[DATED][EFFECTIVE]___________________
(TSA NO._______________)
[Shipper] [Pool Manager] agrees to pay the rates specified on this Attachment A for performance of certain [gas
transportation service] [Pool Transfer activities] under the Transportation Service Agreement(s) specified
above. These rates are applicable only in accordance with the following:
RATES AND APPLICABILITY:
(a) Description of Rates, Points, Quantities and Term:
[Described below] [See Rate Confirmation]
[Other tariff-permitted provisions]
(b) General: In consideration for [Shipper's] [Pool Manager's] continuing compliance with the
provisions of the Transportation Service Agreement(s) ("Agreement") specified above, the
[transportation rates and] [Pool Transfer] charges as defined above [for the specified services
provided under the Agreement], only apply to [receipts from, and subsequent deliveries to, the
Points of Receipt and Delivery] [Pool Transfers], quantities and/or time periods described
herein. [In addition to any rate or amount referred to herein (including discounted rates,
Negotiated Rates, overrun rates and maximum Tariff rates), Shipper shall provide or pay and
Transporter shall retain or charge Fuel Use and LUFG allowances or charges (including the EPC
surcharge) in such quantities or amounts as authorized from time to time by the Tariff.]
Except as specifically provided otherwise herein, [Shipper] [Pool Manager] shall pay any
applicable charges, penalties, surcharges, fees, taxes, assessments and/or direct billed
amounts provided for in the Tariff. [In any event, the rate in any Month shall never be below
Transporter's applicable minimum Tariff rate for a discount rate transaction.] [For a
Negotiated Rate transaction, the rate in any month shall never be below Transporter's
applicable minimum Tariff rate, unless Transporter otherwise agrees.] Transporter shall not be
responsible for the payment and satisfaction of any taxes assessed or levied on the receipt,
transmission (and any activities in connection therewith), delivery, use and/or consumption
with respect to Gas delivered or received by [Shipper] [Pool Manager], unless Transporter
agrees otherwise.
(c) Rate-Related Provisions:
(i) Consideration for Rate Granted: Transporter agrees to the rates defined by this
Attachment A in exchange for [Shipper's] [Pool Manager's] agreement to forego credits
or other benefits to which [Shipper] [Pool Manager] would otherwise be entitled, but
only to the extent such credits or benefits would result in a greater economic benefit
over the term of this Attachment A than that represented by the agreed-upon rate.
Accordingly, unless Transporter otherwise agrees, [Shipper] [Pool Manager] will not
receive credits from rates, refunds or other revenues collected by Transporter or
[Shipper] [Pool Manager] if to do so would effectively result in a lower rate or
greater economic benefit to [Shipper] [Pool Manager] [; provided, however, that for a
Shipper taking service under a discount or recourse rate agreement, the rate in any
month shall never be above Transporter's applicable maximum Tariff rate].
(ii) Entire Agreement: This Attachment A and any applicable Rate Confirmation(s) shall
supplement the Agreement with respect to the matters agreed to, and together shall
constitute the entire understanding of the parties relating to said matters as of the
effective date stated herein. All prior agreements, correspondence, understandings and
representations are hereby superseded and replaced by this Attachment A and for any
applicable Rate Confirmation(s) and the Agreement unless otherwise specified. Except
as otherwise provided herein, all terms used herein with initial capital letters are so
used with the respective meanings ascribed to them in Transporter's Tariff.
