    (c) If at any point, a customer postponement results in a launch 

date more than 12 months later than the original scheduled launch date, 

the standard flight price for the customer's payload may be adjusted by 

NASA to reflect any new standard flight price applicable at the time of 

the postponed launch, if such new price is higher than the originally 

contracted price.

    (d) The payment schedule for postponed flights will be as defined in 

Sec. 1214.103(h)(2).

    (e) Customers postponing the flight of a payload may also be subject 

to new or additional charges for optional services.
