GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS

11. IMBALANCES

11.1 RESPONSIBILITY FOR BALANCING

In addition to delivering and receiving volumes of gas in conformance

with nominations, Shippers are responsible for conforming their takes at

Delivery Points with their deliveries to Stingray at Receipt Points each

day. Stingray has no obligation to deliver for the account of a Shipper

more volumes of gas than Stingray has received for the account of the

Shipper or to accept for the account of the Shipper more volumes of gas

than are being delivered for the account of the Shipper on any day.

11.2 NETTING AND TRADING OF MONTHLY IMBALANCES

At the end of each calendar month, to the extent the net receipts

(with the appropriate deductions for Company Use Gas) do not equal the

deliveries under an Agreement on a Dth basis, the following

transportation fees and netting and trading procedures will apply:

(a) A transportation charge under the applicable provision(s) of

Sheet No. 5 will be assessed for any positive imbalance

remaining at the end of a month.

(b) Imbalances under a Shipper's different Agreements will be

netted together to obtain the Shipper's Total Monthly Imbalance

("TMI"). The TMI will be shown with the monthly billings sent

to Shippers. To facilitate the trading or offsetting of a

Shipper's TMI, Stingray will post on its Internet Website, on

or before the ninth business day of the month, the TMI of any

Shipper that has not notified Stingray in writing that the

Shipper does not elect to have that information posted.

Shippers or their agents may then trade offsetting imbalances

with Shippers or their agents until the close of business on

the seventeenth business day of the month (Trading Period).

Parties that agree to trade all or part of an imbalance must

notify Stingray in writing on or before the seventeenth

business day of the month through submission of an Imbalance

Trade Confirmation form; otherwise, such trade shall not be

effective. Upon receipt of an Imbalance Trade Confirmation,

Stingray will send an Imbalance Trade Notification to the

trading parties by noon (Central Clock Time) the next business

day. All or part of a Shipper's TMI may be offset, provided

that a Shipper's TMI that is an overage may not become an

underage, and vice versa. Any Shipper imbalance remaining

after the Trading Period will be cashed out as described in

Section 11.3 or Section 11.4, as appropriate. Section 11.3

pertains to Minority Shippers with imbalances in the opposite

direction of the System Imbalance. Section 11.4 pertains to

Majority Shippers with imbalances in the same direction as the

System Imbalance. The System Imbalance is the difference, as

of the end of the month, between the summation of all gas

delivered during the month for Shippers and the summation of

all gas received during the month from Shippers minus Company

Use Gas.
