RATE SCHEDULES

RATES SCHEDULE FTS
FIRM TRANSPORTATION SERVICE

1.  AVAILABILITY

Rate Schedule FTS is available for transportation service by OkTex Pipeline Company (hereinafter called "Transporter"), to any entity desiring transportation (hereinafter called "Shipper"), where:

1.1  Shipper and Transporter have executed a Gas Transportation Contract for Firm Service under Rate Schedule FTS; and

1.2  All necessary regulatory and governmental approvals to purchase and sell, transport and, if appropriate, import the natural gas to be transported by Transporter have been obtained.

2.  REQUESTS FOR SERVICE

2.1  Transporter will accept reservations for firm transportation service under Rate Schedule FTS, subject to the availability of firm capacity on Transporter's natural gas transmission system for the provision of such service, from Shippers on a first‑come, first‑served basis with priority given to those Shippers who were first to request such service in accordance with Section 2.2 hereof.  For purposes of preceding sentence, all requests for service received on any one (1) day will be deemed to have been received at the same time on such day, in a day, if received prior to the gas flow nomination deadline. If requests for the reservation of firm transportation service under Rate Schedule FTS received on any one (1) day exceed the capacity available for firm reserved transportation service on Transporter's system, such capacity shall be allocated among Shippers requesting firm reserved transportation service under Rate Schedule FTS on such day on a pro rata basis.  In the event that any Shipper elects not to enter into a contract for its pro rata share of firm reserved transportation capacity such capacity shall be reallocated among the other Shippers on a pro rata basis up to their requested reservations.  Upon Transporter's acceptance of a reservation, Transporter and Shipper shall enter into a Gas Transportation Contract for Firm Transportation Service in the form set forth in Part 9.10.  Such contract(s) shall provide that transportation service shall begin and terminate on dates mutually agreed to by Shipper and Transporter.  

2.2  Requests for transportation under the Rate Schedule FTS shall be in writing in accordance with the Service Request Form, shall be addressed to Transporter and shall contain all of the information requested on the Service Request Form or shall be made electronically through the Customer Activities Web site. 

2.3  If Shipper does not execute a Gas Transportation Contract for Firm Transportation Service within thirty (30) days of the date on which Transporter tenders such contract to Shipper, Shipper's request for transportation service pursuant to Rate Schedule FTS shall be null and void.

2.4  A request by a Shipper for an increase in the Maximum Daily Contract Demand, or in the Maximum Input Quantity for a Receipt Point, or in the Maximum Equivalent Quantity at a Delivery Point shall be treated as a new request for service and handled in accordance with this Section 2.

3.  APPLICABILITY AND CHARACTER OF SERVICE
   
Rate Schedule FTS shall apply to all firm reserved transportation service rendered under gas transportation contracts for such firm reserved service.

When Shipper and Transporter have executed a Gas Transportation Contract for Firm Transportation Service under Rate Schedule FTS, Transporter shall receive from or for the account of Shipper, during each month during the term of such contract beginning with the Commencement Date, the Input Quantity scheduled for each Receipt Point pursuant to Section 6 hereof, up to the Maximum Input Quantity scheduled for each Receipt Point.  Transporter shall transport and make available to or on behalf of Shipper such Input Quantity, adjusted for the Fuel and Use Quantity, at the Delivery Point(s) scheduled by Shipper, not to exceed the Maximum Equivalent Quantity for each Delivery Point.

Transportation service provided hereunder shall be firm reserved service and shall have priority over all transportation undertaken by Transporter on an interruptible basis.

4.  DETERMINATION OF RECEIPT AND DELIVERY QUANTITIES, OPERATING
COORDINATION AND ADJUSTMENTS

Gas received by Transporter for Shipper's account at the Point(s) of Receipt may be commingled with Gas received for other Shippers at the same point(s), and Gas delivered by Transporter for Shipper's account at the Point(s) of Delivery may be commingled with Gas delivered to other Shippers at the same point(s).

Transporter and Shippers shall use their best efforts to coordinate their actions to reduce imbalances resulting from the inability to maintain precise control and shall adjust operating procedures from time to time in the light of experience to balance out and to minimize imbalances.

5.  CONSTRUCTION OF NEW FACILITIES

Transporter shall not be required to acquire or construct any pipeline facilities specifically applicable to an individual Shipper (other than those minor facilities incident to the receipt and delivery or measurement of Gas at the Point(s) of Receipt and Point(s) of Delivery or at locations where Gas is measured) in order to provide service under this Rate Schedule; provided, however, that Transporter may, in its reasonable discretion, which discretion will not be applied in a discriminatory manner and with the agreement of the Shipper, agree to acquire or construct any such necessary facilities, subject to the provisions of Section 8.4 of this Rate Schedule.

6.  NOMINATIONS AND SCHEDULING

Refer to Section 10.  OPERATING INFORMATION, ESTIMATES, NOMINATION, SCHEDULING AND BALANCING in the General Terms and Conditions. 

7.  HOURLY VARIATIONS

Transporter shall receive, transport and deliver gas at a uniform hourly rate of flow when operationally feasible, the amount which Transporter scheduled for Shipper for that month for transportation under this Rate Schedule, provided, however, that Transporter will transport hourly Quantities for Shipper without regard to such hourly limitation to the extent that Transporter can do so without impairment of service to  its other Shippers or without adversely affecting the operation of the system.

8.  RATES

8.1  Applicable Rates.  The applicable Maximum and Minimum Monthly Demand Charges and Unit Commodity Rates, for firm reserved transportation service under Rate Schedule FTS, are set forth in the currently effective Rates in Part 5.0 and are hereby incorporated herein.

(b)  Unit Commodity Charge ‑ For each month, the Unit Commodity Rate payable by each Shipper shall, subject to any discount as provided herein, be equal to the applicable Maximum Unit Commodity Rate multiplied by the sum of the Input Quantity received by Transporter on behalf of Shipper during such month at each Receipt Point for transportation to each Delivery Point.

(c)  ACA Surcharges ‑ For each month, the ACA Surcharges payable by each Shipper shall be equal to the ACA Adjustments multiplied by the sum of the Input Quantities received by Transporter on behalf of Shipper during such month at each Receipt Point for transportation to each Delivery Point. 

8.3  Flexible Rates.  For purposes of administering rates under Rate Schedule FTS, Transporter shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to discount the Maximum Monthly Demand Charge and Maximum Unit Commodity Rates for firm service under Rate Schedule FTS and to charge a lower rate for some or all of the services performed under Rate Schedule FTS, so long as such discounting is necessary to meet competitive conditions existing at the time, provided, however, that in no event shall rates charged under Rate Schedule FTS be less than Transporter's Minimum Monthly Demand Charge and Minimum Unit Commodity Rates for firm service.

8.4  Other Charges.  The following further fees and charges also may be charged by Transporter to the extent applicable to the specific services provided hereunder.

(a)  Reimbursement for Filing Fees ‑ Shipper shall reimburse Transporter for any filing or reporting fees that are assessed by any governmental agency in conjunction with service hereunder and paid by Transporter; and

(b)  For the costs of all facilities which Transporter acquires or constructs to provide service hereunder specifically applicable to such Shipper as described in Section 5 of this Rate Schedule, and which Shipper has agreed to reimburse Transporter in whole or in part.

(c)  Unless otherwise provided, all substances whether or not of commercial value, including all liquid and liquefiable hydrocarbons of whatever nature, that Transporter recovers in the course of transporting the quantities of natural gas tendered hereunder by or on behalf of Shipper shall be Transporter's sole property, and Transporter shall not be obliged to account to Shipper for any value, whether or not realized by Transporter, that may attach or be said to attach to such substance.

14. CAPACITY CURTAILMENT.  

If during any month Transporter determines that capacity for firm transportation service on Transporter's system is insufficient to serve Shipper and others who have entered into Gas Transportation Contracts for Firm Service with Transporter and who have scheduled service on such day, firm transportation service on Transporter's system shall be allocated in accordance with Section 13 of the General Terms and Conditions.  Transporter shall not bear any liability for any curtailment of transportation service to Shipper undertaken pursuant to events of force majeure and other events described in this Rate Schedule and the General Terms and Conditions made a part hereof.

4.   QUALITY

4.1    Heating Value.  The gas to be delivered to Transporter at the Receipt Point(s) and made available to or on behalf of Shipper at the Delivery Point(s) under this Tariff shall be natural gas having a total heating value of not less than 975 Btus, nor more than 1,080 Btus, per cubic foot unless Transporter and Shipper otherwise agree.

4.2  Freedom from Objectionable Matter.  The natural gas to be delivered to Transporter at the Receipt Point(s) and made available to or on behalf of Shipper at the Delivery Point(s) under this Tariff:

(a)  shall be commercially free (at prevailing pressure and temperature) from objectionable odors, dust and other solid or liquid matters which might interfere with its merchantability or cause injury to or interference with proper operation of the lines, regulators, meters or other appliances through which it flows;

(b)  shall not contain more than twenty grains of total sulphur nor more than one quarter grain of hydrogen sulfide per one hundred cubic feet;

(c)  shall not contain more than two‑tenths of one percent (0.2%) by volume of a combined total volume of oxygen, and Shipper shall make every reasonable effort to keep the gas free of oxygen;

(d)  shall not contain more than two percent (2%) by volume of carbon dioxide and not more than four percent (4%) by volume of total inerts including carbon dioxide and nitrogen components;

(e)  shall have a temperature of not more than one hundred twenty degrees (120) Fahrenheit; and

(g)  shall be interchangeable with gas on Transporter's System at the Point of Receipt.

4.3  Failure to Conform to Specifications.  If the gas offered for delivery to Transporter at the Receipt Point(s) or made available to or on behalf of Shipper at the Delivery Point(s) has failed at any time to conform to any of the specifications set forth in Section 4.1 or 4. 2 of this Section 4, then the party receiving such gas (the "receiving party") shall notify the other party (the "tendering party") of such deficiency and thereupon the receiving party may at its option refuse to accept such gas pending correction by the tendering party.  Upon the tendering party's failure promptly to remedy any deficiency in quality as specified in Section 4.1 or 4.2 of this Section 4, the receiving party may accept such gas and may make changes necessary to bring such gas into conformity with such specifications, and the tendering party shall reimburse the receiving party for any reasonable expense incurred by it in effecting such changes.  In no event shall the failure of any gas offered for delivery to Transporter by Shipper or for Shipper's account to conform to any of the specifications set forth in Section 4.1 or 4.2 of this Section 4 relieve Shipper of Shipper's obligation to pay Monthly Demand Charges, if applicable.  In no event shall the failure of any gas made available to or on behalf of Shipper at any Delivery Point(s) to conform to any of the specifications set forth in Section 4.1 or 4.2 of this Section 4 relieve Shipper of Shipper's obligation to pay the Unit Commodity Rates and, if applicable, Monthly Demand Charges.

