GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
(continued)
19. Capacity Segmentation
Pursuant to this Section, a Shipper may divide its firm capacity rights into segments for the
purpose of capacity release to another Shipper or for its own use. Such segmentation shall be
permitted where the segmentation will not impede or adversely affect firm service to any other
Shipper. Segmentation within Reticulated Areas shall be evaluated and scheduled in accordance with
the factors set forth in Section 10.C of these General Terms and Conditions.
A. Segmentation Through Capacity Release
A Shipper releasing a segment of capacity must specify: (i) the specific segment as between any two
physical Receipt and Delivery Points which are valid for nominations; and (ii) all applicable changes to
the Shipper's MDQ at affected Primary Receipt and/or Delivery Points and to the contract MDTQ. When
segmenting, aggregate MDQ cannot exceed contract MDTQ. Such capacity release may be to another Shipper
or for the Relinquishing Shipper's own use under a separate service agreement. If nominations by a
Relinquishing Shipper and an Acquiring Shipper, or a Shipper releasing capacity to itself, overlap
anywhere on Transporter's system, the total quantities scheduled for the overlapping segment of the
system are limited to the Shipper's base contract MDTQ for that segment of the system; provided however,
that a Shipper nominating Forwardhauls up to Shipper's MDTQ and Backhauls up to Shipper's MDTQ to the
same point at the same time, regardless of whether the point is located on the mainline or on a lateral,
may nominate quantities exceeding MDTQ at Delivery Points or on delivery laterals, and such quantities
shall be scheduled subject to point and lateral capacity. A Shipper's nominations from a zone In-Line
Transfer Point, together with any other Receipt Point nominations in that zone, cannot exceed its MDTQ
for that zone. In the event nominations on overlapping segments (excluding delivery laterals) exceed
the Relinquishing Shipper's base contract MDTQ for that segment of the system, the quantities scheduled
for both the Relinquishing Shipper and the Acquiring Shipper will be limited to such MDTQ, and the
rankings provided by the Relinquishing and Acquiring Shippers in their respective nominations will be
used to reduce the nominated quantities for each Shipper separately (or, if not ranked by the Shipper,
will be reduced on a pro rata basis based on nominations).
B. Segmentation Through The Nomination Process
Segmented Transactions require specific Receipt Point to specific Delivery Point (i.e., pathed)
nominations. For a Shipper nominating receipts and deliveries on segments of its own capacity under a
single service agreement, the tariff provisions contained in the applicable rate schedule(s) and General
Terms and Conditions which limit receipt and delivery quantities nominated to such Shipper's MDTQ shall
not apply; provided however, that nominations on any segment shall be limited to the Shipper's MDTQ for
such segment. A Shipper nominating quantities consisting of Forwardhauls up to Shipper's MDTQ and
Backhauls up to Shipper's MDTQ to the same point at the same time, regardless of whether the point is
located on the mainline or on a lateral, may nominate quantities exceeding MDTQ at Delivery Points or on
delivery laterals, and such quantities shall be scheduled subject to point and lateral capacity. A
Shipper's nominations from a zone In-Line Transfer Point, together with any other Receipt Point
nominations in that zone, cannot exceed its MDTQ for that zone. In the event nominations on overlapping
segments (excluding delivery laterals) exceed the Shipper's MDTQ for that segment of the system, the
quantities scheduled will be limited to such MDTQ, and the rankings provided by the Shipper in the
nominations will be used to reduce the nominated quantities (or, if not ranked by the Shipper, will be
reduced on a pro rata basis, based on the nominations).
C. Alternate Point Rights
Subject to available capacity and overlapping segment limitations as described above, a Shipper may
nominate at Alternate Receipt Points, including the In-Line Transfer Points, and Alternate Delivery
Points, either within or outside of the Shipper's Primary Capacity Path.
D. Changes to Primary Points
Subject to available capacity, a Shipper may submit a request to add or change its Primary Points to
points either within or outside of such Shipper's Primary Capacity Path in its base contract.
Transporter will respond to the notice no later than three (3) Business Days following receipt of the
notice. Such a request may be submitted twice in any thirty (30) day period. However, Transporter
shall not be obligated to accept such requested changes if such changes would result in total subscribed
capacity resulting from such segmenting on any overlapping segment in excess of the Shipper's base
contract MDTQ on such segment. If Transporter cannot accommodate the requested addition or change in a
Shipper's Primary Point, then the Shipper can request a written explanation for the rejection at the
time of rejection, and Transporter shall be obligated to provide the requesting Shipper a written
explanation.
