36.5 Obligation to Pay. Any Shipper liable for charges under this
Section 36 as a result of filings submitted to the FERC after the
effectiveness of this Section 36 or as a result of the effectiveness of
Section 32 of the General Terms and Conditions of Transporter's canceled
FERC Gas Tariff, First Revised Volume No. 1, prior to the effectiveness
of this Second Revised Volume No. 1 Tariff shall not be relieved of its
obligation under this Section 36 in the event that the Service Agreement
between Shipper and Transporter under Transporter's previously effective
Rate Schedules G-1 and SGS-1, or successor(s), contained in
Transporter's canceled FERC Gas Tariff, First Revised Volume No. 1, is
terminated or has its term reduced for any reason including, but not
limited to, the expiration of said agreement, cancellation and
abandonment of service, conversion of such agreement to transportation
service, a change in corporate identity or bankruptcy. In such event,
Transporter shall, at Shipper's option, either (a) bill Shipper, within
forty-five (45) days after the effectiveness of such termination or
reduction, a one-time charge for the full amount of said Shipper's fixed
monthly surcharge remaining due for the total recovery period, or (b)
continue billing the fixed monthly surcharge to Shipper or, if
appropriate, Shipper's successor in interest, during the remainder of
the total recovery period (including under its new corporate identity,
if any, and/or under Shipper's new Rate Schedule, if any, or in any
other manner allowable). Shipper shall remain obligated to pay any
additional charges for buyout/buydown costs resulting from future
filings permitted under law to recover buyout/buydown costs related to
gas purchase contracts which were not the subject of litigation before
court(s) and/or arbitration proceedings as of March 31, 1989 to the
extent Shipper is a customer at the time of such filing. Shipper shall
also remain obligated to pay any additional charges for buyout/buydown
costs resulting from future filings to recover costs related to gas
purchase contracts which were the subject of litigation before court(s)
and/or arbitration proceedings as of March 31, 1989.
