16. INTERRUPTIONS OF SERVICE
Interruptions of service for purposes of this Tariff (i) shall include but not be limited to
decreasing, suspending, or discontinuing the discharging of LNG or receipt or delivery of
Natural Gas, and (ii) shall be effected by Operator in accordance with the provisions of
this Section.
(a) Interruptions of Firm Services.
(1) If due to force majeure, routine maintenance, modifications, tests or repairs to
Operator's facilities or the need to protect the integrity or performance
capability of its facilities, the available capacity in Operator's facilities or
a portion thereof is temporarily insufficient to meet all of Operator's
authorized firm services on any day, then Operator, upon providing as much notice
as possible, shall interrupt all such services in accordance with the priorities
set forth at Section 16(d) below Operator will specify in interruption orders
issued pursuant to this Section the: (i) date and time by which Buyer must
comply; and (ii) the revised quantity (if any) authorized to flow (Lowered
Quantity). Operator will make every effort to schedule routine maintenance so
that its firm delivery obligations under Rate Schedule FPS-1, FPS-2 and FPS-3 can
be met during the Withdrawal Season.
(2) Where Operator's ability to render service is impaired in a particular portion of
Operator's facilities, interruptions of firm services shall be effected, in

portion(s) of Operator's facilities in which service has been impaired.
(3) A Buyer that fails to interrupt its firm service as directed by Operator shall be
subject to penalties as set forth at Section 12 (Penalties) of the General Terms
and Conditions.
(b) Interruptions of Interruptible Service.
(1) Operator may interrupt any interruptible services (i) for the reasons set forth

firm services. Whenever Operator determines that such interruption is
appropriate, Operator shall do so in accordance with the priorities set forth at
Section 16(d) below.
(2) Where Operator's ability to render service is impaired in a particular portion of
Operator's facilities, interruptions of interruptible services shall be effected,
in accordance with Section 16(b)(1) above, only for those Buyers served through
the portion(s) of Operator's facilities in which service has been impaired.

shall be subject to penalties as set forth at Section 12 (Penalties) of the
