GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
must be specifically designated for that purpose. Southern Trails will
consider each Shipper's request to exercise its option under this section and
will, on a nondiscriminatory basis, and subject to prudent operational
practices, honor the request.
15.6 Cash Out. All remaining imbalances that exceed the imbalance
tolerance at the end of the month will be subject to the following cashout
provisions. However, if Shipper cannot cure an imbalance due to force
majeure, Southern Trails will extend the time period for the Shipper to pay
back an imbalance for a period equal to the length of the force majeure event.
(a) Cashout volumes are those volumes that exceed the ±2.5%
imbalance tolerance at the end of the month following the month the imbalance
occurred less any imbalance trades and specific payback volumes. The cashout
process will reduce the Shippers imbalance to be within the imbalance
tolerance upon payment or credit of the cashout amount.
(b) Shippers' imbalance that exceeds the imbalance tolerance
shall be cashed out at a price calculated by multiplying the portion that
exceeds the imbalance tolerance by the applicable rates as determined in the
subsection below.
(c) Southern Trails will use the "Inside FERC Gas Market Report"
first-of-the-month posting for the San Juan Basin delivered into El Paso
Natural Gas Company published for the first of the month following final
determination of the cashout volume to set an index price. If "Inside FERC
Gas Market Report" ceases publication or to the extent prices are not
reported, Southern Trails will select a similar index or publication and
notify Shippers of the selection via Questline. The cashout price will be the
index price multiplied by a premium factor for volumes due Southern Trails or
a discount factor for volumes due Shipper. The premium or discount factor
will be according to the tiered schedule below:
Imbalance Level Due Southern Trails Due Shipper
Greater than 2.5% up to 5% Index * 1.20 Index * 0.80
Greater than 5% up to 7% Index * 1.30 Index * 0.70
Greater than 7% up to 10% Index * 1.40 Index * 0.60
Greater than 10% up to 15% Index * 1.60 Index * 0.40
