4. Transporter shall retain all revenues collected under this Section

27. ORDER OF DISCOUNTING
1. To the extent Transporter discounts the rates for service pursuant
to this Tariff, the rates for service will be deemed to have been
discounted in the following order: (1) Reservation Charge; (2)
Usage Charge, but no charges will be discounted below the stated
minimum rate.
2. From time to time Shipper and Transporter may agree in writing on
a level of discount of the otherwise applicable rates and charges
in addition to a basic discount from the stated maximum Rates.
For example, Transporter may provide a specific discounted rate:
(a) To certain specified quantities; or
(b) If specified quantity levels are actually achieved or with
respect to quantities below a specified level; or
(c) During specified time periods; or
(d) To points of receipt, points of delivery, transportation
paths or defined geographic areas; or
(e) 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
(f) To provide that if one rate component which was equal to or
within the applicable maximum and minimum rate at the time
the discount agreement was executed subsequently exceeds the
applicable maximum rate or is below the applicable minimum
rate due to a change in Transporter's maximum rates and/or
minimum rates, so that such rate component must be adjusted
downward or upward to equal the new applicable maximum or
minimum rate, then other rate components may be adjusted
upward or downward to achieve the agreed upon overall rate,
so long as none of the resulting rate components exceed the
maximum rate or are below the minimum rate applicable to the
rate component. Such changes to rate components shall be
applied prospectively, commencing with the date a Commission
order accepts applicable revised maximum and minimum rates.
However, nothing contained herein shall be construed to
offer a refund obligation under applicable law for any
period during which rates which had been changed under a
discount agreement exceeded rates which ultimately are found
to be just and reasonable.