4.4  Commingling.  Gas received for Shipper's account at the Point(s) of Receipt will be commingled with the gas of other Shippers in the System.  Accordingly, the gas delivered by Transporter for the account of Shipper at the Point(s) of Delivery may not be the same molecules as those received from Shipper for transportation hereunder.

4.5  Odorization.  The gas delivered to or for the account of Shipper at the Point(s) of Delivery may be odorized by Transporter by use of an odorant agent of such character as to indicate by a distinctive odor the presence of gas when deemed desirable or necessary by Transporter or when governmental authorities having jurisdiction so require.  Whenever odorized gas is delivered, the quality and specifications, as set forth in this Section 4.5, of such gas shall be determined prior to the addition of an odorant or with proper allowance for changes or additions due to such odorant.

4.6  Delivery Pressure.  The delivery pressure for Shipper's Gas at the Point(s) of Delivery shall be at Transporter's line pressure as it may exist from time to time.

5.   MEASUREMENT

Determination of Volume and Total Heating Value.  The volume and the total heating value of the gas delivered to Transporter at the Receipt Point(s) and made available to or on behalf of Shipper at the Delivery Point(s) shall be determined as follows:

5.1  The unit of gas, for the purpose of measurement, shall be one (1) Dekatherm.

5.2  The volumetric measurement base shall be one (1) cubic foot of dry gas at a pressure base of 14.73 psia and at a temperature base of 60 degrees Fahrenheit.  (Refer to NAESB WGQ Standard No. 2.3.9)

5.3  The total heating value of the gas per cubic foot shall be determined for any month by taking the weighted average of the heating values as recorded each day by a calorimeter or chromatograph, or as determined by chromatographic analysis of a sample of gas collected during the month or any other method mutually agreed upon by Shipper and Transporter.

5.4  The Dekatherms delivered shall be determined by multiplying the Mcf delivered by the ratio of the Btu per cubic foot delivered to 1,000.  For purposes of this determination, the specific gravity and heating value shall be determined at approximately the same time.

5.5  The temperature of the gas passing though each meter shall be determined for any day by the continuous use of a recording thermometer so installed that it may properly record the temperature of the gas flowing through each meter.  The arithmetical average of the flowing temperature recorded of each hour shown by the recording thermometer shall be used in computing gas volumes.

5.6  The specific gravity of the gas shall be determined by the use of a recording gravitometer, or by calculation from chromatographic analysis of a sample of gas collected during the month at the Point of Receipt or Point of Delivery, which shall be checked at least once each month, or any other method mutually agreed upon by Shipper and Transporter.

5.7  The deviation of the natural gas from Boyle's Law shall be determined by the use of the table of formulas published by the American Gas Association Par Research Project NX‑19 corrected for carbon dioxide and nitrogen or any superseding applicable tables published by the American Gas Association.  Determinations of the molecular percentage of N2 and CO2 in the gas shall be made within thirty (30) days after commencement of deliveries and at least quarterly thereafter.  The molecular percentage of N2 and CO2 thus determined will be used to determine the supercompressibility factors during the ensuing period with corrections for specific gravity, temperature and pressure.

5.8  The latest issue of Gas Processors Association Publications 2172, "Method for Calculation of Gross Heating Value, Specific Gravity, and Compressibilities of Natural Gas Mixtures from Compositional Analysis," contains the physical factors used to calculate Heating Value and specific gravity from a gas analysis and shall be used as the basis for determining Heat Content.

6.   MEASURING EQUIPMENT

6.1  Measuring Station.  Transporter will install, maintain and operate at its expense, at or near the Delivery Point(s), a measuring station properly equipped with meters and other necessary measuring equipment by which the volume of natural gas made available to or on behalf of Shipper shall be measured and determined in accordance with Section 5 of these General Terms and Conditions.

(a)  Orifice Meters.  Orifice meters, if used, shall be installed and gas volumes computed, in accordance with American National Standard Bulletin ANSI.API 2530, Orifice Metering of Natural Gas, dated June 1979, and any modification and amendments thereof, and may include the use of flange connections and straightening vanes.

(b)  Diaphragm, Rotary, or Turbine Meters.  Diaphragm, rotary, or turbine meters, if used, shall be installed and gas volumes computed in accordance with generally accepted industry practices.

(c)  Electronic Flow Computers.  If the use of electronic or other types of flow computers is mutually agreeable to Transporter and Shipper, they may be installed and volumes calculated in accordance with generally accepted industry practices.

(d)  New Measurement Techniques.  If at any time a new method or technique is developed with respect to gas measurement or the determination of the factors used in such gas measurement, such new method or technique may be substituted upon mutual agreement thereto by the parties.

6.2  Check Measurement Equipment.  Shipper may install, maintain and operate, at its own expense, such check measuring equipment as desired, provided that such equipment shall be so installed as not to interfere with the operation of Transporter's measuring equipment at or near any Delivery Point.

6.3  Right to be Present.  Transporter and Shipper shall have the right to have representatives present at the time of any installing, reading, cleaning, changing, repairing, inspecting, testing, calibrating or adjusting done in connection with the other's measuring equipment used in measuring or checking the measurement of deliveries of gas under any Gas Transportation Contract between Transporter and Shipper.  The records from such measuring equipment shall remain the property of their owner, but upon request each will submit to the other its records and charts, together with calculations, therefore, for inspection and verification, subject to return within thirty (30) days after receipt thereof.

6.4  Care Required.  All installations of measuring equipment applying to or affecting deliveries of gas shall be made in such manner as to permit an accurate determination of the quantity of gas delivered and ready verification of the accuracy of measurement.  Reasonable care shall be exercised by both parties in the installation, maintenance and operation of pressure regulating equipment or compressors so as to prevent any inaccuracy in the determination of the volume of gas delivered under any Gas Transportation Contract.

6.5  Calibration and Test of Meters.  The accuracy of Transporter's measuring equipment shall be verified by Transporter at reasonable intervals, and if requested, in the presence of representative of Shipper, by Transporter shall not be required to verify the accuracy of such equipment more frequently than once in any thirty (30) day period.  In the event either party shall notify the other that it desires a special test of any measuring equipment, the expense of any such special test, if called on, shall be borne by Shipper if the measuring equipment tested is found not to be in error by more than two (2) percent.

If upon test, any measuring equipment, including recording calorimeters, is found to be in error by not more than two (2) percent, previous recording of such equipment shall be considered accurate in computing deliveries of gas, but such equipment shall be adjusted at once to record accurately.

If upon test, any measuring equipment shall be found to be inaccurate by an amount exceeding two (2) percent, at a recording corresponding to the average hourly rate of flow for the period since the last preceding test, then any previous recordings of such equipment shall be corrected to zero error for any period which is known definitely, but in case the period is not known or agreed upon, such correction shall be for a period extending over one‑half of the time elapsed since the date of last test, not to exceed a period of sixteen (16) days.

6.6  Correction of Metering Errors ‑ Failure of Meters.  In the event a meter is out of service or registering inaccurately, the volume of gas delivered shall be determined:

(a)  by using the registration of any check meter or meters, if installed and accurately registering or, in the absence of (a);

(b)  by correcting the error if the percentage of error is ascertainable by calibration, tests or mathematical calculation; or in the absence of both (a) and (b), then;

(c)  by estimating the quantity of delivery by deliveries during periods under similar conditions when the meter was registering accurately.

6.7  Preservation of Metering Records.  Transporter and Shipper shall each preserve for a period of at least one (1) year all test data, charts and other similar records.

6.8  Exchange of Measured Volume Audit Statements.  For exchange of measured volume audit statements refer to NAESB WGQ Standard No. 2.1.4.

The imbalance statement shall be rendered prior to or with the invoice, and the transportation invoice shall be rendered on or before the 9th business day after the end of the production month.  Rendered is defined as postmarked, time-stamped, and delivered (made available) to the designated site. [3.3.14]  

7.2  Monthly Payment Date.  Shipper shall pay Transporter, at a bank designated by Transporter, so that payment is received and Transporter has available funds there from on or before the last day of each month, the full amount billed by Transporter to Shipper under Section 7.1 of this Section 7 for the immediately preceding month in a statement for such month according to the measurement, computations and prices provided in this Tariff and the Gas Transportation Contract between Transporter and Shipper.

7.3  Transporter may at its option render an estimated imbalance statement to Shipper, which statement shall contain Transporter's best estimate of the total amount payable to Transporter by Shipper under the Gas Transportation Contracts(s) between Transporter and Shipper for the preceding month.  Shipper shall pay to Transporter the full amount of such estimated statement on or before the last day of each month provided, however, that Transporter shall render to Shipper a final statement no later than the twentieth (20th) day of the month in which such estimated statement is rendered, unless Transporter's failure to do so is due to the fault of Shipper, in which case Transporter shall render to Shipper a final statement at such time as Transporter is able to do so.  Any difference between the estimated statement and the final statement shall be added to or deducted from, as appropriate, Transporter's next succeeding monthly statement to Shipper if any and if not the Party having the debt shall pay to the other Party an amount equal to such debt. 

7.4  Remedies for Nonpayment.  Should Shipper fail to pay any or all of the amount of any bill as herein provided when such amount is due, Shipper shall pay a Charge for Late Payment which shall be included by Transporter on the next regular monthly bill rendered to Shipper.  Such Charge for Late Payment shall be determined by multiplying (a) the unpaid portion of the bill by (b) the ratio of the number of days from the due date to the date of actual payment to 365 by (c) the applicable rate of interest calculated in accordance with Section 154.67 of the Commission's regulations.  If such failure to pay continues for thirty (30) days after payment is due, Transporter, in addition to any other remedy it may have under the Gas Transportation Contract, may, after any required application to and authorization by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, suspend further transportation of gas until such amount is paid, and if such default continues for thirty (30) additional days, Transporter may thereafter, in addition to any other remedy it may have under the Gas Transportation Contract, terminate said contract in accordance with the provisions of Section 12.4 of Part 8.0, provided, however, that if Shipper in good faith shall dispute the amount of any bill or part thereof and shall pay Transporter such amount as it concedes to be correct and at any time within thirty (30) days after a demand made by Transporter shall furnish good and sufficient surety bond, guaranteeing payment to Transporter of the amount ultimately found due upon such bills after a final determination which may be reached either by agreement or judgment of the courts, as may be the case, then Transporter shall not, with respect to such non‑payment, be entitled to seek to suspend further delivery of gas unless and until default be made in the conditions of such bond.

