8. FAILURE OF COMPANY
8.1 In the event Company fails to deliver on any day the quantity of gas requested
up to the Transportation Quantity that Company is obligated by the FT-B
Agreement to deliver to Shipper on such day, then Shipper shall not be relieved
from its obligation to make payment of amounts then due or that become due
hereunder including, but not limited to, the Demand Charge(s) set forth in this
Rate Schedule if such failure is attributable to Shipper's conduct or results
from an event that excuses performance under Section 10 of the General Terms
and Conditions. Provided that:
(a) in situations in which Company's failure to deliver the Scheduled
Quantities results from a force majeure event that excuses performance
under Section 10 of the General Terms and Conditions, Shipper will remain
liable for all amounts due or that become due under the Rate Schedule
during the time of reduced deliveries for a period not to exceed ten days
from the occurrence of the force majeure event;
(b) in situations in which Company's failure to deliver the Scheduled
Quantities results from repair and maintenance that excuses performance
under Section 10 of the General Terms and Conditions, Shipper will remain
liable for all amounts due or that become due under this Rate Schedule
only to the extent that Company has provided 30 days prior notice of the
repair and maintenance to Shipper. If a Shipper does not receive all
Scheduled Quantities due to maintenance and repair, then, to the greatest
extent possible, such Shipper will be provided an opportunity to
re-schedule the quantities at the FT-B commodity rate that Company failed
to deliver even if such scheduling would result in a Shipper exceeding its
Transportation Quantity on a given day.
8.2 In all other circumstances not referenced in Subsection 8.1 above, including
the issuance of an Operational Flow Order, if Company fails to tender for
delivery during any one or more days 95 percent of the Scheduled Quantity up to
the Transportation Quantity specified in the transportation contract, then the
Demand Charge as otherwise computed hereunder shall be reduced by an amount
equal to the applicable Daily Demand Rate per Dekatherm times the difference
between the quantity of natural gas tendered for delivery during said day or
days, and 95 percent of the Scheduled Quantity. If Company fails to schedule
the full quantity nominated by a Shipper as a result of an Operational Flow
Order, then the Demand Charge as otherwise computed hereunder shall be reduced
by an amount equal to the applicable Daily Demand Rate per Dekatherm times the
difference between the quantity nominated by Shipper and the quantity scheduled
by Company.
