GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
----------------------------
2. EXPANSION OF THE SYSTEM
Horizon may be willing to expand the System to make
capacity available to a Shipper under Rate Schedule FTS whenever
such an expansion is determined by Horizon to be economically and
technically feasible, subject to the following conditions:
(a) Horizon does not have adequate unutilized capacity
in the System to accommodate the Nominations or Requests for
Capacity of existing and prospective Shippers accepted by Horizon
pursuant to this Tariff.
(b) Horizon shall solicit existing customers for
Turnback Capacity to serve an expansion request; provided,
however, that solicitation of Turnback Capacity will only occur in
instances where redundant construction could be avoided through
the use of Turnback Capacity and that Horizon is not required to
accept any Turnback Capacity that would generate less revenue
and/or is not economically beneficial to Horizon. The solicitation
shall be posted on DART for a minimum of ten (10) days. While
Horizon's solicitation is non-binding, any response to a request
for Turnback Capacity accepted by Horizon shall be binding upon
Shipper in the event Horizon proceeds with the expansion project.
(c) Horizon has received an executed revised Agreement
from each existing and prospective Shipper requesting capacity
such that the total Contract Demands of all existing and
prospective Shippers under executed Agreements substantially
equals the prospective new System capacity.
(d) The nature, extent and timing of facilities
required for any expansion shall be at the sole discretion of
Horizon.
(e) Horizon receives acceptable assurance that Shipper
requesting additional capacity meets the credit criteria outlined
herein.
