GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
----------------------------
(a) These amounts shall be used first to compensate
KMIP for any cashout expenses and for any extraordinary out-of-
pocket costs it has incurred (including any compensation KMIP
agreed to provide for voluntary actions) to alleviate the
conditions which were created by the imbalance or the Unauthorized
Overrun or other violation or which resulted in the issuance of an
Operational Flow Order or the declaration of Critical Time or other
operational action taken by KMIP under Section 32 of these General
Terms and Conditions. Costs that may be netted against penalty
revenue may include only actual, verifiable and prudent incremental
costs incurred to resolve the reliability concerns actually caused
by the particular party or parties against which the penalty has
been assessed and must relate to a circumstance which resulted in
the penalty revenue to be credited under this provision. If these
amounts are not adequate to reimburse KMIP for cashout expenses,
the unreimbursed cashout expenses shall be carried forward to
future Years until recouped.
(b) (1) Any remaining amounts will be refunded pro
rata to all Shippers, except as provided below, through a credit to
current billing wherever feasible, based on the ratio of a
Shipper's total base reservation and base commodity charges paid
during each Month to all such charges paid by all Shippers during
such Month; provided, however, that such calculation shall exclude
charges paid by any Shipper during any Month in which such Shipper
failed to comply with an Operational Flow Order or had an
Unauthorized Overrun. The refunds in the prior sentence shall be
calculated on a Monthly basis but distribution of the credit shall
be annual. If the costs to be netted against penalty revenue exceed
the penalty revenue in any Month, the excess costs may be carried
forward to be applied against penalty revenue in subsequent months.
Thus, while distribution is made annually, the net penalty revenue
credit shall be calculated on a Monthly basis, subject to the carry
forward of costs as stated in the prior sentence. A Shipper which
failed to comply with an Operational Flow Order or which had an
Unauthorized Overrun shall be excluded from distribution of net
penalty revenues only for the Month in which that violation
occurred. In the event that, for any Month, no penalty revenues
were distributed because all Shippers failed to comply with
Operational Flow Orders for that Month, then the amount of the
penalty revenue for that Month shall be held by KMIP for
application under Section 9.7(a) for a period of up to two (2)
years, at the end of which time the remaining amount will be
included in the amount for distribution in the then current annual
period.
