As among the holders of Priority One Service, the capacity available on each Facility Segment to Priority One Service under the preceding sentence shall be allocated among the holders of Priority One Service on a pro rata basis, based on the percentage derived by dividing the Daily average volume of Gas actually Tendered by each holder of Priority One Service to Receipt Points on the Gathering System during the prior 90 Day period by the total volume of such Gas actually Tendered by all holders of Priority One Service during such period. As among the holders of Priority Two Service, the capacity available on each Facility Segment to Priority Two Service under the preceding sentence shall be allocated among the holders of Priority Two Service on a pro rata basis, based on the percentage derived by dividing the Daily average volume of Gas actually Tendered by each holder of Priority Two Service to Receipt Points on the Gathering System during the prior 90 Day period by the total volume of such Gas actually Tendered by all holders of Priority One Service during such period. As among holders of Interruptible Service, the capacity available to such service, if any, shall be allocated pro rata among the holders of such service based on the percentage derived by dividing the Daily average volume of Gas actually Tendered by each holder of Interruptible Service to Receipt Points on the Gathering System during the prior 60 Day period by the total volume of such Gas actually Tendered by all holders of Interruptible Service during such period.
