, an orifice meter, or meter(s). Seller, insofar as Seller's leasehold and other mineral rights enable it to do so, will furnish Buyer sites for its metering facilities. Except as otherwise specifically provided to the contrary in this Article, orifice meters or other measurement devices shall be installed and volumes computed in accordance with accepted industry practice. Seller shall have access to such metering equipment at reasonable hours, but the reading, calibrating, adjusting, operation and maintenance thereof may be done only by Buyer.

8.2 The unit of volume shall be one (1) cubic foot of gas at a base temperature of sixty degrees (60°) Fahrenheit and at a pressure base of fourteen and sixty-five hundredths pounds per square inch absolute (14.65 Psia). Computation of volumes shall be made in accordance with industry accepted practice.

8.3 In the absence of recording the actual atmospheric pressure, Buyer may assume the atmospheric pressure to be fourteen and four-tenths pounds per square inch absolute (14.4 Psia). At Buyer's option the absolute atmospheric pressure may be assumed or may be measured by use of electronic recording devices such as Totalflow (Registered Trademark) or the like. At Buyer's option the temperature of the gas passing the meters shall be determined by use of a recording thermometer so installed that it may properly record the temperature of the gas flowing through the meter; otherwise, the temperature shall be assumed to be sixty degrees (60°) Fahrenheit. The specific gravity shall be determined semiannually or more often as Buyer deems advisable.

8.4 Seller may install, maintain and operate, at its own expense, such pressure regulators and check measuring equipment as it shall desire, provided that such equipment shall be installed so as not to interfere with the operation of Buyer's measuring equipment. Buyer shall have access to such check measuring equipment at reasonable hours, but the reading, calibrating, adjusting, operation and maintenance thereof shall be done only by Seller.

8.5 Each party shall have the right to be present at the time of any calibrating done in connection with the other's metering equipment used in metering deliveries hereunder.

8.6 At time to time as may be necessary Buyer shall verify the accuracy of the measuring equipment and Seller shall verify the accuracy of its check measuring equipment, if any. If 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. If either party at any time observes a variation between the delivery meter and the check meter, it will promptly notify the other party thereof and both parties will then cooperate to secure an immediate verification of the accuracy of such equipment. Each party shall give to the other notice of the time of all tests of meters reasonably in advance of the holding of such tests in order that the other party may conveniently have its representatives present.

8.7 If at any time any of the measuring or testing equipment is found to be out of service or registering inaccurately in any percentage, it shall be adjusted at once to read accurately within the limits prescribed by the manufacturer. If any measuring equipment shall be found to be inaccurate or out of service by an amount exceeding two percent (2%) at a recording corresponding to the average hourly rate of flow for the period since the last preceding test, then any previous recordings of such equipment shall be corrected to zero error for any period which is known definitely or agreed upon. The volume of gas delivered during such period shall be estimated by (I) using the data recorded by any check measuring equipment if registering accurately; (ii) by correcting the error if the percentage of error is ascertainable by calibration, test or mathematical calculation, or if neither such method is feasible; (iii) by estimating the quantity or quality delivered based upon deliveries under similar conditions during a period when the equipment was registering accurately. No adjustment shall be made for recorded inaccuracies of two percent (2%) or less.

8.8 Buyer shall preserve for a period of at least two (2) years all test data, charts and other similar records.

8.9 Semiannually, or more often as Buyer deems advisable, Buyer shall obtain a representative sample of Seller's gas delivered at each point of delivery and by means of chromatography or other accepted method in the industry determine the composition and gross heating value of Seller's gas in British Thermal Units (Btu) per cubic foot on a water saturated basis. The first such determination shall be made within a reasonable time after delivery of gas begins and shall apply until the first day of the month following the next determination. The period for determination shall be selected by Buyer.

