GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
39. DISCOUNTED AGREEMENTS (Cont'd.)
the applicable minimum rate due to a change in Transporter's
maximum (minimum) rates so that such rate component must be
adjusted downward (upward) to equal the new applicable maximum
(minimum) rate, then other rate components may be adjusted upward
(downward) to achieve the agreed overall rate, so long as none of
the resulting rate components exceed the maximum rate or are less
than the minimum rate applicable to that rate component. The
amendment may also provide for an adjustment to rate components to
achieve the over-all revenues attributable to the agreed rates
under the service agreement being amended and other service
agreements under the same or other rate schedules, should changes
in Transporter's maximum or minimum rates increase or decrease the
revenues attributable to such other service agreement, so long as
none of the resulting rate components exceed the maximum rate or
are less than the minimum rate applicable to that rate component.
Such changes to rate components shall be applied prospectively,
commencing with the date a Commission order accepts revised tariff
sheets. Nothing contained herein shall be construed to alter a
refund obligation under applicable law for any period during which
rates that had been charged under a discount agreement exceeded
rates which ultimately are found to be just and reasonable;
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no discount agreement may provide that an
agreed discount as to a defined quantity level will be invalidated if
the Shipper transports an incremental quantity above the agreed level.
Transporter and Shipper may agree to a discounted rate provided that the
discounted rate is between the applicable maximum and minimum rates.
A provision entered into pursuant to this Section 39 shall not
constitute a material deviation from the applicable form of service
agreement.
