GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
----------------------------
30.2 AWARD OF FIRM CAPACITY
To the extent the revenue level pursuant to the Negotiated
Rate(s) or Negotiated Rate Formula provided for in Section 30.1 above
should equal or exceed the revenue level at the Recourse Rate, the
Shipper paying such Negotiated Rate(s) or rate(s) under a Negotiated
Rate Formula shall be treated, for capacity award purposes, as if the
rate(s) paid had been equal to the Recourse Rate. Any Shipper,
existing or new, paying the Recourse Rate(s) has the same right to
capacity for capacity award purposes as a Shipper willing to pay an
equal or higher Negotiated Rate(s) or rate(s) under a Negotiated Rate
Formula. If the Negotiated Rate or the rate under a Negotiated Rate
Formula are always higher than the corresponding Recourse Rate, the
Recourse Rate rather than the Negotiated Rate will be used as the
price cap for release capacity pursuant to Section 14.8 of these
General Terms and Conditions and for the Right of First Refusal
pursuant to Section 16.2 of these General Terms and Conditions. Where
the Negotiated Rate(s) or rate(s) under a Negotiated Rate Formula
results in revenue which is greater than the Recourse Rate during
certain portions of the relevant evaluation period but less than the
revenue at the Recourse Rate during other portions of the relevant
evaluation period (but the revenue pursuant to the Negotiated Rate(s)
or rate(s) under a Negotiated Rate Formula equals or exceeds that
which would be generated at the Recourse Rate for the entire
evaluation period), the value of bids and requests at the Negotiated
Rate(s) or rate(s) under a Negotiated Rate Formula for capacity award
purposes shall be evaluated as though the Recourse Rate applied under
such bid or request for the entire evaluation period. Where the
Negotiated Rate(s) or rate(s) under the Negotiated Rate Formula result
in revenue which is less than revenue at the Recourse Rate over the
relevant evaluation period, the value of the bids or requests at the
Negotiated Rate(s) or rate(s) under the Negotiated Rate Formula for
capacity award purposes shall be evaluated based on such lower revenue
and shall be afforded a correspondingly lower priority in a capacity
award procedure than bids or requests at the Recourse Rate.
30.3 ACCOUNTING FOR COSTS AND REVENUES
The allocation of costs to and the recording of revenues
from service at Negotiated Rate(s) or under a Negotiated Rate Formula
will follow KMLP's normal practices associated with all of its
services under this Tariff. KMLP will maintain separate records of
Negotiated Rate and Negotiated Rate Formula transactions for each
billing period.
