This Open-access Rate Schedule is available to any party (hereinafter called "Customer")
which has requested firm or interruptible transportation service pursuant to Section 3 of
Texas Eastern Transmission, LP's (hereinafter called "Pipeline") General Terms and Conditions
solely on a portion of Pipeline's system designated as a Market Lateral, has agreed to
reimburse Pipeline (through rates or otherwise) for the facilities necessary to provide the
service hereunder and, after review and acceptance of such request by Pipeline, has entered
into a service agreement with Pipeline for service under Rate Schedule MLS-1. Under this
Rate Schedule MLS-1, a single MLS-1 Service Agreement is available to multiple parties who
meet the qualifications set forth in the Multiple Shipper Option Agreement ("MSOA") and such
agreement has been executed by the Shippers, Pipeline and other relevant parties. Such
service agreement shall be in the form contained in Pipeline's FERC Gas Tariff of which this
Rate Schedule MLS-1 is a part. Customer's election of firm or interruptible service shall be
indicated in the executed service agreement.
2. APPLICABILITY AND CHARACTER OF SERVICE
2.1 Transportation service hereunder will be firm or interruptible, as provided herein and
in Pipeline's General Terms and Conditions and will be a lateral line only service with
no rights (secondary or otherwise) other than on the Market Lateral. Service under
this Rate Schedule does not constitute "no-notice" service as that term is used in
Order No. 636.
2.2 Pipeline shall receive for Customer's account, at those points on Pipeline's Market
Lateral described in the Rate Schedule MLS-1 service agreement available to Customer
pursuant to this Rate Schedule (hereinafter referred to as "Point(s) of Receipt"), for
transportation hereunder daily quantities of gas up to Customer's Maximum Daily
Quantity ("MDQ"), plus Applicable Shrinkage, at an hourly gas flow rate as determined
pursuant to Section 5.2 of this Rate Schedule MLS-1 and the executed Rate Schedule MLS-
1 service agreement. Pipeline shall transport and deliver for Customer's account at
those points on Pipeline's Market Lateral as specified in the executed service
agreement (hereinafter referred to as "Point(s) of Delivery"), such quantities tendered
up to such Customer's MDQ. The daily quantities of gas delivered to Customer at the
Point(s) of Delivery shall be delivered at an hourly gas flow rate not in excess of
Customer's Maximum Hourly Quantity ("MHQ") as defined below in Section 2.5 or such
hourly flow rate as determined pursuant to Section 5.2 of this Rate Schedule MLS-1 and
the executed Rate Schedule MLS-1 service agreement; however, in no event shall the
total quantity delivered for the day exceed Customer's MDQ. Such MDQ and MHQ
quantities shall be specified in the executed service agreement.
2.3 Customer and Pipeline recognize and agree that in order to provide the service
hereunder, Pipeline is required to add, and Customer is obligated to pay for, the
incremental facilities necessary to provide such service. Otherwise, Pipeline shall
not be obligated to add any facilities or expand the capacity of its pipeline system in
any manner in order to provide transportation service to Customer pursuant to this Rate
Schedule.
2.4 Interruptible MLS-1 service shall be made available only to the extent that capacity on
the designated Market Lateral is not required for firm MLS-1 service.
2.5 Maximum Hourly Quantity ("MHQ") shall mean the maximum quantity of gas in Dth specified
in an executed Service Agreement that Pipeline is obligated to deliver to Customer
