GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS

4.2 Capacity Curtailment and Interruption Procedures for Storage and Transportation
Services
(A) Pipeline shall have the right to curtail, interrupt or discontinue service in
whole or in part on all or a portion of its system from time to time and at any
time (1) for reasons of force majeure or when necessary, in Pipeline's
reasonable judgment, to meet its system operating requirements or other higher
priority service obligations, (2) to perform routine maintenance, repairs, and
regulatory compliance activity as provided in Section 17 of the General Terms
and Conditions or (3) to the extent, in Pipeline's reasonable judgment,
interruptible service would impair Pipeline's ability to meet its firm service
obligations, or to render any future service that may be provided by Pipeline on
a firm basis. Pipeline will provide Customer reasonable notice of such
curtailment or interruption orders and Customer shall be permitted three (3)
hours, or such lesser time as is required to protect the integrity of Pipeline's
system, to reduce its tenders or takes in compliance with the curtailment or
interruption orders. If Customer adjusts its tenders or takes within such
notice period, then no charge or penalty provided for in this Section 4.2 shall
be assessed.
(B) In the event any services are curtailed or interrupted hereunder, Pipeline shall
reduce scheduled service, to zero if necessary, in the following order:
(1) scheduled service under Pipeline's PAL rate schedule based on net present
value, with the transaction yielding the highest net present value
receiving priority over transactions yielding a lower net present value.
Net present value shall be calculated on the basis of the present value of
the daily PAL charge per Dth to Pipeline for the term of the transaction
as specified in Exhibit A of the PAL Service Agreement. PAL transactions
yielding the same net present value shall be scheduled pro rata based on
scheduled quantities. In making the determination of net present value,
Pipeline shall apply the rate, as of the date of the review, stated in
accordance with Section 154.501(d) of the Commission's regulations, to all
bids;
(2) scheduled service under Pipeline's other interruptible rate schedules
commencing with service to be charged at the minimum rate of Pipeline then
in effect;
