The Index Price is equal to the sum of the prices published by the
following publication for delivery to Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line
Corporation's ("Transco") system 1) during the month in which SHIPPER's Net
Monthly Imbalance was incurred and 2) the first weekly price published
during the month following the month in which the imbalance was incurred
divided by the number of such prices utilized by COMPANY as determined
below:
Reference Spot Price Zone 4, 4A and 4B - Natural Gas Week Holmesville,
Miss. Price from Spot Prices on Interstate Pipeline Systems - Part 2
If publication or the specific postings contained therein that are listed
above are discontinued, COMPANY will revise this Section 14(d) to
substitute another price index generally accepted in the natural gas
industry. Until COMPANY receives approval from the Commission to use such
substitute index, COMPANY will calculate the Index Price each month based
on an industry-wide weekly index for Transco Zone 4.
(e) After each month, COMPANY will net all of the actual imbalances accrued
during the month under each agreement subject to netting under Section
14(a) above to determine a net system imbalance for the month. Subject to
other remedies available to COMPANY under operational flow orders issued
pursuant to Section 30 of the General Terms and Conditions, if the net
system imbalance does not exceed either 100,000 Dth of gas owed to COMPANY
or 50,000 Dth of gas owed to SHIPPERS, the price to be paid by COMPANY or
SHIPPER hereunder for each SHIPPER'S respective Net Monthly Imbalance shall
be 100% of the Index Price in effect for that month regardless of each
SHIPPER'S Net Imbalance Percentage or whether SHIPPER has incurred a
Minority Imbalance or a Majority Imbalance.
(i) On or before the ninth Business Day following the end of a month,
COMPANY shall post on SoNet Premier the Net Monthly Imbalance
accrued by a SHIPPER hereunder during the previous month provided
that the SHIPPER notifies COMPANY'S Customer Services Department via
SoNet Premier no later than the last day of the Trading Period set
forth below that SHIPPER wants to have its Net Monthly Imbalance
posted. SHIPPER may also request within the same time period as
provided above, COMPANY to post only its imbalance position; i.e.,
that SHIPPER is short or long during the month, to facilitate
trading. Notices to post imbalances received by COMPANY on or before
11:45 a.m. shall be effective no later than 8:00 a.m. CCT the next
Business Day. COMPANY shall not be required to post zero
imbalances. SHIPPER may grant to COMPANY in writing the right to
post its Net Monthly Imbalance or imbalance position on a standing
basis; provided however, that if SHIPPER decides it does not wish
COMPANY to post its imbalance or position for any month after it has
issued a standing order to COMPANY, then SHIPPER must advise COMPANY
at least three (3) days after the end of the month not to make the
posting and SHIPPER must reinstitute the standing order in writing
once it has revoked the standing order as provided above. SHIPPERS
shall have seventeen (17) Business Days after the end of the month
(Trading Period) within which to trade Net Monthly Imbalances.
Imbalance trades can only be withdrawn by the SHIPPER initiating the
trade prior to confirmation of the trade by the confirming SHIPPER.
