GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
3. REQUESTS FOR SERVICE/CREDIT EVALUATIONS (Continued)
3.5 Creditworthiness for Firm Transportation (continued)
(b) (Continued)
(4) Any other security mutually agreed upon by Shipper and
Transporter. Such other security shall be accepted on a non-
discriminatory basis.
3.6 Creditworthiness for Replacement Shippers.
The standards for Firm Transportation Service apply. However, a
Releasing Shipper has the option of waiving the creditworthiness
requirements for temporary releases of capacity for as long as the
Releasing Shipper maintains compliance with Transporter's
creditworthiness requirements.
3.7 Creditworthiness for Expansion Shippers.
Security requirements for Expansion Capacity will be separately
identified within the non-discriminatory project requirements included
as part of any open season for Expansion Capacity. The amount of
security initially required for Expansion Capacity on lateral
facilities will be determined by Transporter and may be up to the cost
of the facilities to be constructed ("Maximum Allowable Security
Requirement or MASR"). Where new lateral facilities serve multiple
shippers, an individual shipper's maximum security obligation will be
for no more than its proportionate share of the MASR ("Shipper's
Maximum Security Obligation or SMSO"). Subsequent to Expansion
Capacity on lateral facilities being placed into service, the SMSO
shall be reduced in proportion to contract term. Shipper's actual
security requirement, as identified within the open season project
requirements, may be equal to or less than the SMSO ("Shipper's Actual
Security Obligation or SASO"). When the SMSO equals the SASO held by
Transporter, Transporter shall thereafter return Shipper's security on
either a monthly basis or as mutually agreed with Shipper consistent
with the reduction in SMSO. Transporter is only permitted to recover
the cost of Expansion Capacity on lateral facilities once through
either transportation rates or, in the event of shipper default, by
means of the security provided through this provision.
