11. POLICY WITH RESPECT TO FEES AND CONSTRUCTION OF NEW FACILITIES
11.1 Except as provided in Section 11.2 herein, Customer shall reimburse Pipeline (a) for
the costs of any facilities installed by Pipeline with Customer's consent to receive,
measure, transport or deliver natural gas for Customer's account and (b) for any and
all filings and approval fees required in connection with Customer's Service Agreement
that Pipeline is obligated to pay to the Commission or any other governmental authority
having jurisdiction. Any reimbursement due Pipeline by Customer pursuant to this
Section 11.1 shall be due and payable to Pipeline within ten (10) days of receipt by
Customer of Pipeline's bill(s) for same; provided, however, subject to Pipeline's
consent such reimbursement, plus carrying charges thereon, may be amortized over a
mutually agreeable period not to extend beyond the primary contract term of the service
agreement between Pipeline and Customer. Carrying charges shall be computedutilizing
interest factors acceptable to both Pipeline and Customer.
11.2 Pipeline may waive from time to time, at its discretion, all or a portion of the
facility cost reimbursement requirement set forth in Section 11.1 for Rate Schedules
CDS, FT-1, SCT, PTI, IT-1, LLFT, LLIT, VKFT, VKIT, SS-1 and FSS-1 if Customer provides
Pipeline adequate assurances of transportation throughput to make construction of the
facilities economical to Pipeline. All requests for waiver shall be handled by
Pipeline in a manner which is not unduly discriminatory. For purposes of determining
whether a project is economical, Pipeline will evaluate projects on the basis of
various economic criteria, which will include the estimated transportation throughput,
cost of the facilities, operating and maintenance as well as administrative and general
expenses attributable to the facilities, the revenues Pipeline estimates will be
generated as a result of such construction, and the availability of capital funds on
terms and conditions acceptable to Pipeline. In estimating the revenues to be
generated, Pipeline will evaluate the existence of capacity limitations downstream of
the facilities, the marketability of the capacity, the location of the markets, the
interruptible versus the firm nature of the transportation service, and other similar
factors which impact whether the available deliverability will actually be transported.
