Algonquin and the Operator will agree in the Operational Balancing Agreement on
necessary measurement and accounting procedures. Algonquin shall post on its Internet

a copy of any executed Operational Balancing Agreement. A form of Operational
Balancing Agreement is contained among the forms of service agreements contained in

30.3 Prerequisites to Execution. It is Algonquin's intent to negotiate and execute
Operational Balancing Agreements on a non-discriminatory basis with any Operator.
However, Algonquin shall have no obligation to negotiate and execute Operational
Balancing Agreements with any Operator that:
(a) is not creditworthy as determined pursuant to Section 3 of these General Terms
and Conditions, substituting the term "Operator" for "Customer" for this purpose;
(b) does not maintain a dispatching operation which is staffed on a continuous,
around-the-clock basis;
(c) would cause an increase in the level of regulation which Algonquin is subject to
prior to the execution of the applicable Operational Balancing Agreement; or
(d) does not commit to timely determination of imbalances based on reasonable
available measurement technology.
30.4 Right To Protect System Integrity. Nothing in this Section 30 nor any executed
Operational Balancing Agreement shall limit Algonquin's rights to take action as
may be required to adjust receipts and deliveries under any transportation
agreement to reflect actual experience or to alleviate conditions which threaten
the integrity of Algonquin's pipeline system, including maintenance of service to
higher priority Customers or services.
