GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
----------------------------
(c) The Monthly Index Price (MIP) is based on prices as
reported in "Gas Daily". MEP shall use either the highest weekly
average price or the lowest weekly average price determined for each
Month as the MIP for all monthly Imbalances subject to cashout
hereunder, as described below. The average price for each week shall
be the price for the applicable location indicated below in the
referenced publication in the table entitled "Weekly Weighted Average
Prices" (or the superseding reference if the publication titling is
revised). The issues of such publication to be used in determining
each Month's highest weekly average price and lowest weekly average
price shall include all issues containing the above-referenced table
with publication dates within the calendar month in which the Imbalance
occurred, plus the first publication of the next Month after the
Imbalance occurred containing the above-referenced table. If the
weekly price for one or more of the locations below is no longer
published by Gas Daily, the equivalent prices in the Energy
Intelligence Group publication "Natural Gas Week", under the column
labeled "$/MMBtu" in the table entitled "Natural Gas Weekly Spot
Prices" will be used to determine the MIP's for all locations indicated
below.
(1) For Gas owed MEP (Underage Imbalances), the
MIP shall be the highest of the weekly average prices for the
applicable location indicated below for the Month in which the
Imbalance occurred.
(2) For Gas owed Shipper (Overage Imbalances),
the MIP shall be the lowest of the weekly average prices for the
applicable location indicated below for the Month in which the
Imbalance occurred.
(d) Trading and cashout of imbalances shall be
implemented within Operational Impact Areas (OIAs). There are four
Operational Impact Areas on the MEP System. OIA-1 is defined as the
Interconnection of MEP or MarkWest and Enogex and uses the NGPL,
Midcontinent Index Price. The following defines the geographical
boundaries of the remaining Operational Impact Areas and the price
index utilized for each area for determination of cashout prices:
