9. Pavment:
9.1 On a monthly basis, unless otherwise approved by Public Agency, ABAG will provide,
or cause to be provided, to Public Agency a consolidated invoice for the Public Agency's facilities
serviced under this Agreement. Invoices will be directed to and payment is to be made directly by
Public Agency to the escrow account designated pursuant to Paragraph 10 of this Agreement.
Payment is due immediately upon receipt of the invoice. Late payment charges at the rate of one and
a half percent (1.5 %) per month calculated daily on the outstanding balance will be imposed
commencing on the thirty-first (31st) day after the mailing date of the invoice. Late payment charges
may, at ABAG's sole discretion, be debited against Public Agency's Credit Account as defined in
Paragraph 9.3.
-3-
9.2 ABAG will invoice Public Agency, and Public Agency will pay, in fifteen (15)
monthly installments sums representing payments in advance for the natural gas and services provided
under this Agreement (Invoiced Amounts). Initially, Invoiced Amounts will be based on ABAG's
estimate of Public Agency's consumption of natural gas for the month leveled to eliminate extreme
consumption fluctuations but adjusted to reflect moderated seasonal fluctuations. Each invoice will
also identify the costs, if any, of natural gas, transportation, utility charges, operational fees and
administration fees charged to Public Agency for the period identified in the .invoice (Actual Charges).
Any disputes between the parties regarding the amount of any Actual Charges shall be resolved
pursuant to Section H of Exhibit B to this Agreement and the Credit Account, as defined in Paragraph
9.3 will be adjusted as soon as practicable to reflect the resolution of the dispute.
9.3 For each invoice, ABAG will calculate (a) the difference between the Invoiced Amount
and the Actual Charges, and (b) the difference between the cumulative total of the Invoiced Amounts
and the cumulative total of Actual Charges, adjusted pursuant to Paragraphs 9.1 and 9.2 (Credit
Account). Public Agency recognizes that the Credit Account is a calculation of payments, credits,
debits and charges made pursuant to this Agreement and that ABAG will not be required to establish
actual fund accounts on behalf of, or in the name of Public Agency, with monies.
9.4 In accordance with the terms of Paragraph 10, ABAG will first apply the Invoiced
Amounts to the payment of Actual Charges. Public Agency acknowledges that during the term of this
Agreement ABAG has the right to use monies in the amount reflected in the Credit Account to pay
Actual Charges incurred by other Participants in the Program as such Actual Charges become due.
Such use of the monies will not be a debit against the Credit Account and will not obviate, eliminate
or modify ABAG's obligation to pay Public Agency the Credit Account amount pursuant to Paragraph
13.3. ABAG retains the right to modify Invoiced Amounts to increase the sum of Credit Accounts in
the Program in order to timely pay Actual Charges as they become due.
9.5 The initial invoice will be dated March 1, 1996 and must be paid by April 1, 1996
(Start Date), or this Agreement terminates on April 1, 1996. Upon prior written notice to Public
Agency, ABAG may delay the Start Date to accommodate Program requirements.
9. 6 In the event Public Agency fails to make timely payment, consistent with the terms
employed by ABAG, in addition to any other remedy it may have hereunder and notwithstanding the
existence of any late payment penalty, ABAG may declare Public Agency to be in default and
terminate the agreement. ABAG is further authorized to bill Public Agency for reasonable charges
associated with demands for payment on late accounts as well as reasonable charges associated with
suspension and resumption of service hereunder.
W, ■
10. Disbursement of Funds: Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, ABAG agrees
to provide for sale and delivery, and Public Agency agrees to receive and to pay ABAG for natural
gas . Further, Public Agency agrees to pay for the Actual Charges.
10.1 An escrow account for the purposes of receiving payments by Participants and making
payments to the Utilities, the gas supplier and other payees as authorized by ABAG will be
established.
10.2 The instructions for this escrow account have been approved by ABAG, and shall
include a list of the authorized recipients of payments from the account.
10.3 Only ABAG may authorize release of funds from the escrow account, and such shall
only be to those payees identified in the escrow instructions.
11. Gas Program Pricing: The gas charges to the participants will include the gas commodity per
therm rate which shall be equal to ninety-four and one-half percent (94.5 %) of the Utility's core
subscription weighted average cost of gas (WACOG) multiplied by Public Agency's gas usage plus
the applicable utility transportation charges. Any storage injection charges or storage withdraw
credits will be calculated at the gas commodity per therm rate for the applicable month. The gas
commodity price stated in this paragraph shall remain in effect until June 30, 1997 .
12. Chance of Regulations: Any future change in law, rule or regulation, or utility practice which
prohibits or frustrates ABAG or the Public Agency from carrying out the terms of this Agreement
shall excuse both parties from their obligations, other than the obligation of Public Agency to make
payments due for gas and services received.
13. Cancellation of Service:
13.1 Cancellation by Public Agencv: Commencing in 1997, Public Agency may only
withdraw or cancel this Agreement consistent with the rules and regulations promulgated by the
CPUC and in a manner which releases ABAG from all responsibility and liability related to the
subject matter of the Agreement. Public Agency may cancel the contract by giving ABAG written
notice by June 15 of its intent to terminate on June 30 of that current year. ABAG may limit a Public
Agency's ability to cancel at dates other than June 30.
13.2 Cancellation by ABAG: Actions by the utilities and/or CPUC to develop rules which
are in conflict with sound business practices, or impose unnecessary risk on either party to this
Agreement, or substantially prevent ABAG from performing its functions under this Agreement may
result in the cancellation of this Agreement by ABAG. ABAG shall give Public Agency written notice
ninety (90) days prior to such cancellation and both parties shall work diligently to minimize the
negative effects on ABAG and the Public Agency of such cancellation.
-5-
13.3 Credit Account Pavout: Within ninety (90) days after cancellation, ABAG will pay to
