GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
(CONTINUED)
27. CREDITWORTHINESS (continued)
27.3 Credit Requirements for short-term Shippers (continued)
(b) If a Shipper fails to maintain creditworthiness, as
determined by Transporter in accordance with Sections 27.2
or 27.3(a), Shipper may continue to receive service for
fifteen (15) days after written notice from Transporter of
such failure, provided, however, that Shipper furnishes and
maintains in effect one of the following at Shipper's
discretion and acceptable to Transporter: (i) a written
guarantee for unconditional payment from a third party
which is creditworthy as determined above; or (ii) an
irrevocable standby letter of credit; or (iii) an amount
equal to the amount which would be charged to Shipper for
three (3) Month's service or the term of service, whichever
is less, plus an amount equal to the three highest Cashout
payments, if any incurred during the previous twelve
months, plus an amount equal to the cost of Gas associated
with any lending requirements requested under Rate Schedule
PALS; or (iv) other security acceptable to Transporter. If
Shipper fails to provide Transporter with the appropriate
credit under this Section 27.3(b) within such fifteen (15)
day notice period, then Transporter may, without waiving
any rights or remedies it may have, and subject to a 30 day
notice to both the Commission and the Shipper, suspend
further service until Shipper's compliance with 27.2(b) is
obtained, provided, however, that if compliance is not made
within the 30 day notice period, Transporter shall no
longer be obligated to continue to provide service to such
Shipper.
(c) Transporter's credit appraisal procedures involve the
establishment of dollar credit limits on a standardized
nondiscriminatory basis which appraisal shall consider a
number of relevant factors including but not limited to the
cost of constructing any applicable facilities. To the
extent that a Shipper's account(s) with Transporter do not
exceed such limits and/or provided no new information
regarding Shipper's financial or business position becomes
known to Transporter, no new credit approval shall be
necessary for Shipper's existing Agreement(s) unless
subsequently amended; provided however, that Transporter
shall have the right, with Shipper's assistance and
cooperation, to update Shipper's credit file at any time.
