For purposes of determining the tier at which an imbalance will be cashed
out, the price will apply only to volumes within a tier. For example, if
there is a 7% imbalance, volumes that make up the first 5% of the
imbalance are priced at 100% of the LP. Volumes making up the remaining
2% of the imbalance are priced at 85% of the LP.
(d) Access to Information - Upon request, Transporter will make available
within one business day following the production day the best information
it has concerning the total physical deliveries at applicable delivery
points. In addition, Transporter will make available by electronic means
the best information it has concerning the scheduled and allocated
deliveries at all of Operator's delivery points. No later than 11:00 a.m.
Central Time on the first full business day following the production day,
this information regarding the scheduled and allocated deliveries shall
become "Operational Data" and Operators will be entitled to rely on the
Operational Data for purposes of correcting imbalances during the month.
Imbalances will be cashed out on the basis of actual deliveries and
scheduled quantities; provided that the penalty level and pricing
associated with imbalances will be based upon the lesser of (1) the
monthly operational imbalance reported by Transporter based upon the
Operational Data or (2) the monthly imbalance based upon actual receipts
and deliveries at such locations.
(e) Limitation on Penalties - Any imbalances caused by an event which excuses
performance under Article X of the General Terms and Conditions or caused
by an action of Transporter, will not be included in the calculation of
the % monthly imbalance for purposes of determining the appropriate cash
out level of this Rate Schedule.
(f) If Transporter, from time to time, uses temporary third party storage and
associated transportation service to balance its system or to avoid
circumstances which would require restrictions on gas flows, Transporter
shall post on PASSKEY twice per calendar year its need for such
additional storage and the specific area where the assistance is needed.
Transporter shall accept competitive bids to meet its need and post the
results of the auction.

August 31 ("Annual Cashout Period"), Transporter shall determine
its Net Cashout Balance and file with the Commission a Cashout
