GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
(Continued)
11. SERVICE AGREEMENT AND CREDITWORTHINESS (Continued)
(e) Transporter shall not be required to perform or to continue service
under any Rate Schedule on behalf of any Shipper who is or has become
insolvent or who, at Transporter’s request, fails within a reasonable
period to demonstrate creditworthiness. For purposes herein, the
insolvency of a Shipper shall be conclusively demonstrated by the
filing by Shipper or any parent entity thereof (hereinafter
collectively referred to as "the Shipper") of a voluntary petition in
bankruptcy or the entry of a decree or order by a court having
jurisdiction in the premises adjudging the Shipper bankrupt or
insolvent, or approving, as properly filed, a petition seeking
reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition of or in
respect of the Shipper under the Federal Bankruptcy Act or any other
applicable federal or state law, or appointing receiver, liquidator,
assignee, trustee, sequestrator (or other similar official) of the
Shipper or of any substantial part of its property, or the ordering of
the winding-up or liquidation of its affairs.
12. PRIORITY OF SERVICE
12.1 Firm Service. Firm service shall be those services which are
defined as firm in the Rate Schedules under Transporter's Volume No. 1
Tariff.
12.2 Interruptible Service. Interruptible service shall be any
transportation service that is not firm as defined in Section
12.1, including interruptible services under Transporter's Volume No. 1
Tariff.
12.3 Priority Date. For purposes of this tariff, the term "Service
Agreement" shall mean an executed Service Agreement for transportation
and/or any executed amendments to that Service Agreement. A
request for an amendment to a Service Agreement is generally a new
request for interruptible priority purposes to the extent that it adds a
Receipt Point and/or Delivery Point, increases volume, converts
Interruptible transportation to firm transportation, converts Section 311
or 7(c) transportation to blanket certificate transportation or changes
the Shipper, other than a change in Shipper's name. Only that portion of
the service which is new will receive a new priority date. However,
existing agreements may be amended, without the amendment constituting a
new agreement for priority purposes, consistent with the flexible Receipt
Point and Delivery Point provisions of Rate Schedule IT-1, of this tariff.
(a) For purposes of this Section 12, "Priority Date" shall mean
the date Shipper requests service pursuant to Section 16 of the
General Terms and Conditions.
