6 Multiplied by (c) the Committed Shipper Rate applicable to such Daily Actual Volume Commitment, in effect for each such calendar day during such Contract Quarter. 2) If a Committed Shipper fails to ship its Minimum Actual Quarterly Volume Commitment (as such Minimum Actual Quarterly Volume Commitment may be reduced as stated above) in a Contract Quarter, then such Committed Shipper shall make a Deficiency Payment to Carrier at the end of the Contract Quarter equal to the MQP less (a) any payment reductions resulting from force majeure situations, proration, or any other failure of Carrier to accept Crude Petroleum for transportation under the TSA for any reason other than the Committed Shipper s default or failure to perform, excluding however any payment reductions that have already been accounted for in the calculation of the Committed Shipper s Daily Actual Volume Commitment.

8 Such prepaid transportation credits will only apply to transportation fees in excess of the Committed Shipper s MQP in the applicable Contract Quarter. If any such credits remain unused at the time the TSA would otherwise terminate, the term of the TSA shall be extended for up to an additional year to permit the Committed Shipper to use such credits. Any credits unused as of the end of such additional year will expire and be of no further use or effect thereafter.
