Service under this Rider shall be available to Customers who are otherwise eligible for service under Rate Schedule 311, 315, 316, 317, 321 and 325 and are eligible for service under the SCDS Rider. Provided, however, in the first year this Rider is made available it shall be available to up to an additional 50,000 residential customers who are not eligible for SCDS. An eligible Customer electing to receive service under this optional Rider shall have the ability to chose either a fixed price or a price cap, as provided in this Rider, which price shall apply to all gas supply commodity delivered under this Rider. The elected price shall apply in lieu of the otherwise applicable gas supply commodity charge included in the base rate schedule under which the Customer takes service (e.g. Rate Schedule 311, 315, 316, 317, 321 or 325).

The initial term of this Rider shall be for a term of two years upon approval of the Commission and shall be available thereafter as extended by the Company in its sole discretion. The number of customers eligible for service under this Rider shall be subject to limitation by the Company, in its sole discretion, based upon operational and administrative considerations that may affect its ability to provide the described service options.
