GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
----------------------------
Natural shall be deemed to have collected Supply Realignment Costs
from all Shippers with Assessable Transportation Services based on
MDQs in effect from time to time, irrespective of whether Natural
had discounted such Agreements, except as provided in filings
pursuant to Section 38.10(c); provided, however, that no Supply
Realignment Costs shall be allocated to, nor shall Natural be deemed
to have collected Supply Realignment Costs from all Shippers with
Assessable Transportation Services based on MDQs in effect from time
to time, irrespective of whether Natural had discounted such
Agreements, except as provided in filings pursuant to Section
38.10(c); provided, however, that no Supply Realignment Costs shall
be allocated to, nor shall Natural be deemed to have collected
Supply Realignment Costs on, any Agreement which replaces an
Agreement currently held by a settling customer and is within the
contract demand for such customer utilized as billing determinants
for calculating Supply Realignment Costs for such customers in
Section 38.4 or 38.5. If, at the end of the Amortization Period, a
positive balance remains in the Adjustment Account, Natural may
establish rates to be assessed to Assessable Shippers for an
Extended Amortization Period, which rates shall equal the rates
specified in subsection (a) or such lower rate as was last assessed
during the Amortization Period under subsection (b), but subject to
the limitations of subsection (d).
(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Section 38, no Assessable Shipper shall be billed or obligated to
pay Supply Realignment Costs for any firm Agreement in excess of
forty-eight (48) times the applicable contract MDQ times $3.12 for
Midwest Zone deliveries or $.624 for deliveries in the Production
Zones, as Midwest and Production Zones are defined in Section 21.7
of these General Terms and Conditions [or such lesser monthly Demand
Surcharge rate as is determined in a reconciliation under subsection
(e)]. Nothing herein shall be read or implied to override any
contractual arrangement between Natural and any Shipper resulting in
a lesser payment of Supply Realignment Costs under any Agreement.
(e) Billings to and collections from Assessable
Shippers shall be subject to a reconciliation consistent with
Section 38.10 of these General Terms and Conditions at the end of
the Amortization Period and of any Extended Amortization Period.
In the event that the reconciliation for the Natural Customer Group
under Section 38.10(a) of these General Terms and Conditions
results in a lower average monthly demand surcharge rate than
$3.12 for Midwest Zone deliveries and $.624 for deliveries in the
Production Zones, as Midwest and Production Zones are defined in
Section 21.7 of these General Terms and Conditions, Natural shall
make refunds with applicable interest to any Shipper which has
