GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
----------------------------
(3) The existing Shipper shall have two (2) weeks
to notify KMIP whether or not it desires to match the best bid. To
match the best bid, the existing Shipper must agree to a price (up to
the applicable maximum rate or Recourse Rate) and a term (up to five
Years) which at least equals the bid on all or any portion of the
service the existing Shipper desires to retain; provided, however,
that if the existing Shipper seeks to retain only a portion of its
MDQ, the analysis of whether the existing Shipper has matched the best
bid may take into account the MDQ requested under the best bid
relative to the MDQ the existing Shipper seeks to retain. The existing
Shipper may provide a counteroffer which contains either a higher
price than the best bid or a longer term than the best bid to offset a
shorter term or a lower price than that offered in the best bid. KMIP
shall determine whether such a counteroffer constitutes a match,
utilizing the same criteria as were applied to determine the best bid.
(e) (1) If the existing Shipper matches the best bid,
it shall be entitled to continuation of service and shall be obligated
to sign an Agreement tendered by KMIP which reflects the best bid or
any counteroffer by the existing Shipper which matches such best bid.
(2) If the existing Shipper fails to match the
best bid, the existing Agreement shall terminate at the end of its
term and service to the existing Shipper shall be automatically
abandoned.
(3) Submission of a bid shall be binding on the
bidder. The bidder submitting the best bid shall be obligated to sign
an Agreement reflecting its bid if the existing Shipper fails to
match. Nothing herein shall preclude negotiation of a more acceptable
Agreement by mutual consent of KMIP and such bidder; provided,
however, that service may not be agreed upon under terms and
conditions less favorable to KMIP than the best bid without providing
the existing Shipper an additional opportunity to match such revised
terms and conditions.
(f) In the absence of a qualified bid, KMIP shall so
notify the existing Shipper and the term shall be negotiated between
KMIP and the existing Shipper. No discount or other special terms
shall apply to a rollover Agreement unless KMIP and existing Shipper
mutually agree. If no agreement is reached prior to the end of the two
(2) week period following KMIP's notice to the existing Shipper, the
existing Shipper may, at that time, require that KMIP enter into an
Agreement to provide service at the applicable maximum rate for a term
specified by the existing Shipper and running from the date the
