GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS (Continued)
154.67 of FERC's regulations. If such failure to pay continues for thirty days after
payment is due and Transporter has provided Shipper and the FERC with at least fifteen
(15) days notice that service will terminate due to the non-payment, Transporter, in
addition to any other remedy it may have under the Transportation Agreement, may
terminate the Transportation Agreement; provided, however, that if Shipper in good faith
shall dispute the amount of any such bill or part thereof and shall pay to Transporter
such amounts as it concedes to be correct and at any time within thirty days after a
demand made by Transporter shall furnish good and sufficient surety bond, guaranteeing
payment to Transporter of the amount ultimately found due upon such bills after a final
determination which may be reached either by agreement or judgment of the courts, as may
be the case, then Transporter shall not be entitled to terminate the Transportation
Agreement until a default is made in the conditions of such bond.
3. Adjustment of underpayment, overpayment or error in billing: If it shall be found that
at any time Shipper has been overcharged or undercharged in any form whatsoever under
the provisions of this Tariff or the Transportation Agreement and Shipper shall have
actually paid the bills containing such overcharge or undercharge, then within thirty
days after the final determination thereof, Transporter shall refund the amount of such
overcharge and Shipper shall pay the amount of any such undercharge; provided, however,
that interest calculated in accord with Section 2 of this Article VI shall apply to any
undercharge or overcharge not paid or refunded within thirty days from the date of the
determination of such undercharge or overcharge. In the event an error is discovered in
the amount billed in any statement rendered by Transporter such error shall be adjusted
within thirty days of the determination thereof provided that claim therefor shall have
been made within sixty days from the date of discovery of such error.

arising out of or in any way connected with (i) the quality, use or condition of the gas
after delivery from Transporter for the account of such Shipper, (ii) any losses or shrinkage
of gas during or resulting from transportation hereunder, and (iii) all other claims and
demands arising out of Transporter's performance of its duties hereunder, and (iii) all other
