They include: effective date and legal authority to enterinto an agreement with the wholesale service entity; discussion of owner andwholesale customer facilities involved in the agreement; contract capacityrequirements and basis for revision to initial contract capacities; initial basis ofcharge, billing frequency, due date, and notification process for revisions to initial ratesand charges; charges for exceeding contractual capacities; location of meteringand/or sampling facilities and ownership/maintenance responsibilities of such facilities;basis for metering, sampling, and billing; pretreatment agreement; terms ofagreement and basis/procedures for early termination; provision for arbitration ofdisputes; and, miscellaneous other issues.
