GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
(continued)
2. REQUEST FOR TRANSPORTATION SERVICE (continued)
2.5 Open Season for Available Capacity.
Upon receipt of a valid request for firm service pursuant to Section 2.4 with a term
greater than thirty (30) days for which Algonquin determines capacity is available to
satisfy any such request, Algonquin shall post notices for solicitation of bids in an
open season for service to start immediately or in the future. For valid requests for
firm service pursuant to Section 2.4 with a term of thirty (30) days or less for which
Algonquin determines capacity is available to satisfy any such request, Algonquin shall
have the right, but shall not be obligated, to post notices for solicitation of bids in
an open season on such capacity. In addition, Algonquin shall post notices for
solicitation of bids in an open season for significant mainline or lateral capacity
expansion projects on its system; provided, however, that an open season shall not be
required for minor or auxiliary facilities, additions of receipt and/or delivery
facilities or facility modifications which do not significantly alter the operational
characteristics of the pipeline system.
For any open season conducted pursuant to this Section 2.5 for service with a term of
less than ninety (90) days, the open season will be conducted for a minimum of one (1)
Business Day. For an open season under this Section 2.5 for service with a term equal
to or greater than ninety (90) days that is not otherwise associated with an expansion
project, the open season will be conducted for a minimum of (i) five (5) Business Days
from the posting of the notice of request for service for the capacity or (ii) fifteen
(15) Business Days from the date the capacity in question was first posted as being
available for contracting, whichever is the later calendar date. In no event shall the
open season be for a period greater than one (1) calendar month. All open seasons shall
end at 2:00 p.m. CT not less than one (1) Business Day prior to the date service would
be available. The open season may include generally available unsubscribed capacity;
capacity under expiring or terminating service agreements, to the extent such agreements
do not have a right of first refusal or the subject shipper does not exercise the right
of first refusal; and/or capacity resulting from one or more expansion projects.
Algonquin will post available capacity before it provides such information to any
potential customer.
(a) The open season notice will include the following:
(1) the location of the capacity or proposed expansion;
(2) the total quantity, unless such quantity is not known or knowable;
(3) the date capacity is available or proposed to be available; and
(4) the dates on which the open season begins and ends.
Algonquin will attempt to structure any such open season posting pursuant to this
Section 2.5 so as not to identify specifically the Customer or potential customer
submitting the request and/or the specific location of the market(s) to be served.
