rights and shall be subjected to the obligations of its predecessor in title

XIX. SCHEDULES AND CONTRACTS SUBJECT TO REGULATION
This Tariff, including these General Terms and Conditions and the respective
obligations of the parties under the Gas Transportation Contract(s) are subject to
valid laws, orders, rules and regulations of duly constituted authorities having
jurisdiction and are subject to change from time to time by addition, amendment or
substitution as provided by law.
XX. UNAUTHORIZED MONTHLY OVERDELIVERY AT RECEIPT POINT AND REMEDY
1. If any Shipper should during any month deliver or cause to be delivered to
Transporter at any Receipt Point, under the applicable Rate Schedule and
without Transporter's authorization, a quantity of natural gas which exceeds the
sum of Shipper's Input Quantity scheduled for such Receipt Point for such month,
said quantity shall constitute an unauthorized overdelivery quantity. Within 25
days of the end of the month in which such unauthorized overdelivery quantities
accrued Transporter shall send Shipper notice of such unauthorized
overdelivery quantities.
2. Within thirty-five (35) days of the date of the Transporter's notice to
Shipper that Shipper has tendered or caused to be tendered to Transporter during
a month an unauthorized overdelivery quantity, Shipper shall correct such
unauthorized overdelivery quantity, provided, however, that Transporter may
require that Shipper take corrective action within a shorter period of time if
Transporter, in its reasonable discretion, determines that corrective action
within such shorter period of time is necessary to protect the integrity of
Transporter's system. If Shipper fails to correct such unauthorized
overdelivery quantity within the thirty-five (35) day period, then Shipper shall
pay to Transporter the overdelivery payment prescribed in Section 3 of this
Article XX.
3. In the event the unauthorized overdelivered quantity occurs during a
month when the overdelivery does not adversely affect reliability of service and
does not adversely impair pipeline integrity, the overdelivery payment payable
to Transporter shall be equal to two times the applicable maximum interruptible
transportation rate for the system affected plus Fuel and Use Quantity. In the
event the unauthorized overdelivered quantity occurs at a time when it adversely
affects reliability of service or adversely impairs pipeline integrity, the
overdelivery payment payable to Transporter shall be equal to Two Dollars
($2.00) per Dekatherm times the unauthorized overdelivery quantity during a
month in excess of 1550 Dekatherm or ten percent (10%) of the sum of the Input
Quantity scheduled for the applicable month, whichever is greater. The making
of this payment shall not relieve Shipper of Shipper's obligation to pay demand
charges payable hereunder. Nor shall such payment be considered a substitute for
any other remedies available to Transporter or any other Shipper against the
offending Shipper for failure to respect its obligation to adhere to the
provisions of its contract(s) with Transporter. Shipper shall take delivery of
such unauthorized overdelivery quantity within sixty-five (65) days from the
date of such notice. If Shipper fails to take delivery of such unauthorized
overdelivery quantity within such sixty-five (65) day period, then Shipper shall
incur and pay to Transporter the overdelivery payment prescribed herein for such
period and each additional thirty (30) day period that such gas remains on the
system.