7.5  Adjustment of Underpayment, Overpayment or Error in Billing.  If it shall be found that at any time or times Shipper has been overcharged or undercharged in any form whatsoever under the provisions of the Gas Transportation Contract and Shipper shall have actually paid the bills containing such overcharge or undercharge, then within thirty (30) days after the final determination thereof, Transporter shall refund the amount of any such overcharge, and Shipper shall pay the amount of any such undercharge, provided, however, that interest calculated in accord with Section 7.4 above shall apply to any undercharge not paid within thirty (30) days from the date of Transporter's notification to Shipper of the amount of the undercharge.  In the event an error is discovered in the amount billed in any statement rendered by Transporter, such error shall be adjusted within thirty (30) days of the final determination thereof provided that claim therefor shall have been made within sixty (60) days from the date of discovery of such error but, in any event, within twenty‑four (24) months from the date of payment.

7.6  Right of Examination.  Both Transporter and Shipper shall have the right to examine at any reasonable time the books, records and charges of the other to the extent necessary to verify the accuracy of any statement, chart or computation made under or pursuant to the provision of this Tariff or the Gas Transportation Contract between Transporter and Shipper.

10.2  At Transporter's request, any Shipper, which has executed a Gas Transportation Contract with Transporter wherein Transporter agrees to transport gas on behalf of Shipper, will furnish to Transporter estimates of the daily, monthly, and annual quantities of natural gas which Shipper desires Transporter to transport for Shipper.

10.3  At least ten (10) days prior to commencement of initial deliveries under an executed service agreement, Shipper shall furnish Transporter with a written estimate showing by Point(s) of Receipt and Point(s) of Delivery the estimated daily quantities of gas it desires Transporter to transport on its behalf during the first twelve (12) months of transportation service under the executed service agreement.

10.4  Nominations.  Shipper shall give notice by the Customer Activities Web site utilized by transporter, telephone, or telecopy to Transporter in which Shipper desires transportation service to be rendered by nominating under the applicable rate schedule the Dekatherms of gas Shipper desires to tender at the Point(s) of Receipt and Point(s) of Delivery for transportation during such next succeeding month.

Transporter shall advise Shipper as stated above, prior to the start of each day for which nominations are made, of the Dekatherms which Transporter will schedule and accept at the Point(s) of Receipt for transportation, and deliver at the Point(s) of Delivery after transportation, which quantity shall be scheduled the Dekatherms unless operating conditions require adjustment thereof.

Nominations received from Shippers for any day under Rate Schedule FTS shall be used to calculate the amount of capacity available for transportation under Rate Schedule ITS for such day. Transporter will evaluate all timely nominations in light of the estimated demand for firm service and will schedule interruptible service for such day up to the level of available capacity.  Prior to the start of the day for which interruptible nominations are made by a Shipper, Transporter will notify such Shipper(s) of the interruptible amount scheduled for delivery for such day.

10.9  Balancing.  It is recognized that the Parties are unable to control exactly the quantity of gas received and delivered hereunder on any day and that the receipts and deliveries by Transporter may vary above or below the quantity scheduled on any day.  Such variations shall be kept to a minimum permitted by operating conditions and shall be balanced at the Point(s) of Receipt and/or Delivery as soon as practicable.  Upon termination of the service agreement, any then existing imbalance between receipts by Transporter from Shipper, less Shipper's Pro Rata Share of Company Used Gas and Unaccounted For Gas and Transporter's deliveries to Shipper or for Shipper's account, shall be brought into balance within sixty (60) days of the termination of the contract.  Transporter shall not be obligated to deliver to Shipper on any day a greater quantity of gas than it has received from Shipper on such day, reduced by Shipper's Pro Rata Share of any Company Used Gas and Unaccounted For Gas.

10.10  Transporter shall keep accurate records of the quantities of gas scheduled for transportation and any imbalances, which records shall be made available to Shipper at its request.

11.  OTHER OPERATING CONDITIONS

11.1  In no event shall Transporter be required to accept a request for transportation service for a quantity of gas which Transporter cannot meter with reasonable accuracy at the Receipt or Delivery Points for which Shipper is requesting service.  If Shipper's request for transportation service involves a quantity which Transporter cannot meter with reasonable accuracy at the requested Receipt or Delivery Point, Transporter will promptly so inform Shipper and advise Shipper of the minimum quantity that can be metered with reasonable accuracy at the proposed Receipt and Delivery Points

11.2   Shipper shall make all necessary arrangements with other parties at or upstream of the Receipt Point(s) where natural gas is delivered to Transporter by Shipper or for Shipper's account, which arrangements shall be compatible with Transporter's system operations and coordinated with Transporter's dispatchers.

11.3  Transporter shall not be required to render transportation service on behalf of Shipper in the event that all facilities necessary to render such service do not exist at the time such service is requested.

11.4  Shipper shall reimburse Transporter:

(a)  For the costs of any facilities, other than facilities included in Transporter's general system, installed by Transporter with Shipper's consent to receive, measure, transport or deliver natural gas for the account of Shipper;

(b)  For any and all filing and approval fees required in connection with the Gas Transportation Contract(s) between Transporter and Shipper that Transporter is obligated to pay to the FERC or any other governmental authority having jurisdiction; and

(c)  Any reimbursement due Transporter by Shipper pursuant to this Section 4 shall be due and payable to Transporter within ten (10) days of receipt by Shipper of Transporter's invoice(s) for same.  

11.5  Subject to the requirements of Section 7 of the Natural Gas Act, Transporter shall not be required to render or to continue to render transportation service on behalf of any Shipper that has applied for bankruptcy under the Bankruptcy Code or on behalf of any Shipper which, at Transporter's request, fails within a fifteen (15) day period to demonstrate and maintain credit worthiness, provided however, that Transporter shall render or continue to render transportation service for any such Shipper which prepays for such service or which, upon fifteen (15) days notice by Transporter, furnishes good and sufficient security bond or other good and sufficient security as Transporter in its reasonable discretion deems acceptable, of a continuing nature and in an amount equal to the cost of performing the transportation service request for a two (2) month period.

11.6  Transporter shall not be required to render transportation service on behalf of any Shipper which fails to comply with any or all of the terms of the applicable Rate Schedule under which such service is rendered on behalf of such Shipper and with these General Terms and Conditions and the terms of the Gas Transportation Contract(s) between Transporter and Shipper.

12.  FORCE MAJEURE AND REMEDIES 

12.1  Relief from liability.  Neither Transporter nor Shipper shall be liable in damages to the other for any act, omission or circumstance occasioned by or in consequence of any event constituting force majeure and, except as otherwise provided in Section 12.2 of this Section 12, the obligations of Transporter and Shipper shall be excused during the period thereof to the extent affected by such events of force majeure.  The term "force majeure" shall mean acts of God, strikes, lockouts, acts of the public enemy, wars, blockages, insurrections, riots, epidemics, landslides, lightning, earthquakes, fires, storms, floods, washouts, arrests and restraints of rulers, peoples, civil disturbances, explosions, breakage or accident to machinery or lines of pipe, line freeze‑ups, the binding order of any court or governmental authority which has been resisted in good faith by all reasonable legal means and any other cause, whether the kind herein enumerated or otherwise, and whether caused or occasioned by or happening on account of the act or omission of one of the parties to the Gas Transportation Contract between Transporter and Shipper or some person or concern not a party thereto, which is not within the control of the party claiming excuse and which by the exercise of due diligence such party is unable to prevent or overcome.  A failure to settle or prevent any strike or other controversy with employees or with anyone purporting or seeking to represent employees shall not be considered to be a matter within the control of the party claiming excuse.  Under no circumstances will lack of finances be construed to constitute force majeure.

12.2  Liabilities not relieved.  Such causes or contingencies affecting the performance of said Gas Transportation Contract by either party, however, shall not relieve it of liability in the event of its concurring negligence or in the event of its failure to use due diligence to remedy the situation and remove the cause in an adequate manner and with all reasonable dispatch nor shall such causes or contingencies affecting the performance of said contract relieve either party from its obligation to pay the applicable demand charge thereunder nor shall such causes or contingencies relieve either party of liability unless such party shall give notice and full particulars of the same in writing or by telegraph to the other party as soon as possible after the occurrence relied on.  Shipper's obligation to pay applicable demand charges shall not be suspended by any failure of Transporter to deliver gas to or on behalf of Shipper for any reason or cause whatsoever, whether or not described in this Section 12, except in the event that such failure is caused by the negligence or intentional misconduct of Transporter.

12.3  In the event Transporter is unable, wholly or in part, to make capacity available for transportation of the Maximum Input Quantities to which all Shippers are entitled under their gas Transportation contracts with Transporter during any month, then Shipper shall be entitled to such proportion of the total impaired transportation capacity as the sum of Shipper's Maximum Input Quantities bears to the sum of the total Maximum Input Quantities for firm transportation service of all Shippers affected by the impairment of transportation capacity.  Transporter shall not bear any liability for any curtailment of transportation service to Shipper undertaken pursuant to the provisions of this Section 12.3 of Section 12 and due to one or more of the causes stated in Section 12.1 of this Section 12 or to routine maintenance of Transporter's System.  To the extent that curtailment is caused by a matter described in Section 12, any liability that Transporter may have shall be limited to that set forth in said Section 12.  

