GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS

25. MONTHLY IMBALANCE RESOLUTION (Continued)
25.3 Netting and Trading of Transportation Imbalances: For each month, Seller will
separately aggregate Buyer's Transportation Imbalances at the contract level, within
each zone within an OIA. During the Trading Period, Buyer may trade the previous
month's Transportation Imbalances between Buyer's own contract(s) or with other
Buyers' contract(s) within zones or across zones within each OIA. Trading will be
allowed when (i) Transportation Imbalances are traded within the same OIA and (ii) the
resulting trade will reduce the Transportation Imbalance for each Buyer.
Transportation Imbalances cannot be traded with OBA Imbalances. At the end of the
Trading Period, any remaining Transportation Imbalances will be netted for each Buyer
within each zone within an OIA.
25.4 Trading Fee for Transportation Imbalances: When Buyers trade across zones within an
OIA, the Buyer holding a positive Transportation Imbalance shall pay Seller the
applicable trading fee. If the positive Transportation Imbalance being traded is
associated with a firm service contract, Buyer shall pay the applicable firm trading
fee which shall be the mileage component of the currently effective Rate Schedule FT
commodity rate for the zones of trade, excluding the zone of delivery, times the
quantity traded across zones (after Seller retains fuel for the zones of trade
excluding the zone of receipt). If the positive Transportation Imbalance traded is
associated with an interruptible service contract, Buyer shall pay the applicable
interruptible trading fee which shall be the mileage component of the currently
effective Rate Schedule IT rate for the zones of trade, excluding the zone of
delivery, times the quantity traded across zones (after Seller retains fuel for the
zones of trade excluding the zone of receipt). The firm and interruptible trading
fees and the trading fuel retention percentages are included on currently effective
Sheet Nos. 87 and 88 of this Tariff. The trading fee and trading fuel retention
percentage do not apply to any backhaul portion of a trade. The mileage components of
Seller's Rate Schedule FT commodity rate and IT rate, and fuel retention percentages
may change from time to time as reflected in Seller's FERC Gas Tariff filed with and
approved by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. To the extent Seller's Rate
Schedule FT commodity rates, IT rates and fuel retention percentages are assessed
subject to refund, the trading fee shall also be assessed subject to refund.
25.5 Final Resolution of Transportation Imbalances: If Buyer has an imbalance remaining
after the close of the Trading Period and final netting, as set forth in Section 25.3
above, such imbalance will be cashed out in accordance with the cash out provisions
set forth in Section 37.1 of the General Terms and Conditions.
25.6 Netting and Trading of OBA Imbalances: For each month, Seller will separately
determine for each OBA agreement, the net Receipt Point OBA Imbalances and net
Delivery Point OBA Imbalances, within each zone within an OIA; provided however,
Receipt Point OBA Imbalances and Delivery Point OBA Imbalances will not be netted
together. For those points that are bi-directional, the net direction of the receipt
and delivery quantities transported each month will determine whether the point will
be identified as an OBA receipt point or an OBA delivery point. During the Trading
Period, trading of the previous month's netted OBA Imbalances will be allowed within
each OIA between OBA parties unless otherwise provided in the OBA. Trading will be
allowed when (i) OBA Imbalances are traded within the same OIA and (ii) the resulting
trade will reduce the OBA Imbalances for each OBA party; provided however, Receipt
Point OBA Imbalances cannot be traded with Delivery Point OBA Imbalances.
