GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
----------------------------
Shipper may segment by nomination any portion of the capacity it
retains to the extent operationally feasible and the Replacement
Shipper may segment by nomination any portion of the capacity it
obtains in the release to the extent operationally feasible.
(b) For the purposes of this Section 6.13 and subject
to the other provisions hereof, whether segmentation is through
nomination or results from the release of firm capacity on a
segmented basis, the primary path under an Agreement may be
segmented, and segmentation may extend outside the primary path to
the extent consistent with this Sections 6.13, except for Leased
Capacity, and such segmentation shall be deemed operationally
feasible unless:
(1) the segmentation would result in an increase
in firm contractual obligation by MEP on any segment or portion of
its system (through an overlap of segments); or
(2) the segmentation would result in a forward-
haul in a direction opposite to the primary path of the Agreement
being segmented [backhauls are addressed in (d) below].
(c) In the event a firm capacity path is segmented
under this Section 6.13, each segment shall have access to all
secondary points within either zone on MEP's System provided that any
portion of the primary path segment is within that zone, except for
Pooling Points, access to which is governed by Section 6.12 of these
General Terms and Conditions. Any point which is outside the primary
path for the segment shall be treated as out-of-path secondary in
relation to nominations for that segment. In the case of a segmented
release, if nominations result in an overlapping path, through
nomination at out-of-path secondary points, overrun charges for
volumes in excess of the MDQ under the original Agreement in the area
of overlap shall be applied as follows:
(1) if a Shipper is nominating or flowing within
the primary path under its segment, overrun shall not apply to that
segment so long as such Shipper is within its MDQ on that segment and
any overrun shall be assigned to the segment on which Shipper is
nominating and flowing outside its path; (ii) if a Shipper is
nominating or flowing in excess of its MDQ on a segment under the
segmented release, the Shipper shall be assessed overrun based on the
