GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
14. ALLOCATION AND IMBALANCES (Cont'd.)
Imbalances of Shippers electing to resolve imbalances in kind, and
imbalances of other Shippers which have not been cashed-out, may
be resolved in one of the following ways:
(a) Shipper Imbalance Exchange. Shippers who agree to all the
terms of Transporter's Imbalance Exchange, and so indicate on
their Imbalance Resolution Methodology Form, will be allowed
to exchange imbalances with other such Shippers on the Shipper
Imbalance Exchange. Transporter will post a participating
Shipper's imbalance information on the Shipper Imbalance
Exchange portion of Transporter's Web Site or, upon receipt of
a written request, will make the information available to a
participant in written form. Transporter will have applicable
information posted by the tenth business day of the month
following the activity month. Shippers desiring to trade
imbalances must present Transporter with a request for
transfer (via E-mail or in writing). A request must be
received by Transporter from all Shippers involved in an
imbalance exchange, either via Transporter's E-mail or
otherwise in writing. No Shipper may accumulate balances for
the purpose of resolving other Shippers' imbalances. For
purposes of determining the applicable Transportation
Balancing Fee under Section 14.8 of these General Terms and
Conditions for the activity month, Imbalance Penalty under
Section 14.8 with respect to certain days within the activity
month, or the quantities subject to cash-out under Section
14.10 thereof, imbalance trades that are evidenced by requests
received by Transporter on or before the end of the calendar
month following the activity month shall be recognized in the
calculation of the Cumulative Monthly Imbalance for the
activity month, and the Daily Shipper Imbalance for any days
within the activity month. In order to avoid the imposition
of an Imbalance Penalty that would otherwise apply pursuant to
Section 14.8 with respect to a Daily Shipper Imbalance,
Shipper must trade its Daily Shipper Imbalance with another
Shipper or other Shippers which in combination have an
offsetting Daily Shipper Imbalance (i.e., positive if the
Shipper's Daily Shipper Imbalance is negative, or negative if
the Shipper's Daily Shipper Imbalance is positive) with
respect to the same day.
(b) Schedule Imbalance Payback/Relief. A Shipper may elect to
schedule full or partial imbalance payback/relief.
