              GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
                       (Continued)
   
     section shall not apply in the case of deliberate omission
     or misrepresentation or mutual mistake or fact.  Parties
     other statutory or contractual rights shall not be
     diminished by this standard.
   
     15.  Facilities
   
          Unless otherwise agreed to by the parties, Clear Creek
     shall not be required to own, construct and install any
     facilities to perform the service requested by Customer.  If
     Clear Creek agrees to own, construct and install facilities
     to perform the service requested by Customer, Customer shall
     reimburse Clear Creek for all costs associated therewith
     either on a lump sum or incremental fee basis, as agreed to
     by the parties.
   
          Customers payment to Clear Creek shall include the
     full cost of the facility, the tax burden created by the
     payment, as well as the tax-on-tax effect generated by the
     payment.  Reimbursement for federal income taxes on
     Customers payment will be computed by first determining the
     tax-on-tax effect, and then deducting the economic value of
     the future tax benefit provided by the future depreciation
     of plant involved in the payment.
   
          The tax-on-tax effect will be determined by the product
     of (a) the dollar amount qualifying as a contribution in aid
     of construction under the Tax Reform Act of 1986 and (b) the
     "tax rate" divided by 1 minus the tax rate as demonstrated
     below:
   
                         Tax Rate
                         1-Tax Rate
   
          The economic value of the tax benefit provided by the
     future depreciation of plant shall be calculated by Clear 
     Creek according to the economic value formula set out in
     Section 3 of these General Terms and Conditions.  Customer
     shall have no ownership interest in the additional
     facilities installed by Clear Creek.
   
     16.  Cushion Gas
   
          Clear Creek shall, as it determines necessary, make
     periodic adjustments to its storage Cushion Gas inventory to
     support the levels of Storage Service  for itself and other
     Customers.
