RATE SCHEDULE FT-GS (continued)
5.3 New Facilities Charge: In addition to the charges pursuant to Section 5.2
of this Rate Schedule, Transporter may charge Shipper an amount to recoup
some or all of the cost (including income tax effects resulting from such
reimbursement) of facilities constructed at the Shipper's request in order
to provide transportation service under this Rate Schedule. Transporter
shall not use the amounts so collected (as either costs or revenues) in
establishing its general system rates. Shipper shall pay the New
Facilities Charge by lump sum payment based upon Transporter's estimated
cost prior to any construction activity, unless otherwise mutually agreed.
Transporter will construct only those facilities to render transportation
services hereunder that interconnect with facilities that either cross or
are immediately adjacent to Transporter's existing facilities; provided,
however, Transporter shall not construct facilities hereunder that will
result in the expansion or diminishment of Transporter's mainline capacity
or that compromise the operational integrity of Transporter's pipeline
system. Transporter will own and operate all facilities constructed.
5.4 Incidental Charges: In addition to the charges pursuant to Sections 5.2
and 5.3 of this Rate Schedule, Transporter shall charge Shipper an amount
to reimburse Transporter for any filing or similar fees that have not been
previously paid by Shipper that Transporter incurs in establishing or
rendering service. Transporter shall not use the amounts so collected (as
either costs or revenues) in establishing its general system rates.
5.5 Authorized Overrun Charge: If Shipper, upon receiving the advance
approval of Transporter, should on any day take under this Rate Schedule a
quantity of natural gas in excess of Shipper's Transportation Quantity,
then such excess quantity shall constitute authorized overrun quantities.
All Shipper requests for Authorized Overruns must be nominated through
PASSKEY. If Transporter has complete and unrestricted control of gas
deliveries to Shipper, then Shipper shall be deemed to have received the
advance approval of Transporter. For all Authorized Overrun volumes, the
Shipper shall pay Transporter the applicable Maximum Commodity Rate per
dth under this Rate Schedule, unless the parties mutually agree otherwise.
5.6 Imbalance Charge: In addition to the charges in Sections 5.2, 5.3, 5.4
and 5.5 if Shipper tenders or takes gas at a point not covered by an
Operational Balancing Agreement, then, Transporter shall charge Shipper
any applicable charges provided in Rate Schedules LMS-MA or LMS-PA, as
applicable and Section 8 of Article III of the General Terms and
Conditions specified in Volume I of Transporter's Tariff.
5.7 Notwithstanding any provision of Transporter's effective FERC Gas Tariff
to the contrary, Transporter and Shipper may mutually agree in writing to
rates, rate components, charges or credits for service under this Rate
Schedule that differ from those rates, rate components, charges or credits
that are otherwise prescribed, required, established or imposed by this
Rate Schedule or by any other applicable provision of Transporter's
effective FERC Gas Tariff. If Transporter agrees to such differing rates,
rate components, charges or credits ("Negotiated Rates"), then the
Negotiated Rate(s) shall be
