GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
----------------------------
penalty revenues are distributed because all Shippers
failed to comply with Operational Flow Orders that Month, then the
amount of penalty revenue for that Month may be held by MEP for
application under Section 9.3(a) for a period of up to two (2) years,
at which time that amount will be included in the amounts for
distribution in the then current annual period to the extent not
offset by costs under Section 9.3(a). The refunds in the prior
sentence shall be calculated on a Monthly basis but distribution of
the credit shall be annual. If the costs to be netted against
penalty revenue exceed the penalty revenue in any Month, the excess
costs may be carried forward to be applied against penalty revenue in
subsequent Months. Thus, while distribution is made annually, the
net penalty revenue credit shall be calculated on a Monthly basis,
subject to the carry forward of costs as stated in the prior
sentence. A Shipper which incurred Unauthorized Gas Charges or which
failed to comply with an Operational Flow Order shall be excluded
from distribution of net penalty revenues only for the Month in which
that violation occurred.
(2) Where capacity has been released, any
amounts distributed to the Original Shipper and the calculation and
amounts distributed to the Original Shipper shall be based on the MDQ
and flowing volumes of Gas for that Shipper (without considering any
contracts of Replacement Shippers) during the relevant annual period;
provided, however, that in the case of a permanent release, any
amounts distributed hereunder with respect to the released capacity
shall be distributed to the Replacement Shipper and the calculation
and the amounts distributed to the Replacement Shipper shall be based
on the MDQ and flowing volume for that Replacement Shipper during the
relevant annual period. MEP shall file with the Commission a refund
report for each annual distribution of penalty revenue under this
subsection.
(c) Penalty revenue associated with the Leased
Capacity Charges shall not be subject to this Section 9.3 or included
in any calculation hereunder because such revenue is all passed on by
MEP to Enogex.