8.10 The determinations as to conformity of the gas with the above specifications shall be made by Buyer in accordance with generally accepted procedures of the gas industry. Such determinations shall be made as often as Buyer deems necessary and Seller may witness such determinations or make joint determinations with its own appliances. If in Seller's judgment the result of any such test or determination is inaccurate, Buyer, at Seller's request, will again conduct the questioned test or determination, and the costs of such additional tests or determination shall be borne by Seller unless same shows the original test or determination to be materially inaccurate.

8.11 If any of the gas delivered by Seller hereunder shall fail to meet the quality specifications stated in this Article, Buyer may at its option accept delivery of and pay for such gas or discontinue or curtail Seller's delivery of gas hereunder whenever the quality of the gas does not conform to the quality specifications. Buyer shall notify Seller of such failure and Seller shall make diligent effort to deliver gas conforming to the specifications. If Seller concludes in its sole opinion that it cannot economically deliver gas conforming to the specifications, Seller shall so advise Buyer in writing within thirty (30) days of receipt of deficiency notice from Buyer. Within thirty (30) days of receipt of such notice from Seller, Buyer shall give notice to Seller in writing of its elections to accept or reject delivery of such gas. If Buyer rejects delivery of such gas, then said notice will terminate this Contract with respect to such gas. If Buyer accepts delivery of such gas, Buyer may deduct from the proceeds otherwise payable a fee to cover the reasonable costs incurred by Buyer to monitor the gas quality or to bring the gas within the quality specifications.

9.1 As full consideration for the gas and all the components thereof delivered to Buyer hereunder during each month, Buyer shall pay Seller an amount determined by the computations hereunder.

9.2 For Gas delivered to each point hereunder, Buyer shall pay Seller a price equivalent to the posted price under the heading "Index" for **, as published in the first of the month edition of McGraw-Hills Inside FERC's Gas Market Report ("Index Price") during the calendar month in which deliveries take place, less a transportation fee and a treating fee. The transportation fee shall be ** per MMBtu. The treating fee shall be ** per MMBtu for all gas on the system so long as the weighted average well stream concentration of H2S at Buyer's compressor station does not exceed thirty (30) PPM. For every ten (10) PPM of H2S over and above thirty (30) PPM as measured at Buyer's compressor station on a monthly basis, Buyer will charge Seller an additional ** per MMBtu.

9.3 Gross proceeds from the sale of Gas attributable to Seller shall be determined by multiplying the MMBtu's of gas allocable to Seller as determined in paragraph 9.3(a) hereof, by the price set forth in paragraph 9.2 above

9.4 Buyer shall have the right and sole discretion to negotiate and to renegotiate sales contracts from time to time as market conditions change.

9.5 Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article 9, PRICE, if at any time, and from time to time, Buyer in its sole judgment determines that, at any point or points of delivery, operating conditions relating to Buyer's facilities or market conditions relating to Buyer's purchase of gas or resale of the gas indicate that a downward price revision is necessary or appropriate, then Buyer may elect to notify Seller of Buyer's intent to renegotiate Seller's price and pricing basis or to terminate this Contract. Any notice of renegotiation of price or termination shall be given in writing by Buyer to Seller not less than thirty (30) days prior to the date upon which such notice is to become effective. If Seller makes deliveries of and Buyer accepts gas after the effective date of the renegotiation, the nominated price will be paid for such deliveries.

10.1 Seller shall bear all taxes imposed upon Seller with respect to the gas delivered hereunder and Buyer shall bear all taxes imposed upon Buyer with respect to such gas after delivery thereof to Buyer. Taxes of whatever nature, which are payable on a monthly basis and are based upon the value or volume of the gas produced and sold, will be computed and paid by Buyer for the account of Seller, and Buyer shall deduct such payments for the amount's due Seller hereunder.

11.1 Buyer shall render to Seller on or before the twenty-fifth (25th) day of each month a statement showing the volume of gas delivered by Seller, or for which payment is due hereunder, during the preceding month. Buyer shall make payment to Seller on or before the last day of each calendar month for all gas delivered or for which payment is due hereunder for the preceding month.

11.2 One hundred percent (100%) of the monthly payment for gas due hereunder, shall be remitted by Buyer to Seller for Seller's disbursement to all owners of the gas production delivered to Buyer.

