(7) 								                Protective requirements that are considered by the Government to be prudent and feasible in the specific circumstances.

(h) 						            If a contractor appeal of the debt determination is pending, the deferment agreement shall also include a requirement that the contractor shall-                                                         (1) 								                Diligently prosecute the appeal; and                                                            (2) 								                Pay the debt in full when the appeal is decided, or when the parties reach agreement on the debt amount.
