GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
----------------------------
(1) Natural shall first schedule all firm
services (including service under an FFTS Agreement at Shipper's MDQ on
an Available Day or at the reduced volume on a partial Available Day)
within MDQ at primary points and at secondary points within a primary
point path where no point constraint exists. To the extent capacity does
not exist to provide for all volumes nominated by Shippers on a firm
basis within MDQ at primary points and at secondary points along any path
defined by primary points where no point constraint exists under all firm
Rate Schedules, plus all firm no-notice rights in excess of such
nominations, available capacity shall be allocated pro rata based on MDQ
(including MDQ under an FFTS Agreement on an Available Day or the reduced
MDQ on a partial Available Day) on any portion of Natural's system
affected by a capacity constraint (capacity allocated to any Agreement
shall be limited to confirmed nominations except to the extent of no-
notice rights available under such Agreement). If Natural cannot
schedule all such nominations or if Natural anticipates that it cannot
accommodate all such nominations plus the firm no-notice rights it
expects may be utilized on that Day, Natural shall limit the scheduling
of such nominations and the exercise of firm no-notice rights for that
Day on a pro rata basis, based on MDQ and shall post such limitations on
the Informational Postings portion of its Interactive Website. Such
posting shall also include the following information: the reason(s) for
the service limitation; the expected duration of the service limitation;
and the actions which Natural is taking to restore firm service. Notice
of a service limitation will be provided through Electronic Notice
Delivery consistent with NAESB Standards as adopted in Section 48 of
these General Terms and Conditions and will be posted on the
Informational Postings portion of Natural's Interactive Website. Where
feasible, Natural will endeavor to provide and post the notice before
4:00 p.m. Central Time or otherwise will endeavor to notify Shippers by
4:00 p.m. Central Time that they should check the Informational Postings
portion of Natural's Interactive Website again at a specified later time
to see whether a service limitation will be in effect for the next Day.
In addition to the posting, Natural must attempt to give actual notice of
a service limitation to affected firm Shippers via telefax or telephone
(provided a Shipper has given the numbers to Natural as required in
Section 23.1 of these General Terms and Conditions). If feasible, such
notice should be given at least four (4) hours prior to the start of the
Day during which a service limitation will be effective as to a Shipper.
(2) Natural shall next schedule firm service at
other secondary points. Where capacity is not sufficient to grant all
such secondary point requests, the secondary point priorities set out in
Section 5.5 shall govern.