11.3 Each party shall have the right at reasonable hours to examine the books, records and charts of the other party to the extent necessary to verify the accuracy of any statement, charge or computation made pursuant to the provisions of this Contract. If any such examination reveals any inaccuracy in any billing theretofore made, the necessary adjustment in such billing and payment shall be promptly made, provided that no adjustment for any billing or payment shall be made and payments shall be considered final after the lapse of two (2) years from the rendition thereof except to the extent that either party has noted a specific exception to the other party in writing during that period.

11.4 Seller is responsible for all payments to the owners of all royalties, overriding royalties, bonus payments, production payments and the like. Seller agrees to defend, indemnify and hold Buyer harmless from any and all liabilities to the owners of royalties, overriding royalties, bonus payments, production payments and the like.

12.1 This Contract shall remain in effect for the life of the gas leases contained within the Dedicated Leases. Buy has the right to terminate this Contract at any time upon giving Seller thirty (30) days prior notice in writing period.

13.1 In the event that the purchase of gas from any Delivery Point(s) under this Contract becomes unprofitable for Buyer, in Buyer's sole judgment, Buyer may cease taking the gas therefrom so long as such condition exists. In the event that Buyer invokes this provision by refusing to purchase gas from any Delivery Point, Seller may request cancellation of this Contract as to any such Delivery Point by providing thirty (30) days written notice. Unless Buyer commences purchasing gas hereunder within said thirty (30) day period, this Contract shall terminate as to such Delivery Point.

13.2 If at any time the gas volumes or products content of the gas available to Buyer, or any other cause, shall render the operation of the gathering system unprofitable, Buyer may by thirty (30) days notice in writing to Seller cancel this Contract.

14.1 Seller warrants for itself, its heirs, successors and assigns that it has good title to the gas delivered hereunder free and clear of any and all liens, encumbrances and claims whatsoever, and that Seller has good right and lawful authority to sell the same. Seller agrees to defend, indemnify and save Buyer harmless from any and all suits, claims, liens and encumbrances of whatsoever nature relating to such gas or the title thereto. If Buyer requests, Seller shall furnish Buyer a current attorney's division order title opinion, together with other title information reasonably requested by Buyer, which may include information linking the owners of royalties, overriding royalties, bonus payments, production payments and the like to their respective working interest owners. As between the parties, Buyer shall not be required to make payment until Seller shall have furnished the title opinion if requested and other information covering the land committed to this Contract showing good and merchantable title to the gas. Until such title information is furnished, or if Seller's title or right to receive any payment is questioned, or involved in litigation, Buyer shall have the right to withhold payment, without interest, until title information is received, during the pendency of such litigation, until said title or right to receive any such payment is freed from such question, or until Seller furnishes bond conditioned to save Buyer harmless with surety acceptable to Buyer. Without impairment of Seller's warranty of title, it is agreed that if Seller owns less than full fee simple title to the gas delivered hereunder, the payments provided for herein shall be made only in the proportion that Seller's interest bears to the entire fee simple title of the gas.

14.2 As between the parties hereto. Seller shall be in control and possession of the gas deliverable hereunder and responsible for any injury or damage caused thereby until the same shall have been delivered to Buyer, after which delivery Buyer shall be deemed to be in exclusive control and possession thereof and responsible for any injury or damage caused thereby; provided that neither party shall be required to indemnify the other party for the other party's own negligence.

14.3 Neither party shall be responsible to the other for exemplary damages or for any consequential or indirect losses suffered by the other party or its customers relating to performance or nonperformance of this Contract, including but not limited to loss of profit, loss of product or loss of production, howsoever caused, notwithstanding that such loss may have been foreseeable, and notwithstanding any negligence or other breach.

15.1 In the event that either party hereto is rendered unable, wholly or in part, by force majeure to carry out its obligations under this Contract, other than make payments due hereunder, the obligations of such party, so far as they are affected by such force majeure, shall be suspended during the continuance of any inability so caused but for no longer period.