12.4  Termination of Gas Transportation Contract.  If either Transporter or Shipper shall fail to perform any of the material covenants or obligations imposed upon it by the Gas Transportation Contract, subject to the applicable provisions of this Tariff, then in such event the other party may at its option terminate said contract by proceeding as follows:  the party not in default shall cause a written notice to be served on the party in default stating specifically the cause for terminating the contract and declaring it to be the intention of the party giving notice to terminate the same; thereupon, the party in default shall have thirty (30) days after the service of the aforesaid notice in which to remedy or remove the cause or causes stated in the notice for terminating the contract, and if within said period of thirty (30) days  the party in default does so remove and remedy said cause or causes, then such notice shall be withdrawn and the contract shall continue in full force and effect.  In case the party in default does not so remedy and remove the cause or causes within said period of thirty (30) days, the contract shall terminate, provided however, that no termination shall occur if the party in default has initiated action to cure such material default but, despite its best efforts, has been unable to complete the cure within such thirty (30) day period and is continuing its action to complete the cure in good faith beyond the end of the thirty (30) day period.  Except as specifically set forth in Section 5 of the Gas Transportation Contract(s) between Transporter and Shipper, the termination or cancellation of any Gas Transportation Contract shall be pursuant to the provisions of this paragraph, shall be without prejudice to the right of Transporter to collect any amounts then due to it for transportation services rendered prior to the time of cancellation and shall be without prejudice to the right of Shipper to receive any transportation service which has not been rendered but for which Shipper has paid prior to the time of cancellation and without waiver of any remedy to which the party not in default may be entitled for violations of the contract.

13.   CURTAILMENT AND INTERRUPTION

13.1  Transporter shall have the right to curtail or discontinue shipments, since Transporter may obligate itself to transport, on an interruptible basis, more gas than there may be at times capacity to transport and redeliver through its pipeline, in whole or in part on all or a portion of its system from time to time and at any time, under the following conditions and in the following manner:

13.2  Operating or Remedial Curtailment or Interruption may be ordered by Transporter at anytime if in Transporter's reasonable judgment capacity or operating conditions so require or it is desirable or necessary to make modifications, repairs or operating changes, the conduct of which will occasion interruption, upon such notice as is reasonable under the circumstances and in the following order, to the extent practicable:

(a) Interruptible transportation service shall be curtailed first, commencing with interruptible service that, at the time notice was given, was at the least rate being charged by Transporter then in effect under Rate Schedule ITS, and then in sequence ascending in the order of rates to the then maximum rate.  For service being rendered at the same rate, consideration shall be given to the date service was requested and the request most proximate to the date notice is given by Transporter of the particular curtailment or interruption shall be the first interrupted; next in order shall be service being charged the maximum rate in sequence starting with the service which was requested most proximate to the date notice is given by Transporter.

(b) If, in the sequence of interruptible service curtailments, a capacity allocation becomes necessary among Shippers paying the same rates and having the same date of service request, Transporter shall allocate on a pro rata basis such available capacity to such similarly situated Shippers.

(c) Any interruptible Shipper not paying the maximum rate may be interrupted unless the interruptible Shipper is willing to pay a rate that will match or exceed a competing offer to pay the highest rate then being offered up to the maximum rate for interruptible transportation service.  If any interruptible Shipper is notified by Transporter of potential interruption due to another interruptible Shipper's willingness to pay a higher interruptible transportation rate than the discounted interruptible rate determined between Transporter and the Shipper to which the notice is given, the latter may within five (5) days of such notice elect in writing to pay a higher rate which matches or exceeds the competing offer and thereby retain its priority.  If the Shipper does not exercise its right to match or exceed a competing offer within the specified five (5) day period, the Shipper may lose its priority, and it may not thereafter offer to pay the higher rate and reclaim its place in the priority queue.

(d) Firm service shall be the last in order of curtailment or interruption.  If firm service interruptions or curtailments become necessary among firm Shippers, capacity will be allocated on a pro rata basis to such similarly situated Shippers.

14.  SALES LATERAL PIPELINE POLICY

Transporter will not build or contribute to the cost of building any sales lateral pipelines.  Nothing in this policy statement shall require Transporter to file an application for a certificate of public convenience and necessity under Section 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act.  Nothing in this policy statement, further, shall prevent Transporter from contesting an application for service filed pursuant to Section 7(a) of the Natural Gas Act.  Transporter reserves the right to seek a waiver of the policy set forth herein, for good cause shown during any proceeding before the Commission instituted under Section 7 of the Natural Gas Act.

15.  NOTICES

Any communication, notice, request, demand, statement or bill provided for in this Tariff or in a Gas Transportation contract or any notice which either Transporter or Shipper may desire to give to the other shall be in writing and shall be considered as duly presented, rendered or delivered when sent, if sent by telegram, cable, telecopy or telex or, if sent by either postpaid registered or ordinary mail, shall be considered as duly presented five days after sending.  The material so sent shall be addressed to the pertinent party at its last known post office address or at such other address as either party may designate.

16.  MODIFICATION

No modification of the terms and provisions of a Gas Transportation Contract shall be made except by the execution of written contracts signed by Transporter and Shipper.

17.  NONWAIVER AND FUTURE DEFAULT

No waiver by either Transporter or Shipper of any one or more defaults by the other in the performance of any provisions of a Gas Transportation contract, the General Terms and Conditions or the applicable Rate Schedule shall operate or be construed as a waiver of any future default or defaults whether of a like or of a different character.

18.   SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNEES

Any company which shall succeed by purchase, merger or consolidation to the properties, substantially or as an entirety, of Transporter or of the Shipper, as the case may be, shall be entitled to the rights and shall be subjected to the obligations of its predecessor in title hereunder.  Otherwise, no assignment of the executed service agreement or any of the rights or obligations hereunder or any portion of its effective Maximum Daily Contract Demand shall be made.  Either party may assign its right, title and interest in and to the executed service agreement to a trustee or trustees, individual or corporate, as security for bonds or other obligations or securities without the necessity of obtaining such consent and without such trustee or trustees assuming or becoming in any respect obligated to perform the obligations of the assignor hereunder.

19.  SCHEDULES AND CONTRACTS SUBJECT TO REGULATION

This Tariff, including these General Terms and Conditions and the respective obligations of the parties under the Gas Transportation Contract(s) are subject to valid laws, orders, rules and regulations of duly constituted authorities having jurisdiction and are subject to change from time to time by addition, amendment or substitution as provided by law.

20.  UNAUTHORIZED MONTHLY OVERDELIVERY AT RECEIPT POINT AND REMEDY

20.1  If any Shipper should during any month deliver or cause to be delivered to Transporter at any Receipt Point, under the applicable Rate Schedule and without Transporter's authorization, a quantity of natural gas which exceeds the sum of Shipper's Input Quantity scheduled for such Receipt Point for such month, said quantity shall constitute an unauthorized overdelivery quantity. Within 25 days of the end of the month in which such unauthorized overdelivery quantities accrued Transporter shall send Shipper notice of such unauthorized overdelivery quantities.

20.2  Within thirty‑five (35) days of the date of the Transporter's notice to Shipper that Shipper has tendered or caused to be tendered to Transporter during a month an unauthorized overdelivery quantity, Shipper shall correct such unauthorized overdelivery quantity, provided, however, that Transporter may require that Shipper take corrective action within a shorter period of time if Transporter, in its reasonable discretion, determines that corrective action within such shorter period of time is necessary to protect the integrity of Transporter's system.  If Shipper fails to correct such unauthorized overdelivery quantity within the thirty‑five (35) day period, then Shipper shall pay to Transporter the overdelivery payment prescribed in Section 20.3 of this Section 20.

20.3  In the event the unauthorized overdelivered quantity occurs during a month when the overdelivery does not adversely affect reliability of service and does not adversely impair pipeline integrity, the overdelivery payment payable to Transporter shall be equal to two times the applicable maximum interruptible transportation rate for the system affected plus the Fuel and Use Quantity.  In the event the unauthorized overdelivered quantity occurs at a time when it adversely affects reliability of service or adversely impairs pipeline integrity, the overdelivery payment payable to Transporter shall be equal to Two Dollars ($2.00) per Dekatherm times the unauthorized overdelivery quantity during a month in excess of 1550 Dekatherm or ten percent (10%) of the sum of the Input Quantity scheduled for the applicable month, whichever is greater.  The making of this payment shall not relieve Shipper of Shipper's obligation to pay demand charges payable hereunder.  Nor shall such payment be considered a substitute for any other remedies available to Transporter or any other Shipper against the offending Shipper for failure to respect its obligation to adhere to the provisions of its contract(s) with Transporter.  Shipper shall take delivery of such unauthorized overdelivery quantity within sixty‑five (65) days from the date of such notice.  If Shipper fails to take delivery of such unauthorized overdelivery quantity within such sixty‑five (65) day period, then Shipper shall incur and pay to Transporter the overdelivery payment prescribed herein for such period and each additional thirty (30) day period that such gas remains on the system.

20.4. The sole remedy of any person for a Shipper's failure during any month to receive delivery of the quantity of natural gas to which it was entitled under its contracts with Transporter, where such failure was caused by the delivery of unauthorized overdelivery quantity by another Shipper, shall be against the offending Shipper, and Transporter shall have no liability to such person.

21.  UNAUTHORIZED MONTHLY UNDERDELIVERY AT RECEIPT POINT AND REMEDY

21.1  If during any month the sum of Shipper's scheduled Input Quantities for any Receipt Point for each day of such month exceeds the total quantity of gas actually tendered or caused to be tendered to Transporter by or on behalf of Shipper during such month at such Receipt Point said quantity shall constitute an unauthorized underdelivery quantity.  Within 25 days of the end of the month in which such unauthorized underdelivery quantities accrued Transporter shall send Shipper notice of such unauthorized underdelivery quantities.

21.2  Within thirty‑five (35) days of the date of the Transporter's notice to Shipper of the unauthorized underdelivery quantity, Shipper shall correct such underdelivery by tendering or causing to be tendered to Transporter the Dekatherms of gas that were underdelivered, provided, however, that Transporter may require that Shipper take corrective action within a shorter period of time if Transporter, in its reasonable discretion, determines that corrective action within such shorter period of time is necessary to protect the integrity of Transporter's system.  If Shipper fails to correct such problem within such thirty‑five (35) day period, then Shipper shall pay to Transporter the amounts set forth below.  In the event the unauthorized underdelivered quantity occurs during a period in which it does not adversely affect reliability of service or adversely impair pipeline integrity, the underdelivery payment to Transporter shall be equal to two times the maximum interruptible transportation rate for the system affected plus the Fuel and Use Quantity.  If the unauthorized underdelivery amount occurs during a period in which it adversely affects reliability of service or adversely impairs pipeline integrity, the underdelivery payment to Transporter shall be equal to Five Dollars ($5.00) per Dekatherm times the unauthorized underdelivery quantity which is in excess of 1550 Dekatherm or ten percent (10%) of the gas actually tendered or caused to be tendered by Shipper during the applicable month, whichever is greater. (Such gas which is less than the 1550 Dekatherm or ten percent (10%) of the gas tendered or caused to be tendered is hereinafter referred to as the Allowable Imbalance Gas) The making of this payment shall not relieve Shipper of Shipper's obligation to deliver to Transporter the Allowable Imbalance Gas.  If Shipper fails to deliver to Transporter such Allowable Imbalance Gas within a period of sixty (60) days after the end of the contract term, then Shipper shall pay to Transporter an amount equal to Five Dollars ($5.00) per Dekatherm times the Allowable Imbalance Gas.

21.3   The sole remedy of any person for a Shipper's failure during any month to receive delivery of the quantity of natural gas to which it was entitled under its contracts  with Transporter, where such failure was caused by the delivery of an unauthorized underdelivery quantity by another Shipper, shall be against the offending Shipper, and Transporter shall have no liability to such person.

22.  UNAUTHORIZED MONTHLY OVERRUN AT DELIVERY POINT AND REMEDY

22.1  If any Shipper should during any month take or cause to be taken at any Delivery Point, under the applicable Rate Schedule and without Transporter's authorization, a quantity of natural gas which exceeds the sum of Shipper's Equivalent Quantity for such Delivery Point for such month, said quantity shall constitute an unauthorized overrun quantity. Unless authorized by Transporter, all overrun quantities are unauthorized, provided, however, that no gas made available to or on behalf of Shipper at Delivery Point(s) where Transporter has complete and unrestricted control of gas deliveries shall be considered an unauthorized overrun quantity.  Within 25 days of the end of the month in which such unauthorized overrun quantities accrued Transporter shall send Shipper notice of such unauthorized overrun quantities.

22.2  Within thirty‑five (35) days of the date of the Transporter's notice, Shipper shall tender or cause to be tendered to Transporter Dekatherms of gas equal to the unauthorized overrun quantity that Shipper took or caused to be taken at the Delivery Point.  If Shipper within such thirty‑five (35) day period fails to tender or cause to be tendered to Transporter such excess Dekatherms, then Shipper shall pay Transporter the amounts set forth below.  If the unauthorized overrun quantity occurs during a period in which it does not adversely affect reliability of service or adversely impair pipeline integrity, the overrun payment to Transporter shall be equal to two times the maximum interruptible rate for the system affected plus the Fuel and Use Quantity.  If the unauthorized overrun occurs during a period in which it adversely affects reliability of service or adversely impairs pipeline integrity, the unauthorized overrun payment to Transporter shall be equal to Five Dollars ($5.00) per Dekatherm times the unauthorized overrun quantity which is in excess of 1550 Dekatherms or ten percent (10%) of the sum of the Equivalent Quantities for the applicable month, whichever is greater. (Such gas that is less than the 1550 Dekatherms or ten percent (10%) of the sum of the Equivalent Quantities for such month are hereinafter referred to as the Allowable Overrun Gas)  The making of this payment shall not relieve Shipper of Shipper's obligation to deliver to Transporter the Dekatherms that equal the  Allowable Overrun Gas.  If Shipper fails to deliver to Transporter such Allowable Overrun Gas within a sixty (60) day period after the end of the contract term, then Shipper shall pay to Transporter an amount equal to Five Dollars ($5.00) per Dekatherm times the Allowable Overrun Gas.

22.3  The obligation to make overrun payments for an unauthorized overrun quantity shall not under any circumstances be considered as giving any Shipper the right to take or cause to be taken unauthorized overrun quantities nor shall such payment be considered as a substitute for any other remedies available to Transporter or any other Shipper against the offending Shipper for failure to respect its obligation to adhere to the provisions of its contract(s) with Transporter.

22.4  Transporter shall have no liability to any person on account of a Shipper's failure on any day to receive delivery of the quantity of natural gas to which it was entitled under its contracts with Transporter where such failure was caused by the taking of an unauthorized overrun quantity by another Shipper.

23.  UNAUTHORIZED MONTHLY UNDERRUN AT DELIVERY POINT AND REMEDY

23.1  If during any month the sum of Shipper's Equivalent Quantities for each Delivery Point for each day of such month exceeds the gas actually taken by Shipper during such month at any such Delivery Point, said quantity shall constitute an unauthorized underrun quantity.  Within 25 days of the end of the month in which such unauthorized underrun quantities accrued Transporter shall send Shipper notice of such unauthorized underrun quantities. 

23.2  Within thirty‑five (35) days of the date of the Transporter's notice to Shipper of the unauthorized underrun quantity, Shipper shall correct such unauthorized underrun.  If Shipper fails to correct such unauthorized underrun within such thirty‑five (35) day period, then Shipper shall pay to Transporter the amounts set forth below.  If the unauthorized underrun quantity occurs during a period in which it does not adversely affect reliability of service or adversely impair pipeline integrity, the underrun payment to Transporter shall be equal to two times the maximum interruptible rate for the system affected plus the Fuel and Use Quantity.  If the unauthorized underrun occurs during a period in which it adversely affects reliability of service or adversely impairs pipeline integrity, the unauthorized underrun payment to Transporter shall be equal to Two Dollars ($2.00) times the unauthorized underrun quantity which is in excess of 1550 Dekatherms or ten percent (10%) of the sum of the scheduled Equivalent Quantities for such month, whichever is greater.  Shipper shall take delivery of such unauthorized underrun quantity within sixty‑five (65) days after such notice.  If Shipper fails to take delivery of such unauthorized underrun quantity within such sixty‑five (65) day period, then Shipper shall pay to Transporter an amount equal to Two Dollars ($2.00) per Dekatherm times the unauthorized underrun quantity for such period and for each additional thirty (30) day period that such gas stays on the system.

		23.3     Imbalance penalties hereunder are based upon the difference between actual receipts and actual deliveries, rather than scheduled quantities.

24.   INCORPORATION IN RATE SCHEDULES AND GAS TRANSPORTATION CONTRACTS

These General Terms and Conditions are incorporated in and are a part of Transporter's Rate Schedules and gas transportation contracts.

25.  SERVICE AGREEMENT

Shipper(s) shall enter into a contract with Transporter in the form of a service agreement which will be filed with the FERC.  The service request form and executed service contract, including the effective Schedule 1, together with these General Terms and Conditions and applicable rate schedules, shall constitute the entire agreement between the parties for gas transportation service and shall only be modified in writing.

26.  CREDITWORTHINESS

OkTex may initiate a creditworthiness re-evaluation for any shipper.  Transporter shall not be required to initiate service on behalf of any Shipper or perform or, subject to the receipt of any necessary regulatory authorization, to continue service on behalf of any Shipper who is or has become insolvent or who, at Transporter's request, fails within a fifteen (15) day period to demonstrate creditworthiness, provided, however, Shipper may receive service if Shipper prepays for such service or furnishes good and sufficient security (as determined by Transporter in the exercise of reasonable discretion) in an amount equal to the cost of performing the service requested by Shipper for a two (2) month period.  For the purpose of this section, the insolvency of a Shipper shall be evidenced by the filing by Shipper or any parent entity thereof (for purposes of this Section 26 referred to collectively as "Shipper") of a voluntary petition in bankruptcy or the entry of a decree or order by a court having jurisdiction over the premises adjudging Shipper bankrupt or insolvent or approving, as properly filed, a petition seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition or in respect of the Shipper under the Federal Bankruptcy Act or any other applicable federal or state law or appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator (or other similar official) of the Shipper or of any substantial part of its property or the ordering of the winding-up or liquidation of its affairs, with said order or decree continuing unstayed and in effect for a period of sixty (60) consecutive days.

30.2  In accordance with NAESB WGQ Standard Nos. 4.3.22, 4.3.23, 4.3.24, 4.3.25, 4.3.26, 4.3.27, and 4.3.28, Transporter has established an Informational Postings Web site for use by any party, including Shippers and potential shippers.  The Informational Postings Web site is available on a nondiscriminatory basis to any party that has compatible equipment for electronic transmission of data, provided that such party agrees to comply with the procedures for access to and for use of the Informational Postings Web site.  

30.3  The Informational Postings Web site will, to the extent necessary, permit users to electronically download a file(s) from the Informational Postings Web site and split extremely large files into smaller files prior to such download.  Transporter will maintain and retain daily back-up records of the information displayed on the Informational Postings Web site for three (3) years and permit users to review those records, which will be archived and reasonably accessible.  Transporter will periodically purge transactions from current Informational Postings Web site files when transactions have been completed.  Information on the most recent entries will appear ahead of older information.

30.4  A user has the option to utilize the Informational Postings Web site for the purposes of (a) requesting service and tracking service agreements; (b) exercising its rights as an existing Shipper of Transporter pursuant to Section 32 of the General Terms and Conditions or submitting a bid as a potential shipper of Transporter under such article; or (c) participating in Transporter's capacity release program pursuant to Section 33 of the General Terms and Conditions.

30.5  Transporter shall inform, on a timely basis via the Informational Postings Web site, all interested persons about the availability of firm and interruptible capacity (a) at receipt points; (b) on each pipeline segment, and (c) at delivery points, and whether such capacity is available directly from the Transporter or indirectly from Transporter's capacity release program.

30.8  Transporter, on the effective date of and pursuant to Section 33 of the General Terms and Conditions, will post on the Informational Postings Web site for a reasonable time the price, terms and conditions, and names of the parties to all capacity release and assignment agreements existing on that date.  All firm capacity holders who have executed such agreements prior to that date must provide such information to the Transporter for posting on the Informational Postings Web site.  Such posting is to make those agreements public and not to prompt potential shippers to submit a bid for such capacity.  

30.9  Transporter will provide access to an on‑line, read‑only copy of its currently effective FERC Gas Tariff, including the General Terms and Conditions via the Informational Postings Web site.

30.10  Any provisions of this FERC Gas Tariff requiring that these matters be written or in writing are satisfied by either Shipper or Transporter utilizing electronic transmission through the Informational Postings Web site in accordance with the procedures for utilization of the Informational Postings Web site when subsequently verified by a timely signed writing.  All other provisions requiring items or information to be written or in writing remain unchanged.

30.11  In order to access Transporter's Customer Activities Web site, Shipper must contact Transporter.  If requested, Transporter will provide the address, telephone number, and user fees of Transporter's Customer Activities Web site service provider.

