GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
(Continued)
14. DETERMINATION OF DELIVERIES AND IMBALANCES (Continued)
14.6 Penalty Revenue Crediting. One hundred percent (100%) of all
penalty revenues received by Transporter during any applicable month
will be credited to firm and interruptible transportation customers. Such
credits will be allocated to all firm and interruptible transportation
customers (collectively, the "Specified Customers"), except
each penalty revenue credit applicable to unauthorized overrun or
underrun penalties shall be allocated only to those Specified Customers
who were not assessed an unauthorized overrun or underrun penalty within
the month for which such penalty revenues are to be credited. The
penalty revenue credits will be allocated to the Specified Customers pro
rata in proportion to reservation revenue (total revenue, net of credits
from capacity releases as described in Section 20 of the General Terms and
Conditions, less volumetric charges and all surcharges) received by
Transporter from each and all of the Specified Customers for each
applicable month. Such penalty revenue credits shall be reflected as a
credit billing adjustment to each March billing for credits accrued during
the prior calendar year. In the event that such credit billing adjustments
would result in a credit total invoice to any Specified Customer,
Transporter will refund the credit billing adjustment to the Specified
Customer by check within 30 days after determination of the amount of the
credit due to the Specified Customer.
14.7 Shipper Imbalances. At the time Transporter notifies Shippers of
daily confirmations, Transporter will also notify Shippers of any
imbalance resulting from the differences between upstream and downstream
confirmations when either the upstream confirmation and/or downstream
confirmation is for a nomination with an interconnecting pipeline
("Shipper Imbalances").
If a Shipper's cumulative monthly Shipper Imbalance is more than
500 Dth or 2 percent, above or below total confirmed nominations for
the month, whichever is greater, the Shipper will have exceeded allowed
tolerances. A Shipper will then have 15 non-entitlement days from
the date of Transporter's invoice showing a Shipper Imbalance in excess
of allowed tolerances to eliminate such excess imbalance; otherwise,
Shipper will be subject to a Shipper Imbalance penalty as described in
Section 14.10. This Shipper Imbalance penalty shall only be applied when
Transporter's system integrity is imperiled and Shipper has been given
notice of such system imperilment. The 15-day period will be extended
proportionately if, and to the extent that, Shipper's failure to eliminate
its excess imbalance is caused by Transporter's inability, due to
operating or
