FORM OF OPERATIONAL BALANCING AGREEMENT
(continued)
2. The Parties intend that the quantity of gas actually
delivered and received each Day at the Location will equal the
Scheduled Quantities for the Location. Each Party will allocate
quantities which have been delivered and received at the Location
among the Service Requester Agreements on its system pursuant to
the Scheduled Quantities at such locations. Any imbalance created
when the actual physical flow is different from the Scheduled
Quantities will be the "Operational Imbalance," which will be the
responsibility of the Parties to eliminate pursuant to this
Agreement. The Daily Operational Imbalance on any Day shall not
exceed 10% of the Scheduled Quantities for such Day, and shall not
exceed a cumulative volume of _______ Dth, unless otherwise
mutually agreed to by both Parties. The terms "Day" and "Daily,"
as used in this Agreement, refer to a "Gas Day" as defined by the
Wholesale Gas Quadrant of the North American Energy Standards
Board ("NAESB"). When used to refer to gas flows, the term
"month" shall refer to the period of time beginning at the start
of the Gas Day that starts on the first day of a calendar month
and ending at the start of the Gas Day that starts on the first
day of the next calendar month.
3. Estimated operating quantities flowing at the Location
shall be used on a Daily basis during any current Day to determine
the estimated Operational Imbalance at the Location, with physical
flow adjustments to be made during that current Day as mutually
agreed to by both Parties to attempt to maintain or achieve an
Operational Imbalance of zero at the Location; provided, however,
the Parties agree that Scheduled Quantities will be received and
delivered at as nearly as possible to a uniform hourly rate of
flow or other hourly rate mutually agreeable by the Parties.
Neither Party shall have any obligation to alter its pipeline
pressures, provide compression, or modify its pipeline operations
to eliminate any Operational Imbalance. Either Party, in its sole
discretion, may adjust nominations at the Location in the event of
non-performance by the other Party.
4. (a) The actual measured quantity of gas at the Location
each month shall be determined and communicated by the measuring
party ("Measuring Party"), which shall be _________, by facsimile,
electronic interface system or in writing to the other Party in
accordance with NAESB Standard 2.3.7. The actual measured
quantity shall be determined pursuant to the applicable provisions
of the Measuring Party's Tariff or applicable measurement
procedures.
(b) For the previous month's activity, within
three (3) business days following the end of such month, the
Parties shall reconcile and confirm in writing the scheduled
volumes for Service Requesters for whom the Parties delivered or
received gas at the Location. Any changes to such confirmed
nominations shall be effective only if agreed to in writing by
both Parties.