30.12  Transporter is the exclusive proprietor of the Customer Activities Web site and of all the copyrights and proprietary interests therein, except insofar as any third party possesses a copyright or proprietary interest in such materials.  Shipper will not by virtue of this Article or the executed Customer Activities Web site Agreement acquire any proprietary interests in the Customer Activities Web site or its files.  Although Transporter is not the proprietor of certain data and information contained in the files of the Customer Activities Web site, Shipper will use the Customer Activities Web site for research purposes only and will not publish, broadcast, sell, or use any material received from the Customer Activities Web site in any manner of fashion that may infringe any copyrights or proprietary interests Transporter or any third party may have in the Customer Activities Web site and materials included therein.

30.13  Shipper assumes sole responsibility for all use of the Customer Activities and/or Informational Postings Web sites and hereby indemnifies and holds Transporter harmless against and liability or claim of any person that is attributed to improper use of the Customer Activities/Informational Postings Web sites by Shipper.  In no event will Transporter be liable to Shipper for consequential, exemplary, or special damages resulting, in whole or in part, from Shipper's use of the Customer Activities/Informational Postings Web sites.

30.14  Transporter's employees are not authorized to assist Shipper in framing a search request.  If, notwithstanding the foregoing, a Shipper requests and/or receives assistance from Transporter employees in framing a search request, such assistance will be at Shipper's risk and Transporter will not have any responsibility or liability arising therefrom.  For the purposes of this Article, "framing a search request" shall mean the process by which a Shipper identifies the research problem, selects the words, phrases, or numbers to be searched upon, and determines the relationship to each other of such words, phrases, and numbers and the order in which they are to be submitted.

30.15  Transporter warrants that, without the express consent of Shipper or as provided for in Section 32 or 33 of the General Terms and Conditions, no Transporter's employee or agent will disclose to any third party any information regarding research performed through the use of the Informational Postings Web site by Shipper.

31.  FERC ANNUAL CHARGE ADJUSTMENT

ACA Adjustment.  The rates set forth in Rate Schedules FTS and ITS shall be adjusted from time to time to reflect the annual charge assessed Transporter by the FERC pursuant to Order No. 472 or any other superseding rule or order.

(a) The current ACA Adjustment shall be the unit amount, adjusted as necessary for heating value and pressure base, which the FERC orders to be effective for the fiscal year commencing on the effective date of the adjustment, as published on the Commission’s web site located at http://www.ferc.gov.  

(b)  Transporter shall retain all revenues collected under this Section 31.  Except as provided by this Section 31 Seller shall not have the right to seek to recover in any proceeding under Section 4(e) of the Natural Gas Act any such revenues recorded in its FERC Account No. 928.

32.  PROCEDURES FOR AVOIDANCE OF PREGRANTED ABANDONMENT

32.1  To the extent a Shipper satisfies the bid matching requirements of this Section 32 or Transporter and Shipper reach agreement as contemplated by Section 32.7 of  Section 32, such Customer may retain its capacity and continue to receive firm service under a long‑term firm service agreement under Schedule FTS at its previously agreed rates.  If Shipper does not satisfy the bid matching requirements of this Section 32 or Transporter and Shipper do not reach agreement as contemplated by Section 32.7 of Section 32, Shipper shall no longer have, as the effective date of Transporter's notice of termination and Transporter shall have all necessary abandonment authorizations under the Natural Gas Act.  This Section 32 is not applicable and Shipper shall have no rights hereunder to the extent the long‑term service agreement is terminated by Shipper during the restructuring proceedings.

Short‑term service agreements under an Rate Schedule FTS are not subject to the abandonment of this Section 32.  Upon termination of a short‑term service agreement, Transporter shall have all necessary abandonment authorization under the Natural Gas Act.

32.2  Transporter shall give Shipper notice of termination of the long‑term service agreement at least ninety (90) but no more than one hundred twenty (120) days prior to the termination date of such agreement.  When Transporter provides a notice of termination of a long‑term service agreement under Rate Schedule FTS, within ten (10) days of the issuance by Transporter of such notice of termination, Transporter shall post on its IPP  the following information:

(a) Points of Receipt and Points of Delivery,
(b) the specific quantity available under the terminated contract,
(c) the date of expiration,
(d) the current maximum rate applicable to the terminated service.

32.3  The deadline for the submission of bids from potential shippers, who desire service to be provided in whole or in part by the capacity to be made available upon termination of a long‑term service agreement, shall be the last day of the month following the month in which Transporter posts an applicable notice pursuant to Section 32. 2 of this Section 32.  To be a valid bid, a bid must comply with the bud requirements set forth in Section 32.4 of this Section 32.  At the close of such bidding period, Transporter shall select among the valid bids the "best bid", as determined pursuant to Section 32.5 of this Section 32, and shall relay the relevant terms of such "best bid" to the Shipper whose long‑term service agreement is being terminated by Transporter.  If Shipper elects to match, as determined by Section 32.6 of this Section 32, the "best bid", the Shipper shall be entitled to retain its capacity and continue to receive firm service under a long‑term firm service agreement which reflects the matching of the relevant terms of the "best bid."  If Shipper does not match the "best bid", then Shipper's existing long‑term service agreement shall terminate and Transporter shall have all necessary abandonment authorization under the Natural Gas Act.  In the event there is no "best bid" for Shipper to match, Section 32.7 of the Section 32shall determine whether Shipper shall be entitled to retain its capacity and continue to receive service.

32.4  To be a valid bid, the potential customer must provide all information in the format contained in the applicable Section 2.2 of FTS Rate Schedule of Transporter's Tariff, Volume No.  1.  In addition, the potential shipper must pay Transporter a bona fide prepayment equal to the lesser of ten thousand dollars ($10,000.00) or one (1) month's prepayment of the Monthly Demand Charge determined based on the potential shipper's requested price and the desired contractual quantity.  If such potential shipper's bid is accepted by Transporter and is not matched by the existing Shipper then, upon commencement of service, the bona fide prepayment shall be credited to such potential shipper's initial invoice for such service rendered.  If potential shipper's bid is matched or if the potential shipper fails to satisfy all of Transporter's tariff provisions governing Shipper eligibility, Transporter will refund the potential shipper's bona fide prepayment.  The bona fide prepayment will not be refunded if the bid is withdrawn by the potential shipper.  Transporter may reject all bids which would require Transporter to discount below a rate and discount term agreeable to Transporter, such rejections shall be made in a nondiscriminatory manner.

32.5  Transporter shall review all bids from potential shippers received pursuant to Section 32.3 of this Section 32 which have not been rejected by Transporter, to determine which bid is the "best bid."  For purposes of this Section 32, the "best bid" shall be the bid which yields to Transporter the highest net present value.  Net present value shall be calculated on the basis of the present value of the Monthly Demand Charge per unit to Transporter. Such net present value shall be determined by discounting the per unit amount using a discount rate equal to Transporter's allowed overall rate of return applied over the term of potential shipper's bid.

32.6  Upon request from Transporter of the "best bid", Shipper shall have the right for a thirty (30) day period in which to notify Transporter whether the Shipper is willing to match the "best bid."  Failure to notify Transporter with thirty (30) day period constitutes a non-revocable waiver of Shipper's right to match the "best bid."  In order to match the "best bid" or a rate greater than the rate set forth in the "best bid" and agree to execute a service agreement for a contract term equal to the contract term set forth in the "best bid", provided, however, the maximum rate an existing Shipper must match is the maximum rate Transporter can charge for delivery to the existing Shipper's Point of Delivery.

32.7  In the event Transporter does not receive any bids pursuant to Section 32.3 of this Section 32 or Transporter rejects all bids received due to the fact that such bids were premised on rate discount levels or rate discount terms unacceptable to Transporter, Transporter and Shipper may mutually agree upon the terms and conditions under which Shipper shall be entitled to retain its capacity and continue to receive service.  Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, so long as the Shipper agrees to pay Transporter's maximum rate, the Shipper may retain its firm transportation service.  In no event shall Transporter and Shipper agree upon terms which yields to Transporter a net present value less than any bid received pursuant to Section 32.3 of this Section 32 and rejected by Transporter.  In the event Transporter and Shipper have not reached agreement on the terms and conditions under which service will be extended for Shipper before the date which is one hundred twenty (120) days prior to the date of termination of the long-term service agreement, then Transporter shall have all necessary abandonment authorization under the Natural Gas Act as of the date of termination of the long-term service agreement.

33.  CAPACITY RELEASE 

33.1   Transporter will provide a firm capacity release mechanism pursuant to this Section 33 through which existing Shippers can voluntarily release and assign all or part of their firm transportation capacity rights to a potential shipper that wants to obtain that capacity by contracting with Transporter.  Shippers may release and assign their firm transportation capacity on Transporter (Part 284 capacity) only under this Section 33 of the General Terms and Conditions.  Individually certificated capacity cannot be released hereunder.  Transporter will provide volumetric releases in accordance with NAESB WGQ Standard No. 5.3.5.  A capacity release with a term of one year or less and the release is to take effect on or before one year from the date on which the Shipper notifies the Transporter of the release may exceed the maximum rates for the applicable service being released as set forth on the applicable currently effective tariff sections.  The rate paid by Shipper for these releases will be deemed to be a final rate and is not subject to refund.

33.2  Transporter's Shippers under Rate Schedule FTS are permitted to release their capacity, in whole or in part, on a permanent or temporary basis, on a firm or interruptible basis, provided Shipper complies with the applicable provisions of this Section 33.  Such existing Shipper may propose a potential shipper to obtain its released capacity from Transporter.

33.3  A firm Shipper that wants to release any or all of its firm capacity must submit (1) a Shipper's Form (Schedule A, attached hereto) to the Transporter, or (2) the information required therein electronically via the Customer Activities Web site (hereinafter referred to as "Shipper's Notice").  If the Shipper is willing to accept contingent bids for such release capacity, the Shipper shall advise the Transporter in detail of the contingencies (in form, content and operation) that are acceptable.  Shipper shall also advise Transporter whether, or for what time period, the next highest bidder will be obligated to acquire the capacity should the winning contingent bidder exercise its option not to take the capacity.  Pursuant to NAESB WGQ Standard No. 5.3.19, Transporter shall allow re‑releases on the same terms and basis as the primary release (except as prohibited by regulations and Section 33.17).

