the SHIPPER sending the notice, the name of the other SHIPPER
agreeing to the trade, the volume (in Dth's) of the SHIPPER'S
Net Monthly Imbalance that is to be traded, a certification
that SHIPPER has taken all steps necessary to effect the trade
with the other party, and, if applicable, confirmation of credit-
worthiness. Each SHIPPER to the trade agrees to indemnify and
hold COMPANY harmless from and against any claims that either
SHIPPER may have against the other arising out of or as a result
of the trade. Upon receipt of the Imbalance Trade Confirmation,
COMPANY shall send to each Shipper a notice of receipt ("Imbalance
Trade Notification") no later than 12:00 noon CCT of the next
business day. Imbalances trades are considered final when
confirmed by the confirming SHIPPER and effectuated by COMPANY.
(2) SHIPPER may elect to use gas in its Storage Inventory or the Storage
Inventory of a third party under a CSS Service Agreement or ISS Service
Agreement or its available storage capacity under its own or a third
party's CSS Service Agreement or ISS Service Agreement to remedy all or
any portion of its Net Monthly Imbalance; and SHIPPER shall not be
obligated to pay to the COMPANY the applicable injection or withdrawal fee
set forth under Rate Schedule CSS or Rate Schedule ISS for the amount of
gas in dth that SHIPPER elects to use to remedy its Net Monthly Imbalance.
To exercise this election to use gas in storage or storage capacity to
remedy a Net Monthly Imbalance, SHIPPER must notify COMPANY'S Customer
Services Department in writing, by e-mail or electronically via SoNet
Premier on the form provided by COMPANY by the close of the Trading Period
established under Section 14.1(f)(1) above for the month in which the
imbalance is incurred if SHIPPER is using storage inventory or storage
capacity on Southern's system to resolve its Net Monthly Imbalance. In
order for SHIPPER to use a third party's CSS or ISS Service Agreement to
resolve SHIPPER's Net Monthly Imbalance, such third party must confirm
said use by SHIPPER by the deadline set forth above to exercise the
election.
(3) Effective with the month in which the Stipulation and Agreement in Docket
No. RP04-523 becomes effective, SHIPPER may elect to use gas in its
Storage Inventory or available capacity in a third party storage facility,
provided that such third party storage facility is directly connected to
COMPANY's system, to remedy that portion of SHIPPER's Net Monthly
Imbalance or a third party SHIPPER's Net Monthly Imbalance designated by
SHIPPER electronically via e-mail or SoNet Premier that is equal to or
less than a Net Imbalance Percentage of 5%. To exercise this election,
SHIPPER must notify COMPANY's Customer Services Department in writing, by
e-mail or electronically via SoNet Premier on the form provided by COMPANY
within the same time period described above in subsection (2) for on-
system storage elections. In order for SHIPPER's election to be valid, the
third party storage facility operator and third party SHIPPER, if
applicable, must confirm acceptance of SHIPPER's election by the end of
the election period and, as part of such confirmation, COMPANY and such
storage facility operator must agree upon a method and the timing of
resolving said imbalance; provided, however, COMPANY's agreement will not
be unreasonably withheld.
(4) COMPANY shall not calculate SHIPPER'S Net Imbalance Percentage
under Section 14.1(a) above for a month until all trades and
storage resolutions for such month are completed pursuant to
this Section 14.1(f).
