7. PRIORITY OF SERVICE AND CURTAILMENT
1. Transporter shall have the right to not schedule part or all of a
requested transportation, and/or curtail or to discontinue
services, in whole or in part, on all or a portion of its system
at any time for reasons of Force Majeure or when, in Transporter's
sole discretion, capacity or operating conditions so require.
Transporter shall provide Shipper such notice of such curtailment
as is reasonable under the circumstances. Routine repair and
maintenance is not deemed an emergency situation or an unexpected
loss of capacity and will be scheduled by Transporter in a manner
to avoid, wherever possible, the disruption of confirmed service.
2. If due to any cause whatsoever Transporter is unable to deliver
the quantities of Gas which Shipper has nominated pursuant to
section 5 and Transporter has scheduled pursuant to section 6, and
which Shippers would have received if such disability did not
exist, then Transporter shall order curtailment by all Shippers
affected in the following manner to the extent necessary to remove
the effect of the disability. In effecting a curtailment,
Transporter may, at its discretion, allow lower priority Gas to
remain flowing in any instance where that would result in a lesser
impact on the curtailment of higher priority Gas than would
otherwise occur. In all other instances, curtailment shall be:
(a) first, Shippers whose service was scheduled pursuant to
section 6.1(c). Transporter will curtail by price from
lowest to highest, except curtailment will be pro rata on
scheduled quantities among Shippers paying the same rate,
and recognizing that Shippers paying the maximum rate will
be curtailed last; and
(b) second, Shippers whose service was scheduled pursuant to
sections 6.1(a) and 6.1(b). Transporter will curtail on a
pro rata basis on scheduled quantities among all other
similarly situated Shippers.
3. If the need for curtailment is caused by an event affecting only a
specific Receipt/Delivery Point, curtailment will be (i) limited
to Shippers scheduled at such Receipt/Delivery Point; and (ii)
applied to those Shippers in accordance with the priorities set
forth in section 7.2 above, except that Shippers for which such
Point is a Primary Point will have priority over Shippers for
which such Point is an Alternate Point.
