STATEMENT OF NEGOTIATED RATES
2/Reservation Charge Adjustment
(a)(i) Pipeline and Customer acknowledge that the Capital Costs
attributable to the Project facilities, which underlie the
Reservation Charge set forth in footnote 1 above, are reasonably
estimated to be $300 million (2008 dollars). The monthly
Reservation Charge in footnote 1 above shall be adjusted, pursuant
to the formula set forth in this footnote 2(a)(i), solely to
reflect any difference between the estimated $300 million amount
and the amount of Capital Costs attributable to the Project
facilities reflected by Pipeline in Pipeline's post-construction
cost report filed with the FERC for the Project facilities pursuant
to Section 157.20(c)(3) of the FERC's regulations ("Cost Report").
Such monthly Reservation Charge shall be adjusted by an amount per
Dth of MDTQ equal to $0.3042 (equivalent to $0.01 per Dth per Day)
for each $17 million (2008 dollars) increment of Capital Costs (as
reflected in the Cost Report) above or below the estimated $300
million amount. To be clear and for illustrative purposes, if the
Capital Costs reflected in the Cost Report are $291.5 million (an
$8.5 million decrease compared to the estimated $300 million
amount) or $325.5 million (a $25.5 million increase compared to the
estimated $300 million amount), the resulting adjustment to the
monthly Reservation Charge would be a reduction of $0.1521 per Dth
of MDTQ (equivalent to $0.005 per Dth per Day) or an increase of
$0.4563 per Dth of MDTQ (equivalent to $0.015 per Dth per Day),
respectively. For purposes of this Agreement, (1) the term
"Project" means an expansion project designed to construct only the
additional facilities necessary to accommodate service under the
Service Agreement and for which Pipeline is granted (and has
accepted) a certificate (and any amendments thereto) by FERC and
(2) the term "Capital Costs" means the total capital costs incurred
by Pipeline for the development and construction of the Project,
including, without limitation, the allowance for funds used during
construction, as such costs are reflected in the Cost Report,
including all costs incurred to the date of the Cost Report and
estimated to be incurred for final completion of the Project.
Nothing in this Agreement shall limit Customer's right to challenge
or contest the Capital Costs as reflected in the Cost Report.
