19.2 During Critical Periods, firm Customers who exceed their service

charged a penalty being two (2) times the Penalty Price (for the
Day(s) in which the Critical Period was in effect) per Dekatherm.
19.3 Penalties under this Section are not cumulative and only the
highest applicable penalty will be assessed for any time period
where multiple penalties were in effect. Gulf Crossing may post
on its Internet Web Site instructions to Customers that indicate
specific actions which would benefit the system and do not
require specific approval. Otherwise, before taking any action
which it believes will assist Gulf Crossing in resolving any
operational problem, a Customer should contact Gulf Crossing's
Customer Service Department for approval of such action. No
Customer shall be assessed penalties under this Section where
such penalties were a result of actions taken pursuant to
pipeline directives issued to assist in correcting operational
problems. Any penalties, fees, or other applicable charges
incurred pursuant to this Section shall be invoiced pursuant to
Section 15 hereof.
19.4 On or before the date March invoices are tendered each year

refunds will be paid and the penalty revenue collected and/or any

Section 154.501(d) of the Commission's Regulations and applied to
