GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
(Continued)
25. CONSTRUCTION OF NEW RECEIPT OR DELIVERY FACILITIES (continued)
25.2 Except as provided in Section 25.4 herein, Customer shall
reimburse Steckman Ridge for (a) the costs of any facilities
installed by Steckman Ridge with Customer's consent to receive,
measure, store or deliver natural Gas for Customer's account and
(b) any and all filings and approval fees required in connection
with Customer's Service Agreement that Steckman Ridge is obligated
to pay to the Commission or any other governmental authority
having jurisdiction.
25.3 Any reimbursement due Steckman Ridge by Customer pursuant to
Sections 25.1 or 25.2 shall be due and payable to Steckman Ridge
within ten (10) days of receipt by Customer of Steckman Ridge's
invoice(s) for same; provided, however, subject to Steckman
Ridge's consent, such reimbursement, plus carrying charges
thereon, may be amortized over a mutually agreeable period not to
extend beyond the primary term of the Service Agreement between
Steckman Ridge and Customer. Carrying charges shall be computed
utilizing interest factors acceptable to both Steckman Ridge and
Customer.
25.4 Steckman Ridge may waive from time to time, at its discretion, all
or a portion of the facility cost reimbursement requirement set
forth in Section 25.2 for Rate Schedules FSS, EPS, ELS, ISS, IPS
and ILS if Customer provides Steckman Ridge adequate assurances to
make construction of the facilities economical to Steckman Ridge.
All requests for waiver shall be handled by Steckman Ridge in a
manner which is not unduly discriminatory. For purposes of
determining whether a project is economical, Steckman Ridge will
evaluate projects on the basis of various economic criteria, which
will include the estimated cost of the facilities, operating and
maintenance as well as administrative and general expenses
attributable to the facilities, the revenues Steckman Ridge
estimates will be generated as a result of such construction, and
the availability of capital funds on terms and conditions
acceptable to Steckman Ridge. In estimating the revenues to be
generated, Steckman Ridge will evaluate the existence of capacity
limitations downstream of the facilities, the marketability of the
capacity, the interruptible versus the firm nature of the service,
and other similar factors which impact whether the available
capacity will actually be utilized.
