FORM OF OPERATIONAL BALANCING AGREEMENT
(continued)
(a) The reference spot price ("Reference Spot
Price") for each month shall be the monthly average spot price,
expressed in units of $/Dth for gas delivered to
___________________ as published for such month in Platts Gas
Daily (published by Platts, a division of the McGraw-Hill
Companies). In the event that Gas Daily is no longer published,
the successor McGraw-Hill publication shall be utilized. In the
event that McGraw-Hill no longer publishes such spot price index
or in the event that either Party reasonably believes that the
McGraw Hill index is no longer reasonably representative of spot
prices at the Location, SGRM and PIPELINE shall meet and enter
into good faith negotiations toward an agreement as to an
alternative spot price index or alternate pricing mechanism. If
the Parties are unable to negotiate an agreement as to an
alternative price index or pricing mechanism within thirty (30)
days, this Agreement shall terminate and any remaining Operational
Imbalance shall be cashed out at the last available Reference Spot
Price.
(b) Billing and payment of the cash-out amounts
shall be as follows: (i) Measuring Party shall, within twenty-
five (25) calendar days from the end of each month, render a
statement, in the form of an invoice or payment statement, for any
cash-out payments owed by either SGRM or PIPELINE for balances
occurring during the preceding month; and (ii) payments under this
provision shall be tendered within ten (10) days from the other
Party's receipt of Measuring Party's statement by wire transfer,
which shall include a reference to the invoice number and which
shall be transmitted to the receiving Party's account as indicated
in Section 14. Prior period adjustments, errors and billing
disputes will be handled in accordance with Section 15 of the
General Terms and Conditions of Measuring Party's FERC Gas Tariff.
(c) Should either Party fail to pay part or all of
the amount of any invoice rendered by Measuring Party when due
pursuant to Section 5(b), interest on any unpaid amounts shall
accrue from the due date of such invoice, until the date of
payment received by the Party that is owed the payment. Such
interest shall accrue at the lower of the effective prime rate
charged by Chase Bank, N.A., plus two percent, or the maximum
allowable interest rate permitted by applicable law, calculated on
a compounded monthly basis. Additionally, if either Party fails
to make payments owed to the other Party, the owed Party, in its
sole discretion, may terminate this Agreement and pursue any and
all remedies available at law.
