(2) whether the release is recallable or non-recallable; and if recallable,
(i) whether the recall rights are on a full Day or a partial Day basis,
(ii) the specifics of any recall right, (iii) whether the Releasing
Customer's recall notification must be provided exclusively on a Business
Day, and (iv) any reput methods and rights associated with returning the
previously recalled capacity to the Replacement Customer. These rights
and methods may be either: (i) reput must be accepted by the original
Replacement Customer for the original terms of the release, or (ii)
reput may be accepted at the option of the original Replacement Customer
for the original terms of the release.
(3) the MDTQ, expressed as a numeric quantity, to be released, subject to the
calculation described in Section 14.4(g) below;
(4) the primary Point(s) of Receipt and the MDRO associated with each such
point, and/or the primary Point(s) of Delivery and the MDDO associated
with such point, subject to the calculation described in Section 14.4(g)
below, if the Releasing Customer is proposing to release any of its
primary points and the associated point quantities;
(5) the period of the release;
(6) any other conditions of the release;
(7) identity of any Prearranged Customer;
(8) any minimum reservation charge requirements or, if Releasing Customer
elects to entertain bids on a volumetric rate basis, the minimum
reservation charge stated on a volumetric basis. For releases that
become effective on or after July 30, 2008, the Releasing Customer may
specify a minimum Reservation Charge requirement which is in excess of
the maximum tariff rate for the applicable service if (i) the term of the
proposed release is one (1) year or less, and (ii) the effective date of
the proposed release is on or before one (1) year from the date on which
Algonquin is notified of the release.
(9) whether bids should be submitted in dollars and cents or percentages of
maximum tariff rate;
(10) for biddable releases, the bid evaluation method which shall be, at the
Releasing Customer's option, one of the following three standard
evaluation methods: highest rate, net revenue or present value; or an
alternative Releasing Customer defined bid evaluation method, including,
but not limited to, the application of the Risk of Default Factor as set
forth in Section 2.5(e); provided, however, Releasing Customer's
specified alternative bid evaluation method must be set forth with
sufficient specificity that Algonquin's evaluation of the bids to
determine the "best bid" is a purely ministerial matter that does not
require any discretionary exercise of judgment by Algonquin; in addition,
Releasing Customer must specify the Tie Break Method that Algonquin will
apply to award capacity among multiple bids that yield the same value;
