RATE SCHEDULE IBS
-----------------
8. OVERRUN SERVICE
Upon request of Shipper, MEP may (but is not obligated to)
provide service hereunder in excess of Shipper's maximum daily access
volume under the IBS Agreement as determined under Section 6(a) hereof
or Shipper's maximum allowed cumulative IBS Balance as determined under
Section 6(e) hereof, in MEP's reasonable judgment, its System
operational capability, other resources such as Third Party Balancing
Agreements, or offsetting Access Requests will permit such balancing
receipt or delivery without impairing the ability of MEP to meet its
firm or other higher priority interruptible obligations, it being
understood that MEP is not providing a supply or storage service under
this Rate Schedule IBS. In granting requests for authorized overruns,
MEP shall act in a manner consistent with the overrun service priorities
set out in the General Terms and Conditions of this Tariff. Except for
authorized overruns as reflected in confirmation of an Access Request,
for which Shipper shall pay the applicable rate set out in the rate
sheets of this Tariff, Shipper shall pay MEP the charges for
unauthorized overrun set out in Section 9.2 of the General Terms and
Conditions of this Tariff if balancing volumes in the direction of swing
specified in the Access Request under an IBS Agreement exceed the
volumes specified in the Access Request or, unless consistent with the
Access Request, exceed the maximum daily access volumes under such IBS
Agreement or the maximum allowed cumulative IBS Balance. MEP may waive
or discount either authorized overrun or unauthorized gas charges on a
basis which is not unduly discriminatory. With respect to authorized
overrun charges associated with exceeding the allowed cumulative IBS
Balance, it will be MEP's general policy to waive such charges if the
charge results from MEP's decision not to accept IBS Payback and if
maintaining the IBS Balance is beneficial to MEP's system.
