(Continued)
This allocated daily contractual entitlement shall be used for
purposes of nominations, billing, and if applicable, for overrun
calculations.
The MSQ, Maximum Park Quantity or Maximum Loan Quantity that can be

4.3 Posting and Bidding Timeline. For the Capacity Release
business process timing model, only the following methodologies
shall be supported by BLUEWATER and provided to Releasing Customers
as choices from which they may select and, once chosen, shall be
used in determining the awards from the bid(s) submitted. They are:
1) highest rate, 2) net revenue and 3) present value. Other choices
of bid evaluation methodology (including other Releasing Customer
defined evaluation methodologies) can be accorded similar timeline
evaluation treatment at BLUEWATER's discretion; however, BLUEWATER
is not required to offer other choices or similar timeline treatment
for other choices. Further, BLUEWATER shall not be held to the
timeline specified in Sections 4.3(a) and 4.3(b) below should the
Releasing Customer elect another method of evaluation. Should the
Releasing Customer elect another method of evaluation, the timeline
specified in Section 4.3(c) below shall apply. The proposed
duration of Customer's release determines the minimum bid period for
the Customer's offer pursuant to this Section 4. The Capacity
Release timeline is applicable to all parties involved in the
Capacity Release process; however, it is only applicable if (i) all
information provided by the parties to the transaction is valid and
the Replacement Customer has been determined to be creditworthy
before the capacity release bid is tendered and (ii) there are no
special terms or conditions of the release.
The Capacity Release timeline is as follows:
(a) For standard releases of less than one (1) year:
- Offers shall be tendered by 12:00 p.m. CCT on a Business
Day;
- The bid period shall end at 1:00 p.m. CCT on the same
Business Day or at 1:00 p.m. CCT on any subsequent
Business Day as specified in Releasing Customer's offer,
whichever is elected by Releasing Customer;
- Evaluation period begins at 1:00 p.m. CCT on the Day the
bid period ends, during which contingency is eliminated,
determination of best bid is made, and ties are broken;
- Evaluation period ends and award is posted if no match is
required at 2:00 p.m. CCT the same Day;
- If the Prearranged Replacement Customer's bid is not the
"best bid", BLUEWATER shall allow such Prearranged
Replacement Customer a Matching Period of thirty (30)
minutes from 2:00 p.m. until 2:30 p.m. CCT on the Day
the Bid Period ends, or such later time as specified in
the Releasing Customer's offer, to determine whether to
match the "best bid" and to notify BLUEWATER of its
decision.
- If a match is required, the award will be posted by
3:00 p.m. CCT.
