The customers in Zone A shall make all necessary agreements and obtain all necessary regulatory or governmental certificates or approvals to enable the gas transported under this Rate Schedule to be delivered to the Company at at least one delivery point of the Company's existing delivery points (City Gates) of Natural Gas Pipeline Company of America (NGPL) (Hegewisch, Lansing, 134th Street, 112th Street and North Hayden), Trunkline Gas Company (Denham), ANR Pipeline Company (LaPorte County and St. John), Crossroads Pipeline Company (Griffith and Nappanee), Vector Pipeline L.P. (Crown Point and LaPorte) and Northern Border (North Hayden) and provided the Company's contractual arrangements and facilities are physically adequate to transport the contracted volumes to the facilities of the Customer. However, Customers in Zone A located in the Company's service territory where the only supplying pipeline is the ANR Pipeline Company are restricted for transportation service to deliveries on the ANR Pipeline and at one of the following: Berne-Geneva, LaGrange, Mongo, and Wolcottville delivery points as specified by the Company.
