GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
(Continued)
(F) Customer shall confirm in writing that no significant collection lawsuits or
judgments are outstanding which would seriously reflect upon the business
entity's ability to remain solvent.
3.4 Upon notification by Pipeline 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 Pipeline if it pays any
outstanding balances due Pipeline for service rendered or has complied with Section
10.6 of the General Terms and Conditions with regard to such balances and elects to
provide one of the following:
(A) an advance deposit;
(B) a standby irrevocable letter of credit;
(C) security interest in collateral found to be satisfactory to Pipeline; or
(D) a guarantee, acceptable to Pipeline, by another person or entity which satisfies
credit appraisal.
Such advance deposit, standby irrevocable letter of credit, security interest or
guarantee should at all times equal the amount equal to three (3) months of highest
estimated usage during the term of the service agreement. If Customer's credit
standing ceases to meet Pipeline's credit requirements during the period of service,
then Pipeline has the right to require security or prepayment as specified herein. If
security or prepayment is not tendered in a time period as reasonably determined by
Pipeline, then Pipeline is not required to continue service. If Customer is unable to
maintain credit approval, the executed service agreement shall terminate as of the
first day of the month following written notice to Customer.
Initial service agreements shall be subject to this Section 3.4 only with respect to
subsequent failure to satisfy the credit criteria during the term of the service
agreement.
3.5 A request for service shall not be deemed to have been received by Pipeline until
Pipeline has received the information required or requested under Sections 3.2 through
3.4 herein. In the event that any information provided by Customer in Sections 3.2
through 3.4 has materially changed or may materially change, Customer shall be
obligated to provide written notice of such material changes to Pipeline, or Customer
under an Initial Service Agreement shall be obligated to provide notice in the format
required by Sections 3.2 through 3.4 herein, of such material change in its ability to
meet the credit criteria set forth in Section 3.3 on and after the date of execution of
the Initial Service Agreement. If Pipeline requests additional information or
assurance in accordance with this section, and such additional information or assurance
is provided in writing by Customer within ten (10) days of Pipeline's request,
Customer's request for service will be deemed to have been received when the
information set forth in Sections 3.2 through 3.4 was initially received. Otherwise,
Customer's request for service will be
