RECEIPT POINT
OPERATIONAL BALANCING AGREEMENT (Continued)
accordance with the timelines defined in Section 9 of the General Terms and
Conditions of Transporter's Tariff. In instances of force majeure or
interruption, Transporter shall notify the Controlling Party as soon as
possible after obtaining knowledge of such event. After such notification,
the daily imbalance tolerance on any gas day shall not exceed the greater of
200 dkt or 10% of the total remaining scheduled volumes for such gas day at
the POR. The imposition of the greater of 200 dkt or 10% daily tolerance
shall remain in effect for each consecutive gas day until Transporter notifies
Controlling Party that the event has ended. If the greater of 200 dkt or 10%
daily tolerance is exceeded at such POR on any three consecutive gas days,
upon notification by Transporter of such tolerance being exceeded, the ROBA
will be immediately terminated by Transporter. Transporter will notify the
Controlling Party of such termination by telephone, electronic communication
mechanism or facsimile, with written notification to follow within 24 hours.
Transporter may, in the exercise of its reasonable discretion and on a non-
discriminatory basis, waive the imposition of the greater of 200 dkt or 10%
daily tolerance to overdeliveries at the POR during delivery allocation or
interruption or to underdeliveries at the POR during receipt allocation or
interruption.
5.3 Regardless of the conditions set forth in Sections 5.1 and 5.2
above, either Party may terminate this agreement upon the giving of at least
24 hours notice to the other Party by telephone, electronic communication
mechanism or facsimile. Written notification must follow any such termination
notification within 24 hours.
5.4 If a ROBA is terminated by either Transporter or the Controlling
Party, the Controlling Party cannot request a new ROBA with Transporter until
the 120th day from the date of termination. Transporter may, in the exercise
of its reasonable discretion and on a non-discriminatory basis, waive the 120
day requirement and reduce it to a 30 day requirement. However, Transporter
will be under no obligation to enter into a new ROBA with a Controlling Party
that has been previously terminated and may refuse such request so long as
such refusal is made on a non-discriminatory basis.
5.5 Termination Obligations - Termination of this Agreement shall not
relieve the Parties of the obligation to eliminate any CIQ existing on the
date of termination. The Controlling Party shall have a 30-day correction
period starting from the date of termination of the ROBA in which to resolve
the disposition of any such CIQ. To
