Original Sheet No. 6C Original Sheet No. 6C : Effective
7/ Eastchester Credits. To the extent that either through a FERC-approved
settlement agreement or through its Gas Tariff, Iroquois' firm Eastchester
recourse rate is or would have been effectively reduced on a 100% load factor
basis to less than $0.59/Dth by Eastchester Credit(s), then Con Edison shall
receive a refund or credit to its rate to reflect the same effectively
reduced rate on its year-round capacity position of 30,000 Dt/day during the
period July 1, 2004 through January 1, 2008 or the period that the RP04-136
rates are effective, whichever is longer. "Eastchester Credits" shall include
any credits, payments, remittances, refunds, adjustments or the like related
to insurance proceeds, litigation costs, civil judgments and restitutions or
similar items recovered by Iroquois from claims and/or legal or regulatory
proceedings related to the construction of the Eastchester Project, netted
against any litigation costs, civil judgments, and restitutions rendered
against Iroquois from claims and/or legal or regulatory proceedings related
to the initial construction of the Eastchester Project [hereinafter
"Eastchester Costs"]. In determining the amount of the Eastchester Credit,
Iroquois shall: (1) calculate an implied initial annual revenue stream based
upon the RP04-136 recourse rate and the billing determinants of 230,000
Dt/day; and (2) on the earlier of December 31, 2012 or the date the
Eastchester Credit can be accurately quantified, Iroquois shall then deduct
10% of the Eastchester Credit from such implied initial annual revenue stream
(in order to spread such Eastchester Credit over the ten year period of the
rate) and recalculate a new implied rate by dividing this new revenue stream
by the billing determinants. Refunds or credits will be provided to Con
Edison to the extent such resulting implied rate is less than $0.59/Dth; such
refunds or credits shall include interest as calculated at the FERC-approved
interest rate.
8/ In the event that after June 1, 2004, Iroquois executes with any other
Eastchester Shipper (defined for purposes of this rate sheet as (KeySpan-
Ravenswood, LLC, Consolidated Edison Company of New York, Inc.,
Virginia Power Energy Marketing, Inc., and Reliant Energy Services, Inc.))
or an affiliate of an Eastchester Shipper a settlement agreement,
negotiated rate agreement, or discounted rate agreement for Eastchester
capacity and that settlement, negotiated rate, or discounted rate
agreement (1) resolves rate issues as between such Eastchester Shipper and
Iroquois in Docket No. RP04-136, regardless of whether such Eastchester
Shipper was an active participant in that proceeding; and (2) provides for a
rate given to such other Eastchester Shipper or its affiliate for the
remainder of the primary term of its Eastchester service agreement that is
less on a 100% load factor basis than $0.59/Dth exclusive of surcharges
and/or that has discounted or eliminated surcharges, then Con Edison will
receive such lower rate and/or surcharge(s) or will have such surcharge(s)
terminated effective as of the same date(s) as they are received by such
Eastchester Shipper or affiliate pursuant to its year-round capacity
position of 30,000 Dt/day for the term of its service agreement.
9/ This Letter Agreement resolves any and all issues in Iroquois' Docket No.
RP04-136 related to the Eastchester rates for Rate Schedule RTS; provided,
however, that Con Edison does not waive any of its rights to participate in
the proceedings in Docket No. RP04-136 on issues concerning the quality of
Con Edison's Eastchester service, the terms and conditions of such service,
or new services.
