include the maximum commodity rate under the applicable rate schedule
including all adjustments. If the Replacement Shipper fails to pay all or
any portion of any bill by the due date specified on the invoice,
Transporter shall send an invoice to the Releasor for all unpaid amounts up
to the amount of the Releasor's reservation charge, which the Releasor
shall pay to Transporter with interest thereon, which interest shall be
calculated from the date which Transporter credited the Releasor for the
applicable reservation charges in accord with section 29.8(b) below. As a
courtesy to Releasor, Transporter shall endeavor to notify Releasor of the
Replacement Shipper's failure to pay its bill in full when due after
Transporter becomes aware of such failure; provided, however, that
Transporter's inability or failure to provide notice to Releasor shall not
excuse Releasor from making timely and full payment of the applicable
reservation charges. Releasor shall be responsible for obtaining
reimbursement for any such payment from Replacement Shipper. Failure of
either the Replacement Shipper or Releasor to pay bills shall entitle
Transporter to exercise the remedies available under the Transportation
Agreement and this Tariff, including suspension of service to the Releasor
and the Replacement Shipper, as well as any other remedies available to
Transporter.
(b) Notwithstanding any release hereunder, except in the case of a permanent
release, all Releasors shall remain responsible for payment of the
reservation charge for firm transportation service that has been released.
The Releasor shall receive a reservation credit equaling the reservation
dollars which Transporter receives from the Replacement Shipper. The
Releasor will receive credit at the same time Transporter invoices the
Replacement Shipper for the released capacity, provided, if the Replacement
Shipper defaults and Transporter must seek payment from the Releasor,
Transporter will assess the Releasor interest at the FERC Section
154.501(d) approved rate. A reservation rate for the purposes of this
Section consists of (i) the base reservation rate, and (ii) all applicable
surcharges, provided that for releases made on a volumetric basis, the
reservation charge shall equal the daily reservation rate multiplied by the
applicable volume plus all applicable surcharges. Any discount from said
rate comes first off the surcharges and then off the base reservation rate.
Therefore, a Releasor paying a discounted rate is only entitled to receive
any revenues from the release of its capacity that exceed the amount of the
applicable surcharges.
(c) The maximum rate for a volumetric release shall not exceed the daily
reservation rate for the released capacity. Such maximum rate for
