GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
----------------------------
(c) (1) If nominations under interruptible Agreements on
any day exceed Trailblazer's available capacity on that day to provide
such services, Trailblazer shall, to the extent possible given the
priorities imposed by upstream or downstream transporters, allocate
available capacity as set out in this subsection (b) among Shippers which
have executed interruptible Agreements.
(i) Trailblazer shall schedule interruptible
services (including authorized overrun) based on the rate to be paid,
from highest to lowest daily rate, with service for which the highest
daily rate being paid is scheduled first. Any Shipper paying the maximum
rate applicable to its service (or revenue equal to or greater than the
applicable maximum rate pursuant to a Negotiated Rate or Negotiated Rate
Formula) shall be afforded highest priority even if a Shipper which has
agreed to a Negotiated Rate or Negotiated Rate Formula is paying a higher
unit rate.
(ii) In the event there is insufficient
capacity to schedule all interruptible services for which the same rate
is to be paid, Trailblazer shall allocate the available capacity pro rata
based on the confirmed nomination volume.
(2) Notwithstanding Section 6.5(b)(1) hereof,
Trailblazer reserves the right, after a one (1) day notice, to interrupt
service to any interruptible Shipper paying a discount rate to enable
Trailblazer to provide service to another Shipper if such service would
result in a higher unit rate; provided, however, that Trailblazer will
not interrupt service to a Shipper paying the applicable maximum rate (or
revenue equal to or greater than the applicable maximum rate pursuant to
a Negotiated Rate or Negotiated Rate Formula) even if a Shipper which has
agreed to a Negotiated Rate or a rate under a Negotiated Rate Formula
would pay a higher unit rate. Within such one (1) day period, Shipper
shall be allowed to increase its rate by any amount up to the applicable
maximum rate specified in this Tariff. A Shipper agreeing to increase its
rate hereunder shall be entitled to any higher priority associated with
such higher rate; provided, however, that any Shipper paying the maximum
rate applicable to its service (or revenue equal to or greater than the
applicable maximum rate pursuant to a Negotiated Rate or Negotiated Rate
Formula) shall be afforded highest priority even if a Shipper which has
agreed to a Negotiated Rate or Negotiated Rate Formula is paying a higher
unit rate. Among Shippers paying less than the applicable maximum rate,
priority shall be determined based on rate level. Among Shippers agreeing
to pay the same rate as of the termination of the one (1) day notice
period, the priorities set out in Section 6.5(b)(1) shall apply. No
Shipper may obtain a higher priority during any period of interruption to
which a notice relates by agreeing to an increased rate after the end of
the one (1) day notification period.
