GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS

(Continued)

as defined in Section 31 of these General Terms and Conditions, or

if the prospective Customer satisfies BLUEWATER's credit appraisal

criteria based on an evaluation of the material provided by

prospective Customer pursuant to this Section. If BLUEWATER

concludes that a prospective Customer is not creditworthy, BLUEWATER

shall provide written notice to the prospective Customer within ten

(10) days after that determination is made. If requested by the

prospective Customer, BLUEWATER will provide a written explanation

of the basis for its determination within five (5) days of such

request. A prospective Customer may challenge BLUEWATER's

determination by providing a written rebuttal in accordance with

Section 3.3(j)(6) of these General Terms and Conditions. BLUEWATER

shall respond to such a rebuttal in writing within five (5) business

days in accordance with Section 3.3(j)(7). Any reevaluation of

credit by BLUEWATER in response to such a rebuttal by a prospective

Customer shall be based on the creditworthiness criteria set forth

in this Section.

financial statements, annual reports, 10-K reports,

interim financial statements with attestation by the

Chief Financial Officer (or equivalent) that such

the service billing will be paid promptly as a cost of

administration under the bankruptcy court's
