The receipt point during the winter period is limited to the Jackson Prairie Receipt Point. If on any day during the winter period, Shipper or any Replacement Shipper nominates from any other receipt point, the maximum reservation rate will apply for a one-year period following each such occurrence, with one exception.

      If Shipper hereafter reduces the amount of TF-1 maximum rate Contract Demand it held under any of its Rate Schedule TF-1 Service Agreements in effect at the time Shipper was awarded this capacity, both the winter period and summer period discounts detailed above will concurrently terminate, and Shipper will pay the maximum TF-1 reservation rate for the remainder of the Agreement term. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Transporter will not have the right to terminate the Agreement discounts if such reduction in Contract Demand by Shipper is attributable to: (i) a temporary release of capacity from the Shipper to another; (ii) the expiration of a temporary release of capacity to the Shipper; (iii) the turning back of capacity by the Shipper in a reverse open season for use by Transporter in a capacity expansion; (iv) or a reduction that was mutually agreed to by Shipper and Transporter.
