7.2 Unauthorized Contract Demand Overrun Penalty
In any month in which Customer takes an Unauthorized Contract Demand Overrun,
Customer shall pay to Texas Gas the following penalties in addition to the charges
otherwise payable hereunder:
(a) A "Nominal Overrun Penalty" equal to twice the effective FT Overrun Rate
for all Unauthorized Contract Demand Overrun Quantities taken on any day
over 102 percent of the Contract Demand; and
(b) An "Excess Overrun Penalty" of $10.00 per MMBtu for all Unauthorized
Contract Demand Overrun Quantities taken on any day in excess of 105% of
Contract Demand.
In the event a Customer incurs an Excess Overrun Penalty, Texas Gas will credit
any amounts collected as a Nominal Overrun Penalty against amounts collected as
an Excess Overrun Penalty, so that the total Overrun Penalty collected does not
exceed $10.00 per MMBtu for overruns in excess of 105% of Contract Demand.
The payment of a penalty for Unauthorized Contract Demand Overrun by a Customer
shall not under any circumstances be considered as giving such Customer the right
to take Unauthorized Contract Demand Overrun nor shall such payment be considered
as a substitute for any other remedies available to Texas Gas or any of Texas
Gas' other Customers against the offending Customer for failure to respect its
obligation to adhere to the provisions of its contract with Texas Gas.
Texas Gas shall have the right, without obligation, to waive, on a non-
discriminatory basis, any Nominal Overrun Penalty for an Unauthorized Contract
Demand Overrun if, on the day when the Unauthorized Contract Demand Overrun was
taken, deliveries to Texas Gas' other Customers were not adversely affected by the
taking of such Unauthorized Contract Demand Overrun or if Texas Gas' pipeline
operations, including gas storage operations, were not impaired thereby. Texas
Gas must waive any Excess Overrun Penalty if the Unauthorized Contract Demand
Overrun occurs in a non-critical situation and does not cause operational
problems.
Texas Gas shall be obligated to waive any penalty for Unauthorized Contract
Demand Overrun:
(a) when such overrun is taken under circumstances beyond the control of
Customer due to emergency conditions on Texas Gas' facilities, or
(b) when such overrun is due to accident to or breakage of pipelines,
machinery or equipment of the Customer; provided, however, Customer shall
promptly and diligently take such action as may be necessary and
practicable under the then existing circumstances to repair or otherwise
remedy the situation and furnish Texas Gas satisfactory evidence that such
accident or breakage was not due to Customer's gross negligence.
