GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
----------------------------
volume in excess of its MDQ; and (iii) where the Shipper on each
segment is within its MDQ, but is nominating on a secondary out-of-
path basis so as to create an overlap in nominated paths, and
aggregate nomination by the Releasing and Replacement Shipper in the
area of overlap are in excess of the original contract MDQ, then
except as provided in (i) and (ii), overrun charges will be assessed
to the Releasing Shipper unless the release specifies that such
overrun charges are to be assessed to the Replacement Shipper.
(d) The direction of flow for path segments must be
the same direction of flow as for the original path unless MEP agrees
otherwise or unless such a change in direction of flow is consistent
with the Agreement. A Shipper may segment a backhaul if such
backhaul can be nominated and scheduled on any day on MEP's system.
However, if Shipper desires assurance that it may segment a backhaul
transaction for a longer period (beyond the current Gas Day), such
segmentation shall be subject to review by MEP on a case-by-case
basis as to whether a backhaul on each resulting segment is
operationally feasible. The Shipper (or Replacement Shipper in the
case of a release) may nominate service at Receipt and Delivery
Points for the path segment that results in a reverse flow from the
original path; however, such a nomination will be treated as being
secondary outside of the path. Subject to the availability of point
capacity and to ordinary nomination procedures, deliveries may be
made at the same point for a forward haul on the upstream segment and
a backhaul of the downstream segment and such nominations will not
create a Point overrun so long as nominations in either direction do
not exceed the MDQ. The forward haul will have priority at the Point
if the Point capacity is not adequate. At the point of segmentation,
deliveries may be nominated on the upstream segment up to MDQ and
receipts may be nominated on the downstream segment up to MDQ,
subject to constraints on Point capacity and ordinary scheduling
procedures and priorities.
(e) (1) Subject to the remainder of this subsection
6.13(e), the Releasing and Replacement Shipper involved in a
segmented release may each choose primary Receipt Points and primary
Delivery Points equal to their respective contract MDQs after the
release; provided, however, that the primary Points chosen are not on
the Leased Capacity and that the resulting segments may not overlap
in a way that exceeds the MDQ of the original contract on a segment.
If the points chosen are within the path of the original Agreement
and do not involve changing a primary point thereunder, the point
designations shall be accepted, subject only to the availability of
firm capacity at those points and agreement on the rate applicable at
