tendered for transportation or delivered by Transporter, is

insufficient to serve all transportation requirements which are

otherwise scheduled for such day, capacity which requires allocation

shall be allocated in a manner which results in curtailment of

capacity, to zero (0) if necessary,

agreements specifying a discounted rate, beginning with the

services;

Secondary Points of Receipt or Delivery except as provided in

Subsection 9(D);

(D) fourth to quantities scheduled within contract quantities for

flowing from the Primary Point(s) of Receipt to the Primary

Point(s) of Delivery;

quantities for each shipper pursuant to the FT Rate Schedule.
