GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
----------------------------
KMIP shall issue a contract to the winning Qualified Bidder within
one (1) hour after the capacity has been awarded. So long as the
winning bidder has pre-approved credit, that bidder can submit a
nomination consistent with the above regardless of whether a
contract with KMIP covering the capacity awarded has been issued or
executed; provided, however, that a contract must be executed under
the provisions of the relevant rate schedule regarding timely
execution of a contract tendered by KMIP in order for a Shipper to
have continued service beyond the maximum time specified for timely
contract execution. If the original Shipper has already submitted a
nomination on a Day under the Agreement being released, and if the
Replacement Agreement covering the released capacity is effective
that same Day, the original Shipper may incur overrun charges if his
nomination exceeds the reduced contractual parameters under the
original Agreement resulting from the release (i.e., if the original
Shipper fails to reduce its nomination, or does not adequately
reduce its nomination, at the first opportunity the Replacement
Shipper has to nominate).
(e) Gas nominations for transportation pursuant to
released capacity are subject to the provisions of Section 6 of
these General Terms and Conditions. Gas nominations by a Shipper
utilizing released capacity awarded by KMIP shall constitute
Shipper's binding acceptance of the terms and conditions of the
capacity award by KMIP pursuant to this Section 14, including KMIP's
standard form of Agreement covering the Rate Schedule applicable to
the released capacity and the terms and conditions of the Qualified
Bid and the Capacity Release Request, in accordance with KMIP's
Tariff.
(f) Subject to the other provisions in this Section
14, in the event that there is no Qualified Bidder or Prearranged
Shipper for posted Eligible Firm Transportation Agreement capacity
during an open season, no capacity release will be awarded and the
Releasing Shipper shall retain the capacity sought to be released.
14.10 BID EVALUATION PROCEDURE
(a) Unless specifically requested otherwise by a
Releasing Shipper in its Capacity Release Request, Qualified Bids
for released capacity shall be evaluated pursuant to Sections
14.10(b) through 14.10(h) below. Any Qualified Bid which does not
meet a minimum price condition stated in the Capacity Release
