GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS (Cont'd)
6.6 Monitoring.
(a) Transporter may monitor: (i) the daily production by or on behalf of any Shipper; the daily
tenders of gas by or on behalf of any Shipper; (ii) the quantities delivered by an Intermediate Transporter
(such as a local distribution company or other entity that receives Shipper's gas from Transporter) to Shipper
or Shipper's end-user(s); and (iii) the daily usage of gas by Shipper or Shipper's end-user(s). Transporter
may do so for the purpose of monitoring on an hourly, daily, weekly, or monthly basis the quantities being
tendered to and delivered by Transporter and thereby to maintain, as nearly as possible, a concurrent balance
between receipts and deliveries of gas. The approximate quantities determined by Transporter in that
monitoring process shall be referred to herein as Monitored Quantities.
(b) Monitoring may be performed by Transporter using either the estimates or actual data received
by Transporter pursuant to this Section or actual meter readings by Transporter. Transporter may make
reasonable prospective adjustments to Shipper's Scheduled Daily Delivery Quantity and Scheduled Daily Receipt
Quantity based upon either the Monitored Quantities or the actual data received by Transporter pursuant to the
provisions of this Section. Any such adjustments by Transporter shall not result in Shipper's incurrence of
any penalty if Transporter, in making such adjustment, relied upon inaccurate estimates, inaccurate meter
readings, or inaccurate data received by Transporter pursuant to this Section. Transporter may make such
adjustments upon Electronic Notice Delivery or telephonic notice to Shipper 24 hours in advance of the
effective time of the adjustment (or, in the case of intra-day changes in nominations, upon reasonable notice
to the Shipper being bumped); provided, however, that Transporter need not provide any advance notice in the
event of adjustments resulting from: (i) interruptions of Shipper's service pursuant to Section 16
(Interruptions of Service) of the General Terms and Conditions; (ii) operational flow orders issued by
Transporter pursuant to Section 17 (Operational Flow Orders) of the General Terms and Conditions; or (iii) the
cessation of deliveries pursuant to Section 6.3(e). Transporter need not provide any advance notice of
interruptions or OFOs except as provided for in Sections 16 and 17, respectively. Transporter also shall have
the right to notify any entity described at paragraphs (c) and (d) of this Section of the revised Scheduled
Daily Receipt Quantities it will accept on behalf of Shipper.
(c) Transporter shall have the right to contact and obtain actual or estimated data regarding
production or tenders to Transporter on behalf of Shipper from any entity (i) from whom Shipper is purchasing
gas for tender to Transporter, or any other brokers or resellers of such gas; (ii) that is delivering or
causing the tender of gas to Transporter for Shipper's account; or (iii) that is producing gas ultimately
purchased by Shipper for tendering to Transporter. Shipper shall cause each such entity to provide such
actual or estimated data to Transporter upon request in the normal course of business as soon as such data is
available.
(d) Shipper shall furnish to Transporter with its nominations a list, by receipt points, showing
the names and addresses of each entity identified in paragraph (c) above and the name and telephone number of
the contact person who will provide the data required to be furnished pursuant to paragraph (c) above.
Shipper's nominations shall also include (i) the identity of the shipper on any upstream or downstream
pipeline that will be tendering the gas directly to Transporter or taking gas from Transporter and the
shipper's contract number on such upstream pipeline or downstream pipeline, and (ii) the identity and gas
sales contract number of any producer that will be tendering the gas directly to Transporter. Such data shall
be furnished regardless of the entity from whom Shipper is purchasing the gas. A marketer, broker or other
similar entity selling gas or arranging the sale of gas to more than one Shipper may furnish such data to
Transporter on behalf of all such Shippers, segregated to each Shipper. Transporter reserves the right, in
appropriate circumstances on a non-discriminatory basis, to waive the information requirements set forth in
this paragraph.
