FORM OF SERVICE AGREEMENT
ARTICLE 3 - RATES AND CHARGES
For the services provided or contracted for hereunder, Shipper
agrees to pay Trunkline the then-effective, applicable rates and charges
under Trunkline's Rate Schedule FSS filed with the Commission, as such
rates and charges and Rate Schedule FSS may hereafter be modified,
supplemented, superseded, or replaced generally or as to the service
hereunder. Trunkline 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 FSS and the applicability thereof, the
General Terms and Conditions or any other provisions of Trunkline's
Tariff, subject to the applicable provisions of the Natural Gas Act and
the Commission's Regulations thereunder.
From time to time Shipper and Trunkline 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 FSS and subject to the Regulations and Orders of the
Commission. For example, Shipper and Trunkline 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) in a specified relationship
to the Quantities actually injected, withdrawn or stored (i.e., that the
rates shall be adjusted in a specified relationship to Quantities
actually injected, withdrawn or stored); or (e) based on published index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 MCSC and/or
MDWQ, as applicable.); 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 Trunkline'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 accepts revised tariff
sheets. However, nothing contained herein shall be construed to alter a
