Shipper shall nevertheless pay when due the amount not in dispute under such invoice. Such payment
shall not be deemed to be a waiver of the right by Shipper to recoup any overpayment, nor shall
acceptance of any payment be deemed to be a waiver by PetroLogistics to recoup any underpayment. In
the event Shipper fails to forward the entire undisputed amount due to PetroLogistics when the same is due,
interest on the unpaid portion shall accrue at the same rate of interest and in the same manner as
prescribed for pipeline refunds as set forth in Section 154.501(d) of the Commission's regulations under
the Natural Gas Act from the date such payment is due until the same is paid. If Shipper's failure to pay
the undisputed portion of any invoice rendered hereunder continues beyond thirty (30) Days after the due
date of such invoice, then PetroLogistics, in addition to all other legal remedies available to it, shall
have the right and option to suspend further deliveries on gas until such default shall have been cured.
If Shipper fails to pay the undisputed portion of any invoice, then PetroLogistics, in addition to all
other legal remedies available to it, shall have the right and option to terminate service hereunder.
13.5 Billing Disputes. If Shipper withholds payment of any disputed amount as authorized herein,
Shipper shall within ten (10) Days after the due date of the disputed invoice submit to PetroLogistics a
written explanation of the dispute and any available supporting documentation. The parties shall then
cooperate in good faith to resolve such dispute as expeditiously as possible, and the portion, if any,
of such disputed amount eventually determined to be due shall bear interest at the rate stated in Section
13.4 above from the original due date until the date actually paid.
13.6 Right to Audit. Both PetroLogistics and Shipper shall have the right at their own expense
to examine and audit at any reasonable time the books, records (including measurement, billing and
payment) and charts of the other to the extent necessary to verify the accuracy of any statements or
charges made under or pursuant to any of the provisions of Shipper's Service Agreement. Upon request,
Shipper shall also make available to PetroLogistics for audit purposes and relevant records of
Transporters to which Shipper has access. A formal audit of accounts shall not be made more often than
once each Contract Year. Any inaccuracy will be promptly corrected when discovered; provided, however,
that neither PetroLogistics nor Shipper shall be required to maintain books, records or charts for a
period of more than two (2) Contract Years following the end of the Contract Year to which they are
applicable. Neither PetroLogistics nor Shipper shall have any right to question or contest any charge
or credit if the matter is not called to the attention of the other in writing within two (2) Contract
Years after the end of the Contract Year in question.
13.7 Taxes. If at any time PetroLogistics is required to remit any taxes assessed on the gas
pursuant to Shipper's Service Agreement, then PetroLogistics shall have the right to collect from
Shipper such taxes, including penalties and interest. Shipper agrees to reimburse PetroLogistics for
the taxes assessed on the gas, including any penalties and interest, within fifteen (15) Days of the
date of invoice from PetroLogistics. Shipper shall furnish PetroLogistics information, satisfactory
to PetroLogistics, to enable PetroLogistics to comply with any reports required by state or federal
government and agencies. Shipper recognizes that PetroLogistics may be required to file federal and
state tax returns, and Shipper agrees to furnish PetroLogistics with adequate information pertaining
to the taxation on the gas. Shipper shall coordinate such filings with PetroLogistics.
