NTS-S RATE SCHEDULE
SUMMER HOURLY NO-NOTICE TRANSPORTATION SERVICE (Cont'd)
(h) Unless otherwise designated by Shipper when scheduling service under this Rate Schedule in
conjunction with service under Rate Schedules FSS or SIT, on any Day that Shipper has a GSQ Balance equal to
or less than zero, but greater than a negative balance not exceeding twice the Shipper's Transportation
Demand, Shipper shall be deemed to have made a GSQ Draw to the extent that its actual deliveries under this
Rate Schedule, as determined in accordance with Section 8 (Meter Allocations) of the General Terms and
Conditions, exceed Shipper's Scheduled Daily Receipt Quantity, less Retainage. Shipper's GSQ Draws may not (i)
on any Day exceed Shipper's then current GSQ Balance, or Shipper's Transportation Demand, or (ii) in the
aggregate exceed Shipper's GSQ. If Shipper's GSQ Balance exceeds a negative number that is two times the
Transportation Demand specified in Shipper's NTS-S Service Agreement, Shipper shall not take and Transporter
shall not be obligated to deliver quantities in excess of the lesser of (i) Shipper's Scheduled Daily Delivery
Quantity, or (ii) the quantities actually received by Transporter for Shipper, less Retainage.
(i) Shipper shall tender to Transporter under this Rate Schedule quantities of gas sufficient to
replace any GSQ Draws, and thereby fully replenish its GSQ to reach a GSQ balance of zero, no later than the
last Day of the Month immediately following the Month in which the GSQ Draws were taken. Such replenishment
gas shall be scheduled under Shipper's applicable transportation Service Agreement as "GSQ Replenishment."
Unless otherwise designated by Shipper when scheduling service under this Rate Schedule in conjunction with
service under Rate Schedules FSS or SIT, Shipper shall be deemed to have replenished its GSQ to the extent
that its actual deliveries under this Rate Schedule, as determined in accordance with Section 8 (Meter
Allocations) of the General Terms and Conditions, are less than Shipper's Scheduled Daily Receipt Quantity,
less Retainage. If Shipper's GSQ Draws are not replaced in a timely manner, the penalty provisions under this
Rate Schedule shall apply.
(j) Shipper shall not under any circumstances be permitted to schedule or tender to Transporter,
and Transporter shall not be obligated to receive, quantities of gas that would cause Shipper's GSQ Balance to
exceed its GSQ.
(k) An NTS-S Service Agreement may be released and assigned in accordance with Section 14 (Release
and Assignment of Service Rights) of the General Terms and Conditions. Any such released NTS-S capacity shall
be treated as if it is capacity released under Transporter's FTS Rate Schedule, and the NTS-S service rights
assigned shall not include a Gas Supply Quantity (GSQ) as under this Rate Schedule, unless (i) otherwise
agreed by Transporter, or (ii) the release has the same primary delivery point(s) as the releasing Shipper's
NTS-S Service Agreement. Service to a replacement shipper under any such release and assignment shall be
subject to the provisions set forth in this Rate Schedule and in the applicable General Terms and Conditions.
Such assignments shall not relieve a releasing Shipper from its obligation to replenish its GSQ Draws on a
timely basis, as required by Section 2(j) of this Rate Schedule.
(l) Transporter and Shipper may mutually agree on a not unduly discriminatory basis to (i)
different termination dates for specified volumes of Transportation Demand within the same Service Agreement
and/or (ii) combine service agreements under this Rate Schedule into a single Service Agreement under this
Rate Schedule with different termination dates for specified volumes of Transportation Demand. Transporter
and Shipper may mutually agree to combine Service Agreements only to the extent that the individual Service
Agreement's rates, terms, and conditions can be distinctly maintained and will not be altered by the
combination. For each Service Agreement(s) executed in accordance with this Section 2(l), each of the varying
termination dates and associated volumes of Transportation Demand will be set forth on a separate Appendix A
to the Service Agreement applicable to service pursuant to this Rate Schedule. Each component with a
different termination date for a specified volume of Transportation Demand within the same Service Agreement
and reflected in a separate Appendix A will be regarded as a single Service Agreement for purposes of
Shipper's exercise of any right of first refusal under the provisions of Section 4 of the General Terms and
Conditions of Transporter's Tariff. In the event of a constraint or other occurrence that precludes combined
nominations or allocations, Transporter may advise Shippers under such combined Service Agreements that
capacity must be nominated separately, and is subject to separate allocation, pursuant to the terms of each
separate Appendix A of the Service Agreement. Each Appendix A of the combined Service Agreements will be
identified by its original contract number or such other identification convention determined to be applicable
by Transporter.
