    The Customer may contract for the installation and use of Company-owned compression equipment at the Customer's operated and owned or leased CNG facility, excluding equipment to be installed on motor vehicles. A suitable contract shall be entered into with the Customer and such contract will detail the size, type, value and site requirements of all necessary compression equipment to be provided, installed, and maintained by the Company at the Customer’s CNG facility. The Customer shall provide electrical service and power to such compression equipment. In addition to the charges listed in this rate schedule, the Customer shall agree to pay, on a monthly basis, 2.20% of the installed cost of the Company-owned compression equipment as listed in the contract for service hereunder. The Company may establish minimum criteria and contractual provisions for installing compression equipment to justify the required investment in the Customer's installation, and may discontinue service hereunder and remove all Company-owned equipment installed at the Customer's premises upon thirty days' written notice to the Customer if, at the sole discretion of the Company, such contractual provisions are note being fulfilled. In the event that service is discontinued under such circumstances, all amounts due the Company shall be paid, including the Monthly Customer Charge for the term of the contract.
