37. CASH OUT PROVISIONS (Continued)
37.1 (a) (Continued)
(ii) For each month, the "Buy" and "Sell" Price for each zone within an OIA
shall be based upon the Reference Spot Prices established for that zone
within an OIA pursuant to Section 37.1(a)(i) above or alternate cash out
prices using different Reference Spot Prices and/or publications mutually
agreed upon by Seller and OBA Party as set forth in the OBA.
(b) A Buyer's imbalance percentage for each zone within an OIA shall be calculated by
dividing Buyer's imbalance remaining at the end of the trading period in each
zone within an OIA by Buyer's total deliveries under transactions nominated with
a receipt point in that zone within an OIA.
An OBA Party's imbalance percentage shall be calculated by dividing OBA Party's
imbalance remaining at the end of the trading period by the total scheduled
quantities at the point(s) covered by the OBA.
(c) At the end of the trading period, if a Buyer's imbalance in a zone within an OIA
is "Due From" Buyer and the aggregate imbalance for all Buyers in that zone
within an OIA is "Due From" Buyer, such Buyer shall be defined as a majority
shipper for that zone within an OIA. A majority shipper shall cash out the
imbalance for that zone within an OIA based on tiers beginning with (i) below and
progressing through each subsequent tier until the entire imbalance has been
cashed out. Each tiered imbalance quantity shall be calculated by multiplying
the percentage imbalance, as stated in (i) through (vi) below, times Buyer's
total deliveries. Any imbalance in that zone within an OIA that is equal to or
less than 1,000 dt shall be cashed out using the provisions set forth in (i)
below.
(i) Imbalance quantities which are equal to or less than a 2.5% imbalance
shall be multiplied by the applicable "Sell" price calculated as a
Weighted Average Spot Price for that zone. The Weighted Average Spot
Price shall be determined by multiplying the simple average of the
weekly Reference Spot Prices calculated pursuant to Section 37.1(a)(i)
by the cumulative imbalance quantity for all Buyers that have a "Due To"
Buyer imbalance in that zone then, multiplying the highest weekly
Reference Spot Price by the net imbalance quantity for all Buyers in
that zone and, dividing the sum of the dollars calculated in the first
two steps by the cumulative imbalance quantity for all majority shippers
in that zone; then
(ii) Imbalance quantities which are greater than a 2.5% imbalance but less
than or equal to a 5% imbalance shall be multiplied by the applicable
"Sell" price which shall be the highest weekly Reference Spot Price;
then
(iii) Imbalance quantities which are greater than a 5% imbalance but less than
or equal to a 10% imbalance shall be multiplied by the applicable "Sell"
price which shall be the highest weekly Reference Spot Price multiplied
by a factor of 120%; then
(iv) Imbalance quantities which are greater than a 10% imbalance but less
than or equal to a 15% imbalance shall be multiplied by the applicable
"Sell" price which shall be the highest weekly Reference Spot Price
multiplied by a factor of 130%; then
