GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
4. NOMINATIONS, SCHEDULING AND ALLOCATION (Cont'd.)
4.6 Limitation on Obligation. Should the quantities of Gas
received from Shipper(s) by Transporter at the Point(s) of
Receipt exceed the Confirmed Nomination, Transporter shall
notify Shipper of such fact, a reasonable time after such
becomes known, and Shipper shall seek to reduce deliveries to
Transporter forthwith to the extent necessary to avoid or
eliminate any resulting imbalance. Transporter may attempt to
transport the Gas received, as provided in the applicable
Service Classification. In the event any such excess delivery
would jeopardize the safety of Transporter's operations and/or
its ability to met its contract commitments to others, such
decisions being within the reasonable judgment and discretion of
Transporter, Transporter shall have the right to refuse to
accept, without any liability to Shipper or any other person,
all or such part of said excess delivery as Transporter deems
necessary, and shall notify Shipper accordingly as soon as
feasible.
4.7 Daily Imbalance Penalty: Daily Imbalance Penalties shall be
paid for each Dth of Gas by which the aggregate quantity of Gas
scheduled for delivery by Transporter to Shipper in a Day
exceeds by two percent (2%), or is less by two percent (2%)
than, the total of Dth's delivered to Shipper during such Day,
after eliminating any portion of such difference which is caused
by action of Transporter. Such penalty charges shall be:
variations > 2% = 4% $ 5.00 per Dth
variations > 4% = 5% $10.00 per Dth
variations > 5% $15.00 per Dth
Transporter shall not charge a Daily Imbalance Penalty if
Transporter has allowed the imbalance to occur pursuant to
Section 3.1 of these General Terms and Conditions.
Transporter will waive the Daily Imbalance Charge if in
Transporter's reasonable judgment, Shipper's actions have not
jeopardized Transporter's ability to operate its system or
impaired Transporter's ability to meet its other service
obligations. Penalties or waivers of penalties will be applied
in a not unduly discriminatory basis.
