4.3 Transporter and Shipper may, from time to time and by mutual
agreement, add, change, or delete Primary Receipt Point(s) or
Primary Delivery Point(s) as designated in Exhibit A to the Firm
Transportation Agreement. Except as otherwise agreed to by
Transporter and Shipper in a Firm Transportation Agreement:
(a) Transporter shall, subject to section 1.7, agree to a change
in Primary Receipt Point(s) or Primary Delivery Point(s)
where the new point(s) is/are within the same directional
transportation path and the same rate zone as the existing
Primary Receipt and Delivery Points, provided mainline firm
capacity is available and firm capacity is available at the
requested point(s), and subject to prior-in-time pending
requests for firm service at the requested points. Where the
requested Primary Receipt Point(s) or Primary Delivery
Point(s) are not within the same directional transportation
path and the same rate zone as the existing Primary Receipt
and Delivery points, Transporter shall agree to a change
subject to the availability of mainline firm capacity and
firm capacity at the requested points, subject to prior-in-
time pending requests for firm service at the requested
points, and to the extent Transporter and Shipper agree on
an appropriate rate for such service.
(b) Changes allowed to Primary Receipt Point(s) or Primary
Delivery Point(s) will not increase or decrease Shipper's
Contracted Capacity. Once a change in Primary Receipt
Point(s) or Primary Delivery Point(s) has been authorized by
Transporter, Shipper's rights at specific Primary Receipt
Point(s) or Primary Delivery Point(s) will be adjusted to
reflect the authorized change.
(c) Transporter shall not accept any requested change in Primary
Receipt or Delivery Point(s) if to do so would reduce the
reservation charges due under Shipper's Firm Transportation
Agreement, or, in Transporter's sole judgment, it would
impair Transporter's ability to satisfy existing firm
obligations.
(d) To request a change in the Primary Receipt Point(s) and/or
the Primary Delivery Point(s), Shipper must provide
Transporter with two (2) Business Days prior notice in the
form of a written request accompanied by an amended
Exhibit A to Shipper's Firm Transportation Agreement.
Transporter will provide Shipper with written notice within
one (1) Business Day after receipt whether the requested
change has been accepted, in whole or in part. All such
changes, once accepted by Transporter, shall be effective on
the later of the next Gas Day after acceptance by
Transporter of the amended Exhibit A or the Gas Day
requested by Shipper.
5. SEGMENTATION
5.1 A Shipper may segment its Contracted Capacity, either on a forward
haul or backhaul basis, whether for Shipper's own use or through a
capacity release, provided that service using any segmented
Receipt and Delivery Point(s) (i) does not exceed Shipper's
Contracted Capacity on a forward haul basis, (ii) the segmentation
nomination(s) is operationally feasible, (iii) there is sufficient
forward haul flow to permit a requested segmented backhaul, and
(iv) segmented service otherwise complies with Transporter's
Tariff, including the use and availability of alternate points
pursuant to sections 4.1 and 4.2. Where a Shipper has Contracted
Capacity rights in only one Rate Zone, Shipper may segment such
capacity only within that Rate Zone.
