9. BILLING AND PAYMENT

9.1 Billing

Sabine will render its bill on or before the tenth

(10th) day of each month for the charges due for

transportation service rendered under an executed

Service Agreement during the previous month, computed

in accordance with the Shipper's applicable Rate

Schedule. Sabine will render additional bills on or

detail supporting the wire transfer shall be mailed

within twenty-four (24) hours of the wire transfer

due, interest on the unpaid portion shall accrue at an

interest rate equal to the current FERC interest rate

regulations, from the date due until the date payment

is received by Sabine.

If such failure to pay for transportation services or

any additional charges continues for thirty (30) days

after such payment is due, in addition to any other

remedy, Sabine may without liability, suspend further

delivery of gas until any overdue amount is paid.

However, if Shipper, in good faith, shall dispute the

amount of any such bill or part thereof and shall pay
