GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
----------------------------
(continued)
15.11A release and assignment under this Section 15 shall not release Releasing Shipper from any of
the obligations of its Transportation Service Agreement with Transporter, which shall remain in
full force and effect and unmodified as if the release and assignment and the related
Replacement Shipper's Rate Schedule FT, Rate Schedule EFT, or Rate Schedule LFT service
agreement had never been entered into, except:
(A) Releasing Shipper shall not be entitled to any of the capacity rights under its
Transportation Service Agreement that are released by it for the period of the release and
assignment. Recall or reput rights retained by the Releasing Shipper pursuant to
Subsections 15.14(B)(4), 15.14(B)(5), 15.15(A)(4) and 15.15(A)(5) are not considered to be
rights released by the Releasing Shipper, and
(B) Transporter shall bill Releasing Shipper for all amounts due to Transporter from Releasing
Shipper under its Transportation Service Agreement. Transporter shall provide the
Releasing Shipper with a concurrent credit on this bill equal to any Reservation Fees
billed to the related Replacement Shipper(s) by Transporter for the released Capacity. Fees
billable under Subsection 15.8 shall be billed separately.
(C) Payments made by a Replacement Shipper shall be applied first to any Reservation Fees
incurred by the Replacement Shipper under its Rate Schedule FT, Rate Schedule EFT, or Rate
Schedule LFT Agreement and next to any Utilization Fees incurred by the Replacement Shipper
under its Rate Schedule FT, Rate Schedule EFT, or Rate Schedule LFT Agreement. The
calculations in Subsection 15.11(B) above shall be revised to reflect the actual payments
made by the Replacement Shipper.
(D) Transporter and a Releasing Shipper may, in connection with their agreement to a Negotiated
Rate under Subsection 4.5 of Rate Schedule FT, Subsection 4.5 of Rate Schedule EFT, or
Subsection 4.5 of Rate Schedule LFT, agree upon payment obligations and crediting
mechanisms in the event of a capacity release that vary from or are in addition to those
set forth within this Section 15.11. Nothing in the foregoing provision, however, shall
authorize Transporter or a Shipper to violate the Commission's policy with respect to the
negotiation of terms and conditions of service.
(E) In the event of a permanent Primary Point Adjustment pursuant to Subsection 15.4(E) by a
Replacement Shipper under a temporary capacity release transaction, Releasing Shipper's
Transportation Service Agreement with Transporter shall be permanently revised to reflect
such adjustment.
15.12PERMANENT RELEASES. A Shipper may offer to permanently release all or part of its capacity
pursuant to the procedures of Subsections 15.14 or 15.15 of this FERC Gas Tariff, Second Revised
Volume No. 1. However, a permanent release must be for the entire remaining term of the
Releasing Shipper's Transportation Service Agreement and may not utilize a volumetric rate form
otherwise permitted under Section 15.6. Any potential Replacement Shipper under this Subsection
15.12 must meet the creditworthiness standards stated in Section 26 of the General Terms and
Conditions. Section 15.10 (B) shall not apply to Replacement Shippers for permanent capacity
releases. Upon the consent of Transporter and the execution of a Transportation Service
Agreement with the Replacement Shipper, Transporter will release Releasing Shipper from all of
its obligations arising from service provided pursuant to the Transportation Service Agreement
prospectively from the date of permanent assignment. However, Releasing Shipper will remain
obligated for any fees, surcharges, or other obligations related to service provided under
Releasing Shipper's Transportation Service Agreement prior to the date of its permanent
assignment. Transporter may require that the Replacement Shipper agree to a rate and/or term
equal to those in the Releasing Shipper's Transportation Service Agreement, or to any other
provision in Releasing Shipper's Transportation Service Agreement. Transporter's consent to
allow a permanent release shall not be unreasonably withheld, and shall be applied on a non-
discriminatory basis.
