GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
14. ALLOCATION AND IMBALANCES (Cont'd.)
The Negative Imbalance Cash-Out Price is a price per
Dth which is applied to the amount of the Shipper's
negative imbalance. Shipper's regular invoice for
transportation services will include the money owed by
Shipper under this Negative Imbalance Cash-Out, which
will be subject to all payment and collection
requirements applicable to that bill. Any money which
Shipper has paid as a Transportation Balancing Fee for
activity under a given contract during a given month
shall be credited against (but shall not reduce below
zero) Shipper's obligation to pay a Negative Imbalance
Cash-Out Price on that contract for that same month.
Upon receipt of payment, Transporter will make gas
accounting entries reducing the amount of Shipper's
negative imbalance accordingly.
Transporter shall post the Negative Imbalance Cash-Out
Price for each month on its Electronic Bulletin Board.
The applicable Negative Imbalance Cash-Out Price will
be equal to the highest monthly Negative Imbalance
Cash-Out Price for any one of the three months
immediately following the activity month. The Negative
Imbalance Cash-Out Price is based upon the approximate
cost for southwest spot gas plus the cost of
transportation to National's system, and will be
calculated as follows:
NICOP = Negative Imbalance Cash-Out Price
NICOP = 2 x (SWI + WAT)
SWI = Southwest Index, which is the arithmetic average of
all spot gas index prices per Dth reflective of the
first day of the month quoted by: (i) Natural Gas
Intelligence "Spot Gas Prices", "Delivered to
Pipelines", "30-Day Supply Transactions", and (ii)
Inside FERC "Gas Market Report", for deliveries of
gas produced in Texas and Louisiana into the system
of Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company ("TGP"), Texas
Eastern Transmission Corporation ("TETCO") or
Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line Corporation
("Transco").
