RATE SCHEDULE S-PALS
7. QUANTITY
Each S-PALS RO shall specify in Dth the MAQ RO and a daily schedule of
the quantities (including the MDQ RO) to be parked and/or loaned under
the specific transaction. The daily schedule of returned volumes by
the Shipper or Transporter shall also be specified in the S-PALS RO.
The quantities may be specified as a range of volumes (maximum and
minimum aggregate and daily quantities and the related time periods) to
be parked and/or loaned and returned, and the schedule may include the
flexibility to do either a park or a loan within specified volume and
time limits. The schedule may provide for flexibility in total volumes
and in the daily volumes parked and/or loaned, in the timing of the
park or the loan (or any portion thereof), in the duration of the park
and/or loan (or portion thereof), and/or in the timing of the
completion of the park or loan (or portion thereof) by the return of
gas to the Shipper or to Transporter, and shall specify the limits of
the flexibility allowed. Subject to the flexibility specified in the
S-PALS RO, the MDQ RO shall be the maximum quantity Transporter is
obligated, on an interruptible basis, to receive from or deliver to
Shipper hereunder on the specified day. The MAQ RO shall be the
maximum aggregate quantity Transporter is obligated to hold or loan for
the account of Shipper hereunder on an interruptible basis for the
specific transaction covered by the S-PALS RO. The minimum aggregate
and daily volumes to be parked and/or loaned and returned on an
interruptible basis shall also be specified in the S-PALS RO schedule.
The sum total of a Shipper's MAQ ROs and MDQ ROs shall not exceed the
MAQ and MDQ specified in the S-PALS Agreement. If a Shipper exceeds
the timing parameter in the applicable S-PALS RO (unless such failure
is due to Transporter not confirming a nomination properly submitted),
it shall be subject to overrun charges consistent with Section 6.2 of
this Rate Schedule.
8. MANDATORY BALANCING
8.1 Mandatory Balancing shall apply in the following instances: (a)
at the end of the term specified in any applicable S-PALS
Agreement or S-PALS RO; (b) where the Shipper fails to comply
either with the requirements of Transporter's notice referenced
in Sections 3 and 8.3(b) hereof; or (c) where Shipper fails to
comply with the schedule of activities set forth in the
applicable S-PALS RO and the deviation has not been agreed to and
confirmed by Transporter.
