FORM OF TRANSPORTATION AGREEMENT
ARTICLE 3 - RATES AND CHARGES
For the services provided or contracted for hereunder, Shipper
agrees to pay Panhandle the then-effective, applicable rates and
charges under Panhandle's Rate Schedule EFT filed with the
Commission, as such rates and charges and Rate Schedule EFT may
hereafter be modified, supplemented, superseded, or replaced
generally or as to the service hereunder. Panhandle reserves the
right from time to time to unilaterally file and to make effective
any such changes in the terms or rate levels under Rate Schedule EFT
and the applicability thereof, the General Terms and Conditions or
any other provisions of Panhandle's Tariff, subject to the applicable
provisions of the Natural Gas Act and the Commission's Regulations
thereunder.
From time to time Panhandle and Shipper may agree in writing,
on a level of discount of the otherwise applicable rates and charges
hereunder, pursuant to the effective applicable provisions of Rate
Schedule EFT and subject to the Regulations and Orders of the
Commission. For example, Panhandle and Shipper may agree that a
specified discounted rate shall apply: (a) only to certain
Quantities under this Agreement; (b) only if specified Quantity
levels are actually achieved or only with respect to Quantities below
a specified level; (c) only during specified time periods; (d) only
to specified Points of Receipt, Points of Delivery, mainline
segments, transportation paths or defined geographical areas; (e)
only to production reserves committed by the Shipper; (f) in a
specified relationship to the Quantities actually transported (i.e.,
that the rates shall be adjusted in a specified relationship to
Quantities actually transported); or (g) based on published index
prices for specific receipt or delivery points or other agreed upon
pricing reference points for price determination (Such discounted
rate may be based on the published index price point differential or
arrived at by formula. Any service agreement containing an index
based discount will identify what rate component is discounted. To
the extent the firm reservation charge is discounted, the index price
differential rate formula shall be calculated to state a rate per
unit of MDCQ.); provided, however, that any such discounted rate set
forth above shall be between the Maximum Rate and Minimum Rate
applicable to the service provided under this Agreement. In addition,
the discount agreement may include a provision that if one rate
component which was at or below the applicable Maximum Rate at the
time the discount agreement was executed subsequently exceeds the
applicable Maximum Rate due to a change in Panhandle's Maximum Rates
so that such rate component must be adjusted downward to equal the
new applicable Maximum Rate, then other rate components may be
adjusted upward to achieve the agreed overall rate, so long as none
of the resulting rate components exceed the Maximum Rate applicable
to that rate component. Such changes to rate components shall be
applied prospectively, commencing with the date a Commission order
