GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
3. REQUESTS FOR SERVICE/CREDIT EVALUATIONS (Continued)
3.8 Creditworthiness for Interruptible Transportation (continued)
(b)(Continued)
(3) A letter of credit. Shipper may post a letter of credit in a
form acceptable to Transporter. For interruptible service, the
amount of the letter of credit must be up to the maximum amount
of the services that may be provided in any three-month period
under an interruptible agreement. Such letter of credit must be
issued by a commercial bank or financial institution located in
the United States whose long-term unsecured debt securities are
rated A or better by Standard & Poor's, A or better by Dominion
Bond Rating Service, or A2 or better by Moody's Investors
Service; or
(4) A guarantee from a corporate affiliate or a third party in an
amount up to the maximum amount of interruptible services that
may be provided in any three-month period and in a form
satisfactory to Transporter. For such Shippers, the credit
limit will be based upon the financials of the guarantor. If
during the term of service the guarantor does not meet the
creditworthiness standards discussed above, then Transporter may
request additional alternatives if Transporter agrees to release
the original guarantor of all obligations at the time the
Shipper provides the additional assurances; or
(5) Any other security mutually agreed upon by Shipper and
Transporter. Such other security shall be accepted on a non-
discriminatory basis.
3.9 Creditworthiness for Parking and Lending Services.
The standards for interruptible transportation service apply to
parking and lending service. For lending service, however, the
security requirement under the cash and letter of credit options
includes an amount to adequately account for the value of the gas
being lent. The amount of security necessary to collateralize lent
gas will be up to Shipper's maximum quantity times the average annual
"Malin" price, as reported in Gas Daily's Price Survey, for the
preceding 12-month period ended October 31. Transporter shall have no
obligation to lend any quantity of gas beyond amounts for which
Transporter holds security.
