GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
30. DISCOUNTING POLICY
(a) In the event that Transporter agrees to discount its
rate to Shipper below Transporter's maximum rate under
Transporter's Rate Schedules, the following discount
terms may be reflected on the applicable Service
Agreements and will apply without the discount
constituting a material deviation from Transporter's
applicable pro forma Service Agreements; provided,
however, that any such discounted rates set forth below
shall be between the minimum and maximum rates
applicable to the service provided under the applicable
Rate Schedule. Transporter and Shipper may agree that
a specified discounted rate will apply under the
following conditions:
(i) to specified quantities under Shipper's Service
Agreement(s);
(ii) to specified quantities above or below a certain
level or all quantities if quantities exceed a
certain level;
(iii) in a specified relationship to quantities
actually transported (i.e., that the Reservation
charge will be adjusted in a specified
relationship to quantities actually transported);
(iv) to specified quantities during specified periods
of time or during specified periods of the year;
(v) to specified quantities at specific Receipt
Point(s) or Delivery Point(s);
(vi) to production reserves committed or dedicated by
Shipper; and/or
(vii) that a specific discounted rate is based on
published index prices for specific Receipt
Point(s) and/or Delivery Point(s) or other agreed-
upon published pricing reference points (such
discounted rate may be based upon the differential
between published prices or arrived at by
formula). Any agreement containing such
discounted rate shall specify the rate
component(s) to be discounted (i.e., Reservation
charge or Commodity charge or both), and any
formula will provide a reservation rate per unit
of contract demand (Maximum Daily Quantity). To
the extent the firm Reservation charge is
discounted, the index price differential rate
formula shall be calculated to state a rate per
Dth. Furthermore, such discount shall not change
the underlying rate design of the service being
provided or include any minimum bill or maximum
take provision that would have the effect of
guaranteeing revenue.
