GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
(Continued)
13. OPERATING CONDITIONS (Continued)
(e) Failure to Comply with OFO. If Shipper (or Shipper's designee or
successor) fails to comply with the terms of an OFO for reasons other
than force majeure such Shipper, its designee or successor shall be
liable for a penalty equal to the greater of twenty-five dollars
($25.00) or four (4) times the highest absolute price at Sumas,
Washington as reflected in the Daily Price Survey published in "Gas
Daily" for each of the days during which a Shipper fails to comply
with an OFO for each Dth of gas that does not comply. Transporter may
in its reasonable judgment waive on a nondiscriminatory basis
penalties due to noncompliance with an issued OFO. No penalties shall
be assessed on Shipper for noncompliance with an issued OFO when such
OFO is due to force majeure invoked
by Transporter.
(f) Penalty Revenue Crediting. Transporter shall credit penalty revenues,
less reasonable administrative and operating costs, received by
Transporter pursuant to Section 13.13(e) during any month. Such
credits will be allocated to all firm and interruptible transportation
customers (collectively, the Specified Customers"), except each
penalty revenue credit shall be allocated only to those customers who
were not assessed any such penalty in the month for which such penalty
revenues are to be credited. The credits will be allocated to the
Specified Customers pro rata in proportion to the revenue (total
revenue, net of credits from capacity releases as described in Section
20 of the General Terms and Conditions, less all surcharges) received
by Transporter from each and all of the Specified Customers for each
applicable month. Such revenue credits shall be reflected as a credit
billing adjustment to the next month's billings rendered after the
applicable month. In the event that such credit billing adjustments
would result in a credit total invoice to any Specified Customer,
Transporter will refund the credit billing adjustment to the Specified
Customer in cash within 15 days after determination of the amount of
the credit due to the Specified Customer.
