each month Company and Balancing Party shall "cash out" any imbalance between
receipts and Scheduled Quantities at receipt points covered by the Receipt Point
OBA. Company shall divide the monthly imbalance by the sum of the Scheduled
Quantities for all days of the month for all points covered by the OBA to determine
the percent monthly imbalance to be cashed out as set forth below:
(b) If the monthly imbalance percentage is due to an excess of receipts relative to
Scheduled Quantities, Company shall pay the Balancing Party in accordance with
Schedule A below. If the monthly imbalance percentage is due to a deficiency in
receipts relative to Scheduled Quantities, the Balancing Party shall pay Company
in accordance with Schedule B below. Notwithstanding the above, a monthly
imbalance that is less than 1000 Dekatherms shall be cashed out at the

the Balancing Party shall pay to Company the "Transportation Component" if

Balancing Party the "Transportation Component" if deliveries are less than
Scheduled Quantities.
The "Transportation Component" shall be equal to the commodity rate pursuant to:

Zone 1 to Company's system multiplied by the monthly imbalance plus
(2) an additional amount to cover the cost of gas for the system fuel and use
and lost and unaccounted for gas.

necessary to transport the imbalance on Tennessee's system by the Index price.
