month in accordance with Paragraph 8.1. In accordance with GISB

Standard 3.3.17, Version 1.0, party making payment should submit

payment per supporting documentation provided by the paying party;

and if payment differs from invoiced amount, remittance detail

9.4 Remedies for Failure to Pay: If such failure to pay continues for

sixty (60) days after payment is due, Seller, in addition to any

other remedy it may have, may (subject to obtaining requisite

regulatory approval) suspend further delivery of gas until such

amount is paid, unless Buyer in good faith disputes the amount

owing and pays such amount as it concedes to be correct. Either

party may submit to arbitration in accordance with Paragraph 17

any dispute as to the amount due Seller hereunder.

9.5 Late Billing: If presentation of a bill by Seller is delayed

after the due date, then the time for payment shall be extended

correspondingly unless Buyer is responsible for such delay.

misrepresentation or mutual mistake of fact. Parties' other

statutory or contractual rights shall not otherwise be diminished

by this standard.
