(d) Any amounts collected by an energy utility in connection with the sale, transfer, or disposition of substitute natural gas under a qualified contract that forms the basis of an SNG property interest assigned under this section constitute the property of the assignee. Pending the transfer of the SNG property interest to the assignee, the amounts described in this subsection shall be:

(2) held in trust for the benefit of the assignee;
subject to the terms of the qualified contract that forms the basis of the SNG property interest that is being assigned.