33.4  Except as provided in Sections 33.17 and 33.18, all Shippers' Notice(s) will be posted on Transporter's Informational Postings Web site in accordance with the provisions of Section 33.20.  Transporter may take other action to market any released capacity.  The Shipper may search for any party to take its capacity both before and after the capacity is posted on the Informational Postings Web site.  However, a capacity release cannot be consummated until after it is posted.  Contracting is done directly with Transporter.  Transporter will post on its Informational Postings Web site its available firm or interruptible capacity and the terms and conditions applicable to such capacity.  Potential shippers may elect, in their discretion, to contract for Transporter's uncommitted firm capacity, the released capacity or interruptible capacity.  

For the recall notification provided to Transporter, Transporter's Tariff shall specify whether the quantity should be expressed in terms of (i) total released capacity entitlements or (ii) adjusted total released capacity entitlements based upon the Elapsed Prorata Capacity.  The capacity entitlements resulting from the use of either (i) or (ii) should be the same. [5.3.55]  The recall notification to Transporter shall specify the quantity in terms of total released capacity entitlements.  

Transporter shall support the following recall notification periods for all released capacity subject to recall rights (all times are CCT pursuant to NAESB WGQ Standard No. 0.3.17) [5.3.44].

-	Transporter shall provide notification of such recall to all affected Replacement Shippers no later than 5:00 p.m. on the day that Intraday 3 Nominations are due.

There should be no partial day recalls of capacity.  Transporter shall support the function of reputting by Releasing Shippers. [5.3.7]  

33.5   The Releasing Shipper shall specify which one of the following methods is acceptable for bidding on a given capacity release Offer [5.3.26]:

Non-Index-based release – dollars and cents,
Non-Index-based release – percentage of maximum rate, or
Index-based formula as detailed in the capacity release offer.

The Bids for the given capacity release Offer shall adhere to the method specified by the Releasing Shipper.  [5.3.26]

Except as provided in Sections 33.17 and 33.18, a potential shipper that wants to bid for any or all of a Shipper's released capacity must submit (1) a Bidder's Form (Schedule C, attached hereto) to the Transporter or the information required therein electronically via the Informational Postings Web site (hereinafter referred to as "Bid Notice").  All Bid Notices will be posted on Transporter's Informational Postings Web site in accordance with the provision of Section 33.20.  A potential shipper may withdraw its bid at anytime prior to 5:00 p.m. on the ninth business day prior to the beginning date of the release period.   

Pursuant to NAESB WGQ Standard Nos. 5.3.12, 5.3.13, 5.3.14, 5.3.15, 5.3.16, and 5.3.25:  Bids and Offers shall be complete before being posted.  Only posted Offers and Bids shall be available electronically.  Bids shall be binding until notice of withdrawal is received by Transporter on its Customer Activities Web site.  Offers shall be binding until notice of withdrawal is received by Transporter on its Customer Activities Web site.  Bids cannot be withdrawn after the bid period ends.  The releasing party has the right to withdraw its Offer during the bid period, where unanticipated circumstances justify and no minimum Bid has been made.  A Releasing Shipper shall not be able to specify an extension of the original bid period or the pre‑arranged deal match period, without posting a new release.  

Once a bid is withdrawn, then the potential shipper may not submit another bid at a lower price; the potential shipper may submit another bid at a higher price, but such bid must be submitted prior to close of bid period. 

33.6   At the close of the Bid Period as provided in Section 33.20, Transporter shall select among the bids received pursuant to Section 33 from potential shippers the "best bid", as determined by Shipper's designated methodology, or if no methodology specified by the Shipper then the best bid will be determined in accordance with Section 32.5.  

For the capacity release business process timing model, only the following methodologies are required to be supported by Transporter and provided to Releasing Shippers as choices from which they may select and, once chosen, shall be used in determining the Awards from the Bid(s) submitted.  They are: 1) highest rate, 2) net revenue and 3) present value.  For index-based capacity release transactions, the Releasing Shipper shall provide the necessary information and instructions to support the chosen methodology. [5.3.3]  

Other choices of bid evaluation methodology (including other Releasing Shipper defined evaluation methodologies) can be accorded similar timeline evaluation treatment at the discretion of Transporter.  However, Transporter is not required to offer other choices or similar timeline treatment for other choices, nor, is Transporter held to the timeline should the Releasing Shipper elect another method of evaluation. [5.3.3] 

Transporter will give any potential shipper found by the Shipper an opportunity to match or exceed the "best bid" via the Informational Postings Web site in accordance with Section 33.20.  If the potential shipper matches the "best bid", the released capacity will be allocated to the potential shipper who submitted the "best bid" first in time.  For purposes of the preceding sentence, all "best bids" submitted shall be allocated to the potential shipper who submitted the "best bid" first in time.  When Transporter makes awards of capacity for which there have been multiple Bids meeting minimum conditions, Transporter shall award the Bids, best Bid first, until all offered capacity is awarded. [5.3.4]

33.7   Transporter shall notify the potential shipper(s) selected in accordance with Section 33.20 of the acceptance of its bid ("winning bid") and provide notice to all bidders of the "winning bid" via the Informational Postings Web site in accordance with Section 33.20.  The notice posted to the Informational Postings Web site will contain all of the information submitted in selected potential shipper's Bid Notice.  

Pursuant to NAESB WGQ Standard Nos. 5.3.8, 5.3.28 and 5.3.29:  Reput methods and rights shall be specified at the time of the deal.  Reput method and rights are individually negotiated between the Releasing Shipper and Replacement Shipper.  Release quantity shall be expressed as a numeric quantity only.  Basis for released quantity shall be per day for transportation, storage injection, storage withdrawal, and a per‑release quantity for storage capacity and total release period quantity.  

Transporter shall post Offers and Bids, including prearranged deals, upon receipt.  A Releasing Shipper may request a later posting time for posting of such Offer, and Transporter shall support such request insofar as it comports with the standard Capacity Release timeline specified in NAESB WGQ Standard No. 5.3.2. [5.3.24]  

Pursuant to NAESB WGQ Standard Nos. 5.3.10 and 5.3.11:  Transporter shall support the creation of prearranged deals on Transporter's Customer Activities Web site.  Replacement Shipper initiates confirmations of prearranged deals electronically.

33.8  Transporter will be required to post Shipper's Notices of release as set forth on Section 33.20 and will maintain such posting until the best bid is determined and posted on the Informational Postings Web site and the winner is notified and to otherwise comply with the provisions of this Article.  If the potential shipper satisfied all of Transporter's tariff provisions governing Shipper eligibility and his bid is accepted by the existing Shipper, Transporter will execute the applicable service agreement with the potential shipper in accordance with Section 33.20.  Less than maximum rate transactions will adhere to NAESB WGQ Standard No. 5.3.22.  For amendments to individual releases refer to NAESB WGQ Standard No. 5.3.9.

33.9  The service agreement of the existing Shipper releasing capacity will remain in full force and effect, with a portion of the proceeds attributable to any release and assignment credited to the releasing Shipper's Monthly Demand Charge as provided in Section 33.9.  The releasing Shipper's liability to the Transporter is, however, limited during the term of any capacity release to the applicable demand charges and related surcharges.

33.10  Capacity Release historical data shall be made available on a consistent basis from Transporter, which shall provide for retrieval of open and closed Offers during the FERC archival period. [5.3.20]

33.11  The potential shipper must satisfy all of Transporter's tariff provisions governing Shipper eligibility before it may contract with Transporter for the released capacity.  Once the potential shipper enters into a service agreement with Transporter, the potential shipper becomes a Shipper like any other Shipper and is subject to the Transporter's operational provisions as stated in this tariff.  In addition, the potential shipper as a Shipper may also release its capacity pursuant to this Article.

33.12  Transporter shall credit the invoice of the releasing Shipper the proceeds actually received by Transporter attributable to capacity rights released by the releasing Shipper, less any administrative fees set forth in Sections 33.13 and 33.14.

33.13  Transporter shall not be paid any administrative fee for capacity release hereunder.  Refer to NAESB WGQ Standard No. 5.3.23 for the adjustment of tariff rates.

33.14  Transporter shall be entitled to retain 15% of the Monthly Demand Charge for each month paid by a potential shipper for capacity released by a Shipper when such Shipper requests Transporter takes action to market released capacity beyond posting the information on the Informational Postings Web site and locates the potential shipper.  Transporter will not be compensated, however, if it does not locate the potential shipper, such as when the Shipper has a pre‑arranged deal or where a potential shipper accepts a posted Shipper Notice without Transporter actively marketing that released capacity.  Pursuant to NAESB WGQ Standard No. 5.3.21, on the bidding formats, the number of decimal places for Offers, Bids, and Awards shall be equal to the number of decimal places in the stated rates per pipeline rate schedule.

33.15  Once the conditions of this Tariff are met and the terms and conditions specified in the existing Shipper's offer to release are met, the potential shipper and Transporter will execute an applicable service agreement and the potential shipper will then be considered as any other Shipper on Transporter's system.  This service agreement will be available via the Informational Postings Web site, and shall be executed and returned to the Transporter in accordance with Section 33.20.

33.16  Except as provided in Section 33.17, any assignment under this Section 33 shall be for monthly periods with a minimum of at least one month, beginning at any time during a month, and shall be for a maximum period expiring on the earlier of (1) the expiration date of these tariff provisions, or (2) the expiration of the agreement that is assigned when the assignment is for the full term of such agreement.

33.17  A Shipper may release any or all of its firm capacity for any period thirty-one (31) days or less without complying with the notification and bidding requirements of this Section 33 where such Shipper has located a party to take its capacity and the release is posted by the Shipper on the Informational Postings Web site as soon as possible, but not later than the first nomination, after the release transaction commences.  Such Shipper may not rollover, extend, or in any way continue a release under this Section to the same party, unless Shipper complies with the notification and bidding requirements of this Section 33, or the party qualifies for any of the other exemptions from the notification and bidding requirements pursuant to Section 33.18.

	(b)  the release of capacity is to a marketer participating in a state-regulated retail access program as defined in 18 C.F.R. § 284.8(h)(4); or

	(c)   the release of capacity is for more than one year at the applicable maximum rate for the applicable firm transportation service being released.

Notice of the prearranged releases that qualify under this Section must be posted by the Shipper on the Informational Postings Web site as soon as possible, but not later than the first nomination after the release transaction commences.  This posting shall conform to NAESB WGQ Standards.  In addition, for releases to an asset manager the posting should include the volumetric level of the asset manager's delivery or purchase obligation and the time periods during which that obligation is in effect.  The posting should also include whether the release is to a marketer participating in a state-regulated retail access program.

