shall be reasonable for
Freebird to withhold consent if (a) Shipper requests consent to assign less
than its entire interest in a Service Agreement, or (b) the proposed assignee
does not meet Freebird's creditworthiness requirements as described in this
Gas Tariff. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Freebird may assign its rights and
obligations under a Service Agreement to an affiliate without the prior
consent of Shipper. These restrictions on assignment shall not in any way
prevent any party from pledging or mortgaging its rights under a Service
Agreement as security for its indebtedness (but never in contravention of
Freebird's liens and security interest on Shipper's Gas in storage). Any
direct or indirect assignment of Service Agreement rights by Shipper under
this Section shall be made in good faith and not for the purpose of avoiding
the requirements of the capacity release provisions of this Gas Tariff.
22.6 Imbalance Management Services Provided by Third Parties.
Nothing in this FERC Gas Tariff is intended to inhibit the development of or
discriminate against the use of, imbalance management services provided by
third parties or Freebird's Shippers. Any party interested in providing
imbalance management services must coordinate with
Freebird.
22.7 Forward Contracts; Eligible Contract Participants
Each parking transaction and loaning transaction entered into subject to this
Tariff which has a maturity date more than two Days after the date the
transaction is entered into will constitute a "forward contract" pursuant to
Section 101(25) of Title 11 of the United States Code, 11 U.S.C. §§ 101, et
seq. (as amended, the "United States Bankruptcy Code"); the Parties to such
transactions are each "forward contract merchants" within the meaning
of Section 101(26) of the United States Bankruptcy Code; and the payments made
to each Party with respect to such transactions constitute "settlement
payments" within the meaning of Section 101(51A) of the United States
Bankruptcy Code. To the extent any transaction under any Service Agreement is
deemed to be a forward contract, each Party shall be deemed to represent at
the time it enters into such transaction that it is an "eligible contract
participant," as defined in the Commodity Exchange Act, 7 U.S.C. § 1a(12).
Notwithstanding the other terms of this Section 22.7 or any other section of
this Tariff, this Tariff shall at all times be construed consistently with the
United States Bankruptcy Code, provided that if any aspect of this Tariff is
deemed to be inconsistent with the United States Bankruptcy Code, it may be
reformed to the extent necessary to make it fully consistent with the United
States Bankruptcy Code. To the extent that both Freebird and/or its
customer(s) are not in bankruptcy, Freebird does not intend for this
provision to override the Commission's regulations and policies.
