GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS (Continued)
A Shipper receiving service under Rate Schedules IT, AOT or FT-A shall not lose its
priority for purposes of this Section 4 by the renewal or extension of the term of that
service; provided, however, any renewal or extension must be pursuant to a rollover or
evergreen provision of the Transportation Agreement.
5. Allocation of Limited Capacity: If, on any day, Transporter determines that the
capacity of its system, or any portion thereof including the point(s) at which gas is
tendered for transportation is insufficient to serve all transportation requirements
which are otherwise scheduled to receive service on such day, then Transporter shall
first curtail interruptible services, and thereafter shall curtail firm services. For
purposes of curtailing interruptible services, Transporter shall first interrupt those
Shippers paying the lowest transportation rate, and then those paying the next lowest
rate, and so on until the necessary level of interruption is achieved. Curtailment of
interruptible services paying the same transportation rate shall be in accordance with
the priority established in Section 4(d), (e) and (f) above. If it is necessary to
curtail firm services, Transporter shall interrupt firm transportation services pro rata
based on the maximum daily quantity of the affected Shippers; provided however, that
services utilizing a Secondary Receipt Point or a Secondary Delivery Point shall be
curtailed prior to services utilizing a Primary Receipt Point and a Primary Delivery
Point. If Transporter determines at any time that the capacity of its system or any
portion thereof, including the point(s) at which gas is tendered for transportation, is
sufficient to serve transportation requirements for which nominations have been received
in accordance with Section 3 but which have not been scheduled to receive service on
that day, Transporter may notify affected Shippers and may allocate available capacity
to such requirements in accordance with Section 4 on the basis of requested nominations
which are confirmed by such Shippers by telephone or by other means of communication
within one hour of the time that such notice is provided; provided, however, that
capacity shall be allocated solely on the basis of nominations for the month in which
such capacity becomes available and not on the basis of nominations for prior months.
No Shipper receiving interruptible transportation service may be curtailed during a
month due to a capacity limitation which is the result of a change in interruptible
transportation service for other interruptible transportation Shippers; provided,
however, that interruptible transportation service may be curtailed due to a change in
interruptible service for other Shippers where the change is due to (i) the correction
of a previously existing condition of the nature set forth in Article X of these General
Terms and Conditions, (ii) the correction of a previous scheduling error by Transporter
or (iii) a request for service by a Shipper receiving service under Rate Schedule AOT.
