[A+B] - C = Balancing Party's MAD
where A = the sum of the MDQs at all Primary Delivery Points for all firm
contracts covered by the Balancing Party's Balancing Agreements
(excluding any firm rights from Transporter's LNG facility at
Kingsport, Tennessee and/or from Primary Receipt Points on
Transporter's system at which Transporter does not have swing
capability)
B = any other quantities scheduled by Transporter at a point covered by
the Balancing Party's Balancing Agreement (including any firm
quantities scheduled for delivery from Transporter's LNG facility at
Kingsport, Tennessee and/or from Primary Receipt Points on
Transporter's system at which Transporter does not have swing
capability)
C = quantities scheduled at Secondary Delivery Points under firm
contracts that name a point covered by the Balancing Party's
Balancing Agreement as a Primary Delivery Point (excluding any firm
rights from Transporter's LNG facility at Kingsport, Tennessee
and/or from Primary Receipt Points on Transporter's system at which
Transporter does not have swing capability)
Transporter shall post on PASSKEY the sum of the MDQs at all Primary Delivery
Points for all firm contracts covered by each Balancing Party's Balancing Agreement
(excluding any firm rights from Transporter's LNG facility at Kingsport, Tennessee
and/or from Primary Receipt Points on Transporter's system at which Transporter
does not have swing capability).
7.2 Balancing Party shall not be subject to Unauthorized Overrun Charges under this
Section 7 where Balancing Party is able to demonstrate that it is prevented from
compliance with this Section 7 due to an event excusing performance as defined in
Section 24 of Transporter's General Terms and Conditions. Balancing Party shall
notify Transporter immediately if it believes that it is excused from compliance,
and shall provide Transporter with documentation sufficient to support its basis
for non-compliance.
7.3 In addition to the remedy set forth in Section 7.1 above, in the event a Balancing
Party takes gas in excess of the MAD, and Transporter believes it is necessary to
take actions (i.e., buying or selling gas, etc.) to maintain system integrity or to
prevent interrupting firm service, Transporter shall have the right, but not the
obligation, to take such remedial actions as it deems necessary. If Transporter
takes these actions, it shall be made whole by the Balancing Party that failed to
observe the MAD for all costs that Transporter incurs.
7.4 In addition to Balancing Party's rights set forth in Section 7.2 above, Balancing
Party may elect the Storage Delivery Option ("SDO"). SDO enables Balancing Party
to resolve quantities taken in excess of Balancing Party's MAD TQ by allocating
those excess quantities to Balancing Party's storage account up to the lesser of
Balancing Party's daily transportation MDQ on a designated FT-A transportation
agreement(s) or Balancing Party's storage MDWQ on a designated storage
agreement(s). If Balancing Party nominates and Transporter schedules any volumes
on the designated FT-A Agreement(s) and/or designated storage agreement(s),
Balancing Party's daily transportation MDQ and/or storage MDWQ available for SDO
shall be reduced accordingly to reflect those scheduled volumes. Under SDO, once
Transporter has allocated quantities to Balancing Party's storage account up to the
lesser of Balancing Party's daily transportation MDQ, storage MDWQ or storage
balance, any excess quantities will be subject to Unauthorized Overrun Charges.
SDO will be available at all delivery points covered by an OBA, and for receipts
from Transporter's LNG facilities and/or Third Party Provider ("TPP") storage
points which are attached to Transporter's system and are covered by a Balancing
Agreement under Rate Schedule LMS-PA and a TPP amendment.
