GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS (Cont'd)
(b) Transporter and Replacement Shipper shall execute the Assignment Agreement in substantially the
form contained in this Tariff; provided that such an Agreement shall be executed electronically where an
executed contract is required within five business days of its transmission by Transporter. That Assignment
Agreement shall contain all terms and conditions of the release and assignment; provided that such terms and
conditions are identical to those set forth in the underlying Release Notice. Where electronic contracting is
required as described immediately above, all Replacement Shippers must have executed an Electronic Contracting
Agreement in accordance with the electronic contracting procedures specified in Section 5.7 of the General
Terms and Conditions. All Replacement Shippers must appear on Transporter's Approved Bidders List, which list
shall indicate Bidders that have executed an Electronic Contracting Agreement. Service will not be provided
unless the Assignment Agreement properly has been executed. If the Replacement Shipper does not execute and
return such Assignment Agreement within two business days of Transporter's tender (or such later date
established by Releasor through notice to Transporter and Replacement Shipper), the bid and Transporter's
offer of an Assignment Agreement shall be void and Transporter will tender an Assignment Agreement to the next
highest acceptable bidder, if any, consistent with the terms of the Release Notice. Except with respect to
prearranged transactions described in Section 14.2(a) above, Replacement Shippers failing to return such
agreement shall be removed from Transporter's Approved Bidders List for six months, or less than six months if
agreed to in writing by the Releasor. Nothing herein shall restrict Releasor from pursuing any other remedies
it may have against a Replacement Shipper failing to execute and return an Assignment Agreement tendered by
Transporter.
14.6 Implementation; Receipt and Delivery Points. Following acceptance of a bid for assignment and
execution of an assignment agreement, Transporter will accept nominations or requests for alternate receipt or
delivery points for the assigned capacity. Replacement Shippers may submit nominations to Transporter in the
next available nomination cycle, as specified in Section 6.2(e) of the General Terms and Conditions. In the
event Shipper has not executed the Assignment Agreement prior to making its nomination, Shipper will be deemed
to have executed the Assignment Agreement with Transporter pursuant to which the nomination is being made.
Replacement Shippers may not, however, exercise flexible receipt and delivery point authority at primary
points unless such exercise is agreed to in writing by Releasor. Quantities flowing under assigned service
rights shall have the same priority as those quantities had under the applicable underlying service agreement
originally entered into by Releasor and Transporter, and that priority shall be unaffected by whether or not
the assignment is subject to recall, as described at Section 14.7 below.
14.7 Recall; Reassignment of Assigned Service Rights.
(a) Agreements Subject to Recall. Releasors shall be permitted to specify as a condition for
releasing capacity the right to recall that assigned capacity upon notice to Transporter and to Replacement
Shipper. Any such recall provision must be included in the Release Notice originally submitted by Releasor
and in the assignment agreement executed following assignment of the capacity. The Release Notice and the
assignment agreement governing the assigned capacity shall clearly state (i) the frequency with which Releasor
may recall any released capacity, (ii) the maximum duration of any such recall, (iii) whether and under what
conditions any right of first refusal held by Releasor is transferred to Replacement Shipper, and (iv) such
other terms as Releasor may specify. Replacement Shipper shall be permitted to make secondary assignments of
all or any part of the capacity, unless prohibited by the Releasor, contained in its assignment agreement that
is subject to Releasor's right to recall, provided, however, that such assignments shall not vary the recall
provisions contained in the original assignment.
