GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
(continued)
with employees or with anyone purporting or seeking to represent employees shall not be
considered to be a matter within the control of the party claiming suspension.
11.2 Liabilities Not Relieved
Neither Shipper nor Transporter shall be relieved from liability in the event of its concurring
negligence or failure on its part to use due diligence to remedy the force majeure and remove
the cause with all reasonable dispatch nor shall such causes or contingencies affecting
performance of the Service Agreement relieve either party from its obligations to make payments
then due for its gas theretofore delivered.
11.3 Relief from Demand Charge Adjustment Where Curtailment of Deliveries on Transporter's System is
Due to Compliance with Directives of Governmental Agencies
Whenever in order to comply with orders or directives of duly constituted authorities,
including, but not limited to, the Department of Transportation and the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission, or its successor or agency, Transporter must curtail deliveries to
Shipper and is unable to deliver to Shipper the quantities of gas which Transporter is then
obligated to deliver to Shipper under a firm Service Agreement, Transporter shall not be
obligated to reduce Shipper's demand charge, if any, under the demand charge adjustment
provisions of any of Transporter's Rate Schedules, notwithstanding anything in such provisions
to the contrary, nor shall Transporter be liable in damages or otherwise to Shipper or any
other person or entity for any such failure to deliver such quantities of gas to Shipper.
11.4 Pro-ration of Impaired Deliveries Due to Capacity Shortage on Transporter's System
Interruptible transportation service provided by Transporter shall be (i) interrupted
or curtailed for reasons of force majeure or when necessary in Transporter's sole
opinion and judgment to meet its system operational requirements or its ability to meet
its obligations under firm transportation agreements, or (ii) interrupted or
curtailed due to any other operational considerations to be determined in the
reasonable discretion of Transporter.
If at any time Transporter does not have sufficient capacity available for reasons of
force majeure or due to any other operational considerations to be reasonably
determined by Transporter, to enable Transporter to deliver to Shippers under all of
Transporter's Rate Schedules the quantities of gas which Shippers may then require up
to the quantities of gas Transporter has then scheduled to deliver to Shippers, then
deliveries to such Shippers shall be curtailed in accordance with the following
priorities of service:
1) Overrun transportation quantities and interruptible transportation quantities
nominated in excess of contract quantities and scheduled pursuant to Section 22 of
these General Terms and Conditions -- based on lowest price;
2) Firm transportation quantities -- on a pro rata basis, based on scheduled
quantities.
