GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS

9.2 Unpaid Amounts - Should Buyer or Shipper fail to

on the unpaid amount shall accrue at the rate and

in the manner provided by the Commission's

Regulations, Section 154.67(c)(2)(iii)(A) and (B)

such failure to pay continues for thirty days

responsible for such delay.