33.19  The capacity release timeline applies to all parties involved in the capacity release process provided that [5.3.1]:

	(a) all information provided by the parties to the transaction is valid and the acquiring          shipper has been determined to be credit-worthy before the capacity release bid is tendered 

(b) for index-based capacity release transactions, the Releasing Shipper has provided Transporter with sufficient instructions to evaluate the corresponding bid(s) according to the timeline, and

(c) there are no special terms or conditions of the release.

34.  PENALTY REVENUE CREDITING

Except for the penalty payments pursuant to 2 of this section one hundred percent (100%) of all penalty revenues received by Transporter during any applicable month will be credited to non-penalized Shippers. Such credits will be allocated to all non-penalized Shippers under Rate Schedule FTS or ITS, except each penalty revenue credit applicable to unauthorized overrun or underrun penalties shall be allocated only to those specified Shippers who were not assessed an unauthorized overrun or underrun penalty on the day for which such penalty revenues are to be credited. The penalty revenue credits will be allocated to the specified Shippers pro rata in proportion to reservation revenue (total revenue, net of credits from capacity releases, less volumetric charges and all surcharges) received by Transporter from each and all of the specified Shippers for each applicable month. Such penalty revenue credits shall be reflected as a credit billing adjustment to each March billing for credits accrued during the prior calendar year. In the event that such credit billing adjustments would result in a credit total invoice to any Shipper, Transporter will refund the credit billing adjustment to the Shipper by check within 15 days after determination of the amount of the credit due to the Shipper.

35.  OPERATIONAL FLOW ORDERS

35.1  Operational Flow Orders (OFO) will be issued when required for the maintenance or expansion of the system.  Notice of an OFO that is not for emergency repair purposes, will be issued no less than three (3) days prior to the scheduled start date of the OFO.  

35.2  Operational Flow Orders (OFO) that are issued on an emergency basis will be communicated as quickly as OkTex is aware of the emergency.

35.3   Notice of an OFO will include the reason for the OFO, the scheduled start date and time, and the anticipated completion date and time. If the OFO extends longer than twenty-four (24) hours, OkTex will issue updates on the status of the OFO and the expected return to service every twenty-four (24) hours. Notice will be given by facsimile transmission and by posting a notice on the web site.

36.  SEGMENTATION

36.1  A Shipper may segment its firm capacity to the extent operationally feasible. In addition, any Shipper may segment its firm capacity in releasing to a Replacement Shipper to the extent operationally feasible. A Shipper segmenting its own firm capacity shall effectuate such segmentation through the nomination process under this Section. A Shipper may release firm capacity on a segmented basis to the extent consistent with this Section by following the procedures set out in Section 33 of these General Terms and Conditions.

36.2  For the purposes of this Section, a segmentation of firm capacity (whether of Shipper's own capacity or on release)shall be deemed operationally feasible unless:  (i) the segmentation would result in an increase in firm contractual obligation by Transporter on any segment or portion of its system; or (ii) the segmentation would result in a physical haul in a direction opposite to the primary path under the Agreement being segmented, absent a determination by Transporter that it can physically perform the segmentation as requested; (iii) transportation obligation on a segment of pipe with respect to which the transporter is not otherwise obligated to provide transportation service to the shipper requesting segmentation of capacity. Transporter will communicate its determination under (ii) above within two (2) hours after the Shipper requests such segmentation. 

36.3  In the event a path is segmented, the secondary points upstream or downstream shall be equally available to each Shipper so long as the combined nominations of the releasing and replacement shippers on any segment of the pipeline do not exceed original contract demand.

36.4 The direction of flow for path segments must be the same direction of flow for the original path. The Shipper (or Replacement Shipper in the case of a release) may nominate service at Receipt and Delivery Points for the path segment that results in a reverse flow from the original path; however, a physical forward-haul will be subject to maximum forward-haul rates if the original path is physically a back-haul, unless otherwise agreed to in writing. Subject to available capacity, forward-hauls and back-hauls to the same point on a transportation path will be permitted. If a discount applies to the original point, the discount will continue to be applied to the extent a similarly situated shipper is receiving a discount at the alternate point. Transporter will respond to any requests for a discount within two (2) days of such request.

36.5  Subject to the availability of firm capacity at the primary point(s), a Shipper, a Replacement Shipper or a Sub-replacement Shipper may change the primary Receipt or Delivery Points listed in the Agreement to new primary point(s) unless Transporter determines that it is not operationally feasible. The new primary point(s) must be within the original primary path of the Agreement if it is all within the same discrete pipeline. Transporter shall not be obligated to reserve firm capacity to reinstate the former primary points upon expiration of the segmentation or the capacity release if such firm capacity has been contracted for by another party.

36.6  Transporter will afford a higher priority for mainline capacity to shippers seeking to use mainline capacity outside of their path, unless Transporter can demonstrate that such priority is operationally infeasible or leads to anti-competitive outcomes on its system.  Discounts shall apply to points or transportation paths being segmented only to the extent Transporter explicitly specifies in writing that such discount shall apply.

36.7  To the extent segmentation results in an increase of a Shipper's or Replacement Shipper's firm contract rights and Transporter schedules and confirms that increase in firm contract rights, the Shipper or Replacement Shipper that caused such increase in firm contract rights overlap will be subject to an overrun charge pursuant to Sections 21 and 22 of the General Terms and Conditions, except as provided in subsection 36.4 of this Section 36.

36.8 Transporter reserves the right to evaluate and disallow segmentation on its system on a case-by-case basis for those situations that are not operationally feasible and not already described in this Section.  Disallowance of segmentation requests will be made on a non-discriminatory basis. Transporter will post in its Internet web site within 10 business days, the explanation for any disallowance of segmentation not specifically described in this Tariff.

37.  THIRD PARTY IMBALANCE MANAGEMENT

Transporter shall allow Shippers to obtain imbalance management services from Third Party Providers in accordance with 18 C.F.R. 284.12(c) (2) (iii), subject to the following provisions regarding coordination between Transporter and any Third Party Provider:

37.1 The imbalance management services offered and provided by a Third Party Provider will be limited to balancing services for Shippers on Transporter's system.

37.2  Transporter will not allow a Third Party Provider to provide an imbalance management service that would cause either a Shipper(s) or Transporter to participate in an activity that is in violation of any other Section of Transporter's FERC Gas Tariff.

37.3 Transporter will not allow a Third Party Provider to provide a service which involves the resale and/or repackaging of an existing balancing service offered by Transporter if the resale and/or repackaging would create a greater obligation on Transporter or other Shippers than existed prior to the resale and/or repackaging.

37.4  Prior to offering Imbalance Management Services on Transporter's facilities, a Third Party Provider must provide Transporter with the following information:

(a) a clear definition of the operational changes the Third Party Provider will effectuate at points on Transporter's pipeline system in order to offset the operational effects on Transporter of imbalances and quantification of the extent to which such imbalances will be resolved through the provisions of Third Party Imbalance Management Service;

(b) a description of Transporter's facilities to be used by the Third Party Provider to effectuate the imbalance services, including the points of interconnect (delivery and/or receipt points) between Third Party's facilities and Transporter's pipeline system by which the Third Party Provider will effect changes on Transporter's pipeline system, subject to the following:  (i) bi-directional flow must be available at the delivery and/or receipt  points to be utilized to provide Imbalance Management Services, and (ii) the Third Party Provider must have the ability to deliver gas to and receive gas from Transporter's pipeline system in order to provide a physical balancing service, i.e., a -papertransaction will not qualify as a Third Party imbalance management service;

(c) the method by which the Third Party Provider will give a timely notice of the nature and level of imbalance services to be provided by it to Shippers on Transporter's pipeline system on any given day;

(d) a certification by the Third Party Provider that, if applicable, its service will be provided pursuant to all applicable NAESB standards including without limitation time lines, notices and data sets;

(e) a copy of Third Party Provider's Imbalance Services Agreement with Transporter's Shipper; 

37.5  a Third Party Provider must agree to indemnify Transporter for any costs, expenses or liabilities which might arise or accrue against Transporter due to the imbalance management services provided by the Third Party Provider.

37.6  a Third Party Provider must agree to post a performance bond or other evidence of its ability to perform the imbalance services.

37.7  a Third Party Provider must execute with Transporter a Transportation or Storage Service Agreement as necessary to perform the Third Party Imbalance Management Service on Transporter's pipeline system.

37.8  To the event a Third Party Provider offers an imbalance management service which is subject to the Commission's jurisdiction the Third Party Provider must obtain the necessary Commission approval to provide the service (including, but not limited to, certification, tariff approval, established rates) prior to commencing imbalance management services for Shippers on Transporter's pipeline system.

37.9  In the event a Shipper purchases third party imbalance management services,the Third Party Provider fails in whole or in part to provide those services, and an imbalance results, to the extent of such failure Shipper will be deemed to have no imbalance management service and Shipper will pay Transporter a penalty in an amount pursuant to Sections 20, 21, 22, 23 of the General Terms and Conditions, plus any additional costs incurred by Transporter to provide the services.

38.  NETTING AND TRADING OF IMBALANCES

When applicable at the end of each Month, to the extent unauthorized quantities are recognized pursuant to Sections 20, 21, 22, and 23 of the General Terms and Conditions, the following transportation fees and netting and trading procedures will apply:

	38.1  Unauthorized Quantities under a Customer's different Service Agreements will be netted together to obtain the Customer's Total Monthly Imbalance ("TMI").  The TMI will be shown with the monthly billings sent to Customers.  To facilitate the trading or offsetting of a Customer's TMI, OkTex will post on its electronic bulletin board, on or before the ninth business day of the month, the TMI of any Customer that has not notified OkTex in writing that the Customer does not elect to have that information posted.  Customers or their agents may then trade offsetting imbalances to OkTex with Customers 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 OkTex in writing on or before the seventeenth business day of the month; otherwise, such trade shall not be effective.  Any Customer's unauthorized quantity remaining after the Trading Period will be charged a penalty pursuant to the provisions of Sections 20, 21, 22, and 23 of the General Terms and Conditions.

	38.2  The netting of imbalances does not relieve Customer of the obligation to pay all transportation charges for the quantity of gas actually delivered to Customer during the month.
