4.17 Discounted Rates
(a) Transporter, upon mutual agreement with Shipper, may from time
to time and at any time agree to adjust any or all of the
rates applicable to any individual TSA on a non-discriminatory
basis; provided, however, that such adjusted rate(s) shall not
exceed the applicable maximum rate(s) nor shall they be less
than the minimum rate(s) set forth on Statement of Rates for
the applicable Rate Schedule. Discounts granted pursuant to
this Section 4.17 will not constitute a material deviation
from Transporter's Form of Service Agreement.
Transporter and Shipper may agree that a specified discounted
rate will apply under the following conditions:
1) to specified quantities under the TSA;
2) to specified quantities achieving or not exceeding a
certain level;
3) in a specified relationship to quantities actually
transported;
4) to specified quantities during specified periods of time
or during specified periods of the Year;
5) to specified quantities at specific Receipt or Delivery
Points or other geographical locations;
6) to production or reserves committed or dedicated to
Transporter;
7) that a specified discounted rate is based on a formula
including, but not limited to, published index prices for
specific Receipt and/or Delivery Points 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 usage charge or both) and any formula will provide a
reservation rate per unit of contract demand. To the
extent the firm reservation charge is discounted, the
index price differential rate formula shall be calculated
to state a rate per MDQ. Furthermore, such discount
shall not change the underlying rate design or include
any minimum bill or minimum take provision that has the
effect of guaranteeing revenue;
