GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
----------------------------
(iv) guarantee of all such amounts for twelve
(12) Months of service for those Shippers subscribing to capacity
prior to the pipeline being in service and for three (3) months for
those Shippers subscribing to capacity after the pipeline is in
service by a person or another entity which does satisfy the credit
appraisal, except to the extent otherwise agreed; or
(v) other security acceptable to MEP.
(2) By mutual agreement, in lieu of credit support
under subsection (b)(1), MEP and Shipper may enter into an agreement
that provides that, in the event Shipper is deemed non-creditworthy,
MEP and its affiliates may net their respective payment obligations
to Shipper or its affiliates up to the amount of the deficient credit
support owed MEP under these provisions.
(3) The value of imbalance Gas and loaned Gas shall be
determined in accordance with this subsection (3). MEP may require
security from noncreditworthy Shippers for the value of imbalance Gas
either under an OBA or under Rate Schedules FTS and/or ITS and of Gas
loaned under Rate Schedule PALS. The amount of security necessary to
collateralize imbalance Gas and Gas loans shall be equal to the
outstanding quantities of imbalance Gas and of Gas previously loaned
to the Shipper plus any additional quantities of imbalance Gas which
MEP reasonably expects to incur during the ensuing 12 months based on
prior experience and any additional quantities of loaned Gas which
MEP is obligated to loan Shipper pursuant to an executed Request
Order, times the Index Price. The Index Price as used herein shall
mean, as applicable, the Midpoint Price published in Gas Daily on the
Day the imbalance volume is calculated or the loan is agreed upon
(which will generally reflect the previous Business Day's activity)
for the Operational Impact Area in which the imbalance or loan is to
occur. If such a price is not published by Gas Daily for that day,
MEP will use a price based on an appropriate index price in another
Gas Daily publication or another publication of common use in the
industry as mutually agreed upon by MEP and Shipper.
