GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
----------------------------
will implement restrictions for scheduling purposes only, not for
curtailment, and will attempt to schedule such activity during a period
when it will not result in limitation of firm services, or when such
limitation will be minimized, after consulting with the Shippers which
could be affected. If Natural curtails or limits the scheduling of
firm volumes pursuant to this Section 5.2(a) for reasons not caused by
a Shipper, Natural shall waive applicable tariff restrictions and
requirements as to such Shipper (such as seasonal cycling requirements)
to the extent that such a waiver is operationally feasible, but such a
waiver shall only be granted if and to the extent Shipper could not
reasonably be expected to meet such requirements in light of Natural's
actions hereunder.
(b) For Shippers under all firm services, Natural
shall provide notice of any curtailment or of any scheduling
restriction as far in advance as feasible. Natural shall attempt to
provide at least two (2) Days' prior notice, unless more timely action
is necessary to respond to a Force Majeure situation, to balance the
Agreement to the extent consistent with the applicable Rate Schedule,
or to maintain system integrity.
(c) (1) As used in this Section 5.2(c), Firm Daily
Volume shall mean the volume of gas which Natural is obligated to
deliver on a firm basis for Shipper at primary Delivery Point(s) under
a firm contract on a Day, based on nominations for firm service within
firm contract rights at such primary points which could be confirmed
plus any applicable firm no-notice rights Shippers seek to exercise on
that Day within its firm contract rights under that contract. Except as
otherwise provided in this Section 5.2(c) of these General Terms and
Conditions, in the event Natural fails to deliver on any Day under any
firm contract at least 98% of Shipper's Firm Daily Volume for that Day,
then the applicable Reservation Charges and related reservation-based
surcharges shall be eliminated for the quantity of gas not delivered by
Natural within the Shipper's Firm Daily Volume under the contract.
(2) Notwithstanding subsection (1) above, if,
(i) Natural, for any Day, posts on its
interactive website a restriction in firm capacity affecting a segment
within the path between Shipper's Primary Receipt Point(s) and Primary
Delivery Point(s) that includes a minimum percentage of firm MDQ that
will be available to Shipper through the restricted area; and
