3.9 Negotiated Rates
Shipper and Trunkline may agree, on a prospective basis, to a
Negotiated Rate with respect to the charges identified in Sections
3.1 and 3.2 herein which may be less than, equal to or greater
than the Maximum Rate; shall not be less than the Minimum Rate;
may be based on a rate design other than straight fixed variable;
and may include a minimum quantity. Such Negotiated Rate shall be
set forth on Exhibit D of the executed Service Agreement and on
the currently effective Tariff Sheet No. 19. The Maximum Rate
shall be available to any Shipper that does not choose a
Negotiated Rate.
Shippers paying a Negotiated Rate which exceeds the Maximum Rate
will be considered to be paying the Maximum Rate for purposes of
scheduling, curtailment and interruption, calculating the economic
value of a request for unsubscribed firm capacity, and matching
competing bids for the right of first refusal. Replacement
Shippers may not bid or pay a rate greater than the Maximum Rate
and are not eligible for Negotiated Rates.
In the event that capacity subject to a Negotiated Rate which is
based on a rate design other than straight fixed variable is
released, Shipper and Trunkline may agree on billing adjustments
to the Releasing Shipper that may vary from or are in addition to
those set forth in Section 9.9 of the General Terms and Conditions
in order to establish the basis of accounting for revenues from a
Replacement Shipper as a means of preserving the economic bases of
the Negotiated Rate. Such payment obligation and crediting
mechanism for capacity release shall be set forth on Exhibit D of
the executed Service Agreement. Nothing in this Section 3.9 shall
authorize Trunkline or Shipper to negotiate terms and conditions
of service.
