PIPELINE BALANCING AGREEMENT (continued)
(For Use at Interconnections with Qualifying Pipelines)
the first business day after each production day. In the event that a capacity
constraint occurs on either Party's pipeline system which results in curtailment
of quantities through an Interconnection Point(s), the Party on whose system the
constraint has occurred shall determine the reallocation of quantities to the
Shippers. Such change in allocation shall be confirmed electronically or in
writing pursuant to the provisions of Article I (1.1) above. If the constraint
occurs at an Interconnection Point, the Party which operates the meter at an
Interconnection Point shall be deemed to have the constraint on its system. To
the extent that a pipeline has a record of not meeting its balancing obligations
(i.e., in-kind make-up within 72 hours), Transporter will have a right to
terminate the agreement upon 30 days notice.
2.3 Corrections In Subsequent Periods - The physical flow at each Interconnection
Point each month will be determined and communicated by the Party controlling
the meter to the other Party electronically or in writing as soon as possible
during the month following the month in question. The Parties agree to "In
Kind" balancing between Pipeline and Transporter when the imbalance at the end
of the month is within 1% of the total monthly scheduled quantities at the
meter. Any "In Kind" imbalance carried over from the prior month will become
part of the current Monthly Imbalance. Any imbalance existing at the time of
the implementation of a new Pipeline Balancing Agreement will be held separately
and settled independently. When the Monthly Imbalance is greater than 1% of the
monthly scheduled quantities at the meter, the entire imbalance will be cashed
out in accordance the applicable LMS Rate Schedule in Transporter's FERC Gas
Tariff, unless the imbalance was caused by failure of Transporter to adjust flow
control at the meter.
2.4 Measurement of Operational Imbalance - Measurement of gas for all purposes shall
be in accordance with Transporter's FERC Gas Tariff.
2.5 Operational Integrity - Nothing in this Article II shall limit a Party's right
to take action as may be required to adjust deliveries of gas in order to
alleviate conditions which threaten the integrity of its system.
