8. EXPIRATION OF TERM
8.1 Failure to Return Gas. On or before the end of an ILS service period,
Shipper must have delivered to the Storage Facility a volume of Gas equal to
the loaned quantities borrowed by Shipper under the relevant Service
Agreement. Except as provided under Section 8.3 below, if Shipper fails to
re-deliver all loaned quantities on or before the last Day of the service
period, Freebird will have the right, at its sole option, to either (i)
attempt to negotiate with Shipper to enter into a new Service Agreement, on an
interruptible basis, related to such unreturned loaned quantities (for
example, a new ILS Service Agreement), (ii) treat the loaned quantities that
have not been re-delivered as a sale of such loaned quantities to Shipper
under the terms set forth in Section 8.2, and/or (iii) resort to a combination
of both such remedies. Freebird’s election to enter into a new Service
Agreement will not prevent it from subsequently exercising its rights pursuant
to Section 8.2 at any time loaned quantities have not been re-delivered to
Freebird after the end of the new service period. Freebird’s resort to any
remedy under this Article 8 will not relieve Shipper of its obligation to pay
Freebird for any applicable charges accruing to Shipper’s account before such
actions are taken.
8.2 Transfer of Title. Pursuant to the provisions of Section 8.1 above, but
subject to Section 8.3 below, at Freebird’s sole option, Freebird shall charge
Shipper, and Shipper shall pay within ten (10) Days of Freebird’s invoice, for
a quantity of Gas thermally equivalent to the loaned quantities that were not
returned to Freebird, at a price per Dth equal to the Current Market Price of
such Gas, plus Freebird’s costs related to Shipper’s failure to timely return
the loaned Gas, with "Current Market Price" being measured on the date on
which Freebird liquidates Shipper’s outstanding ILS quantities and which is
the greater of (A) the NYMEX Prompt Month settlement price, as adjusted for
the applicable basis differential, and (B) the "balance of month" market price
as reflected by Intercontinental Exchange ("ICE") (or the open market price,
if ICE has no relevant balance of month price information available on a
timely basis). Freebird will invoice Shipper for such amount and Shipper’s
loaned quantities with respect to the relevant Service Agreement will be
decreased accordingly upon Shipper’s payment therefor.
8.3 Force Majeure. The provisions of Sections 8.1 and 8.2 are subject to the
provisions of this Section 8.3. To the extent Shipper is unable to deliver to
the Storage Facility a volume of gas equal to the loaned quantities borrowed
by Shipper under a Service Agreement before the end of the applicable service
period by reason of suspension of injection rights during the service period
caused by Force Majeure declared by Freebird or other curtailment of such
rights declared by Freebird, Shipper shall be allowed to nominate to deliver
to the Storage Facility all remaining loaned quantities under such Service
Agreement, on an interruptible basis and in accordance with Shipper’s MDIQ,
and Freebird shall refrain from exercising its rights under Sections 8.1 and
8.2, for a reasonable time after the expiry of such Force Majeure or
curtailment period (i.e., the same number of Days as Shipper’s injection
rights were subject to such Force Majeure and/or curtailment period during the
initial service period), provided, however, that after such reasonable time
the terms of Sections 8.1 and 8.2 shall once again apply.
