5.3 (a) Shipper shall reimburse Natural within five (5)
days after costs have been incurred by Natural for all fees required

specifically related to service for that Shipper hereunder and are
not generally applicable fees (such as general rate case filing
fees).
(b) If Natural constructs, acquires or modifies any
facilities to perform service hereunder, then as specified in an
agreement between the parties either:
(i) Shipper shall reimburse Natural for the cost
of such facilities or facility modifications as described in the
General Terms and Conditions of this Tariff; or
(ii) Natural shall assess a monthly charge
reflecting such facility costs.

with any appropriate regulatory authority and make changes effective
in (1) the rates and charges applicable under this Rate Schedule
ITS, including both the level and design of such rates and charges;
or (2) the terms and conditions of this Rate Schedule ITS. Natural
agrees that Shipper may protest or contest the aforementioned
filings, or may seek authorization from duly constituted regulatory
authorities for such adjustment of Natural's existing FERC Gas

just and reasonable.

higher rate for the service hereunder, the rate shall, subject to
