GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
----------------------------
10.6 BILLING
(a) In the event Horizon does not have all actual
information by the time the billings are to be sent, Horizon may
bill Balancing Service Charges applicable to non-Critical Times
based on reasonable estimates. Such non-Critical Time Balancing
Service Charges will be assessed or revised as a result of the
receipt or revision of actual information.
(b) During a Critical Time, Horizon and Shippers
shall rely on Horizon's operational data posted on Horizon's
Interactive Website to determine whether a Critical Time Balancing
Service Charge is applicable; provided, however, if a Shipper is
convinced that Horizon's operational data is erroneous and
promptly (by the end of the next business day following the
posting) communicates the error to Horizon, Horizon and the
Shipper shall work to resolve the discrepancy and determine the
appropriate measure of the Shipper's compliance with applicable
tolerances.
(c) For a point operator under Section 9.3 of these
General Terms and Conditions, Balancing Service Charges shall be
applied to point operator's account as though point operator were
a Shipper, with percentage variances measured in relationship to
total confirmed nominations and delivery rights under Applicable
Agreements at the Delivery Point.
10.7 All amounts collected by Horizon for penalties,
commencing with December 1, 2003, shall be determined for each
annual period ending December 31 and distributed, through a credit
to current billings wherever feasible, within ninety (90) days
after each December 31, with the first such determination and
distribution being made within ninety (90) days after December 31,
2004. For purposes of this Section 10.7, penalties shall include:
Unauthorized Overrun Charges, Balancing Service Charges, charges
for failure to comply with an Operational Flow Order (including
during a Critical Time) and charges for cashout of imbalances.
Such distribution shall be made as follows:
(a) These amounts shall be used first to compensate
Horizon for any cashout expenses and for any extraordinary out-of-
pocket costs it has incurred (including any compensation Horizon
agreed to provide for voluntary actions) to alleviate the
conditions which were created by the imbalance or the Unauthorized
Overrun or other violation or which resulted in the issuance of an
