10. CAPACITY RELEASE
10.1 Eligibility
Any Shipper with an executed Firm Service Agreement under
Sabine's FT-1 Rate Schedule is eligible to release all or
part of its capacity to a Replacement Shipper on a permanent
or temporary basis, subject to the provisions of this
Section 10 and Sabine's FT-1 Rate Schedule.
10.2 Types of Capacity Releases
a) Permanent Release of Firm Capacity
A Releasing Shipper may release all or part of its
firm capacity under a Firm Service Agreement for the
entire remaining primary term of the Agreement
(Permanent Release). The Replacement Shipper must
contract for the Primary Receipt and Delivery Point(s)
specifically set forth in a Releasing Shipper?s Firm
Service Agreement. A Permanent Release operates as an
assignment of capacity and all of the terms and
conditions applicable to firm transportation service
including the requirements related to credit
worthiness must be met by the Replacement Shipper
prior to the effective date of the assignment. The
Replacement Shipper shall execute a separate Firm
Service Agreement for the released capacity at the
rate bid by the Replacement Shipper and accepted by
the Releasing Shipper up to the maximum rate and for
the primary term originally set forth in the Releasing
Shipper's Firm Service Agreement with Sabine. The
Releasing Shipper will remain obligated to pay the
difference, if any, between the accepted bid and the
applicable rate for the remainder of the existing
contract term. In the event there is a discount
agreement in effect between Sabine and the Releasing
Shipper for service utilizing all or any portion of
the permanently released capacity, Sabine will enter
into a discount agreement with the permanent
Replacement Shipper for the same time period, volumes,
receipt points, delivery points and discount, subject
to any terms contained in Releasing Shipper's discount
agreement on the same basis as with the Releasing
Shipper. Under Negotiated Rate agreements, the
Releasing Shipper is obligated to pay Sabine the
Difference, if ant, by which the Negotiated Rate
exceeds the rate paid by the Replacement Shipper.
