14.2.1

As payments from Customer are received, Dominion shall allow Customer to reduce the level of such security as may be in place, to an appropriate amount equal to Dominion’s estimated remaining Project cost.

14.2.1

If Customer disputes all or part of any ▇▇▇▇, Customer shall promptly supply Dominion with a reasonably detailed written explanation of the basis for the dispute. In the event of a billing dispute, Dominion shall continue to perform under this Agreement so long as (i) Customer continues to make all payments not in dispute, and (ii) Customer pays into an independent escrow account for the portion of the invoice in dispute, pending resolution of the dispute; or as an alternative to escrow, Customer pays such amount directly to Dominion and Dominion shall return any portion thereof due Customer upon resolution of the dispute. If an escrow is established, it shall be established by Customer under terms agreeable to Dominion, which agreement shall not be unreasonably withheld. Upon ultimate resolution of the dispute, the prevailing Party shall be entitled to receive the disputed amount, as finally determined to be payable, along with interest accrued at the Interest Rate through the date on which payment is made, within fifteen (15) days of such resolution.

Dominion may, at its option, retain any portion of such equipment or materials, in which case Dominion shall be responsible for all costs associated

The decision of the arbitrator(s) may be appealed solely on the grounds that the conduct of the arbitrator(s), or the decision itself, violated the standards set forth in the Federal Arbitration Act or the Administrative Dispute Resolution Act. The final decision of the arbitrator must also be filed with FERC if it affects jurisdictional rates, terms and conditions of service under this Agreement.

20.5

General – No Default shall exist where such failure to discharge an obligation (other than the payment of money) is the result of Force Majeure as defined in this Agreement or the result of an act of omission of the other Party. Upon a Breach, the non-breaching Party shall give written notice of such Breach to the breaching Party. Except as provided in Article 21.3, the breaching Party shall have thirty (30) Calendar Days from receipt of the Default notice within which to cure such Breach; provided however, if such Breach is not capable of cure within thirty (30) Calendar Days, the breaching Party shall commence such cure within thirty (30) Calendar Days after notice and continuously and diligently complete such cure within ninety (90) Calendar Days from receipt of the Default notice; and, if cured within such time, the Breach specified in such notice shall cease to exist.
