GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
(continued)
11. BALANCING (continued)
Pipeline will provide the ability to post and trade imbalances at any
time during the gas flow Month, and until the seventeenth Business Day
after the end of the Month during which the imbalances occurred. To
facilitate the trading process, Pipeline will, upon receipt of Cash-
out Party's authorization, post a Cash-out Party's imbalance quantity
on its Web site. Authorizations to Post Imbalances that are received
by Pipeline by 11:45 a.m. will be effective by 8:00 a.m. the next
Business Day (CT). An Authorization to Post Imbalances will remain in
effect until cancelled by the Cash-out Party. Imbalances previously
authorized for posting will be posted as they become available, but no
later than the ninth Business Day of the Month; however, Pipeline will
not be required to post zero imbalances. The information posted will
also identify the Cash-out Party, the contract, the Operational Impact
Area and the gas flow Month applicable to the posted imbalance
quantity. For purposes of determining the imbalance quantity that
will be posted, all imbalances within an Operational Impact Area due
Cash-out Party under all of Cash-out Party's contracts and all
imbalances in that Operational Impact Area due Pipeline under all of
Cash-out Party's contracts shall be summed together to yield a single
net imbalance quantity for the Cash-out Party in that Operational
Impact Area for the Month, unless otherwise agreed to pursuant to
Section 11.5 below. Pipeline will provide to all Customers the
ability to view, and upon request, download posted imbalance
information.
Pipeline shall enable the imbalance trading process by (i) receiving
the Request for Imbalance Trade, (ii) receiving the Imbalance Trade
Confirmation, (iii) sending the Imbalance Trade Notification to all
affected parties, and (iv) reflecting the trade prior to or on the
next monthly Customer Imbalance or cashout. When trading imbalances,
the quantity to be traded must be specified. After receipt of an
Imbalance Trade Confirmation, Pipeline will send the Imbalance Trade
Notification to the initiating trader and the confirming trader no
later than noon (CT) on the next Business Day. Imbalance trades can
only be withdrawn by the initiating trader and only prior to the
confirming trader's confirmation of the trade. Imbalance trades are
considered final when confirmed by the confirming trader and
effectuated by Pipeline. Pipeline shall update the Cash-out Party's
imbalance data to reflect any final trades of imbalance quantities no
later than 9:00 a.m. CT on the next Business Day after the trade is
finalized.
