GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
----------------------------
(b) In issuing Operational Flow Orders to correct
problems with either too much gas or insufficient gas being
received vis-a-vis deliveries, Horizon will generally follow the
following sequence, to the extent there is sufficient time:
(1) Horizon will require all Shippers out of
balance to the detriment of the system to balance their Agreements.
(2) Horizon will seek voluntary action from
Shippers, subject to the Shipper and Horizon negotiating adequate
compensation.
(3) Horizon will interrupt interruptible services
if that will restore system flexibility prior to issuance of
generally applicable Operational Flow Orders or curtailment of firm
services. This step will be taken when Shippers are failing to
comply with previously issued Operational Flow Orders or when
Horizon cannot identify which Shippers are creating the problem.
(c) Notice of an Operational Flow Order will be posted
on DART, and will be the first item shown on the bulletin board
feature of DART. Horizon will endeavor to post the notice on DART
before 4:00 p.m. Central Time or otherwise will endeavor to notify
Shippers via DART by 4:00 p.m. Central Time that they should check
DART again at a specified later time to see whether an Operational
Flow Order will be in effect for the next day. Horizon must attempt
to give actual notice of an Operational Flow Order via telefax or
telephone (provided a Shipper has given the numbers to Horizon as
required in Section 34.1) at least four (4) hours prior to the
start of the day before an Operational Flow Order will be effective
as to a Shipper. Such notice shall specify the anticipated duration
of the Operational Flow Order. An Operational Flow Order will be
effective at the start of a day and will continue until the end of
the day and through the end of successive days until Horizon
notifies Shippers on DART that the Operational Flow Order has been
lifted.
(d) If any Shipper fails to comply with an Operational
Flow Order [other than those described in subsection (e) below]
during any period which is not a Critical Time, it shall be subject
to a penalty of $5.00 per Dth times any volume of gas by which it
deviated from the requirements of the Operational Flow Order. A
Shipper shall be exempt from such a penalty under this Section 34.6
to the extent the Operational Flow Order requires action beyond
