subject to the following adjustments: Plus or minus the amount of any increase
or decrease, respectively, above or below the $1.3488 per Mcf level in the
intracompany city gate charge as authorized by the Railroad Commission of the
State of Texas or other regulatory body having jurisdiction for gas delivered
to Lone Star Gas Company's distribution system for sale to residential and
commercial consumers where such changes are caused by increase or decreases
in the cost of gas purchased by the Company; plus an amount equivalent to the
proportionate part of any new tax, or increased tax, or any other governmental

is $1.3488 per Mcf. Any increase over such base city gate charge added to any
other adjustment charge described in the adjustments clause above shall not be
charged to a customer's monthly bill to the extent such total adjustment exceeds
30% of $1.3488 per Mcf used by such customer during any monthly billing period.
This 30% limitation shall be effective during the twelve month period from the
effective date of this rate change.
A customer shall receive as a deduction from his monthly bill 100% of any
decrease in the said gate rate charge below $1.3488 per Mcf for any month or
months during the said year should any decrease or decreases occur.
