(ii) If Customer's debt is not rated by a recognized debt

rating service, Customer may, at its own expense,

obtain a private rating from a debt rating service

acceptable to Gulf Crossing and the Customer, prepare

an equivalent evaluation based on the financial

rating methodology, criteria, and ratios for the

industry of the Customer as published by the above

rating agencies.

(b) Customer will be deemed to be non-creditworthy if it is

rated below a BBB-/Baa3 equivalent standard by any rating

Customers, the credit limit will be based upon the

financials of the guarantor. A form of guarantee is

available on Gulf Crossing's Internet Web Site.
