(h) Termination of an Action Alert or OFO: TRES
PALACIOS shall lift any effective Action Alert or OFO promptly
upon the cessation of operating conditions that caused the

Action Alert or the OFO, TRES PALACIOS shall post a notice on its
Internet Web Site specifying the factors that caused the Action
Alert or OFO to be issued and then lifted, to the extent such
factors are known. TRES PALACIOS shall also provide such
notification via e-mail communication to those Customers who have
submitted a request, and provided e-mail address information for
at least one contact person, via TRES PALACIOS' Internet Web Site
to receive e-mail notification of Critical Notices issued by TRES
PALACIOS.
(i) Penalties: All quantities tendered to TRES
PALACIOS and/or taken by Customer on a daily basis in violation of
an Action Alert or OFO shall constitute unauthorized receipts or
deliveries for which the applicable Action Alert or OFO penalty
charge stated below shall be assessed.
(l) Action Alert penalty charge for each Dekatherm of Gas by
which Customer deviated from the requirements of the Action Alert
shall be equal to an Action Alert Index Price, calculated as 110%
of the applicable daily Gas Daily Mid Point price posting for
Tennessee Zone Zero for the Day on which the deviation occurred,
multiplied by the quantity by which the Customer deviated from the
requirements of the Action Alert.
(2) OFO penalty charge for each Dekatherm of Gas by which
Customer deviated from the requirements of the OFO shall be equal
to an OFO Index Price, calculated as three (3) times the
applicable daily Gas Daily Mid Point price posting for Tennessee
Zone Zero for the Day on which the deviation occurred, multiplied
by the quantity by which the Customer deviated from the
requirements of the OFO.
Any penalty revenue collected by TRES PALACIOS pursuant to this
Section 5.5(i) shall be credited to those firm and Interruptible
Customers that did not incur Action Alert or OFO penalties
pursuant to this Section 5.5(i) in the Month for which Action
Alert or OFO penalty revenues were received ("Non-Offending
Customers"), based on the ratio of the total charges paid during
that Month by the Non-Offending Customer to the sum of the total
charges paid during that Month by all Non-Offending Customers.
Such credits shall be calculated for each Month of the twelve (12)
Month period ending July 31 of each year, and will be included on
the Non-Offending Customer's invoice for the Month following the
date of the final Commission order approving TRES PALACIOS'
penalty disbursement report; provided, however, that TRES PALACIOS
will calculate and include such credits on Non-Offending
Customer's invoices for a period shorter than twelve Months in the
event and to the extent that the total accumulated amount of
Action Alert or OFO penalty revenue collected pursuant to this
Section 5.5(i) by TRES PALACIOS as of the end of any Month exceeds
$1,000,000. TRES PALACIOS will file with the Commission a penalty
disbursement report within sixty days of July 31 or sixty days
after the end of the Month for which revenue collected exceeds
$1,000,000. Any penalty revenue credited to Non-Offending
Customers pursuant to this Section shall include interest
calculated in accordance with Section 154.501(d) of the
Commission's regulations.
