15. PERIODIC RATE ADJUSTMENTS
Periodically rates and charges under Pipeline's FERC Gas Tariff shall be adjusted to reflect
changes in Pipeline's expenditures for electric power, research and development, the Gas
Research Institute, the Annual Charge Adjustment and the Applicable Shrinkage Adjustment.
Such expenditures shall include both expenditures chargeable to operations as well as
expenditures includable in rate base. Pipeline and Customer recognize that Pipeline will
from time to time experience changes in costs related to providing service under this FERC
Gas Tariff, including, but not limited to, changes in the cost of labor, benefits, materials
and supplies, taxes, required rate of return, costs associated with the resolution of past
disputes or outstanding uncertainties concerning amounts owed by Pipeline or Customer or
attributable to Pipeline or Customer, and costs generated by decisions of the Commission, the
courts or by an arbitration panel or other body having jurisdiction over the Pipeline.
Pipeline hereby notifies Customers that it may be appropriate, equitable and consistent with
cost responsibility to allocate such costs among Customers based on or taking into account
past period factors, such as contract demand levels, purchases or other factors related to a
prior period of time. Pipeline hereby notifies Customers that Pipeline shall have the right
from time to time to make rate change filings which may include such costs and utilize an
allocation methodology based in whole or in part on factors related to past periods.
Customer shall have the right to intervene and protest any such filing.
