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 ISS filed with the Commission, as such
rates and charges and Rate Schedule ISS 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supplemented, superseded, or replaced generally or as to the service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 ISS 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 ISS 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to the Quantities actually injected, withdrawn or stored (i.e., that the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actually injected, withdrawn or stored); or (e) based on published index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.); 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 refund obligation under applicable law for
any period during which rates which had been charged under a discount
agreement exceeded rates which ultimately are found to be just and
reasonable. Any discount shall be effective only on a prospective basis
and as specified in the written agreement between Trunkline and Shipper.
