/11 Index Rate Calculation
The per-Dth Reservation Rate shall be determined daily and will equal [the Gas
Daily Midpoint Price (The Gas Daily Midpoint Price is the price survey
midpoint for PG&E, Malin and Stanfield, OR as applicable as published in Gas
Daily for the day of gas flow. Weekend and holiday prices will be determined
using the last published Gas Daily publication prior to the weekend or
holiday.) for PG&E, Malin minus the Gas Daily Midpoint Price for Stanfield,
OR, minus the sum of the following]:
1) an allowance for the per Dth cost of GTN system fuel
2) an allowance for the per Dth cost of delivery of volumes on the GTN
System equal to the maximum delivery rate applicable under GTN's FTS-1
Tariff for the volumes transported, multiplied by the distance
transported
3) an allowance for ACA of $0.0019/Dth
The allowance for GTN System fuel shall be computed as follows:
The Gas Daily Midpoint Price for Stanfield, OR multiplied by {[1.0/(1.0-
the GTN System fuel rate )] minus 1.0}, where the GTN System fuel rate
equals GTN's applicable mileage-based fuel rate multiplied by the
mileage of the path of the gas transported.
Reservation Rate
On any day when the foregoing Index Rate calculation produces a result less
than $0.06/Dth, the Reservation Rate shall be deemed to be $0.02/Dth. On any
day when the foregoing Index Rate calculation produces a result greater than
or equal to $0.06/Dth and less than or equal to $0.10/Dth, the Reservation
Rate shall be deemed to be equal to the calculated per Dth Reservation Rate
minus $0.04/Dth. On any day when the foregoing Index Rate calculation produces
a result greater than $0.10/Dth, the Reservation Rate shall be equal to six
cents ($0.06) plus eighty percent (80%) of the difference between the result
of the Index Rate Calculation and ten cents ($0.10). To determine the Index
Rate calculation applicable to volumes not nominated or scheduled, the
Stanfield, OR to Malin, OR mileage will be applied to the calculation's
mileage-based components.
Other Charges
In addition to the Reservation Rate as calculated herein, Eagle Energy
Partners shall pay the Delivery Rate for volumes transported equal to the
maximum delivery rate, plus the ACA charge as applicable under GTN's FTS-1
Tariff. Eagle Energy Partners shall provide fuel in kind in accordance with
GTN's FTS-1 Tariff.
Renegotiate Request
In the event that the indices for PG&E, Malin and/or Stanfield, OR are not
published on any given day (other than a weekend or holiday), prices will be
determined based on the last published information for such index. In the
event that the indices for PG&E, Malin and/or Stanfield, OR are not published
on at least three business days within a span of six business days, either
party may request negotiation of a replacement rate structure (a
"Renegotiation Request"). Upon such Renegotiation Request, GTN and Eagle
Energy Partners will use diligent, good faith efforts to come to a mutually
agreeable replacement rate structure. Firm Transportation Service Agreement
F-10628 will terminate on the fifteenth day following a Renegotiation Request
in the event the parties do not agree on a replacement rate structure prior to
such termination.
