(a) Guarantee: Shipper may obtain a guarantee of financial
performance in a form satisfactory to GTN from a corporate
affiliate of the Shipper or a third party, either of which
meets the creditworthiness standard discussed above. For
these companies, the credit limit will be based upon the
financials of the guarantor. A form of guarantee is
available on GTN's Internet website. If during the term of
service the guarantor does not meet the creditworthiness
standards discussed above, then GTN may request additional
credit assurances as described in (a) through (e) below if
GTN agrees to release the original guarantor of all
obligations at the time Shipper provides the additional
assurances.
(b) Cash Options: A Shipper may provide cash as security for
service via cleared check or wire transfer. Shippers may
provide either of the following forms of cash security:
(i) A cash security deposit up to the maximum amount of
the services that may be provided in any three-month
period under an interruptible Agreement. Such cash
security deposit will remain in place to allow
continued service under Shipper's IT Agreement(s).
Cash security deposits will earn interest at the FERC
interest rate consistent with Section 154.501 of the
Commission's regulations. Interest will be paid by
GTN on an annual basis each September 1 or at the time
Shipper's deposit is returned due to either a return
to creditworthiness by Shipper or the expiration of
Shipper's Agreement(s).
