GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS (Continued)
(c) Transporter shall calculate its cumulative gross capital investment in Qualified Capital
Investments, as such term is defined in Section 33.3 of the General Terms and Conditions of
this Tariff, from the date of its filing of this IFF mechanism ("Cumulative Qualified Capital
Investments").
(d) Transporter shall calculate the amount, if any, by which the Excess Retainage Revenues exceed
50 percent of Transporter's Cumulative Qualified Capital Investments ("Threshold").
Transporter shall share 10 percent of the amount above the Threshold with Shippers ("Shipper
Retainage Revenues"). Shipper Retainage Revenues shall be determined as follows:
SRR = 0.10 X [ERR - (0.50 X CQCI)]
Where:
SRR = Shipper Retainage Revenues
ERR = Excess Retainage Revenues
CQCI = Cumulative Qualified Capital Investments
(e) Transporter shall allocate Shipper Retainage Revenues to each Shipper based on its pro rata
share of the total CUG and LAUF retainage provided by Shippers to Transporter through the
Retainage rates for that such Annual Period covered by Annual Report filed pursuant to Section
33.4.
(f) If at any time the IFF Mechanism is terminated, the Excess Retainage remaining at the time of
termination shall be sold within six months.
