GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS

11. BALANCING (continued)
11.3 Imbalance Management Services. The Imbalance Management Services
offered by Pipeline are identified in Section 1 of the GT&C.
Details of each service are included in the applicable Rate Schedule
and Form of Service Agreement contained in this Tariff, or in
Section 11.4 below.
11.4 Imbalance Trading. Imbalance Trading is available for any
imbalance that would otherwise be resolved pursuant to Sections
11.5 and 11.6 below. Pipeline shall allow Cash-out Parties to
trade imbalances within the same Operational Impact Area, as
defined in Section 1 of the GT&C, if the two Cash-out Parties'
imbalances are offsetting balances for the Month, such that the
net imbalance for each Cash-out Party after the completion of the
trade would be reduced to a quantity closer to zero. A Cash-out
Party may trade any imbalance with another Cash-out Party,
provided that any trades involving OBA imbalances shall not
result in a transportation path which crosses a Posted Point of
Restriction, as defined in Section 1 of the GT&C; provided
further that to the extent the imbalances were incurred during
the remainder of the Month when no Posted Point of Restriction
was in effect, those imbalances are available for trading. An OBA
Party that trades an imbalance resulting from actual deliveries
by Pipeline in excess of scheduled deliveries (due Pipeline)
shall be assessed a transportation imbalance charge. An OBA
Party that trades an imbalance resulting from actual deliveries
by Pipeline that are less than scheduled deliveries (due OBA
Party) shall be assessed a transportation imbalance credit. The
transportation imbalance charge and transportation imbalance
credit shall be calculated by multiplying the traded quantity by
the actual weighted average Usage Charge owed on all quantities
of Gas delivered during the Month to that OBA Party.
