/13 The per-Dth Reservation Rate shall be determined daily and will equal 50%
x (the Gas Daily Midpoint Price (The Gas Daily Daily Midpoint Price is the
price survey midpoint for PG&E, Malin and TCPL Alberta, AECO-C as published in
Gas Daily for the day of gas flow. Weekend and holiday prices will be
determined using the most recently available Gas Daily publication.) for PG&E,
Malin minus the Gas Daily Midpoint Price for TCPL Alberta, AECO-C minus the
sum of the following):
1) an allowance for the per Dth cost of upstream transportation
2) an allowance for the per Dth cost of GTN and Foothills B.C. system fuel
3) 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
4) an allowance for ACA of $0.0019/Dth or other such rate as may be
approved by FERC during the term of this Agreement to reflect its Annual
Charge Adjustment
For the purposes of the above Reservation Rate calculation:
The allowance for upstream transportation shall be calculated as the
sum of the 100% load factor equivalent rates in effect on the day of
flow for Foothills B.C. System FT Service and the TransCanada Alberta
System FT-D service, converted to U.S. dollars per Dth using the
U.S/Canadian dollar conversion rate as quoted in Gas Daily for the day
of flow, a conversion rate of 1.055056 GJ per Dth, and a heat value of
37.8 MJ/cubic meter; and
The allowance for GTN and Foothills B.C. System fuel shall be computed
as the Gas Daily Midpoint Price for TCPL Alberta, AECO-C (expressed in
$U.S./Dth), multiplied by {[1.0/ (1.0 - the GTN System fuel rate)]
multiplied by [1.0/ (1.0- the Foothills Zone 8 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.
On any day when the foregoing Reservation Rate calculation produces a result
less than $0.04/Dth, the Reservation Rate shall be deemed to be $0.04/Dth. To
determine the Index Rate calculation applicable to volumes not nominated or
scheduled, the Kingsgate to Malin mileage will be applied to the calculation's
mileage-based components.
In addition to the Reservation Rate as calculated herein, Powerex 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. Powerex shall
provide fuel in kind in accordance with GTN's FTS-1 Tariff.
In the event that the indices for PG&E, Malin and/or TCPL Alberta, AECO-C 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 TCPL Alberta, AECO-C 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 Powerex
will use diligent, good faith efforts to come to a mutually agreeable
replacement rate structure. Firm Transportation Service Agreement F-10849 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.
