-------------------
8. INSUFFICIENT SUPPLY PENALTY
(a) If Natural becomes aware that an Insufficient Supply
Situation exists under which Shipper's supply at the Receipt Points
applicable to Shipper's FTS-G Agreement is less than the volume of
gas Shipper is taking at the Delivery Points applicable to
Shipper's FTS-G Agreement, Natural shall promptly notify Shipper of
such situation and inform Shipper that it may be subject to the
Insufficient Supply Penalty if corrective action is not taken. Such
notification will be given when Natural becomes aware that an
Insufficient Supply Situation exists or will exist because it: (a)
is unable to confirm Shipper's nominations, or (b) otherwise
becomes aware (i) that gas is not being delivered to Natural for
Shipper's account or (ii) that Shipper is taking more gas at its
Delivery Point(s) than has been nominated. Natural shall make such
notification by telephone, telefax, or any other method mutually
agreeable to Natural and Shipper. Such corrective action would be
either a reduction in takes by Shipper at the Delivery Point(s) or
an increase in gas tendered to Natural at the Receipt Point(s)
available under the FTS-G Agreement.
(b) If Shipper fails to correct the Insufficient Supply
Situation by the end of the next day after notice by Natural,
Natural shall assess Shipper and Shipper shall pay Natural an
Insufficient Supply Penalty for all gas taken thereafter in excess
of the volumes received during the period of the temporary loss,
interruption and/or shortage of supply at Shipper's Receipt
Point(s). The Insufficient Supply Penalty shall be a unit rate
multiplied by the discrepancy in volumes experienced during the
Insufficient Supply Situation. The unit rate shall equal the sum of
(1) the highest gas price actually assessed by Natural that month
under the cashout provision of the General Terms and Conditions of
this Tariff, plus (2) $15 per Dth during a Critical Time or $5.00
per Dth at any other time. In addition, volumes taken shall be
subject to all other charges applicable under this Rate Schedule
FTS-G; provided that the same volumes taken shall not be subject to
the other Balancing Service Charges and penalties under Rate
Schedule FTS nor shall such volumes be considered when determining
the monthly imbalance. There shall be a zero (0) tolerance level
and no correction period in determining volumes subject to the
Insufficient Supply Penalty.
(c) The notice requirement for changes in nominations shall
be waived when revised nominations are required to rectify the
Insufficient Supply Situation.
