6.3 Upon notification by KPC that Shipper has failed to satisfy the
credit criteria, or subsequently during the term of the Service
Agreement no longer satisfies the credit criteria such Shipper
may still obtain credit approval by KPC if it elects to provide
one of the following: (a) an advance deposit equal to the fee
charged for performing the requested service for three (3)
months; (b) a Standby Irrevocable Letter of Credit; (c) security
interest in collateral found to be satisfactory to KPC; (d) a
guaranty, acceptable to KPC, by another person or entity which
satisfies credit appraisal. An advance deposit, Standby
Irrevocable Letter of Credit, or security interest should at all
times equal the three highest Months of estimated usage during
the term of the Service Agreement.
6.4 At any time after the Shipper is determined to be noncreditworthy
by KPC, the Shipper may initiate a creditworthiness re-
evaluation. As part of the re-evaluation request, the Shipper
should either update or confirm in writing the prior information
provided to KPC related to the Shipper's creditworthiness. Such
update should include any event(s) that the Shipper believes
could lead to a material change in the Shipper's
creditworthiness.
6.5 After KPC's receipt of Shipper's request for re-evaluation,
including all required information pursuant to NAESB WGQ Standard
0.3.8 ("Shipper's Request"), within five (5) Business Days, KPC
should provide a written response to the Shipper's Request. Such
written response should include either a determination of
creditworthiness status, clearly stating the reason(s) for KPC's
decision, or an explanation supporting a future date by which a
re-evaluation determination will be made. In no event should
such re-evaluation determination exceed twenty (20) Business Days
from the date of the receipt of the Shipper's Request unless
specified in KPC's tariff or if the parties mutually agree to
some later date.
6.6 If Shipper's credit standing ceases to meet KPC's credit
requirements during the period of service, then KPC has the right
to require security or prepayment as specified in 6.3 above. If
security or prepayment is not tendered in a time period as
reasonably determined by KPC, then KPC is not required to
continue service.
