GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
(continued)
14. CAPACITY RELEASE (continued)
paid by a Replacement Customer and received by Algonquin which are owed in
respect of the capacity rights released by that Releasing Customer and acquired
by that Replacement Customer from Algonquin under a New Service Agreement
pursuant to Releasing Customer's release (but not pursuant to subsequent
releases of the same capacity), even if greater than the Fixed Charges
obligation of the Releasing Customer, up to the maximum rate for the released
capacity. Under Negotiated Rate agreements, the Releasing Customer is
obligated to pay Algonquin the difference by which the Negotiated Rate exceeds
the rate paid by the Replacement Customer. Under Negotiated Rate agreements,
Algonquin and the Releasing Customer may agree upon payment obligations and
crediting mechanisms which may vary from or are different from those set forth
in Algonquin's capacity release provisions. Replacement Customer under a New
Service Agreement shall be liable to Algonquin for all obligations incurred
thereunder, including Fixed Charges and charges related to usage. Any
Replacement Customer shall be entitled to receive refunds to the extent the
rate paid by it is subsequently determined to be in excess of a just and
reasonable rate; provided, however, that if the Releasing Customer is subject
to a discounted rate and received credits attributable to Fixed Charges that
Algonquin is required to refund, Algonquin shall be entitled to reverse such
credits and shall be required to refund such amounts to the Replacement
Customer only to the extent actually collected back from the Releasing
Customer. In addition, for releases that become effective on or after July 30,
2008, any rate paid by a Replacement Customer in any capacity release
transaction with a term of one (1) year or less which is not subject to the
maximum rate cap is deemed to be a final rate and is not subject to refund if
the effective date of the release is on or before one (1) year from the date on
which Algonquin was notified of the release.
(b) The service agreement between Algonquin and each Releasing Customer shall
remain in full force and effect and unmodified, as if the Release from that
Releasing Customer and related New Service Agreement had never been entered
into, except (i) the Releasing Customer shall not be entitled to any of the
rights under the service agreement which are released by it for the period set
forth in the Release and (ii) the Releasing Customer shall be entitled to a
credit as provided in this subsection. Notwithstanding the above, in the event
there is a permanent release of Releasing Customer's Capacity pursuant to
Section 14.14 of these General Terms and Conditions, Algonquin will agree to
discharge Releasing Customer of liability, on a prospective basis, in whole or
in part.
(c) Algonquin shall bill the Releasing Customer the amount it is obligated to pay
for Fixed Charges and shall simultaneously credit such invoice with the Fixed
Charges that Algonquin is entitled to recover under all New Service Agreements
which are owed in respect of the capacity rights released by the Releasing
Customer and acquired pursuant to such release (but not pursuant to subsequent
releases of the same capacity); provided, however, that such credit shall be
reversed, and
