10.9 Continuation of Service
Subject to the requirements of Section 7 of the Natural Gas Act, Pipeline shall not be
required to perform or to continue to perform service on behalf of any Customer that
has applied for bankruptcy under the Bankruptcy Code or on behalf of any Customer who,
at Pipeline's discretion, fails to demonstrate minimal credit worthiness as required
under this FERC Gas Tariff; provided, however, such Customer may receive service if
said Customer prepays for such service or, upon fifteen (15) days notice from Pipeline,
furnishes good and sufficient surety bond, or other good and sufficient security, as
determined by Pipeline in its discretion, of a continuing nature and in an amount equal
to the cost of performing the service requested by or provided to Customer for up to a
three (3) month period; and provided further, that an exception will be made for a
Customer who is a debtor in possession operating under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy
Code where adequate assurance is provided from the bankruptcy court having jurisdiction
over such debtor in possession that service billings will be paid promptly as a cost of
administration of the bankruptcy proceeding.
