If Transporter experiences a supply short fall due to the under delivery of supplies to

Transporter's mainline, then (a) if the deficient source is known, Transporter will

curtail the corresponding firm or interruptible transportation market; or (b) if the

deficient sources are undeterminable, then Transporter will localize the smallest

provided that verifiable receipt point volumes will not be subject to a supply short

fall curtailment.

7.1 Shipper Duty to Control Imbalances - A Shipper receiving any transportation service

from Transporter will use, or will cause any party receiving or delivering

Shipper's gas to use, all reasonable efforts to ensure that receipts and deliveries

of gas are equal to the nominations confirmed by Transporter. Shipper shall also

be responsible to control, and if necessary, adjust receipts and deliveries of gas

to maintain a balance between such receipts, deliveries and confirmed nominations.

monthly balancing provisions contained in Rate Schedule LMS of Transporter's FERC

Gas Tariff.

7.2 Outstanding Imbalances - Shippers shall remain responsible for imbalances accrued

under their agreements before the effective date of the tariff revisions in Docket

assess a charge equal to two times the Index Price as determined in accordance with

the procedures established in Section 5(b) of Rate Schedule LMS. Transporter shall

have the right to retain unauthorized deliveries at Receipt Point(s) which have not

been cured in accordance with above after 30 days notice to the responsible party.
