In addition Federation Press shall be entitled to make a claim against the Customer's customer for any purchase moneys unpaid by such Customer provided that Federation Press shall return to the Customer any moneys recovered in excess of the amount then owed by the Customer to Federation Press together with costs and expenses involved in making such claim.
