FORM OF OPERATIONAL BALANCING AGREEMENT
(continued)
(c) For the purpose of accounting for the previous
month, the difference between the physical flow and the scheduled
quantities at the Location each month will be determined and
communicated by the Measuring Party to the other Party in writing
as an "Operational Imbalance Statement" in such form as may be
mutually agreeable to the Parties, as soon as possible, but in no
case later than the tenth (10th) business day of the month
following the month in question or such other date as may be
mandated by NAESB from time to time. Physical flows shall be
determined pursuant to the applicable provisions of Measuring
Party's then effective FERC Gas Tariff; provided, however, the
Parties may agree to standards more stringent than the Measuring
Party's then effective FERC Gas Tariff. Any Operational Imbalance
for any calendar month shall be agreed to in writing within twenty
(20) calendar days of the end of such month in any format mutually
agreeable to the Parties. The Operational Imbalance shall be
corrected on an in-kind basis within thirty (30) days of the month
in which the imbalance occurred, unless the Parties mutually agree
in writing to carry the imbalance forward or to resolve the
imbalance by "cash out" valued at the Reference Spot Price in
accordance with Section 5 below, provided, however, that
Operational Imbalances of 10,000 Dth or less at the end of any
month shall be carried forward into the next month.
(d) If either Party discovers any errors in the
metered volumes of gas delivered and received at the Location, the
errors shall be corrected in the current calendar month by adding
to the monthly pipeline imbalance statement an adjustment
reflecting a correction of metering errors. The adjustment in
volumes resulting from metering errors shall be cashed out as
provided for in Section 5 below at the price for the month in
which the error occurred, unless otherwise mutually agreed. No
adjustments of meter volumes shall be made after six months
following the month in which they were measured unless there is a
deliberate omission or misrepresentation or mutual mistake of fact
or the Parties otherwise mutually agree. Out of period
corrections shall be made to the month of flow for allocation and
billing purposes. If either Party disputes the adjustment it will
have three months after the adjustment is made to challenge in
writing and rebut the adjustment.
5. In the event the Parties agree to "cash out" rather than
pay back "in-kind" for a particular month, the Party that owes
under the Imbalance Statement shall pay the other Party for such
Operational Imbalance at the Reference Spot Price, as defined
below, in accordance with the following provisions of this Section
5.
