Exit Flow Profile. 2.1 If: (a) and for so long as an Exit Flow Profile Agent has not been appointed pursuant to Clause 8.2 of the Moffat Ancillary Agreement an Exit Flow Profile (the "Initial Exit Flow Profile") in relation to the Gas Flow Day will be provided by BGE to NGG by 17.00 hours on the Preceding Day; or (b) the Exit Flow Profile Agent so appointed does not provide an Exit Profile Notice to NGG by 17.00 hours on the Preceding Day (and NGG notifies BGE that the Exit Flow Profile Agent has not provided such Exit Flow Profile), an Exit Flow Profile (the "Initial Exit Flow Profile") in relation to the Gas Flow Day will be provided by BGE to NGG as soon as reasonably practicable following the receipt of NGG’s notice by BGE. 2.2 After the Initial Exit Flow Profile has been provided (but subject to paragraph 2.3), and during the Gas Flow Day, a revised Exit Flow Profile may be provided to NGG, not less than 30 minutes before the Change Lead Time starts, showing a revised Exit Flow Rate with effect from a time (on the hour) not earlier than the expiry of the Change Lead Time (but no revision shall be shown in the Exit Flow Rate applying before that time). 2.3 A revised Exit Flow Profile provided before the Gas Flow Day shall not specify an Exit Flow Rate which does not comply with paragraph 4.1(a) unless a period equal to the minimum allowed Change Lead Time will have expired from the start of the Gas Flow Day before the Flow Rate Change Time. 2.4 Subject to paragraph 2.5, the "Change Lead Time" is a period of at least 2 hours before the Flow Rate Change Time (and it is acknowledged that the relative brevity of such minimum lead time reflects the relatively low minimum permitted Ramp Rate under paragraph 7.2). 2.5 If: (a) NGG is requested by BGE (or where an Exit Flow Profile Agent is appointed pursuant to Clause 8.2 of the Moffat Ancillary Agreement, by such agent) to accept a revision of the Exit Flow Profile upon less notice than is required pursuant to paragraph 2.4; and (b) NGG determines that it is feasible (in accordance with the Network Code), consistently with the expectation in Section J4.5.7 (construed mutatis mutandis), for NGG to make gas available for offtake in accordance with such revised profile, the Exit Flow Profile may be revised in accordance with such request. 2.6 If, upon a request pursuant to paragraph 2.5(a), NGG determines (pursuant to paragraph 2.5(b)) that it is not feasible to make gas available for offtake in accordance with such request: (a) NGG will, not later than the start of the Change Lead Time, reject the request by giving notice to BGE (and where an Exit Flow Profile Agent is appointed pursuant to Clause 8.2 of the Moffat Ancillary Agreement, such agent); and (b) such notice will (but without obliging NGG to accept any further request) notify BGE (and where an Exit Flow Profile Agent is appointed pursuant to Clause 8.2 of the Moffat Ancillary Agreement, such agent) whether in NGG's determination it would be feasible to make gas available at the Exit Flow Rate requested but upon notice other than that requested. 2.7 An Exit Flow Profile shall show, in relation to a change in the rate of offtake (at the start of the Day or within the Day) the Ramp Period and the change in rate on the basis of the permitted Ramp Rate in accordance with paragraph 7.2. 2.8 An Exit Flow Profile shall not specify an Exit Flow Rate or Flexed Exit Flow Rate which exceeds the maximum flow rate; for which purposes the maximum flow rate for the aggregate of CSPX and CSPY is 12,038 MW Variable and the maximum flow rate in respect of the CSEP is 18,057 MW Variable or (following any modification of the Connection Facilities) any greater rate(s) notified by NGG to BGE and NGG Shippers as the maximum rate of flow permitted by such facilities. 2.9 Subject to paragraphs 2.5 and 5.1, a statement which purports to be an Exit Flow Profile but which is not in the form in Appendix A or is not provided in accordance with the requirements of' this Annex, or which provides for a rate of offtake (at any time of the Day) which is not in compliance with any requirement (including without limitation paragraph 2.7) of this Annex as to the Exit Flow Rate, will not be valid or take effect as an Exit Flow Profile; and where it receives such a statement NGG will notify the person submitting such statement of such invalidity and where appropriate will advise of the reasons for such invalidity (which notification for the avoidance of doubt shall not be a Curtailment Notice). 2.10 Where an Exit Flow Profile has been submitted earlier than required under this Annex, a further Exit Flow Profile may be submitted (whether to correct any invalidity in accordance with paragraph 2.9 in the earlier profile or to reflect a change in circumstances), subject to and in accordance with this Annex, which will replace the earlier such Exit Flow Profile; provided that not more than two such replacement Exit Flow Profiles may be submitted in any hour (commencing on the hour).

Exit Flow Profile. 2.1 If:
(a) and for so long as an Exit Flow Profile Agent has not been appointed pursuant to Clause 8.2 of the Moffat Ancillary Agreement an An Exit Flow Profile (the "Initial Exit Flow Profile") in relation to the Gas Flow Day will be provided by BGE GNI (UK) to NGG by 17.00 15.00 hours on the Preceding Day; or
(b) the Exit Flow Profile Agent so appointed does not provide an Exit Profile Notice to NGG by 17.00 hours on the Preceding Day (and NGG notifies BGE that the Exit Flow Profile Agent has not provided such Exit Flow Profile), an Exit Flow Profile (the "Initial Exit Flow Profile") in relation to the Gas Flow Day will be provided by BGE to NGG as soon as reasonably practicable following the receipt of NGG’s notice by BGE.
2.2 After the Initial Exit Flow Profile has been provided (but subject to paragraph 2.3), and during the Gas Flow Day, a revised Exit Flow Profile may be provided to NGG, not less than 30 minutes before the Change Lead Time starts, showing a revised Exit Flow Rate with effect from a time (on the hour) not earlier than the expiry of the Change Lead Time (but no revision shall be shown in the Exit Flow Rate applying before that time).
2.3 A revised Exit Flow Profile provided before the Gas Flow Day shall not specify an Exit Flow Rate which does not comply with paragraph 4.1(a) 4.1 unless a period equal to the minimum allowed Change Lead Time will have expired from the start of the Gas Flow Day before the Flow Rate Change Time.
2.4 Subject to paragraph 2.5, the "Change Lead Time" is a period of of:
(a) where the Incremental Flow Rate is not more than 3000 MW Variable, at least 1 hour before the Flow Rate Change Time;
(b) where the Incremental Flow Rate is more than 3000 MW Variable, at least 2 hours before the Flow Rate Change Time (and it is acknowledged that the relative brevity of such minimum lead time reflects the relatively low minimum permitted Ramp Rate under paragraph 7.2)Time.
2.5 If:
(a) NGG is requested by BGE GNI (or where an Exit Flow Profile Agent is appointed pursuant to Clause 8.2 of the Moffat Ancillary Agreement, by such agentUK) to accept a revision of the Exit Flow Profile upon less notice than is required pursuant to paragraph 2.4; and
(b) NGG determines that it is feasible (in accordance with the Network Code), consistently with the expectation in TPD Section J4.5.7 of the version of the Uniform Network Code current as of the effective date of this agreement (construed mutatis mutandis), for NGG to make gas available for offtake in accordance with such revised profile, the Exit Flow Profile may be revised in accordance with such request.
2.6 If, upon a request pursuant to paragraph 2.5(a), NGG determines (pursuant to paragraph 2.5(b)) that it is not feasible to make gas available for offtake in accordance with such request:
