In the event the Bureau of Labor Statistics stops publishing the CPI-U or substantially changes its content and format, DIR and Service Provider shall substitute another comparable index published at least annually by a mutually agreeable source. The baseline index for purposes of calculating the ECA shall be the CPI-U for the average of the six (6) months ending May of the previous year (the “Previous Year Index”). If the Bureau of Labor Statistics merely redefines the base year for the Price Index from 1982-84 to another year, DIR and Service Provider will continue to use CPI-U, but will convert the Previous Year Index by using an appropriate conversion formula. Beginning with the start of Contract Year 2 and continuing each Contract Year thereafter for the remainder of the Term, the actual CPI-U for the average of the six
