creditworthy may be made at any time. Shipper

a material adverse change in the financial

criteria relied on at the time of acceptance.

10.4 Failure to Meet Creditworthiness Criteria

failed to satisfy the credit criteria, such Shipper

may still obtain credit approval by Transporter if it

elects to provide:

equal to the sum of three (3) months' anticipated

reservation charge revenues from Shipper based on

service pursuant to its firm Service Agreement.

Transporter will accrue interest for the account

of Shipper on any cash deposit at the simple prime

rate of interest for the application period

offered by Citibank N.Y. or any successor of

Citibank, N.Y. A Letter of Credit must be in a

form reasonably acceptable to Transporter. Such

security shall be adjusted annually to reflect any

change in the anticipated reservation charge

revenues for the succeeding three (3) months; or
