GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS (Continued)
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 any 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 OFO's 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, 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
