3. CONTRACTING FOR SERVICE (continued)
3.4 Credit Evaluation (continued):
(b) Saltville shall not be required to perform or to continue
service under any Rate Schedule on behalf of any Customer
who is or has become insolvent or who, at Saltville's
request, fails within a reasonable period to demonstrate
creditworthiness. Upon notification by Saltville that a
Customer has failed to satisfy the credit criteria or
subsequently during the term of the service agreement no
longer satisfies the credit criteria, such Customer may
still obtain credit approval by Saltville if it pays any
outstanding balances due Saltville for service rendered or
has complied with Section 14.3 of the General Terms and
Conditions with regard to such balances and elects to
provide one of the following security:
(1) an advance deposit;
(2) a standby irrevocable letter of credit, acceptable to
Saltville, issued by a financial institution that
satisfies Saltville's credit appraisal;
(3) security interest in collateral found to be
satisfactory to Saltville; or
(4) a guarantee, acceptable to Saltville, by another
person or entity which satisfies Saltville's credit
appraisal.
Saltville shall provide such Customer with a written
statement supporting Saltville's request for the security
amount requested at the time such security is requested. If
Saltville rejects the security provided by Customer in
accordance with Section 3.4(b)(2)-(4) above, Saltville shall
re-issue its request for the security and include a written
explanation for the rejection of the security previously
provided by Customer. For a new Customer, or a Customer
requesting a Billing Amendment, such security shall be
calculated as follows:
(i) For firm storage service, an amount equal to the three
(3) highest Months during a Contract Year or the
duration of Customer's Firm Storage Service Agreement,
whichever is shorter, worth of Reservation Charges at
the rate specified in Customer's Firm Storage Service
Agreement;
