Any physical receipt point located on Pipeline's system ("TTT
Point"), provided that the point is covered by an active Operational
Balancing Agreement, can be utilized for the nomination of TTT service.

adequate corresponding transportation rights under Subject Service
Agreement(s) to transport the quantities away from the TTT Point.
Pipeline shall provide one meter identification number to correspond

exclusively for nominations of transactions related to Title Transfer
Tracking service on Pipeline's system. Pipeline shall post the meter
identification numbers on its Internet Web site.
