GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS

11. BALANCING (continued)
(c) Index Price. The Index Price for purposes of resolving imbalances
shall be determined by calculating the arithmetical average of
Platts Gas Daily "Daily Price Survey" Midpoint prices for "Dracut,
Mass." as such prices are posted for the applicable Month less the
100% load factor Rate Schedule MN365 maximum recourse rate and less
the average monthly fuel cost. The average monthly fuel cost shall
be calculated by multiplying (1) the monthly average of Platts Gas
Daily "Daily Price Survey" Midpoint price for "Dracut, Mass." as
such prices are posted for the applicable Month less the 100% load
factor Rate Schedule MN365 maximum recourse rate in effect during
such Month by (2) the applicable monthly Fuel Retainage Percentage
listed on the Statement of Fuel Retainage Percentages. In the event
that this index price is no longer available, Pipeline will file to
change its Tariff and may, at its discretion, select an appropriate
price for the interim period, subject to refund.
11.7 Credit. On a monthly basis Pipeline shall credit or debit, as
appropriate, the Fuel Retainage Quantity Deferred Account as provided
in Section 20.4 herein, the net proceeds from the operation of the
imbalance resolution procedures contained in this Section 11.
11.7A Disposition of Excess Quantities. If Pipeline desires to auction at any
time the net excess quantities purchased under Section 11.6 of the GT&C,
the net quantities available to Pipeline as a result of over-realization of
in-kind compensation pursuant to Section 20 of the GT&C, or the Quantity of
Gas retained under Sections 8.6 and 10 of Rate Schedule MNPAL, Pipeline
shall post a notice of such auction on the LINK® System at least three (3)
Business Days prior to the date on which bids will be accepted. Such
notice shall specify the quantity of gas to be auctioned, the date on which
the bids will be accepted, and the evaluation method that will be used to
determine the highest bid. Pipeline shall accept bids only during the time
period from 7:00 a.m. until 11:00 a.m. CT on the Business Day that bids are
due. Prior to 4:00 p.m. CT of the same day, Pipeline shall notify the
Customer submitting the highest bid; provided, however, Pipeline reserves
the right to reject any and all bids. When the gas is purchased at
auction, Customer must provide identification of the existing
transportation service agreement with Pipeline under which Customer shall
nominate, transport and deliver all gas. Unless otherwise specified in the
auction notice, Customer shall nominate, transport, and deliver all gas by
the end of the Month following the Month in which the gas is purchased.
Customer shall pay the applicable transportation charges for the quantity
of gas delivered. The transaction shall be subject to the imbalance
resolution procedures set forth in this Section 11 and all other applicable
terms and conditions contained in Pipeline's FERC Gas Tariff prospectively
from the date of Customer's purchase pursuant to this Section 11.7A, at the
Point(s) of Delivery. All auction proceeds shall be handled in accordance
