4. STORAGE FIELD LOSSES
In the event of a loss of gas from one or more storage fields utilized
by Transporter resulting from force majeure, such loss shall be
allocated among Transporter and each Shipper receiving service in
proportion to the quantities of gas (excluding base gas) of each in
storage immediately prior thereto as reasonably determined by
Transporter, and if such extraordinary loss exceeds the top gas
balances of Transporter and all such Shippers, such excess will be
deemed to be from Transporter's base gas. Losses of gas from storage
fields utilized by Transporter that are not losses resulting from force
majeure, as defined below, will be deemed to be gas from Transporter's
base gas. For purposes of this Section 4, a loss of gas resulting from
force majeure is a loss caused by any acts of God, strikes, lockouts,
acts of the public enemy, wars, blockades, insurrections, riots,
epidemics, landslides, lightning, earthquakes, fires, storms, floods,
washouts, arrests and restraints of rules and peoples, civil
disturbances, explosions, breakage or accident to machinery or line of
pipe, line freeze-ups, or similar causes.
Shipper is placed on notice that Transporter may recognize storage gas
losses for rate and accounting purposes. Such losses shall be valued
at the current replacement cost of gas. After accounting recognition
of any such loss, Transporter shall record and maintain a regulatory
asset account which shall be maintained until Transporter's next
general rate change filing under Section 4 of the Natural Gas Act.
