GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS (continued)
Any revenues received by Transporter from the Replacement Shipper
will be applied first to the reservation charge liability with
respect to the released capacity then to the usage charge
liability. If the Replacement Shipper fails to pay all or any
portion of any bill by the due date specified on the invoice, then
Replacement Shipper shall pay a Late Payment Charge calculated in
accord with Article VI, Section 2 of these General Terms and
Conditions. If Replacement Shipper's failure to pay has continued
for 30 days after payment is due, Transporter shall so notify
Replacement Shipper and Releasing Shipper within a reasonably
proximate time via e-mail and facsimile. If such failure to pay
continues for 30 days after payment is due and Transporter has
provided the Releasing and Replacement Shippers with at least
thirty (30) days notice that service will terminate for nonpayment,
Transporter may terminate the service agreement; provided, however,
that such service agreement will not terminate if Replacement
Shipper successfully exerts its rights under Article VI of these
General Terms and Conditions.
To the extent that the release is a non-permanent release and
Replacement Shipper's service agreement is past due, then
Transporter may send the Releasing Shipper an invoice for all
unpaid amounts up to the amount of the Releasing Shipper's
reservation charge plus interest calculated from the date the
unpaid amount was due from Replacement Shipper, net of any
security held for Replacement Shipper, provided that prior to
sending such invoice to Releasing Shipper, Transporter will either
terminate the Replacement Shipper's service agreement or initiate
the necessary legal steps to do so. Releasing Shipper shall
submit the payment to Transporter within ten days of receipt of
the invoice.
To the extent that Transporter suspends or terminates the
service of a Replacement Shipper pursuant to Article XXVIII,
Section 4.5, Transporter shall provide within a reasonably
proximate time notice to the Replacement Shipper and Releasing
Shipper via e-mail and facsimile.
(k) Any increase in Transporter's rates, charges and surcharges
shall remain the responsibility of the Releasing Shipper;
provided, however, that the Releasing Shipper may provide in its
Release Request for the rates, charges or surcharges for
released transportation rights to increase in accordance with
any such increases in Transporter's rates, charges and
surcharges. In either circumstance, any refunds of any rates or
charges ordered by the FERC shall be paid to the Replacement
Shipper either by Transporter or by Releasing Shipper depending
on which entity (the Transporter or Releasing Shipper) received
the proceeds of the excessive rate; provided, however, for
releases that become effective on or after July 30, 2008, any
rate paid by a Replacement Shipper in any capacity release
transaction with a term of one (1) year or less which is not
subject to the maximum rate cap is deemed to be a final rate and
is not subject to refund.
(l) The Replacement Shipper's service under a release shall be
subject to and governed by the terms and conditions of the
Releasing Shipper's Service Agreement and governing rate schedule
and the Service Agreement executed by Replacement Shipper under
Section 11.6 (i).
