                  which Seller can lawfully deliver hereunder                         
                  consistently with prudent operation of Seller’s                     
                  wells and with all rules and regulations of any                     
                  regulatory authority having jurisdiction.                           
                       (E) If any given subject well or wells be                      
                  connected to Buyer’s pipeline system and prepared                   
                  to deliver gas to Buyer hereunder during only                       
                  part of any given accounting period, then Buyer’s                   
                  take obligation in respect of such well or wells                    
                  for such accounting period shall be that propor-                    
                  tion of the take obligation otherwise applicable                    
                  which the number of days such well or wells are                     
                  connected to Buyer’s system and prepared to                         
                  deliver gas to Buyer hereunder during such period                   
                  bears to the total number of days in the period.                    
                       (F) In order to avoid disproportionate                         
                  withdrawals of gas from any well or wells, it                       
                  is agreed that if gas from any particular well                      
                  or wells otherwise deliverable hereunder is not                     
                  delivered to Buyer, either because the gas is                       
                  delivered to Seller’s lessors or used by Seller                     
                  for operations in the area pursuant to other                        
                  provisions of this contract or for any other                        
                  reason, then Buyer’s take obligations hereunder                     
                  in respect of such well or wells may, at Buyer’s                    
                  option, be reduced by amounts equivalent to such                    
                  volumes produced but not delivered to Buyer.                        
                       (G) Seller recognizes that the efficient                       
                  conduct of Buyer’s business requires the main-                      
                  tenance of accurate gas reserve records, and                        
                  Seller agrees to cooperate with Buyer to that end                   
                  and to make available to Buyer such information                     
                  as to subject wells as may be necessary or useful                   
                  to Buyer from time to time in its reserve                           
                  studies.                                                            
                       (H) If Buyer does not receive the annual                       
                  minimum which Buyer is obligated to receive                         
                  hereunder during a particular Contract Year, and                    
                  the annual minimum was available and tendered by                    
                  Seller for delivery hereunder in accordance with                    
                  the provisions of this contract, Buyer shall pay                    
                  to Seller at the price per Mcf payable hereunder                    
                  on the last day of the particular Contract Year                     
                  for a volume (hereinafter for convenience                           
                  referred to as the "annual shortage") equal to
