GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
(Continued)
Should Customer fail to pay any amount when due, interest on the unpaid amount shall accrue at
the rate equal to the rate then set forth in section 154.501 of the Commission's Regulations
(18 C.F.R. § 154.501) from the date payment was due until payment is made. Southern LNG agrees
to waive interest charges on a late payment if such charge is not in excess of $100.00 or if
Customer, through no fault of its own, fails to receive its notice of invoice availability by
the payment due date and notifies Southern LNG of such failure. If any such failure to make
payment continues for twenty (20) days or more, Southern LNG may suspend further service upon
ten (10) days' prior written notice to Customer, but the exercise of such right shall be in
addition to any other remedy available to Southern LNG; provided, however, that if Customer, in
good faith, has disputed the amount of any such bills or parts thereof and paid Southern LNG in
a timely manner such amounts as it concedes to be correct and, at any time thereafter within
thirty (30) days of a demand made by Southern LNG, shall furnish a good and sufficient surety
bond in an amount and with sureties satisfactory to Southern LNG conditioned upon the payment
of any amounts ultimately found due upon such bills after a final determination, which may be
reached either by agreement or judgment of the courts, as the case may be, then Southern LNG
shall not be entitled to suspend further delivery of gas unless and until default be made in
the conditions on such bond. In the event it is finally determined or agreed that no payments
were due from Customer on such disputed bills, then Southern LNG will reimburse Customer for
the cost of procuring the surety bond within ten (10) days after receipt of a detailed invoice
therefor from Customer.
13.4 Prepayment in the Event of Default:
Upon default in payment for a period in excess of twenty (20) days, Southern LNG may require as
a condition to the continuation or recommencement of services a deposit or other acceptable
credit arrangement in an amount equal to not more than three estimated maximum monthly bills
for services.
13.5 Adjustment for Btu factor:
Solely for purposes of billing reservation charges per dekatherm of service, any MSQ or MDVQ
expressed in Customer's Service Agreement in Mcf shall be converted to dekatherms by a Btu
factor of 1.021. This adjustment in no manner obligates Southern LNG to deliver gas at 1,021
Btu/Mcf or changes Southern LNG's use of actual Btu content for other purposes.
