5. Daily Imbalances Charges
(a) The Daily Imbalance for a Balancing Party or Shipper ("Party") shall be
the difference between the total net quantities scheduled for receipt at

("Agreement") and the actual quantities of gas taken by the Party at
such point(s) for each day.

at 12 PM CCT each gas day, Transporter shall monitor the net pipeline
position and provide notice via e-mail to customers the first time the
net pipeline position is greater than plus or minus 4.5%. Transporter
shall determine the net pipeline position by dividing the sum of the
total positive or negative cumulative imbalances at all points covered
by this Rate Schedule and the total positive or negative cumulative
imbalances at all points covered under Rate Schedule LMS-MA by the sum
of the total scheduled quantities at all points covered under this Rate
Schedule and the total scheduled quantities at all points covered under
Rate Schedule LMS-MA. The resulting % imbalance is the net pipeline
position.
(c) On a day that the net pipeline position exceeds plus or minus 5%, any
Party under this Rate Schedule that 1) has a Daily Imbalance that
exceeds the greater of 10% of scheduled quantities or 1,000 Dth but less

Daily Imbalance is in the same direction as the net pipeline position,
shall be assessed a per dekatherm Daily Imbalance Charge equal to two
times the currently effective maximum rate under Transporter's Rate
Schedule PAL. The Daily Imbalance Charge under this Section 5(c) shall
apply only to those quantities of the Daily Imbalance that exceed the
greater of 10% of scheduled quantities or 1,000 Dth but are less than or
equal to 20% of the Party's scheduled quantities for that day.
