GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS

7. OPERATIONAL BALANCING AGREEMENTS (OBA)
7.1 For the purpose of minimizing operational conflicts between
various pipeline facilities with respect to the delivery of Gas to
and from Trunkline's facilities, Trunkline may execute an OBA with
an operator of a Point of Receipt or a Point of Delivery on
Trunkline's system (herein called OBA Party). Such OBA shall
specify the Gas custody transfer procedures to be followed by
Trunkline and OBA Party for the confirmation of scheduled
Quantities to be received by Trunkline at the Point of Receipt or
delivered by Trunkline at the Point of Delivery. Such OBA will
provide that any variance between actual Quantities and confirmed
nomination Quantities at the point where the OBA is in place for
any Gas Day shall be subject to daily scheduling and monthly
balancing provisions as set forth in Sections 5.1 and 5.2 herein
and that such daily scheduling and monthly balancing variances are
the responsibility of the OBA Party. The Tolerance Level for an
OBA shall be ten percent (10%).
To facilitate such determination of variances on a timely basis,
Trunkline and the OBA Party will agree in the OBA on necessary
measurement and accounting procedures. Trunkline shall post on
the Messenger system those Points of Receipt and Points of
Delivery at which an OBA is in effect.
7.2 On any Gas Day, at any Point of Receipt or Point of Delivery at
which an OBA is in effect, any daily scheduling variance arising
under any Service Agreement between Shipper or TABS-1 Party and
Trunkline that is attributable to variances between actual and
scheduled Quantities at such point shall be resolved pursuant to
the terms of the applicable OBA, and Shipper or TABS-1 Party shall
not be subject to a daily scheduling penalty. Confirmed
nomination Quantities will be allocated to Shipper's or TABS-1
Party's Service Agreement for purposes of monthly balancing as
described in Section 5.2 herein. When Trunkline enters into an
OBA with a regulated interstate or intrastate pipeline, Trunkline
may waive the daily scheduling provisions in Section 5.1 herein
and the monthly balancing provisions in Section 5.2 herein to
maintain operational flexibility.
7.3 Trunkline shall have no obligation to negotiate and execute an OBA
with any party.
