PURCHASED GAS ADJUSTMENT PROVISION
The above net monthly rate per unit sold is predicated upon a price of
gas purchased for resale hereunder of $4.4296 per Mcf. To the extent
that Entex's price of gas to be purchased (adjusted to correct any
prior variations from actual costs) for resale hereunder increases or
decreases, said net monthly rate shall be adjusted up or down to
reflect (i) changes in .such cost of gas per unit sold and (ii) changes
in gross receipts taxes resulting from such increases or decreases in
the net monthly rate. For purposes of calculating said adjustment, it
shall be proper for Entex to determine its cost of gas from its several
suppliers and the gross receipts taxes to be paid on the basis of a
logical geographical area. Entex will not include in the purchased gas
adjustment computation an unaccounted for gas expense of more than 7%
of the purchase cost. Such determination shall be made for each twelve
month period ending in June. Any amount collected in excess of this
limitation attributable to unaccounted for gas expense shall be
utilized to reduce the cost of purchased gas during the ensuing twelve
months.
If Entex receives any refunds of any increased cost of purchased gas
that have been passed on under this provision, a refund shall be made
to consumers served by this rate schedule.
Service under this schedule shall be furnished in accordance with the
Company's General Rules and Regulations.
