NGL BANK AGREEMENT (Continued)
In addition, Administrator shall convene a meeting at any time when
requested, in writing, by two or more of the Advisory Group members,
said meeting to occur within sixty (60) Days of receiving the written
request. Prior to convening any meeting of the Advisory Group,
Administrator shall give each Advisory Group member thirty (30) Days
prior written notice of the meeting and its purpose.
Resolution of issues brought forward to the Advisory Group will be by simple
majority vote of the respective representatives of the then shippers or agents
in the Advisory Group, with each representative having a single vote.
Administrator does not have a vote. No fewer than five members of the
Advisory Group must vote, whether in person or electronically, in order to
resolve any issue. Administrator, Shipper and Transporter acknowledge that
(1) neither the Advisory Group nor Transporter are granted any authority by
this Agreement to alter the operating parameters of any downstream Plant and
(2) any agreement between Shipper or its agent and a downstream Plant shall
not be modified by any provision of this Agreement.
ARTICLE V - SETTLEMENTS
5.1 Settlement Calculations. The NGL Bank settlement calculations to be performed by
the Administrator shall involve a process that is intended to approximate the
difference between the monthly theoretical gross processing margin for each
Shipper's gas stream and the processing margin for the HIOS commingled gas
stream. For purposes of this Agreement, such difference in the monthly
theoretical gross processing margin, which may be either positive or negative,
shall be calculated as follows:
5.1.a The difference between a shipper's processing revenue for theoretical
processing of its gas composition at its Point of Receipt versus the
composition of the HIOS commingled stream shall be calculated by first
subtracting the weighted average GPM of each NGL component for all of the
various Points of Receipt on HIOS from such shipper's GPM of each NGL
component at the Point of Receipt. Such GPM difference for each NGL
component, whether positive or negative, shall be multiplied by the
representative NGL component recovery factors below and multiplied by the
shipper's monthly volume of gas in Mcf to calculate a representative
difference in NGL component volumes in gallons that would be available to
the shipper after theoretical processing ("Theoretical NGL Recovery").
Such factors shall be representative of the Plants that process gas
delivered from HIOS to various downstream pipelines that, in turn, deliver
gas to the Plants. For purposes of this Agreement except as provided for
by Section 5.2, the representative recovery factors shall be as follows:
i. Ethane 65%
ii. Propane 96%
iii. Isobutane 100%
iv. Normal butane 100%
v. Natural gasoline 100%
The Theoretical NGL Recovery for each NGL component shall then be
multiplied by the representative Plant settlement basis and the
representative sales price for each NGL component to yield the difference
in the shipper's theoretical revenue ("Theoretical Revenue") for each NGL
component. For purposes of this Agreement, the representative Plant
settlement basis shall be eighty five percent (85%).
