the extent necessary to verify the accuracy of any statement, chart, or
computation made under or pursuant to the provisions of this tariff.
15.5 Payment method and due date: Customer shall make payment to Texas Gas by
electronic funds transfer to a depository designated by Texas Gas, unless
Customer, whose total monthly invoices are less than $100,000, elects to make
payment by check. All payments are due ten (10) calendar days after the

15.6 Penalty for late payment: Should Customer fail to pay all or a portion of any
invoice when such amount is due, as herein provided, Customer shall pay Texas
Gas interest. Interest on the unpaid portion of the invoice shall be computed
by multiplying (a) the unpaid portion of the invoice by (b) the ratio of the
number of days from the due date to the date of actual payment to 365, by (c)
the current rate of interest on pipeline refunds established by Commission
regulations. The interest charge provided for by this Section 15.6 shall be
