12. Winter Season Provisions
During the Winter Season, Texas Gas will deliver to Customer up to Customer's Contract
Demand and Customer's Winter Quantity Entitlement-WNS as set forth below. Customer's
Contract Demand may vary each month of the five-month Winter Season; provided, however,
the Contract Demand in any month may not be zero and must be at least 50% of the
highest agreed Contract Demand quantity of any other month.
12.1 Customer may nominate into Texas Gas' system a quantity of gas up to Customer's
Nominated Daily Quantity-WNS.
12.2 In addition to the Nominated Daily Quantity-WNS actually scheduled by Customer,
Texas Gas will adjust deliveries from or injections into storage from
Customer's available Unnominated Daily Quantity to meet Customer's requirements
up to Customer's Contract Demand. Although a formal nomination is not required
to receive Customer's available Unnominated Daily Quantity-WNS, Customer shall
provide operational notice to Texas Gas of its anticipated needs.
12.3 Texas Gas shall maintain an account reflecting the net amount of Unnominated
Daily Quantity-WNS actually utilized by Customer, which net amount shall not
exceed the Maximum Unnominated Quantity-WNS. The initial balance in this
account shall be zero and the closing balance at the earlier of the end of the
Winter Season or the end of the Contract term, shall also be zero. Customer
shall maintain a positive account balance during the Winter Season to meet its
Unnominated Daily Quantity-WNS. To the extent operationally possible and
without impact on any other firm customer, Texas Gas may, upon request by
Customer and approval by Texas Gas, allow a Customer to withdraw more gas from
storage than is in its account; provided, however, that Texas Gas may give
notice requiring the Customer to return its account balance to zero within 24
hours. If the Customer fails to return its account balance consistent with
such notice, the Customer shall pay a penalty of up to $50 per MMBtu per day
for each MMBtu remaining out of balance.
12.4 During Winter Season, Texas Gas will also inject gas into storage on a best
efforts basis as part of WNS service. Although such injections will be done on
a best efforts basis, Texas Gas will be presumed, unless it gives notice to the
contrary, to be able to inject into storage such quantities of gas as to take
into account routine variations in no-notice deliveries. If Texas Gas is
unable to make such best efforts injections, it will advise Customer by posting
on its Internet Website. However, no presumption will exist for non-routine
situations (e.g. sustained injections of more than three days) and, in such
non-routine situations, Customer must give 24 hours advance written notice to
Texas Gas of quantities it desires to inject into storage, so that Texas Gas
can determine the extent to which it can make such injections and adjust its
operations accordingly.
