(a) If on any Day Bobcat's capability to receive or deliver gas
quantities is impaired so that Bobcat is unable to receive

Customers utilizing Excess Injection Gas and/or Excess
Withdrawal Gas (pursuant to Section 2 of Rate Schedule FSS)

interruption as is practicable under the circumstances.
Such notice shall be made by telephone, fax, e-mail or via
Bobcat's Internet Web Site, as appropriate, and shall state
the reduced quantities of Gas that Bobcat estimates it will
be able to provide, and the estimated duration of the
interruption.

cooperate to the extent possible in making adjustments to
receipts, deliveries, injections, or withdrawals to minimize
injury to any property or facilities.

or damage to any person or property caused, in whole or in part,

demand, (4) to maintain service to all firm customers and
