4.4 Negotiated Rates:
(a) Shipper and Transporter may agree, on a prospective basis, to a
Negotiated Rate with respect to the charges identified in Sections 4.1, 4.2,
4.3, and 4.5(a) herein. A Negotiated Rate may be less than, equal to, or
greater than the Maximum FT Rates stated on the applicable effective sheets
of this Tariff, shall not be less than Minimum FT Rates stated on the
applicable effective sheets of this Tariff, may be based on a rate design
other than straight fixed variable, and may include a minimum quantity. A
Negotiated Rate shall be stated in the FT TSA and on the applicable
effective sheets of this Tariff. The Maximum FT Rates shall be available to
any Shipper that does not choose a Negotiated Rate.
(b) Shippers paying a Negotiated Rate that exceeds the Maximum Rates
will be considered to be paying the Maximum Rates for purposes of
scheduling, curtailment, interruption, and matching competing bids for the
right of first refusal, or "ROFR." Replacement Shippers under ROFRs may not
bid or pay a rate greater than the Maximum Rates and are not eligible for
Negotiated Rates.
(c) If capacity subject to a Negotiated Rate that is based on a rate
design other than straight fixed variable is released, Shipper and
Transporter may agree on billing adjustments to the Releasing Shipper that
may vary from or that are in addition to those stated in Section 19 of the
General Terms and Conditions to establish the basis of accounting for revenue
from an Replacement Shipper as a means of preserving the economic basis of
the Negotiated Rate. The payment obligation and crediting mechanism for
capacity release shall be stated in the signed FT TSA. Nothing in this
Section 4.4 authorizes Transporter or Shipper to negotiate terms and
conditions of service.
(d) Transporter will submit to the Commission a tariff sheet stating
the exact legal name of the Shipper, the negotiated rate, the rate schedule,
the contract term, the Receipt Point(s), Delivery Point(s), the MDQ, and the
exact formula underlying a negotiated rate for any negotiated rate agreement.
Unless Transporter executes and files a non-conforming Agreement, such tariff
sheet will contain a statement that the negotiated rate agreement does not
deviate in any material respect from the form of Service Agreement of this
Tariff for the applicable rate schedule.
