15. DETERMINATION OF DELIVERIES AND IMBALANCES (Continued)
In the event an undertake situation exists, Transporter shall
notify each Receiving Party of the volume required to be taken off the
system within the next 72 hours as imbalance make-up to eliminate the
underrun imbalances so as to return the system to a reasonable
operational level and avoid the imbalance penalty as specified in
Section 15.5(c)(v). Such volumes shall be based upon cumulative
underrun imbalances which contributed to the underrun imbalance problem
as determined by Transporter's operational data up to the date of the
Declared Entitlement Period and calculated for each Receiving Party in
proportion to such party's undertakes. Daily unauthorized underrun
charges as specified in Sections 15.5(c)(iii) and (iv) will also apply
if Receiving Party causes additional unauthorized underrun imbalances
during a Declared Entitlement Period.
Receiving Party shall pay Transporter for all unauthorized overrun
or underrun volumes, as defined in Section 15.5(a) above, that meet or
exceed the percentage specified by Transporter in its Declared
Entitlement. Such percentage will be (i) in Transporter's sole
discretion 3%, or, in the case of a Declared Entitlement announced on
the day it is to be in effect, 5% for that day (Stage I), 8% (Stage II)
or 13% (Stage III) of Receiving Party's entitlement as set forth in
Section 15.5(b) with respect to unauthorized overrun volumes
(individually, the "Threshold Percentage"), and (ii) 5% of Receiving
Party's entitlement as set forth in Section 15.5(b) with respect to
underrun volumes. The following amounts will be payable in addition to
the amounts otherwise payable by Receiving Party to Transporter under
Transporter's applicable Rate Schedules, subject only to the provisions
set forth in (d) below:
(i) For that part of the unauthorized overrun volume which is at
least the Threshold Percentage of Receiving Party's entitlement
for such day, but less than the Threshold Percentage plus 2% of
Receiving Party's entitlement for such day, an amount per Dth as
set forth on Sheet No. 5 of this tariff.
(ii) For that part of the unauthorized overrun volume which is at
least the Threshold Percentage plus 2% of Receiving Party's
entitlement for such day, an amount per Dth as set forth on Sheet
No. 5 of this tariff.
