TRANSPORTATION GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
(Continued)
18. OPERATING PROVISIONS (Continued)
18.3 Creditworthiness (Continued)
(A) Creditworthiness for Firm Transportation Service (Continued)
(2) (Continued)
(b) Shipper will be deemed to be non-creditworthy if it
is rated below a BBB/Baa2 equivalent standard by any
rating agency or if its credit limit is insufficient
to cover Shipper's total contractual obligation, as
described in Paragraph 18.3(G) of these Transportation
General Terms and Conditions of Service. GTN will set
credit limits at 10% of a Shipper's Tangible Net Worth
(defined as Shipper's total assets, less liabilities,
less intangible assets, less off-balance sheet items).
If Shipper's credit limit as determined by GTN is
insufficient to cover Shipper's total contractual
obligation, GTN will inform Shipper in writing as to
the reasons Shipper has been deemed non-creditworthy.
If Shipper does not establish or maintain
creditworthiness as described above, Shipper has the
option of receiving transportation service under this
FERC Gas Tariff by providing to GTN one of the
following alternatives: a guarantee acceptable to GTN,
collateral (i.e., cash or letter of credit), or
security as described in (i) through (iv) below. GTN
may deny subsequent requests to substitute credit
assurances on a not unduly discriminatory basis and
will provide Shipper with a written explanation of any
denial of a request to substitute credit assurances.
