GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
(Continued)
14.8 Billing.
(a) Transporter, in accordance with the terms of this Tariff, shall: (i) bill the Releasor for
the full reservation charge, applicable reservation-related surcharges and any other fixed charges for which
Releasor is otherwise obligated to Transporter, less either the reservation charge bid by Releasor's
Replacement Shipper, or the reservation charge portion of amounts billed to Replacement Shippers paying one-
part volumetric rates; and (ii) bill the Replacement Shipper for (A) the reservation charge bid by that
Replacement Shipper (except for periods during which the Releasor has recalled the capacity), (B) all
commodity charges, or all payments under one-part volumetric rates, and any minimum volumetric commitment
agreed to but not met by the Replacement Shipper, (C) any commodity surcharges, (D) any penalties or
imbalance correction costs associated with the assigned capacity, and (E) any applicable overrun charges, as
any of these charges may change from time to time upon approval of the Commission. For all payments
received from Replacement Shipper, Transporter shall allocate such payment first to the reservation charge
(or to the reservation charge component under a one-part rate) and then any amounts above that level to the
commodity charge (or to the commodity charge component under a one-part rate). Replacement Shipper may,
upon notice to Transporter and approval of the Releasor, appoint Releasor as its agent to receive such
billings from Transporter. The charges shall be pro-rated for a Billing Month if necessary.
(b) For all assignments of service rights, Releasor shall remain ultimately responsible to
Transporter for full payment of the reservation charge, any applicable reservation-related surcharges, and
any other fixed charges for which Releasor is otherwise obligated to Transporter. For permanent releases of
capacity, Transporter may in its reasonable discretion agree to release the Releasor from this
responsibility. Such discretion shall be exercised by Transporter in a nondiscriminatory manner. Until
payment by Replacement Shipper to Transporter of any unpaid reservation charges, any claims Releasor may
have relating to those charges shall be subordinated to those of Transporter. Any reservation charge
payments made by Replacement Shipper to Transporter will not be withheld from Releasor by Transporter due to
Replacement Shipper's failure to pay Transporter other amounts owed that are unrelated to the released
capacity.
(c) In the event that a Replacement Shipper (including a Secondary Replacement Shipper) fails to
pay Transporter's invoice relating to the released capacity, Transporter shall within five business days (or
as soon thereafter as possible) provide the Releasor (the most recent Releasor, where the capacity has been
secondarily assigned) with written or telephonic notice of such nonpayment. Upon Releasor's receipt of such
notice of Replacement Shipper's nonpayment, Releasor, without prejudice to any other rights it may have, may
immediately recall the assigned capacity upon 24-hour notice to Replacement Shipper unless within such
period Replacement Shipper pays in full the outstanding indebtedness, together with accrued interest at the
Commission approved interest rate, and furnishes adequate assurance of payment to Releasor if required by
Releasor.
